BUNGE LA MWANANCHI – freedom from hunger from a Paras Shah???:
In 1978 when Mzee Kenyatta died, the cost of a 2kg packet of maize flour was Kshs 2.80. On December 27, 2002 maize flour cost was Kshs 27. During 24 years of Moi’s rule, the price of Unga had increased by Kshs 24, an average of 1 shilling per year. In 2003 the cost of Unga increased to Kshs.54; it doubled. In only 1 year the Narc government had increased the price
of Unga by Shs. 27, more than Moi’s government had increased in 24 years.

On December 27, 2002, one kilo of sugar cost 27/=, today a kilo of sugar costs 85/=. When Narc assumed office a litre of paraffin cost 22/=, today it costs 60/=. Under the Narc government the cost of transport doubled. In fact, the cost of all basic products has risen by over 100%.

As a result, we the ordinary citizens continue to struggle just to survive from one day to the other. We welcome free primary education; our children are not required to pay school fees. However, with the rising cost of food, children either go to school hungry, or even stay at home. The reason is simple- food is too expensive. In fact, during the Moi era many of us were able to afford both fees and food. Today most of us cannot afford food, even though we are not paying fees.

It is true that the Narc government has made improvements. Farmers are being paid for their produce. Coffee, sugar, tea, milk, maize and many products are better paid today than during the Moi era. Why, then, does the Kenyan farmer continue to struggle? Because the cost of all farm inputs – seeds, fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides- have doubled or tripled. The money the farmers are getting is quickly taken back through these exorbitant prices.

Today 3 out of 5 Kenyans are either starving or on the brink of starvation. In a nation of 30 million, that means 18 million Kenyans cannot afford to feed themselves every day. Many of us live on one meal a day, and on some days that meal is not available and our hungry children cry until they sleep.

Is it because we do not work? Ordinary Kenyans work every day. We till the land, work in factories, flower farms and EPZ. We dig ditches, chip and carry stones from quarries, hawk products on the streets, run kiosks.

Most of us are casual labourers, cleaning homes for the rich, doing clerical work in their companies, mixing concrete in their construction. The average casual labourer is paid only 100/= per day to do extremely hard work. 100/= is no longer enough to buy food for a family; unga is 54/=. Paraffin, sukuma wiki, cooking oil, water and rent are supposed to come from the
Remaining 46/=. That is why we are sleeping with empty stomachs even after working hard.

Where are our MPs?
Since independence Kenya has never missed a scheduled election. Every 5 years ordinary citizens elect MPs. Their only job is to give voice to the people’s needs. Why are they so quiet when food prices increase?

During the Kenyatta and Moi era, like ordinary Kenyans, MPs’ salary was less than 20,000/=. Some MPs were rich, but many were ordinary citizens who understood the struggles of ordinary citizens. Today an MP earns over Kshs.600,000 every month. Each month an MP can afford to buy over 10,000 packets of unga, enough to feed his family for 30 years! That is why MPs say
nothing about the high cost of food. And, this includes all our MPs, not just geovernment MPs. When it comes to voting for their needs, there is usually no difference between our MPs.

Why are Kenyans unable to afford food?
Every year starving Kenyans are given dry maize because they have no food. The government blames this on lack of rain. It is true that it has not rained in some areas for a long time. But it is also true that year round Kenya exports vegetables like French beans to Europe. Kenya is the top exporter of flowers in the world. If there is enough water to irrigate flowers and French beans for Europeans, why not use the same water to grow food for Kenyans?

Because the government does not care whether Kenyans live or die. Kenyans are paid very little salaries for making products that earn billions for foreigners. The government has poor planning leading to poor policies which have contributed to joblessness; poor remuneration; mismanagement of national resources like water (e.g. a government water project delivers water to a minister’s farm in Kajiado, leaving the rest of the district dry); unexploited talent (educated and trained Kenyans are either unemployed or retrenched); high taxation of citizens (foreigners who invest in Kenya don’t pay taxes for 10 years while citizens are taxed heavily from the first day); bad politics (If MPs can spend heavily for referendum campaigns why not use the same energy to help starving Kenyans?); improper, imbalanced education due to poor education policy (the rich have well equipped private schools, the poor learn under trees); lack of research on food; etc

The most serious reason, however, is the inequitable distribution of resources. The gap between the richest and the poorest people in Kenya is the second highest in the world; we are a nation of a few billionaires and 30 million beggars. 75% of our resources, including land, are controlled by foreigners. As a result, we remain essentially enslaved, nearly all of us work for foreign interests.

