Interpretations that I shall present here will be with a specified objective. Certain types
of facts can have wide range of interpretations. Here my interpretations will be from a very

Lifeblood of Hindu society through ages
Look at the following testimonies that may give you a totally opposite picture of what you
have been led to believe all along. These testimonies were carefully kept out of your view for
long, though they existed all along! You must read them and ask yourself a question:
Can the foundation of Hindu society be based on gross social injustice when “justice and truthfulness”
has been the lifeblood of the Hindu Society through the ages?
Here we have hard facts of undeniable authenticity, and of extraordinary consistency
Evidence # 1
Now, it is quite true that during the two thousand years which precede the time of Mahmoud of Ghazni, India has had but (*not) few foreign visitors, and few foreign critics; still it is extremely strange that whenever, either in Greek, or in Chinese, or in Persian, or in Arab writings, we meet any attempts at describing the distinguishing features in the national character of the Indians (*Hindus), regard for truth and justice should always be mentioned first.
INDIA what can it teach us? Friedrich Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 50
Commentary
Just find me any account of love for truthfulness and justice in the entire history of Christian societies. The condition is that you have to find it not from what they write about themselves but what others have written about them; the same way as I am presenting you the evidence not from what Hindus have written about themselves but what others have written about them.
Indian here refers only to the Hindus
The term ‘Indian’ refers to Hindus in all these statements and should not be confused unduly. Max Muller fills 37 pages with examples of Hindu Justice and Hindu love for Truth and he says that he can go on quoting many-many more. To top it, he has titled the chapter as Truthful Character of the Hindus in his book INDIA what can it teach us?
Ask yourself a question as you read the next evidence
• Do you think a society could have all along practiced gross social injustice towards its own people, a society whose “whole literature from one end to the other” is pervaded by expressions of love and reverence for truth?
Evidence # 2
I have left to the last of the witness who might otherwise have been suspected – I mean the Hindus themselves. The whole of their literature from one end to the other is pervaded by expressions of love and reverence for truth.
INDIA what can it teach us? Friedrich Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 59
Commentary
Look at the literature of the Christian societies and see how well the character of that society is reflected through their literature. If there has been any kind of gross social injustice towards humanity you do not have to look any where else, you will find it right there in the history of Christian societies only if you have studied them sufficiently well. However, if you base your notions on what they show you then I am sorry to say, you have to learn lot more about their deceptive character and deceitful nature1.

