(4)EVERY INDIAN SHOULD KNOW THIS MESSAGE OF LORD McCAULEY
Lord McCauley’s speech in British Parliament on 2nd February, 1835 for converting India to a land suitable for them to rule and make Indians the British slaves : “I have traveled the length and breadth of India and there 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 caliber, 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”

LET US BREAK THE CLUTCHES PUT ON US BY THE FOREIGN RULERS !
Dhanyathman:- Until 1947 Aug. 15th the foreign rulers of this country destroyed our culture and heritage. After 1947 Aug 15th our own rulers are destroying our self- respect and glorious culture national values. Even after 60 years of independence, the 1080 million Indians are ignorant about India and Indian heritage. They are even ignorant that they are ignorant about India. We do not have any shame to belittle and denigrate our country and culture. We, even make fun of our values, heritage, culture and laugh on ourselves. We support others when they denigrate and make fun of ourselves. Some of our thinkers, intellectuals, rulers, politicians and scientists are continue to play the cruel role in these negative activities. Some of the politicians reap by dividing us, like the British rulers did. Both the foreign and Indian rulers were/are successful in the heinous activities. We always talk about values and value based education !Can we import them ? If yes, from where can we import these values ? Do you think that they are available for importing as capsules ? Look into the progress made by Japan ! A country which got resurrected from the ashes after two atom bomb explosions! How could they achieve this great position in the world .Each and every Japanese child took the pledge that he/she will build a modern Japan from the ashes using science and technology, without killing their great heritage, culture and values. The patriotism and nationalism were their roads for progress, value based life was their driving force, perfect unity was their vehicle, dedication and punctuality were their qualifications, glory of their motherland was their ultimate destination. The land of volcanoes achieved what they wanted to achieve. Now, the world is saluting Japan for their quality and efficiency. Can we not follow them ? Better late than never! We may be Christians, Muslims, Hindus, atheists, leftists, rightists or middlistists… If there is a will and sound patriotism nothing else is important. We are Indians that is important. Let us take the inspiration from India . We, THE INDIAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE, are undertaking a great mission of spreading the modern and ancient Indian message through INDIA SIXTY VISION AND MISSION to 100 million people within a period of two years from 2006 Aug.15th to 2008 Aug. 15th in connection with the SHASHTYABDAPOORTI of Indian independence which falls on 2007 Aug.15th. Let us all together build a proud India by inculcating self respect and patriotism in our mind. As our President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam put the mission, let us all focus our karma and dharma towards taking our maathru bhoomi, karma bhoomi, jnaana bhoomi, yajna bhoomi to vikasitha dharma bhoomi by 2020 or before that.

(5) Dear spiritual leaders !
• World over people are trying to integrate the spirituality and science. You also have a great role in this mission.
• Keep the spiritual centers and centers of worship clean and neat. Cleanliness is equal to godliness. Never make it a cinema theatre complex for cinema shows, cinematic dances, pope music, mimics, culture less dramas and so on
• Spiritual centres should be peaceful and calm. Do not pollute the environment with sound, smoke through crackers .
• Let there be no extravaganza and luxury in the name of gods during festivals. Do not convert them like market places for drunkards, smokers and drug addicts.
• Annadaana given as the prasadam should reach the poor, hungry and deserving people.
• The center should be free from politics. Keep the purity of the premises with pancha suddhi of the body, mind, (ahaara) food, vaak (conversations) and karma.
• The spiritual center should not become a butcher houses for sacrificing goats, buffaloes, doves, chicken, ducks, camels, in the name of gods. Protecting and nurturing all living beings are the great dharma (ahimsa paramo dharma) and greatest sin is killing them..
• Hindu, Christian, Muslim and all others with pancha suddhi should be permitted to enter and worship and there should not be any discrimination .

(6) Dear intellectuals !
• True intellectuals are the guiding force of any nation. The intellectuals should not get guided by selfish motives like position, publicity, name, fame and money.
• Your knowledge and wisdom be a marking force for guiding the Indians through the dhaarmic pathway.
• Do not think that you your knowledge can solve all the problems of our nation and let you not get addicted to liquor and political influences.
• Do not get intoxicated with the social respect and support of power you are getting . Do not become pseudo intellectuals and do not act as you are an intellectual ( if you are really not).