At the same time, 90% of all income generated in Kenya is owned by only 10%, meaning that 27 million Kenyans have to fight for only 10% of the income. Sadly, there is no truly selfless leader in Kenya. Poor leadership means that people with selfless nationalism like JM Kariuki are quickly killed, leaving us with selfish and corrupt leaders.

Can food be made affordable?
The government can easily ensure that no Kenyan will ever go hungry. First, foreigners can be taxed and a fund created that would provide Kenyan farmers with interest-free loans. Money leaving the country should be limited so that money earned in Kenya develops Kenya. Also, money coming to Kenya should not be scrutinized so that, like Switzerland, Kenya benefits from foreign funds. We can use existing resources like the military and the National Youth Service to drill boreholes, make water furrows, construct water reservoirs to harvest rainwater, improve roads and distribute food. Drilling boreholes makes more sense than constructing dams, which are dependent on rains. Education can be improved so that Kenyans are given appropriate training (e.g. teach carpentry, brick making, etc to all Kenyans, not just prisoners). Kenyans can be encouraged to grow indigenous crops by having an extra tax imposed on all foreign food imports. Kenyans should be allowed to transport food freely from any part of the country without requiring licenses or paying any fees.

Like other countries, the government must be forced to subsidize the cost of basic food products. If we go by the history of the Moi era, the cost of Unga should increase by 1/= each year. Since in 2002 it was 27/= the cost of Unga should not exceed 30/=. At the same time, the government should subsidize the cost of Kerosene/paraffin which ordinary citizens use.

Bunge la Mwananchi believes that there is enough money for the government of Kenya to subsidize Unga and paraffin. By removing taxes on Unga and paraffin, the prices should drop. Further, the government should find money to subsidize basic food products. Kenyans need affordable food, NOT relief food. Queuing for dry maize with our children undermines our
Dignity and is not a sustainable solution. If food prices are reduced, no Kenyan will go hungry. We are willing to work for our food, as long as the prices are affordable.

Where will the money come from?
The government has plenty of money, it just misuses it. We demand that the salaries of MPs are reduced to no more than 200,000 per month, and like everyone else, the MPs should pay taxes and contribute to the national pension schemes of NSSF and PAYE. Pension scheme for MPs and health insurance to private hospitals should be scrapped; MPs should have NHIF insurance and go to government hospitals like other Kenyans. The over 1 billion set aside in the budget for renovating MPs offices and enlarging parliament should be used to subsidize food or establish a fund for capital investment in small businesses for Kenyans. That will generate income and provide employment. The 100million budgeted for building the VP’s house and the 400 million for renovating State house should be used for building low cost houses for Kenyans. Like Rwanda, Kenya should sell all expensive government vehicles and replace them with simple vehicles, which should only be used during government business and not for taking Ministers’ girlfriends shopping. The President, if he is serious about reducing expenses in government, should start by firing all cabinet ministers who have refused to give back the extra cars. No public officer should ever have more than one vehicle assigned to him. The money saved can be used to improve transport for ordinary Kenyans. All presidential commissions should be immediately abolished; they consume billions and deliver nothing. Spending 300 million on Mutava Musyimi’s commission or paying Ringera 2.5 million per month to fight corruption is, itself, corruption. That money can be used better. Alfred Mutua should be sacked. Kenya has no need for a spokesman telling us about homesick hyenas in Thailand at a cost of 1.5 million per month. Retreats for MPs should be banned; meetings should be in Parliament not in 5-star hotels in Mombasa. Funding for MPs offices in their constituencies should be scrapped, those offices can be run by volunteers at no cost. Pension for retired presidents should be no more than 300,000. Imports of locally available products should be heavily taxed. No public funds should ever be used to fund funerals or help individual families unless similar priviledges are extended to all Kenyans.

