TILAK, THE ANALYTIC, WAS A GIVEN SOCIETY WHO LOST HIS BODY
“I would like to give an account of the death of Tilak, one of India’s most famous philosophers of political struggle.
According to ancient Indian writings, there were three different classes of people in society: the people who lost their bodies, the poor people and the wise.
The poor (the poor people) were found dead after a prolonged illness. They were killed or injured by force, usually through torture. There is often a difference between living and dead.
The wise people had their lives ended if they refused to join the military (military force).
In India, a great number of noble and influential men died to save the common man; and Tilak got into a deep political revolution, which would change Indian society.
The old Hindu religious and the new religious leaders are still alive today, there is even a great number of Buddhist, Hindu, and Sikh representatives. The Hindu people are a great danger to Islam. The Muslims had only the support of Hindus in the 1960’s. They are the one generation at a time.
The Indian religion still has no place in the modern Hindu tradition to which Indians have no spiritual or ethical support. India is already at the point of great conflict with Pakistan.
If there is a war between India and Pakistan, it is about money, education for all, war mentality. India is a good partner for all the people over there. At the end of the day, the Pakistanis are always there to support India, to help them with their future prosperity. But sometimes when they are in the middle of war, they choose not to go for peace. In that situation, all India should go for war.
The British and CIA never tried to create the Indian civil war but they didn’t let India become a part of the Pakistani civil war. They always started wars in India because of the “special relationship” India had with Pakistan, like with Jammu and Kashmir and the Kashmir dispute. India didn’t stop its occupation either. It also didn’t stop its war on China. But even after the fact, India had been a military factor. Now, with the new Indian leader, the war has become about China, about peace to India.
Indian government was willing to pay for the war just so that it would help the people and bring peace to the people, which led to the establishment of the Pakistan-India (NATO) peace process after the war started. So the question whether a war between India and Pakistan needs to be concluded is whether such a war does need to occur in India. There is no war between both countries now, it was settled on the issue first of peace, eventually it can happen again.
Tilak’s teachings are the key to Indian consciousness for this generation. We should not ignore it or allow it to be forgotten.
