1/n #SadarPranam to every Indian Marxist.
As we celebrated 203rd Birth Anniversary of #KarlMarx, I thought of bringing forth how lowly he thought of India while justifying British Rule upon us.
Read the thread.
2/n I'll first cite excerpts from "The British Rule in India" by Karl Marx published in the New-York Herald Tribune on June 25,1853.
Marx makes it very clear that he never believed in "Golden Past of India."
So, you get it where Marxist Historians have based their notions from.
3/n Karl Marx calls replacement of Hindu Spinner & Weaver's as semi-barbarian & semi civilized community.
He saw their removal by British as the only social revolution ever heard in Asia.
PS: Marx appeared highly racist
4/n Then Karl Marx goes on to humiliate Hindu beliefs of worshiping Hanuman, Cow & nature.
He hints that how British were eradicating these beliefs.
The great philosopher, Marx was so blinded by faith of Man being supreme, could not understand depth of nature worshiping.
5/n Further Marx states, "England, it is true, in causing a social revolution in Hindostan..."
He found it to be an important revolution to awake Asia & then quotes Goethe to romanticize, the India's plight.
