Ideas of history are
always derived from the ideas of particular protagonist thoughts and actions to
establish the egalitarian society with progressive behaviours by few
intellectuals who changed the scenario of human society. Ideas of history would
not grow in rigid societies like Asian mode of society where uncivilized
religious theories and practices are ruining the thought process. Therefore,
there is NO single Most Influential People of All Time from this Asia or Africa.
Knowledge would flourish where there is a room for reading, writing, debate,
discussion, analysis without any hypocrisy. Few are dedicating their life time
for the sake of billions of lazy people who are unproductive in achieving
modern goals. I started thinking why this Asian mode of society is like this
with full of hypocrisy, lies, corrupt, manipulations, violence without room for
knowledge. I started observing my own Pooja Yadav-Madiga community people in
regard to creating modern ideas but futile. They are like every Indian Hindu in
terms of manipulations. I did not understand why particular society like white
western Christian society is producing enormous knowledge whereas Hindu or
Islamic or Buddhist society has failed to create any knowledge except
self-glorification of their uncivilized theories and practices which are
contrary with global standards of human development. One cannot expect human
development without achieving knowledge society. Where there is a progressive
knowledge there is a peace of mind without struggling for one time food like
Christian societies. Where there is a lies, corruption and violence there is
always struggling for not only one time food but also for the self-respect,
dignity and identity. There is NO meaning of self-respect or dignity in the context
of Indian society. Indians are new to this kind of modern identities of
self-respect and dignity. They are living without self-respect and dignity but
they can’t live without lies or uncivilized religious practices. Hindu women
are habituated to live without any self-respect or dignity from the beginning
of their origin of Hinduism. Hindu women love slavery and she wanted to be
slave forever. She likes most violent methods at their life partners. She loves
gender, caste and religious hierarchies. She supports uncivilized theories and
practices of Hindu religion. Manu is her God. Hindu women are agents of age old
uncivilized ideas and practices in India. Therefore, I have taken few greatest
personalities who sacrificed or dedicated their life time for establishing a
just society without corruption, lies, unethical life but with love, care,
affection, truth, fraternity, rights and duties. Unfortunately there is NO
single Hindu in this list of progressive personalities who changed the scenario
of the human society with their powerful ideas and actions. They are powerful
intellectuals who questioned the existing inegalitarian thoughts and actions to
re-establish the society with progressive ideas to achieve
social-economic-cultural-political equality with human rights philosophy.
Scientists have rejected religious sponsored myths to forward the human society
with scientific temper. Sociologists have guided the human behaviors from
un-civilization to civilized manner. They have questioned and changed their Christian
societies but failed to change Hindu based society from its un-civilization to
civilization. Many Britishers or British Christian missionaries have tried and
brought out changes by their modern English education but Hindu society in
India with its honor killings, infant killings, caste hierarchies, uncivilized
religious theories and practices are remained as they are even in this modern
day. Mahatma Jothibha Phule or Dr B R Ambedkar or Periyar Ramasamy
or Gurram Jashuva or Manda Krishna Madiga are the greatest products
of white western Christian education in India who tried to change the mind set
of Hindus in order to change the un-civilized theories and practices. I have
given few personalities that influenced the human society from their powerful thoughts
and actions. It’s not a chronological order but I have written from reading the
societies upon whom these below icons are influenced. I have deliberately
avoided kings or queens names from the white western Christian societies even
though they have reformed their kingdoms by their modern principles of
equality, liberty, freedom and fraternity. I might have forgotten great
personalities in this list of influential people but I will add later.