What can we do?
We have started a campaign to force the government to reduce the cost of Unga to 30/=. We demand that MPs move and pass a motion to remove VAT on all basic food stuff; it is not too much to ask considering that MPs were able to remove taxes on their salaries and vehicles.
Before coming to us for votes this year we, the people, want to remind our politicians that we will agitate for reforms that suit us, not “minimum reformsto ensure that they are re-elected. We will also have peaceful protests nationwide. Support us by giving this message to as many people as possible and joining our organized demonstrations.

Kenya is too poor for public servants to earn more than leader of the world’s fourth largest economy. By Tony Sisule from Kumar

Kenya is too poor for public servants to earn more than leader of the world’s fourth largest economy. By Tony Sisule from Kumar
Britain is the fourth largest economy in the world. It had an annual GDP per capita in 2005 of $30,900 in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms. Kenya is one of the poorest countries on earth. In the same year, it had an annual GDP per capita of $1,200 in PPP terms. Britain pays its Prime Minister Sh22 million per year.
Kenya pays the Director of the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (Kacc) Sh30 million per year. And we pay our President Sh24 million per year. Kenyan ministers, their assistants and MPs, are among the highest paid anywhere in the world.
All this is happening even as we beg for money from other nations and our people die from hunger, HIV/Aids and widespread poverty. The people who really deserve pay rises, such as teachers, doctors, nurses and civil servants, get token increases after years of pleading. If there is another definition of lunacy, I would be happy to know it.
These public officials also have some of the best pension, medical, insurance and car packages on the globe. As if that is not enough, these people hardly pay any taxes, yet we have foolishly vested in them the power to determine our taxes, set their own salaries and manage state affairs.
If you want to know the devil in this scheme of things, look no further than the behaviour of MPs when a pay rise is in the air. Suddenly, the virulent enmity between ODM, NAK, Ford Kenya disappears and ardent adversaries become comrades in a heinous conspiracy.
The American revolution was partly sparked by the Boston tea party where merchants and the general public protested ‘taxation without representation’. Now since Kenyan MPs have proven that they are more interested in their own welfare that general good, I put it to them that they can no longer credibly claim to represent us.
They therefore should not be setting our taxes and drawing salaries from State coffers. The whole lot has lost credibility.
Perhaps we would not be so angry if the high pay to these public officials was matched by performance. I am afraid that the performance of these people is wanting, to say the least. If Justice Ringera succeeded in getting corrupt ministers into court as the country expects of him, perhaps he would deserve half his salary.
But the man is adept at catching only the small fish despite mounting evidence that ministers are engaged in graft. The Auditor General’s and parliamentary reports have enough information for even a rookie lawyer to get these people convicted. Perhaps we do not need the Kacc. We could simply rely on the theft laws to convict corrupt officials without the unhelpful presence of Kacc.
How about the ministers and MPs? What have they done to deserve such exalted positions and pay? And what have we done to deserve the burden of these 222 men and women? Parliament is ever lacking in quorum and ministers routinely skip question sessions.
When they do appear, they give half-baked answers to half-cooked questions. We only see them in full swing when they are flying around the country and driving the latest car models at our expense on missions merely designed to keep them in power.
I can bet there is no man or woman in this Parliament who honestly fights for the poor majority of Kenya. If there was any, s/he would have come out by now and refused to take the hefty salary or donated most of it to a worthy cause.
Kenyans must simply reject and reverse these hefty pay packages as soon as possible before the country is further bankrupted by these gluttons.
Let us do everything within our legal powers to stop this madness. We could hold protests as allowed under the law and ask individual MPs to sign a declaration rejecting the latest pay rise and accepting a reduction in their salaries and packages.
We must demand that henceforth, an independent body with representatives of ordinary citizens, organised civil society, religious bodies and the private sector, determines the salaries of the president, ministers, MPs and all senior public officials.
And all these officials must pay tax on all remuneration (salary and benefits) like the rest of us. If they refuse to pay taxes on the entire remuneration, then all of us should also not pay tax. Let us petition the President to support all these moves.
Donors should not agree to give any money to the Kenyan Government until these pay packages are reviewed downwards. And in the forthcoming elections, let us vote out all elected officials who refuse to support these changes.