Evidence # 3
Ktesias, the famous Greek physician of Artaxerxes Mnemon (present at the battle of Cunaxa, 404 BC), the first Greek writer who tells us anything about the character of the Indians, such as he heard it described at the Persian court, has a special chapter “On the justice of the Indians (*Hindus)”.
Ktesiae Fragmenta (ed. Didot), p 81, quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 51 read with endnote 23 on p 230
Commentary
• Hindu Justice could not have been “exemplary” to the Greeks of 5th century BC if Hindu social structure was truly based on a system of gross social injustice towards the vast majority of its own people.
• This is nothing but plain logic and you do not need vast degree of intelligence to understand it. Nevertheless, let us proceed with (a) what other observers documented about the Hindu society over a period as large as two thousand and four hundred years and (b) witness the kind of consistency those documentations reflect at.
Evidence # 4
Megasthenes, the ambassador of Selucus Nicator at the court of Sandrocottus (*ChandrGupt) in Palibothra (PaataliPutr, the modern Patna), states that thefts were extremely rare, and they honored truth as virtue.
Indian Antiquary, 1876, p 333 Megasthenis Fragmenta (ed. Didot) in Fragm. Histor. Graec. Vol. ii. p 426, quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 51 read with endnote 25 on p 231
Megasthenes, for example, who visited the Maurya court at PaataliPutr in the 4th century BC, noted: “All Indians (*Hindus) are free, and none of them is a slave... Further, they respect alike virtue and truth...”
Megasthenes, quoted by Greek historians Arrian and Strabo; quoted in R C Majumdar, The Classical Accounts of India (Calcutta: Firma KLM, 1981) pp 224, 218, 270; quoted in The Invasion That Never Was, Michel Danino, ISBN 81-85137-59-5 [2001] p 15 read with endnote 1 p 147
Commentary
• Now tell me, how is it that Megasthenes documented in 4th century BC that “no Hindu was a slave” in a society that is supposed to have practiced gross social injustice in form of infamous Caste system?
Slavery and gross social injustice in one form or the other has been rampant in Christian societies, and those very people have been pointing finger at our Hindu society.
Evidence # 5
Arrian (in the 2nd century, the pupil of Epictetus), when speaking of the public overseers or superintendents in (*Hindu) India, says: “They oversee what goes on in the country or towns, and report everything to the king, where the people have a king, and to the magistrates, where the people are self-governed, and it is against use and wont for these to give in a false report; but indeed no Indian (*Hindu) is accused of lying”.
Indica, cap. xii. 6. McCrindle in Indian Antiquary, 1876, p 92; quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 51 read with endnotes 26, 27 on p 231
Commentary
The “Hindu self-governance” that Arrian spoke of in the 2nd century happened to be a superior form of peoples’ democracy as compared to the present day manipulative democracy predominantly driven by personal interests of those who claim to be the representatives of The People!
• When Greek Arrian spoke that “Hindus never lie” you need to understand first what kind of character is needed for that. If you are capable of visualizing the quality of that character then you will have no trace of doubt left that collectively such people could NOT have practiced for millenniums the so-called gravest social injustice on the face of this earth.
Evidence # 6
The Chinese, who come next in order of time, bear the same, believe, unanimous testimony in favor of the honesty and veracity (*truthfulness) of the Hindus. Let me quote Hiouen-thsang, the most famous of the Chinese Buddhist pilgrims, who visited India in 7th century. “Though the Indians (*Hindus),” he writes, “are of a light temperament, they are distinguished by the straightforwardness and honesty of their character. With regard to riches, they never take anything unjustly; with regard to justice, they make even excessive concession… Straightforwardness is the distinguishing feature of their administration”.
INDIA what can it teach us? Friedrich Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 51
Commentary
How is it that a society, accused of practicing gross social injustice towards its own people, has been praised by Hiouen-thsang in the 7th century putting it on record “with regard to justice, Hindus make even excessive concessions”?
• Think for a moment about the people who “never grabbed anything unjustly” from other peoples’ wealth -- would they have practiced gross social injustice towards their very own people by robbing them of basic human rights?
• And again, think, people who made “excessive concessions with regard to justice” would they have practiced gross social injustice towards a very large section of their own people by robbing them of their very self-respect?
• There is something that remains unexplained, and we will try to explore that in adequate detail, but later through this work (and other works) as we proceed. First we need to demolish the very structure which has been carefully built over a bundle of lies with a very specific agenda in mind.
Only one of these can be true, not both, and at the same time
You must realize one thing clearly: if you mix light and darkness together they can never coexist. The light will dispel darkness or the darkness will engulf the light.
They can coexist only in small measures together. For instance, throughout darkness there can be one lamp giving little bit of light. Or, in an array of light there may a small corner where darkness prevails because light does not penetrate there.
