The Wretched Of The Earth..........

We are the colonized world.....we have always been....

In the words of Jean Paul Satre-"In the colonies the truth stood naked,but the citizens of the mother country preferred it with clothes on.The native had to love them,something in the way mothers are loved.The European elite undertook to manufacture a native elite.They picked out promising adolescents;branded them with the principles of western culture;stuffed their mouths full with high soundung phrases,grand glutinous words.And after spending a short stay in the mother country they were sent home,whitewashed."

If violence began this very evening and if exploitation and oppression had never existed on earth,perhaps the slogans of non-violence might end in quarrel.......But if the whole regime,even your non-violent ideas are conditioned by a hundred year old oppression,your passivity serves only to place you in the rank of the oppressors.....

The world that seems to be in a chase of Globalization should know that this is not a new phenomenon....it has existed...and flourished for hundreds and thousands of years.....and unfortunately continues to be used as tool by the Imperialist countries for their own growth.....It has not only opened the world to our country...but has also opened the doors of cheep labour, flourishing markets and colonized consumers to the entire world.....The 'developing' world will never be 'developed'....not till the strings of development lies in the hands of the 'white world'.


Arent we colonized if we refuse to speak our own language?What about countries like cuba?.......Eva met a native on Cuban streets....He'll refuse to speak to you in English........Believe it or not....Cuba remains to be one place where no government hospital has beeen shut down,no schools have been closed....women share their representation in the administrative process,are employed and educated.........

Arent we colonized when in a B.P.O,Dinesh becomes Danny sounding like a man from texas who was run over by a truck with too much food in his mouth.....

Arent we colonized when we show off our lacoste and nike....with thousands of hanldloom workers unemployed.....'Khadi' by the way....is an expensive brand sold at exorbitant prices,catering to the 'white collar' class....

National Liberation,national renaissance,the restoration of nationhood to the people,commonwealth;whatever may be the headings used or the new formuls introduced,decolonization is always a violent phenomenon.....the settler is right when he speaks of knowing 'them' well.For it's the settler who has brought the native into existence.The settler owes the fact of his very existence,that is to say,his property,to the colonial system.....The cause is the consequence;you are rich coz you are white,you are white coz you are rich............

On the other side of the ocean....there was a race of less than humans who,thanks to us,might reach our status a 1000 years hence........when one day our human kind becomes full grown....its not defined as the sum total of the whole world's inhabitants.......but as the infinite unity of their mutual needs.....
