>Arun, I think you are unduly cynical. Not everyone operates solely on profit. > Not unduly. The propaganda machine that is operating and obviously influencing public opinion in the most powerful nation in the world makes you wonder what the motives are for various political actions, or whether anything has changed in the last few centuries. >"On Liberty" wasn't written in India, China, or Africa, where such ideas have a very tenuous grip or are outright forbidden.> How can you say that equivalent ideas or practices were not prevalent in other cultures? Till 1750 China and India contributed a huge chunk of world's GDP and have supported huge populations. All the diversity and richness of Indian life and culture predates the British arrival. The Puritans (and other refugees) from Europe were trying to acquire Liberty from the monopoly churches there. So it had a special meaning to them. In "backward" India, there was the freedom to choose your religion. >Dalits in India are still not considered fully human [as far as I know].> Nobody in India even knows who Dalits are. Caste and community in India is very complex. The marxists in India are experimenting with their ideas by making such classifications. -Arun