But it is not possible that abundance of light and immense magnitude of darkness can stay together at one place. It is simply not possible.
• Much the same such abundance of love for truth and justice and such immense magnitude of social injustice as depicted through Caste system could not have stayed together. Only one of them could be true not both simultaneously.
Evidence # 7
If we turn to the accounts given by the Mohammedan conquerors of India, we find Idrisi, in his Geography (written in the 11th century), summing up their opinion of the Indians in the following words: “The Indians are naturally inclined to justice, and never depart from it in their actions. Their good faith, honesty, and fidelity to their engagements are well known, and they are so famous for these qualities that people flock to their country from every side”.
Elliot, History of India, vol. i. p 88; quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 014-100437-1 [2000] pp 51-52 read with endnote 30 on p 231
Commentary
• Once again, it has been said by Idrisi in the 11th century that “Hindus are naturally inclined to justice and never depart from it in their actions”. How then, could they have allowed social injustice of the kind that they were accused of by Christian educators and Communist educators?
Ever wonder if they were educators by profession or professional liars? What was their objective? Did they want Hindu children to get cutoff from their main stream religious and cultural base and begin to look for alternative with (a) Christianity in ChristianBritish days and (b) with Communism/Marxism in so-called post-independence days?
Evidence # 8
In the 13th century we have the testimony of Marco Polo, who thus speaks of Abraiaman, a name by which he seems to mean the Braahmans who, though not traders by profession, might have been employed for great commercial transactions by the king. This was particularly the case during times which the Braahmans would call times of distress, when many things were allowed which at other times were forbidden by the laws. “You must know,” Marco Polo, says, “that these Abraiaman are the best merchants in the world, and the most truthful, for they would not tell a lie for anything on earth”.
Marco Polo, ed. H Yule, vol. ii. p 350, as quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 52 read with endnote 32 on p 231
Purposefully Tarnished Image of Braahmans
• Here you see Marco Polo in the 13th century describing “Braahmans as the most truthful for they would not tell a lie for anything on earth”.
And, those very same Braahmans have been accused of all kinds
of social improprieties and were termed as most wicked among the Hindus!
Now ask yourself, who have been lying all along? These people from different origins, from different
centuries, who came and visited the Hindus, and arrived at invariably the same conclusion? Or,
Christian missionaries cum educators who had the hidden agenda to convert Hindus into Christianity
by hook or crook? Or, CommunistMarxist historians of AMU and JNU who had a hidden agenda to
spread their wings so they could keep their illegitimately acquired hold over Hindu society?
All fraudsters have a brotherhood kind of feeling and they support each other. This is what
these Christians and Communists had been doing but simpleton Hindus did not see through their
foul play. Wake up my Hindu nation and try to understand their game plan2.
On the other hand, only three centuries later, the Saint of Christianity named Francis Xavier of 16th century (we will soon see what other people of 16th century have to say) calls Hindu Braahmans as perverse, wicked and crafty men and terms all Hindus as unholy race. Such happens to be the character of a Saint of Christianity. So, you can well imagine what would be the character of the lesser ones than a Saint.
Xavier wrote in another letter to the Society of Jesus, “There are in these parts among the pagans a class of men called Braahmans. They are as perverse and wicked a set as can anywhere be found, and to whom applies the Psalm, which says: ‘From an unholy race, and wicked and crafty men, deliver me, Lord.’’ Xavier wrote in another letter to the Society of Jesus: “If it were not for the Braahmans, we should have all the heathens embracing our faith”.
Francis Xavier: The Man and his Mission by Sita Ram Goel 1985, as quoted in The Myth of Saint Thomas and the Mylapore Shiva Temple Ishwar Sharan ISBN 81-85990-21-2 [1995] p 80
When their ulterior motives are not otherwise fulfilled, they resort to tarnishing the image of others, and in doing so they reveal their own ‘wicked and crafty nature’. The same applies to the ChristianEnglish educated ChristianizedHindus, and CommunistMarxist thinkers who adopted such questionable methods to raise their own social status by fraudulently reducing others.
And, on that premise they built their imaginary theory of so-called Oppressive Braahmanism so that they could discredit the Braahmans, and occupy their coveted position in the Hindu society of which these characters were not worthy of.
Using (rather abusing) their hold over administrative machinery and educational system, they filled Hindu children’s minds with the filth that the Braahmans practiced much despised caste system and untouchability to retain their own superiority and their hold over Hindu society. In the process, they not only tarnished the image of Braahmans in Hindu society, but effectively persecuted Hinduism itself on a much wider scale. Their motive was simple: convert the Hindus into Christians. Communists followed the lead and used the same technique. Their motive was equally simple: convert the Hindus into Communists/Marxists.

