History of Time ( Chapter 1- Crisis Of the Modern Civilisation)

It was October 31 night. Iwas returning from kannur to Alwaye by Tea garden express. In my compartment there were two young Britishers. Mr. David Day, a computer engineer and his friend a publisher of school books. They have come to Indian as tourists and had gone to various places in North India and were coming to Kerala. We entered into a long conversation about the condition in Britian, West Europe and India. These youngmen belong to a new generation. They donot know even the name of Robbert Clive, the founder of British Raj in India. They were also different from the bureaucrats and the MemSahebs of Forsters ` Passage Of India' who believed in the Britishmen`s mission to civilize India and the rest of world. It seems tome that the old imperialist umblical chord is broken. Tese youngsters disillusioned with the conditions in the West and shocked and appalled at the poverty and misery in India. They look for a new world  of peace, amity and progress. Youth all over the world in America, West European countries Israel, Arab countries, India, Pakisthan, and China are dissatisfied with the present. They do not want to bear the legacy and sin of an imperialist and colonial past. They are restless. Will some thing new be born out of their reatlessness and desire for aworld of peace, amity and progress?
