the great nigerian author chinua achebe has just passed away.
his magnum opus "things fall apart" (the reference is to william blake, 'things fall apart, the center cannot hold') shows how vile white christian invaders/colonizers despoil, rape, plunder, create genocide: all the things the church is doing in india today as well, for instance with its storm troopers from kerala and tamil nadu. (note how the crypto christists attacked sri aurobindo's samadhi).
all should read this book to see the plans and impact of the generic global imperialist movement for the glory of the white man, also known as the christian church.

The full stanza from the poem, “The Second Coming”:
“Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
However, the poem was by William Butler Yeats!
Nizhal Yoddha's quote reminds of an old Malayalam saying:
“Anjanamennathu njanariyum
manjalu pole veluthirikkum
as the leftists in the us might say, 'one dwem is as good as another dwem'. yes, i did get two white guys confused, but all white guys look alike. so sue me :-)
i have used this quote in some material i wrote, so i remembered it. and it is a good description of what is happening to india now, and that was the context i used the poem. [fyi, dwem = dead white european male. the lefties get very upset about the canon of traditional western literature taught to students, and they want the dwem works (socrates, byron, voltaire, locke etc.) to be substituted by the works of non-whites and non-males.]
