Without the school of Liberal Arts democracy is an abode of madness

Without the schools of Liberal Arts, the democracy remains an abode of madness

There is misreading of some random statement made by Lord Macaulay to the British Parliament.

Because , if his statement were to hold true, then the credit must go the Mughals for having given India the kind of government system which ought to have been at the root of the society which Macaulay's statement is describing.

Truth is that like in Laws there is a subject called the Interpretation of Statutes, a similar logic will apply when we have to read and construe the most agreeable meaning of someone's statement.

It takes huge lessons and experiences from the intellectually challenging field of Liberal Arts to know and interpret what one person's statement may be meaning. His moods, his compulsion, his own political tendencies-- all of it maybe contributory to his thoughts those which maybe behind the words that he may be uttering. So it is incorrect to simply buy out in the face whatever he has spoken .

There , what  India needs is the school of Liberal Arts in order to make its mind free from the rustic and parochial way of seeing things , particularly when making a reading of History . History , without having the open mind, is a great source of social troubles as each parochial mind has his own way of reading and saying his own version of History.

Without the training of Liberal Arts, the talks are surely going to let loose in unwanted directions , such as the utility or the futility of the Ramayan and Mahabharata, which then will unleash more sorrows on a society which is made of half-baked intellectualism .

Therefore, For the intellectualism to ripe , the schools of Liberal Arts are necessary for it is these which yield the pure truth when the raw material of every common man's arguments goes into it.

a Democracy can become a abode of madness unless the furnace of Liberal Arts come to it's rescue.
