But, during the
last 200 years certain very disturbing events happened. It is worth understanding and takingserious note of this. There have been
hundreds of foreign invasions on India in the last several years, but no invader could
ever attack the vital core.
Some invaders looked for wealth, some occupied land, others
captured palaces and forts. But, none could touch the core (interiority) of India -
the attention of invaders was not drawn towards it.
Then for the first time attacks were made on this vital
core of India, on the interiority of India when the western civilization invaded India.
The easiest way to attack it was to disconnect the country
from its long history and to destroy the past.
A gap was created between the people and their history. In
this way people became uprooted and powerless.
Suddenly the learning by parampara was interrupted. The
flow was obstructed. |
