How MNCs are fooling Indians
This article follows MP Shashi Tharoor’s speech at Oxford on British colonial rule demanding reparations from GB
When East India Company came to India and saw , they gaped and yawned us at our cultural richness, life style,. Education , knowledge and everything
Then Macaulay ( father of present useless education system in India , ) is said and believed to have told Britain if we want to colonise India and be victorious in it , we have to change her education and life style and infuse our way of education , knowledge and make them believe ours is great and english is better than theirs
And they were highly successful in it
One example to bring home my point
Earlier times , our forefathers used to brush their teeth with charcoal powder mixed with salt
When EIC invaded India , laughed at us looking at this great sight and activity and made a mockery still you are using this charcoal powder ??
Then they introduced toothpastes with pepper mint etc
After 400 yrs , now all tooth paste companies and famous FMCG MNCs are introducing tooth pastes with “ ACTIVE salt “ and “ brushes made of carbon bristles “ for effective and complete dental care “
It seems now only they have been enlightened that carbon is the best filtering agent avl and started using them in their products
We Indians were using them centuries before knowing its value
This is how India was degraded of her cultural richness and knowledge by the west and exploited severely for centuries
