Escape From The Herders by R. Sittamparam
Chap. 1. Episode 1 (part 9)
Kali had heard elders deifying the white coat sentinels almost worshipping them, seeking their mercy to save the masses from the army of bacteria, viruses and natural disasters and disturbances supposedly being cast upon them by natural forces.
In the imagination of the masses – well indoctrinated by rote learned academics and an education system shaped by industrialists and dictators – the natural world around us is the source of all our sufferings and represents a fearful threat to human lives and is a looming danger to human families.
Their brand of history perpetuated by Colonialists from the West also glorifies materialistic society and regard all other indigenous human societies that choose to live in harmony with the natural world as barbarians and ignorant savages.