The Only Good Indians Are The Wahindis in and from East Africa from Kumar

The Only Good Indians Are The Wahindis in and from East Africa from Kumar:
COMMENTARY, The Daily Nation, Nairobi, Kenya.
Shame of simmering tension and rivalry in Uganda chaos – Story by JAINDI KISERO:
How so easy it is to ignite racial violence against East African Asians – the “wahindias we refer to them in casual conversation. What happened in Uganda last week was a public outrage.
A mob protesting against plans by the government to allocate part of a forest reserve to a company owned by the Mehta Group stoned two East African Asians to death as the demonstrations exploded into racial violence.
The rioters burned cars, attacked a Hindu temple and chanted “we are tired of Asians”, carrying placards saying, “one tree cut, five Asians dead”. Innocent East African Asians were forced to take refuge in police stations. It was the most vicious display of racial intolerance in East Africa since the riots which followed the 1982 military coup attempt in Kenya.
The truth of the matter is that what happened in Uganda last week could have occurred elsewhere in East Africa.
The “Asiansare a deeply resented lot in the region – viewed as the millstone around the neck of the African business class, stereotyped as corrupt, dismissed as “paper citizens”, and branded as a socially exclusive race that has refused to intermarry with Africans.
TODAY, ANY DEMAGOGUE WHO starts a campaign against this racial minority will become an instant hero.
We pay lip service to minority rights and racial inequality. In Kenya, where national debate on a new constitutional dispensation has been raging for the last four years, the rights of minority races- the “Asiansand the so-called “Kenyan Cowboys– Kenyans of European descent – have not featured prominently on the agenda.
Kenya has not had a white Member of Parliament since Mr Philip Leakey and Mr Basil Criticos. In the past, the former Parklands constituency in Nairobi served more or less as a special parliamentary seat for the “Asians”, allowing the racial minority representation in the National Assembly.
But through successive gerrymandering of the constituency by the Government, the Asians have been rendered a minority incapable of electing even a civic leader in the Nairobi City Council.
Clearly, the time has come for East Africa to reopen debate on the “Asian Questionand discuss what needs to be done to protect these racial minorities from what Stuart Mill described as “the tyranny of the majority”.
Our biggest problem is that we are yet to change from the mindset that equates citizenship with kinship. Despite the fact that our societies have urbanised at a rapid rate, we are yet to experience the transition from the world of kinsmen to the world of compatriots.
We must get our people to accept that the racial minorities are authentic East Africans. Unlike most of us who became citizens by biological accident, East African Asians are descendants of people who became citizens by choice. At independence, they were given three choices: either to become British, or East Africans, or to immigrate to the Indian sub-continent. By choice, they decided to be East Africans.
Have East African Asians made money by exploiting Africans? Yes, there have been cases where business cartels controlled by unscrupulous merchants pushed African businessmen out of business using restrictive practices. Also, East African Asians do not enjoy very good reputations as employers.
But to say that all East African Asians own successful businesses on account of exploiting Africans is to engage in oversimplification.
Immigrant communities tend to be naturally enterprising wherever they live.
The Jews in pre-war Germany, the Chinese in South East Asia and the Lebanese in West Africa are good examples. Even in the United Kingdom, where a good number of East African Asians immigrated to after the famous quit notices of the 1960s , they have grown into a powerful force.
When they count immigrant communities which have produced successful businessmen in the UK today, East African Asians top the list. The correlation between immigrant communities and success in business is something that can not be explained away through myths and generalisations.
In retrospect, some of the things governments did to this community in the immediate post-independent period were blatantly unjust.
In Kenya and in the name of the policy of “Africanisation”, Asians were given quit notices from their businesses and shops which were then allocated to Africans by provincial business allocation committees. An Asian would wake up one morning to hear an announcement that his business had been allocated to some politically well-connected chap.
IN THOSE DAYS, THERE WAS A trading appeals tribunal which was created by Parliament to oversee the forceful transfer of Asian businesses to Africans. Under the Trade Licensing Act of 1967, Asians were banned from doing business in rural areas and non-central areas of major towns.
Many years later, the Government realised that the quit notices had not succeeded as Africans who had acquired the businesses later sold them back to Asians.
May be it is time we started thinking of passing a Racial Equality Act or creating a Racial Equality Commission.

