[continueing as no.114]
Labour movements existed in the West and their chief aim is to secure
for workers adequate wages and continous employment, which alone can
improve their standard of living. This idea is unknown to Indian
working classes. These men can either be ground down or made to demand
imposssible terms. They just do not understand their own interests, nor
di they have any ambition to plan for a life-long prosperty.
Indian, not excluding the educated, are branded with the iron of
selfishness. Even our elite are not free from it. Where is our thinkers
or artist who is pleased at the success of his rival or clolleague? As
for working for the food of all, that is not to be dreamed of. Every one
of our intellectuals thinks that he is the only intellectual in India.
the others, they can`t be any good, can they?
Perhaps it is this thirst for infinity that has made Indians seek the
Absolute. It is Indian fate to from darkness into greater darkness.