(7) Dear Government Servants !
• You know that the rulers are not permanent in a democratic system. They may come and go so are the leaders and their followers. Some times you may be compelled to do something bad. Do your best to keep ethics and dharma in every situation and activity.
• Whatever may be the negatives and positives you are facing serve the deserving people without the influence of caste, religion, financial and political status.
• Do not get addicted to or influenced by bribes, liquor and immoral activities.

(8) Dear media friends !

• Do not create inferiority complex in the readers and viewers by making fun of our culture, heritage and traditions.
• Present the news and commentaries with an impartial and unbiased analytical caliber aiming at all round corrective measures keeping the ethical standards.
• Never support the terrorism and antinational activities. Keep the rulers and public informed about the antisocial and antinational activities..
• Expose those who are exploiting the religion- caste – politics and irrelevant narrow issues. You should not support antisocial activities for improving your circulation and viewership.
• Your pen and camera should move for the poor, needy, helpless, supportless, grieving people for solving their problems.
• Communicate all good and valuable messages to the people. Let your dhaarmic courage never get diluted. Let each and everyone of you become the corrective/ guiding force for the policy makers and rulers.
• You should remember that the foreign media depend mainly on you for reporting all that what are happening in India. Anything denigrating India will be reproduced there. Millions of people will get the messages about India which should elevate and depress our image in the national and international level.
• You should keep a powerful ethical standard and always stick to that. Media plays the greatest role in maintaining law and order situation of any country.
• Media persons of the developed countries are highly matured. Let us follow their ethical code also and attain maturity is hearing, seeing, writing and reporting.

(9) Dear elected parliamentarians !
• You are elected by the citizens of India and you are indebted to each and everyone in this country. You are the representative of every Indian and your activities should aim at the upliftment of India.
• Do not discriminate people in the name of caste, religion and political outlook. Never try to get focus by media by doing malpractices. Create a clean image in the mind of millions of people by doing good to them and country.
• Let you give a powerful guidance for building a modern India on the sound heritage knowledge and strong scientific and technological foundations.
• Guide the rulers to implement in our country also, the good policies successfully experimented anywhere in the world, with required modifications to suit us.
• Your words and deeds should never denigrate India and the status of Indians. Your image should not get tarnished by involving in bribes, frauds, immoral activities. A politician should never become an embodiment of evils.
• Remember that some of the policies and decisions can even ruin our country. Judge, prior to implementing, any reforms and policies. India and Indians should not suffer by your policy and decisions.
• Never follow the divide and rule policy. We have suffered ( and suffering ) a lot by following that ugly policy for the last six decades. Never exploit religion, caste, politics, regional, linguistic and minority/majority issues .for your selfish motives and achievements.

(10) Dear citizens of India, dear brothers and sisters !
• We have to remember that India is going to celebrate the 60th year of independence. But we are ignorant about our country and our glorious heritage.
• From hereafter, let us go through a different pathway, to understand all about India and let each of us become a proud Indian.
• We should take every useful knowledge- the spiritual, scientific, technological, social, anthropological or basic knowledge- from anywhere in the world and adopt with suitable refinement. Our ultimate aim should be the progress of our country . We are still following the crude policies, slogans, theories designed by the foreigners. Their ultimate aim was dividing Indians for their benefits.
• Remember the Aryan Invasion, Arya -Dravida war, Aryan - Dravidian languages, Aadivasies - Dalits, the caste by birth system, theories are all put forth by British for proving that Indians are also invaders like the British invaders. The ultimate aim of these theories has clearly been stated by Lord Mc Caulay (British Parliament speech on 2nd Feb. 1835 “..unless we break the backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient educational 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…..”
• Try to understand the true history of India and learn the good and bad from the history . Never do anything further which may negatively affect our culture .
• Never denigrate our heritage in the name of atheism, radicalism, regionalism, religious and political motives. Do not justify the criminal and antinational activities.
