Why Karl Marx on castes in India, Noam Chomsky on Nandigram and Amartya Sen on Modi, were wrong?
Physicists
knew that the application of the laws of macro-Physics to micro-Physics (Quantum Physics) would lead to wrong results, while in the convergence region,
both of them have the link of joining- the higher limit of Micro-Physics &
the lower limit of Macro-Physics.(https://socratic.org/questions/how-does-quantum-mechanics-differ-from-classical-mechanics
; ‘Our analysis shows that classical and quantum matter waves are distinguished
by two different choices of the dynamics of their amplitudes rather than two
values of Planck's constant.’; http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0031-8949/90/10/108009
& https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_limit
) Unaware of the changes in the world of atoms and molecules, & continuing
the pre-change perception w.r.t the objects consisting of those atoms and
molecules undergoing changes, may lead to wrong observations.
Physicists
will not fall into the trap of extending their skills of macro-level
observations, unaware of their limitations to the micro-level world of atoms
and molecules.
Like
the caution practiced by the Physicists living in the macro-physics related
world, while approaching a problem in micro-physics;
The
socio-physicists making observations at the macro-level, need to be cautious in
the observations at the micro-level. Failures in observing the caution may lead
to absurd observations. Unless one is familiar of the ground realities of the
society at the micro-level, such failures become inevitable.
For
example;
Divorced from the ground
level realities and relying on the media and books, even great scholars, would
make wrong observations and predictions on India. That was how Karl Marx predicted
that the railways and the modern industries would help in destroying castes, as
shown below.
“
The railway-system will therefore become, in India, truly the forerunner of
modern industry.------ Modern industry, resulting from the railway system, will
dissolve the hereditary divisions of labor, upon which rest the Indian castes,
those decisive impediments to Indian progress and Indian power.”

Karl
Marx on ‘The Future Results of British Rule in India’ in the New-York Semi-Weekly Tribune.
India,
at present, is mainly perceived by the anti-Hindutva scholars, as polarized
into pro-Hindutva & anti-Hindutva camps at the macro-level. Such misconceived
polarization helps to camouflage the actual multi-dimensional contradictions at
the micro-level.
Worse
will be the case of the great scholars with preconceived notions w.r.t India;
Misleading
them to make wrong observations as in the cases of Noam Chomsky and Amartya
Sen.
The
preconceived notion of the great scholar Noam Chomsky (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky
) with respect to the then leftist rule in West Bengal, misled him to the wrong
observation on the Nandigram struggle.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nandigram_violence
& https://mronline.org/2007/11/26/response-to-noam-chomsky-howard-zinn-et-al-on-nandigram/
) The people of the West Bengal, during
the later general elections, disproved the wrong observation of Noam
Chomsky, by dethroning the leftist
rule.
Like
Noam Chomsky, the prominent economist and the Nobel laureate Amartya Sen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amartya_Sen
) had commented before the parliamentary elections; "As an Indian
citizen I don't want Modi as my PM... He has not done enough to make minorities
feel safe,"
In
contradiction to the above statement by the scholar Amartya Sen, living abroad, Maulana Mahmood Madani, general
secretary of Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, had revealed “There is a perceptible change
and circumstances are different now. Muslims in Gujarat are economically
better off than in several states which have so-called secular governments in power.
More innocent Muslims are in the prisons of Maharashtra than in Gujarat. The
human rights record of several states with secular governments in power is
deplorable and the economic situation of Muslims in West Bengal is shocking. These
states don’t have a Modi at the helm. We cannot ignore this ground reality,”
Subsequently
BJP won in the elections in Gujarat, even in the Muslim dominated
constituencies confirming the above statement.
India
is now in a transition phase in which a growing section including the
minorities and the youth are fed up with the negative hate divisive polarized politics
and aspire for a positive, inclusive, corruption – free, & development
oriented governance leading to a hopeful future.
Another
weakening sections consisting mainly middle aged and above, still live in the
past and try in vain to waste the present to settle the scores of the past. The
minorities belonging to this section are angry with those Muslims like Maulana
Mahmood Madani, for openly expressing their above mentioned support to Modi. Sad
that Amaratya Sen had identified himself with that weakening section through
his wrong observation.