Evidence # 9
Again in the 13th century, Shems-ed din Abu Abdallah quotes the following judgment of Bedi Ezr Zenan: “The Indians are innumerable, like grains of sand, free from all deceit and violence. They fear neither death nor life.”
Manuel de la Cosmographie du moyen age, traduction de Shems-ed-din Abou Abdallah de Damas, Mehren Paris, Leroux, 1874, p 391

Commentary
Bedi Ezr Zenan in the 13th century spoke of “Hindus Free of all deceit and violence”. But Hindu Braahmans have been accused by Christians and Communists for deceit, and violence in form of gross social injustice!
Tarnished Image of Braahmans
The foundation on which the Christians and the Communists built their propaganda was the imaginary theory of Aryan Invasion3 and establishment of so-called (imaginary) oppressive Braahmanism. This in itself was a fraud against humanity, and deceit of high order. This crooked theory has caused immense harm to the humanity. This topic would require a separate book on its own merit.

In the 14th century we have Friar Jordanus, who goes out of his way to tell us that the people of Lesser India (South and Western) are true in speech and eminent in justice.”

Commentary
• Friar Jordanus in the 14th century speaks of “Hindus True in Speech and Eminent in Justice”. But same Hindus are accused of gross social injustice by our Christian educators and Marxist intellectuals.
Must you continue to respect these liars who committed social fraud4 on you? Ask Hindus, ask yourself. Don’t you owe at least, that much to yourself? How long do you want to live under the spell of these crooks who taught you nothing but lie and called themselves as educators and intellectuals?

Evidence # 11
In the 16th century, Abul Fazl, the minister of the Emperor Akbar, says in his Aayine Akbari: “The Hindus are religious, affable, cheerful, lovers of justice, given to retirement, able in business, admirers of truth, grateful and of unbounded fidelity; and their soldiers know not what it is to fly from the field of battle.”
Samuel Johnson, India, p 294 as quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 52 read with endnote 35 on p 231
Commentary
Akbar’s Muslim Minister Abul Fazl in the 16th century spoke of “Hindu Justice, Truthfulness, and never fly from the battlefield type of character”. And, what these Christian missionary educators have taught you all along, that, Hindus were so much divided all the time that they could not face the Muslims.
• Besides, lowering your self-esteem what else have they given you? Have they given you the knowledge that has benefited you, or have they cheated on you while maintaining a poker face all the while?
Evidence # 12
Max Muller wrote: “So I could go on quoting from book after book, and again and again we should see how it was the love of truth that struck all the people who came in contact with India, as the prominent feature in the national character of its inhabitants. No one ever accused them of falsehood. There must surely be some ground for this, for it is not a remark that is frequently made by travelers in foreign countries, even in our time, that their inhabitants invariably speak the truth. Read the accounts of English travelers in France, and you will find very little said about French honesty and veracity, while French accounts of England are seldom without a fling at Perfide Albion!”
INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller ISBN 0-14-100437-1 p 53
Commentary
Max Muller compares “legendary Hindu honesty with English and French, and finds it superior to the Europeans”. He also mentioned that he can go on quoting book after book and you will find that “no one ever accused Hindus of falsehood”.
• Think, my dear fellows, think, can the Truthfulness of this magnitude survive in a society allegedly ridden with social injustice? Or, the allegation itself has been fraudulent, and a fabrication with ulterior motive?
• We have dealt with those motives, in detail, in our other books5. You will see from historical evidence that historical frauds have been so common with Christianity from its very inception that it has become the second nature of Christianity5 as a religion and those people who practice it.
Evidence incidental to the main theme
Warren Hastings thus spoke of Hindus in general: “They are gentle and benevolent, more susceptible of gratitude for kindness shown to them, and less prompted to vengeance for wrongs inflicted than any people on the face of the earth; faithful, affectionate, submissive to legal authority.”
INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller ISBN 0-14-100437-1 p 56
Commentary
Warren Hastings [First Governor General of ChristianBritish India 1774-1784] spoke of the “Hindus as less prompted to Vengeance for Wrong Inflicted than any people on the face of the earth”.
This is probably the reason that Hindus continue to tolerate these fraudsters, who have perpetrated social fraud of such magnitude that they have destroyed a great civilization that lasted thousands of years until these crooks arrived on the scene. Expect me not to use better adjectives for them. They should be identified as they have been, and as they are.
Evidence incidental to the main theme
Bishop Heber said “The Hindus are brave, courteous, intelligent, most eager for knowledge and improvement; sober, industrious, dutiful to parents, affectionate to their children, uniformly gentle and patient, and more easily affected by kindness and attention to their wants and feelings than any people I ever met with”.

