Castes Quotes - Page 4

• Every strategy for real social change - land reform, education, public health, the equitable distribution of natural resources ... - has been cleverly, cunningly, and consistently scuttled and rendered ineffectual by those castes and that class of people which has a stranglehold on the political process.

• Thinking of this University [Ambedkar University] today, we are reminded of Mahatma Gandhi because if there was anyone who fought for the weak in India, the first one to raise his voice for Scheduled Castes, that was Gandhiji. There were social workers before him but not any people who raised this matter in the political arena as he did.

• Generally speaking, an Indian university must regard itself as one of the living organs of national reconstruction. It must discover the best means of blending together both the spiritual and the material aspects of life. It must equip its alumni irrespective of caste, creed or sex, with individual fitness, not for its own sake, not for merely adorning varied occupations and professions, but in order to teach them how to merge their individuality in the common cause of advancing the progress and prosperity of their motherland and upholding the highest traditions of human civilisation.

• Mediocrity cherishes rules; as for me, I hate them; I feel for them and for every restriction, corporation, caste, hierarchy, level, herd, a loathing which fills my soul, and it is in this respect perhaps that I understand martyrdom.

• Give me the artist who breathes it like a native, and goes about his work in it as quietly as a common man goes about his ordinary business. Mozart did so; and that is why I like him. Even if I did not, I should pretend to; for a taste in his music is a mark of caste among musicians, and should be worn, like a tall hat, by the amateur who wishes to pass for a true Brahmin.

• Ojalá pudiéramos entender la palabra experto como expresión de una actitud mental que todos podemos adquirir y no como la recopilación de información por parte de una casta especial. ... Muchos de nosotros pedimos expertos porque, agudamente conscientes del lío en el que estamos metidos, queremos que alguien nos saque de él.

• Como única distinción de clase disponible en una democracia, el título universitario ha creado una sociedad de castas tan rígida como la de la antigua India. Condenando el elitismo y temiendo al mismo tiempo que nuestros hijos no se conviertan en miembros de la élite, los enviamos a la universidad, no para que aprendan, sino para que "sean" graduados universitarios, racionalizando nuestro esnobismo con el tópico de que la alta tecnología ha eliminado la necesidad del trabajo manual que secretamente despreciamos.

• El 'individualismo rudo' ha significado todo el 'individualismo' para los amos, mientras el pueblo es regimentado en una casta de esclavos para servir a un puñado de 'superhombres' egoístas. América es quizás el mejor representante de este tipo de individualismo, en cuyo nombre la tiranía política y la opresión social son defendidas y presentadas como virtudes; mientras que cada aspiración e intento del hombre por ganar libertad y oportunidad social para vivir es denunciado como 'antiamericano' y malvado en nombre de esa misma individualidad.

• Class certainly loomed large in Katrina's aftermath. Blacks of means escaped the tragedy; blacks without them suffered and died. In reality, it is how race and class interact that made the situation for the poor so horrible on the Gulf Coast. The rigid caste system that punishes poor blacks and other minorities also targets poor whites.

• Materialism has come to the rescue of India in a certain sense by throwing open the doors of life to everyone, by destroying the exclusive privileges of caste, by opening up to discussion the inestimable treasures which were hidden away in the hands of a very few who have even lost the use of them. Half has been stolen and lost; and the other half which remains is in the hands of men who, like dogs in the manger, do not eat themselves and will not allow others to do so.

• It [the State] has taken on a vast mass of new duties and responsibilities; it has spread out its powers until they penetrate to every act of the citizen, however secret; it has begun to throw around its operations the high dignity and impeccability of a State religion; its agents become a separate and superior caste, with authority to bind and loose, and their thumbs in every pot. But it still remains, as it was in the beginning, the common enemy of all well-disposed, industrious and decent men.

• No estoy a favor de las castas, ni de la separación de la hermandad de la humanidad, y viviría tan gustosamente entre los hombres blancos como entre los negros, si tuviera igual posesión y disfrute de privilegios, pero nunca me reconciliaré con vivir entre ellos sometido a su voluntad.

• Debido a lo costoso del sistema y a la competencia entre diversos grupos, la democracia necesita mucho dinero. Como consecuencia natural se convierte en esclava de la gran finanza internacional judía que la subyuga mediante subvenciones. De este modo, el destino de un pueblo queda en manos de una casta de banqueros.