From
pro-Hindutva & anti-Hindutva polarization, India is now in transition
towards pro-Swadeshi & anti-Swadeshi polarization.
Unaware of the changes in the micro-world of world
of atoms (ordinary people) and molecules (micro-level leaders) , &
continuing the pre-change perception (pro-Hindutva & anti-Hindutva polarization) w.r.t the objects consisting of those atoms
and molecules undergoing changes, may lead to wrong observations, ignorant of
post-change pro-Swadeshi & anti-Swadeshi polarization.
The people of West Bengal proved that Noam Chomsky was wrong on the Nandigram struggle. In the ensuing parliamentary elections, the people of India will prove that Amartya Sen was wrong on Modi.
The people of West Bengal proved that Noam Chomsky was wrong on the Nandigram struggle. In the ensuing parliamentary elections, the people of India will prove that Amartya Sen was wrong on Modi.
The above written before the parliamentary
elections, was validated by the subsequent results of the parliamentary
elections, selecting Modi, as the PM of India.
Anti-Hindutva ‘celebrities’ like Arundhati Roy need
to be aware of the pitfalls of the decaying polarization of pro-Hindutva &
anti-Hindutva.
Do thug leaders associated with separatists,
regional chauvinistic, Casteist, etc divisive movements, by posing themselves
as anti-Hindutva, succeed in securing support from anti-Hindutva ‘celebrities’
like Arundhati Roy? If true, will people
like Arundhati Roy, Amaratya
Sen & Noam Chomsky, wake up to
identify their failure w.r.t the ground realities of the society of India at
the micro-level, leading to their wrong observations at the macro-level of
India, due to their misconceived pro-Hindutva & anti-Hindutva polarization at the macro-level.
Other all India parties like Congress, etc relied
on their misconceived pro-Hindutva & anti-Hindutva polarization at the macro-level to oppose PM
Modi, and hence witnessed more and more alienation from the masses.
Also as the pro-Hindutva writer S.Gurumurthy, the
editor of Tamil weekly ‘thugLak’, had rightly observed, the fast weakening of
the Congress party, will not prove to be good in the interests of democracy. In
the interests democracy & to strengthen a right opposition to BJP, anti-Hindutva
scholars, need to distance themselves, from anti-Swadeshi forces with
camouflaged ‘Anti-Hindutva’ masks, and be familiar with the ground level
realities, & emerging new polarization- pro-Swadeshi & anti-Swadeshi
polarization.
Pro-Swadeshi
will strengthen a person and his/her country to preserve the diversity, in the
unity of the globalization.
Note:
1. . India’s film censors have ordered that a documentary about the economist and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen be altered to remove words including the 4 words “cow”, “Hindu India”, “Hindutva” & “Gujarat”, the director has said. (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/12/indian-film-censors-demand-removal-hindu-cow-film-nobel-amartya-sen ) If true,PM Modi need to rectify the unpardonable pitfall, in the functioning of the censor board. When AIADMK leader Jayalalitha replaced DMK leader Karunanidhi as TN CM after the previous assembly elections, the Tamil word & the picture for ‘sun’ – சூரியன், the symbol of DMK, were removed from the school text books all over in TN, by the officials of the education dept (like the above censor board officials), a great mockery witnessed by TN public.
2. I value the great contribution of Noam Chomsky to the modern linguistics. My research discovering 'Musical Phonetics in tholkAppiam' (The journal from the International Institute of Tamil Studies, Taramani, Chennai- 2013; http://www.ulakaththamizh.org/JOTSAArticle.aspx?id=223 ) revealing the universal music grammar for matching the lyrics in all syllabic languages with music;

in association with the current researches on
'Mathematics & Music' may lead to the realization of Chomsky’s prediction: "the rise of the new field of
mathematical linguistics, a field that submits to abstract study the class of
generative systems meeting the conditions set forth in universal grammar.";
which, in turn, will lead to developing
'unbelievable' applications, involving NLP (Natural Language Processing)