The Hindus are mild and gentle people, more merciful to prisoners than any other Asiatics. Their freedom from gross debauchery is the point in which they appear to most advantage; and their superiority in purity of manners is not flattering to our self-esteem.

• People who are merciful and who live a life of purity, they do not indulge into the kind of gross social injustice they have been accused of, by Christian educators and Marxist educators.
Evidence incidental to the main theme
Sir Thomas Munro bears even stronger testimony. He writes: “If a good system of agriculture, unrivalled manufacturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to either convenience or luxury, schools established in every village for teaching, reading, writing, and arithmetic, the general practice of hospitality and charity amongst each other, and above all, a treatment of the female sex full of confidence, respect, and delicacy, are among the signs which denote a civilized people – then the Hindus are not inferior to the nations of Europe, and if civilization is to become an article of trade between England and India, I am convinced that England will gain by the import cargo.”
Sir Thomas Munro, Mill’s History, vol. i. p. 371, quoted in INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller, ISBN 0-14-100437-1 [2000] p 57 read with endnote 42 on p 231
Commentary
Sir Thomas Munro, the eminent Governor of Madras Presidency, spoke that “Hindus were not inferior to the nations of Europe and he was convinced that England had more to gain if Civilization became an article for trade between India and England”.
• Do you think Sir Thomas Munro would have said something like this if our Hindu society was ridden with social injustice of the kind these Christian and Marxist educators have told us, and also told the rest of the world? We are speaking of not very olden days; we are speaking of British Raaj days which ended less than 65 years ago.
Evidence # 14
Max Muller continued: I knew the late Professor Wilson, our Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford, for many years, and often listened with deep interest to his reminiscences. Let me read you what he, Professor Wilson, says of his native friends, associates, and servants: ‘I lived, both from necessity and choice, very much amongst the Hindus, and had opportunities of becoming acquainted with them in a greater variety of situations than those in which they usually come under the observation of Europeans. In the Calcutta mint, for instance, I was in daily personal communication with a numerous body of artificers, mechanics, and laborers, and always found amongst them cheerful and unwearied industry, good-humored compliance with the will of their superiors, and a readiness to make whatever exertions were demanded from them: there was among them no drunkenness, no disorderly conduct, no insubordination. It would not be true to say that there was no dishonesty, but it was comparatively rare, invariably petty, and much less formidable than, I believe, it is necessary to guard against in other mints in other countries. There was considerable skill and ready docility. So far from there being any servility, there was extreme frankness, and I should say that where there is confidence without fear, frankness is one of the most universal features in the Indian character. Let the people feel sure of the temper and goodwill of their superiors, and there is an end of reserve and timidity, without the slightest departure from respect…’
INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller ISBN 0-14-100437-1 pp 37-38
Commentary
• Prof Wilson spoke of “Hindu Honesty at Calcutta Mint superior to mints in other countries”. Do you think that a society, which cannot have any social justice within its own social framework, can be made of people, commonly so very honest, as indicated here?
Evidence # 15
Then, speaking of much-abused Indian Pundits, he says: ‘The studies which engaged my leisure brought me into connection with the men of learning, and in them I found the similar merits of industry, intelligence, cheerfulness, frankness, with others peculiar to their avocation. A very common characteristic of these men and of the Hindus especially, was simplicity truly childish, and a total unacquaintance with the business and manners of life. Where that feature was lost, it was chiefly by those who had been long familiar with Europeans. Amongst the Pundits, or the learned Hindus, there prevailed great ignorance and great dread of the European character. There is indeed, very little intercourse between any class of Europeans and Hindu scholars, and it is not wonderful, therefore, that mutual misapprehension should prevail.’
INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller ISBN 0-14-100437-1 pp 38-39
Tarnished Image of Braahmans
• Prof Wilson spoke of Braahman Simplicity truly Childish. Do you think that these Braahmans could have been credited with such childish simplicity if they happened to be such dirty people, who were alleged to have created this treacherous Caste system for their own benefit?
• Prof Wilson further clarifies that wherever “that truly childish simplicity” was lost it was on account of their long association with the Europeans. So you see what a bad company can do to anyone!
The products of such bad company were Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru, Pundit Sunder Lal, M N Roy, and many such celebrities. How they worked towards destroying Hindu heritage is something you need to read in my other works6.
• In the 13th century Italian Marco Polo had given testimony that Hindu
Braahmans were most truthful and they would not tell a lie for anything on this earth. Three
centuries later in the 16th century Spanish Christian Saint calls the Braahmans as perverse,
wicked and crafty. Three centuries further down the line, in the 19th century British Prof Wilson
testifies the childlike simplicity of Hindu Braahmans.
Xavier could not convert all Hindus into Christianity. His ulterior motive was hurt. So, he
painted Braahmans in such bad light. His successors did the same thing.
Xavier wrote in another letter to the Society of Jesus: “If it were not for the Braahmans, we should have all the heathens embracing our faith”.

