Why Mutiny?
by kach kach on May 08, 2007 09:45 PM   Permalink

It's amazing!!!Even after 60 years of independence we are still slaves to the British (western) mindset. We still call this the "mutiny" whereas the proper term from an indian perspective is "First war of Independence". Do you see any other nation's history where they call their struggle against the colonial occupation as "Mutiny". This is the British term from their perspective.

Similarly, you see all newspapers and TV reports using extremely derogatory terms as "idol" for the statues of Indian dieties. You will never hear such a term for buddhist or christian artifacts. This shows how the slavery in us is alive and kicking even today.
