Ignorance Filth Want

More From Jawaharlal Nehru

I want nothing to do with any religion concerned with keeping the masses satisfied to live in hunger, filth, and ignorance. i want nothing to do with any order, religious or otherwise, which does not teach people that they are capable of becoming happier and more civilized on this earth, capable of becoming master of his fate and captain of his soul.
Religious Ignorance Fate
We got to face some facts. that the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when i talk about the masses, i'm talking about the white masses, i'm talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too. we've got to face the fact that some people say you fight fire best with fire, but we say you put fire out best with water. we say you don't fight racism with racism. we're gonna fight racism with solidarity. we say you don't fight capitalism with no black capitalism; you fight capitalism with socialism.

It seems to me that our three basic needs, for food and security and love, are so mixed and mingled and entwined that we cannot straightly think of one without the others. so it happens that when i write of hunger, i am really writing about love and the hunger for it, and warmth and the love of it and the hunger for it… and then the warmth and richness and fine reality of hunger satisfied… and it is all one.
Food Writing Reality
Ignorance is not bliss. ignorance is poverty. ignorance is devastation. ignorance is tragedy. and ignorance is illness. it all stems from ignorance.
Ignorance Knowledge Tragedy
If the men of the middle ages... lived in filth and discomfort, it was not for any lack of ability to change their mode of life; it was because they chose to live this way, because filth and discomfort fitted in with their principles and prejudices, political, moral, and religious.... it was in the power of medieval... craftsmen to create armchairs and sofas that might have rivaled in comfort those of today
Religious Men Political
A religion true to its nature must also be concerned about man's social conditions....a ny religion that professes to be concerned with the souls of men and is not concerned with the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them, and the social conditions that cripple them is a dry-as-dust religion.

More striking still, it appeared that, if the process of concentration goes on at the same rate, at the end of another century we shall have all american industry controlled by a dozen corporations and run by perhaps a hundred men. put plainly, we are steering a steady course toward economic oligarchy, if we are not there already.
Running Men Goes On
How can i adopt a creed which, preferring the mud to the fish, exalts the boorish proletariat above the bourgeois and the intelligentsia who, with whatever faults, are the quality in life and surely carry the seeds of all human advancement?
Quality Advancement Mud
And i loathe people who find it harder to put up with a gown askew than with a soul askew and who judge a man by his bow, his bearing and his boots.

Tax time approaches, and americans are as always paying h & r block billions to help them save some of their wealth from their ravenous government. pitiful, in a way: it underlines the grim but unacknowledged fact that the government is their enemy and they have to hire protection from it. but don't we enjoy 'self-government'? well, if we have it, i'd hardly say we enjoy it. true, we aren't being taxed by the monarch of great britain, but our american-born rulers claim far more of our wealth than the british monarchs ever did.