• Later day missionary educated ChristianizedHindus parroted what their teachers had taught them. Realize that you have learned the falsehood from your Christian educators and you have spread that falsehood further through television serials, movies, newspapers, etc. Now you must stop and reverse that process, for which you too are responsible to a good extent but only as the pawns in the hands of those master conspirators, who fooled you and cheated you all along. If any one is to be despised, it is not Braahmans but these cheats called Christian educators and CommunistMarxist educators.

Colonel Sleeman saw India, where alone the true India can be seen, namely, in the village-communities… In their PanchAayats [village self-governance], Sleeman tells us, “men adhere habitually and religiously to the truth”, and “I have had before me hundreds of cases,” he says, “in which a man’s property, liberty, and life depended upon his telling a lie, and he has refused to tell it.”
Max Muller wrote: “Could many an English judge say the same?”

Commentary
Please take a special note of the year in which those observations were documented in writing by Colonel Sleeman. It was 1835-36 during which he had been writing his personal observations in letters to his sister who lived in England. You will see its relevance later in this work where I shall briefly explain how things changed so drastically after about 1850?
Colonel Sleeman has put on records that he had before him hundreds of cases, in which a man’s property, liberty, and life depended upon his telling a lie, and he refused to tell it. Max Muller then asks: Can many an English judge say the same?
• Could our so-called wretched Caste system and a socially unjust society
have produced such truthful Hindus incomparable elsewhere?
• Do you realize the significance of Max Muller’s this particular sentence: Can many an English
judge say the same? By deductive logic, if the outcome was so great, then the foundation also
had to be equally great. And, that foundation was the 4-Varn System.
• People with vested interest speak against it. People of ignorance keep parroting the same.
Today, if we do not see any trace of such legendary truthfulness among the Hindus, it is because
these Hindus have become ChristianizedHindus, under the very bad influence of six generations
of ChristianEnglish Education System, a topic that I have dealt with in great detail in my other
works.
Evidence # 17
Max Muller continues: “Now, it is quite true that during the two thousand years which precede the time of Mahmoud of Ghazni, India has had but (*not) few foreign visitors, and few foreign critics; still it is extremely strange that whenever, either in Greek, or in Chinese, or in Persian, or in Arab writings, we meet any attempts at describing the distinguishing features in the national character of the Indians (*Hindus), regard for truth and justice should always be mentioned first.”
INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller ISBN 0-14-100437-1 p 50
Commentary
• Max Muller says that for past two thousand years Greeks, Chinese,
Persian, Arabs, all described the “most distinguishing feature of Hindu society as its regard
for truth and justice”, but for two hundred years ChristianEnglish education system taught Hindus
that the most distinguishing feature of Hindu society was its social injustice in form of 4-Varn
System, which they renamed as Caste system.
• Were these Christian educationists lying all along? Was their lie part of a much bigger conspiracy
against Hindu society? Was it to bleed Hindu society to death?
• Again please notice what he says “we meet any attempts at describing the distinguishing features
in the national character of the Hindus, regard for truth and justice should always be mentioned
first”. Those who accuse Hindu society of gross social injustice in the name of Caste system,
let them explain how all these people could have witnessed such high regard for Justice?

