Just like i could not generalise Ph.D scholars based on my friends and relatives, the same applies your case too.. YOu and your relatives are passionate .. but that cannot be a proof to claim that MOST of Ph.D scholars are passionate .. As i said earlier, there is no statistical evaluation of the Ph.D results, neither in terms of the quality of the content, nor in terms of the outcome of the research..

That’s why i limited my claim and said “There are many Ph.D scholars..”.. I do extrapolate based on sample data and the environmental and psychological factors..

Regarding my questions in my comment, let me repeat the most important one in simple words..

“Is Indian constitution subjected to public voting when written? If not, how can it be legitimate”..

If you could not understand atleast the above question, i have no words to say.. there is a rationale reasaon available to explain why a particular thing is NOT understandable.. I welcome such arguments to disprove or falsify my questions..

MOST of the PhD scholars are doing it just because they are passionate abt their research topic or they want to excel in their (research) career; there are a few exceptions (like YOUR friends and relatives) who do it just for getting a degree. We cannot demean all research scholars by assuming these exceptions/worst examples as role models.

Most of my family members – just for example- are researchers. Many carry out their research not just for a PhD degree, but for their passion… They dont even submit any thesis, but put their findings in a public blog…

Your comments cannot be answered as they dont have any meaning!!!! Very sorry for this. PLEASE STOP generalizing by considering a limited population; this shows your limited research/view…

Talk of something which you can prove. Stop arguing without any reference. We come here to read blogs and not your meaningless arguement.

If my comment appears to have generalised all Ph.D degrees, i regret for it.. I do not mean that.. There are many Ph.D scholars who are passionate in their research..

I was mentioning about what i have seen in and around.. There are around 400 engg colleges in Tamilnadu alone.. and there are many lecturers who complete ME, and do a Ph.D just for getting a degree to get promoted, and NOT for the research purpose.. This includes my friends and relatives.. and we can interpolate at an all india level.. If we ever have a review of the quality of the research papers submitted in india, we can get a perspective.. I dont know if we have that review.

And barring my Mutterings which i do agree i have made, there are many questions i have raised which is so far not answered.. We cannot accept things in right way, just for the sake of it..

Senthil,
I read all your comments… I am very sorry to say that they are utterly meaningless and ofcourse reflects your mentality to not accept things in the right way! If that is so, please leave this good post and write all your mutterings in your own blog, where I would even by mistake stumble upon!!!

“What if a whole thing of a content is borrowed one? At worst it should be called a “Piracy” . and in a moderate tone, it would be called as “Plagiarism”.. and in a decent tone, it would be called as a “Copy cat”..
Our founding fathers has written a constitution, just like a typical Master graduate gets his Phd degree.. . (For those who are not aware, many Phd degrees are got simply by cut& paste from different sources and submitting for review. They may get a degree certificate, but there wont be any worth)”

FYVKI… I am very much hurt by the above comment of yours on PhD scholars. I am a research scholar, and would love to sue you for this nonsensical declaration. You need to visit a research lab to realise what are the efforts of a research scholar! How many PhDs have you done or guided so far to declare this?! I am sure a PhD written/guided by you will have all those SALIENT FEATURES mentioned by you!!! Stop bragging and join an NGO and serve people other than blogging people to serve others/ and commenting just to show your defiance. You are not welcome to reply!

Vamsi.. i have analysed those acts.. what’s special about those? Those acts are meant to strengthen the british hold on india, and to dissipate and subvert the freedom movement..

Different b/w company rule and British rule??????? The only difference i could find is that before 1857, Britain exploited india through a benomy , and after 1857, it directly exploited us..

If we read the true history (NOT the romila thapar kinda version) , we find that the British East India Company was approved by British queen Elizabeth-I for the sole purpose of colonising indian trade. Later British Military used this company as front end to colonise militarily.

Have you ever seen any corporate company, with a standing army, a naval fleet, with all types of military hardware? British East India company had all those which was supplied by British military..

Also, till 1857, various administrative activities of the company are supervised by the British Parliament, which means, the british are colloborators to company’s activities, and only when they find that the company could no more keep india, they sent an army to take over it..

Now my question? What is the difference b/w company rule and British Rule, for us to cherish?

Also Can we ever see history from an indigenous perspective? The manner in which you and some other bloggers in this community approach history indicates that you all identify yourself more with the Britishers rather than our native people.. and that’s why british laws are considered as valuable…
So One more reason to prove my point that India had NOT really obtained independance, and it is the Brown Britishers (also called Indian Elites or the Brown sahibs) who really inherited the power to colonise native Indians.. (past 60 years of history only prove this)

Before independance Britishers started creating a class of people similar to their lifestyle, attitude, attire to strengthen their hold on india.. After independence, this task is continued by the brown sahibs to complete the task..

PS: This is an intended provocation to drive my point.. I hope i have done this without hurting anyone directly..
