HUMANITY ON PAPER, ANIMALITY IN PRACTICE

HUMANITY ON PAPER, ANIMALITY IN PRACTICE

The West for all its clamour about liberal values and human rights cannot but keep up with its neocolonial agenda of violently controlling the weaker nations of the world. The horror of death by the tens of millions that USA alone has caused worldwide in the past hundred years leaves us to wonder as to what depths of hypocrisy can western high talk of civilisation sink. Needless to name, country after country has been destroyed by America following close upon the heels of British imperial dastardliness over the past few centuries, not to mention France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium and their like European siblings. Human rights? What is it save on paper? We in India have suffered no less at the hands of the British and we unthinkingly give in to buying this moralistic talk of the merciless West. Enough of civilising the uncivilised world. Now, civilise yourself.