Max Muller wrote: “Let me add that I have been repeatedly told by English merchants that commercial honor stands higher in India than in any other country, and that a dishonored bill is hardly known there”.
INDIA what can it teach us? Max Muller ISBN 0-14-100437-1 p 58
Commentary
• 19th-century English Merchants spoke that “commercial Honor stood
higher in India than in any other country”. Why we do not see any evidence of it today? Is it
because Christian educators have completely ruined the sense of ethics amongst Hindus?
• Educators, who themselves posses no ethics, what else can they pass on to their pupil? If
they themselves were not truthful, and their sole purpose behind replacing ancient Hindu education
system was to break the backbone of Hindu society, then how could you expect to learn anything
about justice from them?
• You must understand this basic fact: if the foundation is based on fraud, its outcome will
also be fraud. In this context, ChristianEnglish education system’s foundation was based on
fraud against Hindu society. Their purpose was ignoble. Their intentions were conspiratorial.
There was simply no regard for truth and justice in their belief system.
• Therefore, they produced crops like themselves. Students of their education system, through
next six generations, gradually continued to become fraudulent like their teachers. They lost
regard for truth and justice that happened to be cherished Ethos of Hindu society until two
centuries ago!
If you wish to know how Christianity manages that wonderful task, you need to learn more about Christianity and its hidden character, and for that you have to refer to my work Christianity in a different Light and subsequent works.
Evidence # 18
Max Muller wrote: “I have left to the last of the witness who might otherwise have been suspected – I mean the Hindus themselves. The whole of their literature from one end to the other is pervaded by expressions of love and reverence for truth.
I doubt whether in any other of the ancient literatures of the world you will find traces of that extreme sensitiveness of conscience which despairs of our ever speaking the truth, and which declares silence as gold, and speech silver, though in a much higher sense than our proverb.”

• Now, ask yourself a question. Here stood Hindu society which practiced
truth and justice by thought, speech and action for thousands of years, and with consistency.
Could there have existed, unnoticed by all concerned, the gross social injustice of such magnitude
in form of the infamous Caste system?
• Was it the brainchild of those conspirators, who converted into reality of today, something
that was nonexistent in the days of which they spoke of?
Evidence incidental to the main theme
Max Muller wrote: “If you approach the Hindus with such feelings, you will teach them neither rectitude, nor science, nor literature. Nay, they might appeal to their own literature, even to their law-books, to teach us at least one lesson of truthfulness, truthfulness to ourselves, or, in other words, - humility.”

Commentary
Max Muller writes, “Hindus may teach us at least one lesson of truthfulness, that is, truthfulness to ourselves”.
What did Christian educators do? Instead of learning that truthfulness from Hindus, they destroyed the truthfulness of the Hindus. This is what you acquire from an Aasuric culture like Christianity. They have destroyed your sense of ethics, justice, truthfulness all that you ever valued.
• If it was all so good for 24 centuries continuously, as documented in the testimonies by non-Hindu visitors to this Hindu land, then what went wrong in less than two centuries?
The answer is simple. Keeping all factors constant, the only variable on the scene is the presence of Aasuric influence of Christianity, which has eclipsed the Hindu society.
Braahmans were Poorest of all
It generally takes longer to build than dismantle! Not for centuries, but for millenniums, Braahmans played the exemplary role. They themselves lived as the poorest of the lot but raised rich morals among the rest in the society. And, ample evidence of such rich morals, as documented by many-many foreign visitors to this Hindu land over more than two millenniums, you have already seen.
Do you remember the legendry poor DronAachaarya who could not buy milk for his only child Ashwatthaama? Do you remember poor Sudaama who could only carry few grams when he went to meet his childhood friend Shri Krishn?
Do you remember the stories that you read during your childhood? Whenever the central figure of the story happened to be a Braahman, did those stories not begin as “Once upon a time there was a poor Braahman”. Can you remember any story “Once upon a time there was a rich Braahman”? Well, I would not be surprised if you manage to find me one of them created during past fifty odd years by one of those MarxistCommunist intellectual professors of JNU who have mastered the technique of fabricating history in connivance with their bedfellow AMU professors. You will find enough evidence of such historical fabrications in my other work Ayodhya Shri Raam Mandir - Facts that did not reach you all.
