Yavana's fueling to the fire

[maadhav]

This para is from a book COLLAPSE by Jared Diamond

in relation to Rwanda and Burundi genociedes of mid '90s.

 

" .. When Germany (1897) and then Belgian (1916) colonial governents took over, they found it expedient to govern through Tutsi (the minority) intermediaries, whom they considered racially superior to Hutu (the majority) because of the Tutsi's paler skins and supposedly more European or "Hamitic" appearance. In 1930s the Belgians required everybody to start carrying an identity card classifying themselves as Hutu or Tutsi, thereby markedly increasing the ethnic distinction that had already existed."

 

the brits did not forget to incite the fire

when they were asked to quit india.

they said: "whom to give power, hindus or musilms?"

 

(the answer was: it is our internal business, you just quite. we will take care of our business.)

 

so, we need to take care of the problem.
