IMPERIALISM AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKARThe racial, ideological, cultural, economic and political aggressions, invasions, expansions ;are either deceptive, illusive, disguised, surreptious, concealed, covert; or blatantly barbaric and coercive; or both; and have been taking place in many parts of the world, for millennia.
These have been usually associated with corrupt distortion of historical facts of philosophy, religions, ideologies, sociology, politics and even art and literature and science and gullible submission to; and admission of; them.
This is born out of the instincts of racial, religious, ideological, cultural, economic and political supremacy; on the one hand; and helpless submission to them; on the other. These are natural and understandable; but have to be defeated; as they are undoubtedly retrogressive, exploitative, oppressive, coercive, brutal and destructive and/or suicidal.
If we introspect and try to understand and appreciate our own deepest aspirations, then we would realize that the basic desire of ownership, and possessions when multiplies cancerously; it culminates into all types of imperialism and expansionism.
When billions of people begin to practice NAMASMARAN; their craving of ownership; or listless submission; are consumed into inner growth and internal unity. The rabid competition and the indiscriminate violence get dissolved in unity, cordiality. The corrupt distortion of historical facts; gets rectified. The art, science, ideologies, philosophies, religions, literature and laws get revitalized, rejuvenated, remodeled, holisticized and globally blossoming.
