CRISIS OF THE MODERN CIVILISATION
by
P.V.KRYAN
CHAPTER- 5
Four hundred years ago during the reign of Jahangir, Sir Thomas Ray, an emissary of James1, king of England came to Delhi for an audience with Padusha. He had to wait for an year and more before the gates of the palace, to get permission for an audience with Padusha. The British were allowed to establish a trading outlet at Surat. In Jahangir's time India was the richest country in the world. But the era of the Great Mughals came to an end. The East India Company cleverly manipulated the political chaos subsequently to the disintegration of the Mughal Empire and became the legal successors of the Great Mughals. During their two hundred years of occupation India was systematically bled white and from the pinnacle of prosperity she was thrown in to the deepest abyss of poverty and misery. This is the tragic epitome of modern West European Civilisation - the enrichment of the West and the pauperisation of the whole of Asia and Africa.

Bertrand Russel and World Government
Crisis of Modern Civilisation
by
P.V. Kuryan
CHAPTER 4
Russel is the apostle of western democracy. Like all other Europeans, Russel also believed in the messianic mission of west Europe to civilise the rest of mankind. He stood for a world government. But his concept of world government was rather distorted. He thought that whiteman will sooner or latter exercise hegemony over all mankind and the whitemans' western liberal traditions will slowly permete the whole human race and ultimately mankind will be united under the liberalism and hegemony of whiteman. Russel thought President Franklin De Roosvelt as the architect of the new World order and his methods would ultimately usher in a world of prosperity and plenty and democratic liberal values. Like Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russel also never anticipated the events which followed his death, the collapse of Communist Russia, the disintegration of the Soviet empire, the increasing poverty and pauperisation of the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America and the crisis of his own Euro America.

Einstein and Bertrand Russel
Crisis of the Modern Civilisation
by P.V. Kuryan
Chapter 3
Albert Einstein and the great physicists of our time have arrived at the conclusion from their researches and studies that the universe is 10,000 million years, the solar system 5,000 million years, and the life on the earth 3,000 million years old. Human civilisation is only 7000 years old. Einstein feared that this civilisation with all its achievements during the last 7000 years,its priceless monuments, works in art and architecture, cites and plains, its greatest centres of culture and learning its factories and more than all its young children beaming with smiles on their faces, its young men and women with throbbing hearts, its men and women with hopes and dreams will perish in a fraction of minute with nobody to survive and mourn the tragic catastrophe. The ruins of Nineh, Jerusalem, Babylon, Athens, Carthage, Baghdad, the Old Kingdom of Egypt, Harappa, Mohanja daro, Ayodya, Patalipthra, Ujjain Madura and the ruins of bygone ages passed in quick succession through my mind. Is this the ultimate destiny which awaits mankind?
Bertrand Russel was more optimistic than Einstein. He pinned his hopes in America, the leader of the later capitalism and democracy. He believed that America with all its vat resources and immense military strength will be able to check and keep in abeyance the rising tide of Soviet Communism and will reinvigorate West European democracies with projects like Marshal Aid and liberal help. He hoped that Soviet Communism also will ultimately lose its fanaticism, and blood thirstiness and reason will prevail and communism will liberalise itself once it becomes aware that its dreams of world conquest will never fructify.

HISTORY OF TIME
CRISIS OF MODERN CIVILISATION
by P.V. KURYAN
CHAPTER 2
HISTORY OF TIME
I have been reading 'History of Time` by the greatest physicist Stephen.W. Hawking who has baffled death all these years and continues his researches sitting and moving in a wheel chair, Bal Gangadhar Tilak's ' Antiquity of Vedas', published in 1895. a books about Buddist concept of minds and Bertrand Russel's book `New Hopes for a changing world.' Vedas, nuclear physics, the mind of man and a new world appear to be a strange combination. Is there a cord binding all these apparently contradictory studies, is it not the cord that unites man with Universe and Eternity. Einstein was sad about the bringing up of the nuclear bomb for which he persuaded Mr. Franklin De Roosevelt so that Nazi Germany may not use it first to defeat and smashed western democracies and the West European civilisation. Albert Einstein was pessimistic about the future of the world. He feared that the present civilisation and man kind will perish out of thermo-nuclear war between the western Europe and Communist Russia and the fear haunted
Einstein till his death. He felt guilty in the innermost depths of his soul for the tragedy that was awaiting mans's destiny and the crucial role he had played in it. It may seem the division of the world in to Communism and Capitalism as a pareniel feature and Communism as poisonous dragon enveloping and engulfing the whole human society.