What is wrong with Kenyans? The Kenyan people vs The Kenyan Politicians from Doc

What is wrong with Kenyans? The Kenyan people vs The Kenyan Politicians by Doc
What is wrong with Kenyans? I saw a pathetic picture in one of the newspapers last week, of three human rights campaigners standing with signs supporting the implementation of the Waki report.
They should have been at the head of a procession of thousands of (peaceful) Kenyans standing up for their rights. But they weren’t. These three alone, apparently, had the guts to actually do something about what they believe in.
The rest of Kenyans (I’m one of them) were no doubt doing what they do so well — lying back passively to be raped by their politicians. Yes, that might mostly be metaphorical rape. But as a concept, it’s not an exaggeration. Most of our politicians are people who don’t care whether we say yes or no — they just go ahead and brutally force themselves and their will on us. And generally we don’t resist.

CLEAN PAIR
There has been an outpouring of public sentiment in favour of the Waki report. But it is not the public will that matters to politicians. It is their own survival and their own ambitions. Those who fear being named in the Waki report are fighting for survival. Those who don’t fear being named are jumping on the bandwagon to further their ambitions.
There are two particular exceptions. One is President Mwai Kibaki. The other is Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Kibaki is calling for forgiveness because the line of least resistance has always been his way — and that’s not to say it’s always a bad thing. Raila is calling for implementation of the report because his politics are based on justice for the people. Neither Kibaki nor Raila is acting out of character, and to ascribe other motives to either of them is just propaganda.
These are the two people who made it possible for peace to return to Kenya this year. Kibaki could have been a Mugabe.
He wasn’t and he isn’t. Raila could have dug in for his lost victory and refused to compromise. He didn’t and he hasn’t. Both put aside difficult personal considerations for the good of the country.

SELECTIVE AMNESIA
Those saying Kibaki and Raila didn’t deserve their recent university awards have very short memories and are guilty of very shallow thinking. In our parliament, these two men are among the few sober, intelligent, mature, thinking human beings, and the co-operation they are engaging in is the only thing keeping Kenya this side of hell, make no mistake about it.
And anyone saying people only fought after the elections because of these two individuals is completely missing the point.
In Raila’s case, people voted overwhelmingly for him in six provinces out of eight — that is not disputed — not because he was of their tribe or for any superficial reason. They voted for him because they believed what he said about the policies his party would implement. That was not a vote for an individual per se. It was a vote for change.
just like gandhi
On Kibaki’s side, the Waki report says a meeting was held at State House to plot revenge for violence in the Rift Valley. Can anyone actually imagine Kibaki sitting listening while a bunch of people say: “What we’re planning is to ferry Mungiki up there and then we’ll drag people out of public transport, kick the living s**t out of them and kill them” — and Kibaki enthusiastically agreeing: “Yeah, good idea! Go for it!”?
I don’t think so. I’ve been in Kenya since the ’60s and I’ve never seen Mwai Kibaki personally do or say anything (I’ll leave aside the issue of collective responsibility during the Kanu era) that would remotely lead anyone to believe he would condone such actions.
I just don’t think that’s who he is. His henchmen – well, that might be a different story. A meeting might have taken place, but if it did, I’d be willing to bet Kibaki didn’t know the half of it.
The same is true of Raila Odinga. He was stationed at Pentagon House virtually full-time in the aftermath of the elections. There he met foreign leaders, foreign ambassadors, local and foreign press people, ODM MPs and members of the Pentagon. I was mostly present and I took a lot of notes.
Raila persistently preached the message of non-violence. He was calling for mass action of a civil and civilised nature. He simply wanted people to protest, and to prevent normal business of the day going on. He had in mind Gandhi and Aung San Suu Kyi. He thought Kenya could make peaceful protests similar to the protests spearheaded by those leaders.

