Namaste Benjamin-ji,

 

Thanks for sharing this important letter. However, it does

fall outside the scope of the list. Simply because the Upanishadic

axiom of 'sarvaM khalvidaM brahma' ('All, indeed, is Brahman') can be

quoted, it does not justify including every subject under the sun for

the purposes of discussion on this list. [The letter specifically

addresses history text-books, and not the whole of education.]

 

We are sorry, but we feel but the thread on this subject

will not contribute a productive dialogue.

 

This message is therefore regretfully expunged.

Ah, but my message was rejected with such

grace and finesse, how can I be miffed? :-)

 

Anyhow, I recommend reading it on the

WAVES List. It is a recent message

posted by Michel Danino.
