Yes. I see that. May be my terminology was wrong or misplaced. We hold our concerts in one such Church! Art of living workshops are given space there as well.uday_shankar wrote: ↑21 Aug 2018, 23:12 The so-called Unitarian Universalist Church, which is really not a "church" in the Christian sense, but a place where a free form spiritual enquiry is practiced, traces its lineage back to the deist beliefs of the founding fathers of America.
In a different reading of history, you will see that the Maharajas were the ones who made the choice and forced to make the choice. And in an act of deception they were kept around to fool people as to who the real rulers were.

Your history reading is based on the wrong perception created by the second statistic! The second statistic is the creation of Caste inequality. And that is incidental. Other than the mylaporeans who remembers Alladi Krishnaswamy and VSS Sastri. No one! They had their role and even their English is an anathema today. They rose from very humble beginnings as children of priests , just like any other Indian.
That they rose as an incidental effect of British requiring to run their Admin, cannot be projected to mean Indian people accepted British rule as a better choice. That may be true in the case of Tipu Sultan! Oh he was a freedom fighter wasn't he? He didn't even rule long enough to know what vision of India he would have made. But we keep claiming he fought on our behalf.
If you read history with true Indian perspective, you will see that there was continuous resistance till 1857. There is a story that Muslims then implicated Brahmins as the cause of that mutiny and there was a backlash against them through all of Eastern India.
Even in a disarmed state in only 40 years, you had svAmi vivEkananda who started his resistance to recover the spiritual soul of India. Sri Aurobindo started his and that inspired many freedom fighters.
