Vestige of antiquity…..

In some matters the basics of our genetic hardly changed during the long long period of evolution of our race. Rather, apparently it seemed to go through so many changes. But the fact is, still somewhere in some dark nooks of our mind (sub conscious mind,) traits of that primeval man’s , in chromosomal thread still exist. And guide today’s ultra-modern man subconsciously. Today’s highly educated and so called liberal and modern man is given to look down upon the backward societies. That class of people, who still live in tribe and live a life, that is considered backward .

               

                      Modern man look down at the backward people 

In this matter, when we study about the treatment of Western World towards Africans and aborigines of different parts of World. Modern people in their attitude, mock at the customs of these people as the sign of utter backwardness. The attitude of modern man, forces one to look into the psychological spectrum of human mind. Simply, the backward tribal people or aborigines were mocked and derided of their practice of drinking “home brew.”  Furthermore, of their rites of musical drum beatings and songs and dance culture.

                        Modernity is nothing but the refinement

  Now, the rising question is, how come an educated and cultured class degrade the basic concept of the habit of “drinks” and “musical spree.” In fact, it is also a part and parcel of civilized social system in a refined way. In the true sense, the traces of this trait go back to our initial stage of evolution. The period of time, when we (the  modern man) too were aborigines and backward. In that course of evolution, some segments of our human race lagged behind or left in the darkness.  Who, still as an aborigines consume “home brew” and enjoy musical spree.

This is, in the same way, a modern man does in a night club in the name of entertainment. He too takes alcohol there. Though he takes in a sophisticated style and watch and enjoy musical performance live or melody emitting from some musical appliance. Not only this, he too dances there on the dance floor with different women. Then what basic change we find in the genetic of mankind ? Answer is in no way. Only prototype got changed. Otherwise,  basic is the same as that of modern man and aborigines.

                                                       Vestiges

 The modern man, in the process of discovery of ancient cultures and forlorn tribes, came to know about their custom of “community meeting program.”  It  was a custom, in which youngsters and youth (girls and boys), eligible for prospective marriage, made to stay for night. There, they happened to participate in various social activities. So they might know one another intimately and be helpful to enter into a new life. This custom too was mocked and described as ridiculous by modern society.

But wait!! When you point out your index finger at some one, rest of your three fingers point out at yourself as well. The scourge of “free sex”, “feminism”, “single mother” too are part and parcel of modernity. The dark side of the modern society, riddled with porn hub and fornication, in the name of sophisticated friendship is the display of what kind of culture?

Modern man ridiculing the tribal women for her not being properly clad. This he does, without considering the availability of clothes in that far remote area or due to lack of purchasing power. On the contrary, when a modern man is in a position to afford everything to clad his woman, she is walking clad in minuscule pieces in the name of modernity. What all this is? It,s the same genetic code that just been discussed.

Biologically, still we human beings having the vestige of canine teeth in our denture in the row of our jaws. That is indication of our being a flash eater or cannibal. The same violent tendency, when amplifies in the society in a violent form, it is categorized as the “criminal class.” Even today, stealing of “intellectual property” is considered of utmost value, though it,s a crime.

              Origin of slavery and stealing of intellectual Property

 Here the narration of invading of one tribe over another to capture the “fire” is worth mentioning. It was nothing, but the forceful obtaining of “intellectual Property.” Since, the fire has always been the progenitor of everything. “Fire” was a precious thing, and till the day the secret to light the fire was not invented. It was kept safe as a “burning flame,” in the tribe as an auspicious and precious  thing. The invasion in the dark of midnight and to “loot” this fire, was common and so barbaric that victor tribe along with capturing of fire used to take away women and children of the vanquished tribe.

Prior to that, victor never forgot to extinguish the remains of fire. So the defeated tribe be forced to drag back in to the dark phase, by virtue of being devoid of “fire. The women and children captured as such worked as slave there. It was the ‘origin of slavery,’ that we witnessed as an scourge in our history of the civilization. Just recall the recent incidence of missing airplane of civil aviation of Malaysian government that was bound for Bezing . That is the befitting case of stealing of “modern fire”. 

                                           The clouded story

 the story, that filtered out behind the mystery of airplane proclaims some mystic facts. The agency of one powerful State, took possession of the misguided ultra advanced missile engine of another superpower. This agency, secretly planned to transport that engine in the civil airplane cargo ,in disguise. It was with purpose, so no one could surmise about the transportation of engine  secretly. But, the superpower’s agency intercepted the airplane took back the engine or destroy the engine of the missile. Yet it,s not known what happened of that plane and commuters on the board. The missile was the new technical form of “Fire”. So, may whatever ultra modern we turn up, despite of all that, we carry the vestige of our antiquity in this or that way…..
