Tribute to the 75th Anniversary of Indian Independence

A Tribute to 75th Anniversary of Indian Independence
Saturday, August 20, 2 pm EDT

Helga Zepp-LaRouche, founder and leader of the International Schiller Institute, will give a special online presentation in celebration of the 75th anniversary of Indian independence, Saturday, August 20. Joining Helga Zepp-LaRouche will be Sam Pitroda, an innovator, entrepreneur, and policymaker. He has been a Cabinet Minister and advisor serving over the years seven Indian prime ministers.

This presentation will advance the Schiller Institute’s proposal for the creation of a new world security and development architecture, rejecting the “Global NATO’ perpetual war practice. Zepp-LaRouche has long discussed this approach, including in “Gandhi’s Vision for a New Paradigm in international Relations, a World Health System, and Direct Non-Violent Action In Times of Social Breakdown,” a paper delivered at the online International Conference of the Association of Asian Scholars on “Revisiting Gandhi: Peace, Justice and Development,” October 30-31, 2020. That paper is available through Executive Intelligence Review.

The relationship to India of Zepp-LaRouche and her husband, the late statesman and economist Lyndon LaRouche, was a bedrock influence in how the Schiller Institute was formed. Lyndon LaRouche, presenting testimony to an international tribunal of legislators, legal experts, diplomats and civil rights leaders conducting Independent Hearings to investigate misconduct of the United States Department of Justice, described how he began his political career. “A number of the students who participated in (my) classes, became associated with me, and out of this association came the birth of a nascent political organization, as much a philosophical organization as political. Our essential commitment was to Third World issues and related issues – that is, economic justice for what is called the Third World, is essential for a just society for {all} nations. I became particularly attached to this during military service overseas in India, where I saw what colonialism does to people….. and that if we allow the circumstances to prevail that I saw in the Third World, we will bring upon ourselves some kind of disaster, either war, or something comparable down the line. And that was central to our commitment as an association. “

On August 6, The Hindu, a major Indian newspaper ran an article, “Schiller Institute Calls for New Bretton Woods to End War, Economic Crisis,” illustrated with a prominent photograph of a 2001 meeting of Mr. and Mrs. LaRouche with then-Indian President K.R. Narayanan at the presidential offices.

Zepp-LaRouche and the Schiller institute are organizing a two-day weekend conference September 10-11, celebrating Lyndon LaRouche’s 100th birthday and demanding that a scientific and cultural dialogue among India, the United States, Russia and China supersede the drive toward war now dominant in the world, and that the spiritually civilized standpoint of Gandhi’s vision for a new paradigm in international relations become, through such conferences, the means for peace through economic development worldwide.

Zepp-LaRouche will also announce the first-time-ever publication of a January 1985 “India paper” by LaRouche, “The Implications of Tilak’s Theses for the Scientific Potential of India Today,” soon to be available through Executive Intelligence Review. Other LaRouche documents on India include “A Fifty-Year Development Policy for the Indian-Pacific Ocean Basin” and “The Present Scientific Implications of Vedic Calendars from the Standpoint of Kepler and Circles of Gauss."

India is a great and powerful country that has the ability to grow one of the greatest civilizations that ever existed, except for the greed of the banking systems and controllers above governmenment. The caste system hasn't gotten smaller, only larger with time and technology! We uor the banks rule the natural world we share. Peace, love and helping our neighbors is all good, but history has proven many times that human nature of those who covet controll always ends badly with mass extinctions and uave gone over the edge with their evil. Murphy;s Law of promotion: The cream rises to the top, but so does the scum! In a world of control nobody wins and all eventually lose, as when good times are abundent they feed off the public, who pays for their great works, not knowing that they are slaves in an elaborate system of fraud and deceit.Equally when times are bad, the powers that be will canabalize each other, but still honor their secrets to survive a total destruction of their bloodlines if mankind ever had a mass awakening all at once! This is not the answer, no matter the evil that has been done, for the Lord says repent and be saved! They have played and exploited billions of souls, but accomplished great feats with hidden technology and many good souls spent in the process, and if change doesn't happen another great mass extinction will happen. Forgiveness is God's not ours to give, as we must not judge. If they spend on saving our planet and people, rather than destruction to maintain control. That is my opinion with peace in my heart! If they made a UTurn in policy, they and all others would have better lives.. The world itself has been designed for extinction at the whim of the few, and pure evil will stay evil, but some are trapped in something they don't support or even realize sometimes. energy is free but power and control comes at a price to keep human slavery and trafficing the biggest business in the world today! Some evil will always exist, but many powerful people will repent and help our world, given the chance, but fear they are trapped by the pure evil that has control NOW!

Thank you for the presentation. I cannot understand how the powers at be in India stood by and allowed the exploitation of the small cotton farmers relating to genetically modified crops, also my daughter visited kolkata working for a charity, was totally horrified at the poverty human suffering and abandonment of sick children whom without help intervention would die all this in such a financially rich country. Looking across Europe the level of homelessnes, poverty, hunger, energy poverty, poor health, is absolutly shocking. The corporatization of Europe is in full swing, with Ireland and its Successive Globalist Neloiberal Comprador Governments the Gatekeepers of Corporate Exploitation behaving as if they were on Neoliberal Steroids, with the opposition while strong in their condemnation been critiized as that been all they are capeable of, a large section of the population disolusioned and not voting and both state and Corporate media in lockstep. How do we put an absolute stop to their march????

The people of the world seem to be like Americans. In spiritual prison.

Is there no benefit to colonialism -- such as the transfer of educational systems, technological advances?
