1/🧵👇 Britishers weren't here for trade. They Weren't here for only ruling US. They had much nobler AIM ! Let me uncover everything for you. And for the Brit boot-lickers, the "Britishers gave us railway" gang .. counter this!
2/ 📜 Dumb Hindus keep saying that the Britishers manipulated Sanskrit translations to serve their agenda.. but is it true? Let's dive into the rabbit hole behind their true aim, actions and impact on Indian heritage. 🧵👇 #History
3/ Monier-Williams, a British scholar, compiled a Sanskrit-English dictionary in 1872, heavily used by the Britishers. But why am I Telling you this? 🤔 #ColonialHistory #Sanskrit
4/ In the introduction, Williams states that besides the Greeks, only Hindus have independently and scientifically studied the evolution of language. Quite the compliment, right? 🤨 #Linguistics
5/ Williams acknowledged the vastness of Sanskrit literature compared to European works. For instance, the Mahabharata contains over 200,000 lines! 🤯 #AncientLiterature #EpicPoems
6/ He praised Hindu advancements in astronomy, algebra, arithmetic, botany, medicine, and grammar, recognizing their superiority long before Europe. 🌟 #AncientScience #IndianHistory
7/ He was clear that Sanskrit was still alive, it wasn't dead and was used heavily. So it appears he was a nice brit with noble thoughts! but but..
8/ But, there's a twist! Williams, despite his praises, was influenced by the colonial agenda. He delivered a lecture in 1861 connecting Sanskrit to missionary work in India. 😕 #Colonialism
9/ For him India was a great prospect for missionary work but it was a society which had attained a high degree of civilization and had developed polished language way before Europe even knew Literature.
10/ for him making a perfect dictionary was not aligned with The real purpose? To aid missionaries in converting Indians to Christianity. Shocking, right? 😱 #HiddenAgenda #MissionaryWork
11/ Williams' predecessor, H.H. Wilson, was another key figure. An Orientalist, his translations of the Vedas were used to undermine Hindu beliefs. 📚 #Orientalism #CulturalManipulation
12/ Wilson’s works were aimed at showing Hindu philosophies as false compared to Christian truths. His translations had a hidden motive. 🕵️♂️ #ReligiousAgenda #VedicTexts
13/ In his Essays & Lectures Chiefly on the religion of the Hindus, he revealed his own motives
14/ he says the Hindu beliefs are shown to be fallacious and false by the Ithuriel Spear of Christian Truth.
15/ He Knew that entire Hindu Populus trusted their Gurus and their scriptures. Thus it had to be shown that their authorities were worthless!
16/ Both Wilson and Williams held the Boden Chair at Oxford, what that was will be made clear to you in following tweets so hold tight. 🎓 #AcademicIntrigue
17/ When Wilson was a Boden professor he used to deliver lectures in Oxford on Religious and Philosophical system of Hindus.. so what?
18/ The aim of the lectures was to help brit students to win prizes for best refutation of Hindu religious system!! Now let's know the prime boss
19/ The Boden Chair was funded by Lt. Col. Joseph Boden, whose will explicitly stated its purpose: to aid in the conversion of Indians to Christianity. and "before you say SR we can't read it".. 📜 #HistoricalFacts
20/ Here you can read the exact point I am talking about in The Monthly Magazine / British Register p.791, Boden wanted a special chair in Oxford to study Sanskrit for enabling his countrymen to proceed in conversion of Indians
21/ The British strategy was clear: use education and scholarly work to subtly undermine Indian culture and promote Christianity. 🇬🇧 #ColonialStrategy #CulturalImperialism
22/ East India Company also supported this agenda. Letters and accounts reveal Britisher's desire to convert Indians as they used to receive numerous petitions for our conversions. 🏛️ #CorporateColonialism
23/ Charles Grant in his letter to Directors for the Affairs of the East India Company wrote about the chief aim of the Company..
24/ Governor-General Hastings viewed Hindus as inferior, likening us to animals. Such prejudices fueled their manipulative strategies. But they gave us railways saarr 😡 #ColonialRacis
25/The Dictionary of National Biography contains statement of William Duff, whose plan was to open English Institutes and campaign against Hinduism.. but the aim of the English institutes was to educate us saarrrrr! right?
26/ The Bhartiya Society faced conversion attempts, from company to ordinary British people, all wanted one thing: Our conversion!
27/ Despite these manipulations, the resilience of Indian culture and Sanskrit literature remains unbroken. Satyamev Jayate - Truth alone triumphs. ✊ #CulturalResilience