ERRANT OFFICERS
This is Raila, on the phone to Condoleezza Rice, 6.40pm, January 2: “We would ask you to tell Kibaki to allow the rally, where we will tell people to be peaceful, not violent. I will give my word on that. There is a need for peaceful mass action countrywide.”
He repeated the same message over and over. This was him talking to S¸ddeutsche Zeitung Munich, January 4: “We have told people all over the country to be peaceful. They will wear white armbands signifying peace. We will continue with peaceful protest in different ways. We will move towards a national strike. Demonstrations will also continue, and prayer meetings in churches, mosques and temples.”
Most telling of all, this was Raila addressing all the ODM parliamentarians-elect in a closed-door meeting at Orange House, January 2: “Let us carry the torch of wisdom, carry it and go and plant it there. Now go back to your constituencies and protest peacefully.”
Those now calling for the “generals” to be in the dock have a strange understanding of leadership. When a general gives proper orders and his junior officers turn renegade and defy and countermand those orders, it is the junior officers who get court-martialled, not the general.
Ah, yes, the junior officers. Who would have believed ODM (‘the party of the people’) MPs, with the notable exceptions of Raila Odinga and Musalia Mudavadi, would actually decide to ignore the people’s will and close ranks over the Waki report to defend the alleged criminal elite? Who would have believed PNU would be the party defending the will of the people and supporting implementation of the report?

PACK OF CROOKS
As for the so-called Grand Opposition, which its leaders piously told us was being formed to keep watch on behalf of the people — what a laugh! What total and utter humbug!
The Grand Opposition has fallen at the first fence, a staggering horse that never had the form to run. Its main proponents, now wearing their true colours, are among the most vocal against the Waki report and are supporting their fearful colleagues. The reason? They need to use this to fight their leaders, principally Raila Odinga, for their own political advantage. Who cares about people raped, sodomised, burnt alive, tortured and murdered? Who cares about children traumatised and scarred for life? Personal agenda is all!
It’s similar to the humbug about how bringing a dozen criminals, if indeed they are criminals, to justice would “tear the country apart”. Why should it? They are a dozen offenders, if they are offenders. We are tens of millions of offended. Leaders come and go, as they always have. If necessary, we can find others. A dozen people should not be allowed to hold a country to ransom.
Parliamentarians remind me of an ironical sign somewhere in the US during the recent election: “Tired of the same old crooks in Congress? Elect new crooks!” That is exactly what we’ve always done.
Kenyans have to learn there is nothing like a free lunch. There’s nothing like a free 50 bob, or a free 500 bob, or a free five million bob. Someone, somewhere, always has to pay. And the poorest Kenyans, the majority, will pay and pay and go on paying until they change what’s wrong with themselves, until they stand up for what’s right, until they refuse to accept what is wrong, until they stop allowing themselves to be used and bought, and until they leave aside tribalism (what did it bring you?) and elect proper leaders.
Kenyans need to wise up. Look at the furore nationwide here over Barack Obama.
But if Obama had been just the same intelligent, talented person, with the same parents, but if he were a Kenyan and not an American, and if he’d stood for election in Murang’a, he couldn’t even get elected as a councillor.

END IMPUNITY
It’s not just Murang’a, it’s the whole country that has this sorry approach to electing worthy people for the right reasons. And until Kenyans take a long, hard look at what’s wrong with their own behaviour, they can be sure their leaders will continue to take advantage of this to rape and pillage.
If we don’t wake up out of our apathy to do what we should and insist on holding leaders to account, we surely have no grounds on which to complain about the consequences.

Hi Guys,
The attached picture (Paras note: Not) and story in it is a true reality as to how the brits penetrated India. They brought in the story of the Aryans and they completely changed the way people thought in India. It is a fundamental truth that if you want to destroy somebody then destroy his inner most thoughts, feelings, his ego etc just brainwash the person. So many of us regard our culture and our language as inferior and regard the western culture as a much superior one.

India is one of the few countries in the worlds where so many aggressors from outside, the British, the mughals, Alexander the great etc etc, they have come and tried to change the Indians but very few have succeeded. The reason being is that the Indian foundation is mighty mighty strong. Look at Europe, Africa and the Americas, Muslim and Christian missionaries have been able to convert whole continents, why? Because the people there had very weak cultures.

Wake up people. We have a beautiful culture and Language. Be proud of who you are and be very proud of your LANGUAGE. Language holds the key to the culture. Forget the language and slowly by slowly start forgetting your culture.

Everywhere the English people have gone they have forced upon their language, they want you to learn and speak English but its never been the other way round. Guys wake up. As much as English has become a universal language and is a great tool to earn a living and learning it should be highly recommended to everyone DONT LOOSE YOUR OWN IDENTITY.

Keep your culture, Learn your culture and Speak your Language
Regards

Paras note: Picture text below.
LORD MACAULAY’S ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT 2 FEBRUARY, 1835
“I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief, such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.”
