== PROUT'S SOLUTION TO DARFUR CRISIS ==
Namaskar,
The current tragedy in Darfur (Sudan) stands as yet another example of
how our world history is littered with the devastation of various native
and local peoples.
But this need not be a recurring pattern for centuries and centuries to
come.
Prout holds some simple yet defining points that will put an end to such
crimes. In a nutshell, Prout protects indigenous and local populations
from the onslaughts and aggression of outside forces. And just by
upholding this statute, the spilling of human blood will decrease
dramatically.
In contrast, without this Proutistic solution, there will never be peace
on this earth.
NOT A NEW SITUATION
Since the beginning of humanity, outside communities have been
inflicting immense harm on native populations.
Baba says, "The period of Shiva was a most turbulent period in India. On
the one hand there were the Aryans, the outsiders, and on the other hand
there were the indigenous people, with their Tantra-oriented culture and
religion. Into this conflict-ridden environment, Shiva was born." (NSS,
Disc: 1)
Thus from the Aryans of old, to the Americas of a few centuries ago, to
today's situation horror in Darfur, there runs a common theme: Unbridled
attacks on native peoples.
The Native Americans were wiped out by the invading Europeans-- as were
the aborigines of Australia, as well as so many other groups by various
attackers. From century to century, untold harm has been meted out to
indigenous peoples. Mostly because outside parties have the sole
intention to gobble up that land and pillage their natural resources and
/ or take over that region.
Either this is done by entering that area as a minority and slowly
becoming a majority-- as the white settlers did in the Americas and as
the Chinese did in Tibet. Or it was done by coming in and grabbing the
resources of that land as the British did in India. In either scenario,
it spells d-i-s-a-s-t-e-r for the local peoples; they will either be
exploited or ruined entirely.
HAPPENING TODAY IN VARIOUS WAYS
Basically, whenever there is an outpouring of people from one area to
another, there is going to be harm inflicted on native or local
populations. That is not to say that the non-native community never
suffers any blows, but history shows that the outside aggressors usually
impose their will and dominate the local people.
Currently, there is a growing population of "overseas Chinese" living in
Southeast Asia and Africa. Although they are a minority in those
regions, they are flexing their muscles and using their psychic strength
to slowly, slowly control the economies of those regions. This is one
very real trend that is going on.
"Chinese control at least 55 per cent of the Malaysian economy; Chinese
control at least 22 percent of the Indonesian economy; Chinese control
at least 44 per cent of the Thai economy; Chinese control at least 22
percent of the Vietnamese economy and 11 percent of the Filipino economy."
Those "overseas Chinese" have not traveled to those lands to become one
with the local people; rather they have gone there to take advantage of
the situation-- to exploit the local workforce and resources for their
own economic gain.
While the situation in Darfur is expressing itself in a much more ugly
and bloody manner, the underlying cause is the same. Outside nomadic
peoples, i.e. Arab Muslims known as the Janjaweed, have over the years
toured through western Sudan, i.e. Darfur, to get water and food etc.
And, at first, these nomads were basically welcomed-- or at least
unchallenged-- by the local people. However, as water and other
resources became more scarce, the Janjaweed took a much more offensive
and barbaric approach that has now erupted into full-blown genocide that
is going on now in Darfur.
And this comes on the heels of so many other human disasters, whether we
look at what happened in Bosnia, western China, satellite countries of
the former Soviet Union, or elsewhere. Time and again outside aggressive
forces have utterly shattered and mutilated the lives of local people--
for the sake of stealing their resources or swallowing up their nation.
PROUT HAS THE ANSWER
In response to all this, our Prout philosophy has the ideal answer.
Basically, Baba's mandate is that the native people must be protected
and they must be enabled to govern and be in charge of their own land area.
Baba says, "All the resources in a socio-economic unit should be
controlled by the local people. In particular, the resources which are
required to produce the minimum requirements must be in local hands, and
all the industries based on these resources will have to be controlled
entirely by the local people. Local raw materials must be fully utilized
to produce all kinds of commodities necessary for the economic
development of a socio-economic unit. Local people are those who have
merged their individual socio-economic interests with the socio-economic
interests of the socio-economic unit they live in." (PNS-21)
By His above mandate, it is clear that Baba gives full power,
protection, and right to native peoples to manage their own land area
and its resources. That means the native people of Darfur should be free
to mange their region, same with the Jews in Israel, as well as the
Tibetans etc. Prout does not tolerate the ways of any intruding population.
Baba says, "No outsider should be allowed to interfere in local economic
affairs or in the system of production and distribution, otherwise a
floating population will develop, causing the outflow of economic wealth
from the local area. If this occurs the area will become vulnerable to
outside economic exploitation and decentralized economy will be
undermined." (PNS-21)
Thus, according to Baba, there is no scope for an outside clan to
enforce its will on a native community. Because if that happens, there
is going to be devastation and destruction in that land area and to
those people.
Yet the entire history of mankind is the history of outside exploiters
ruling over native populations and creating hell all around.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN DARFUR
So then what should be done in Darfur? How does Prout aim to bring peace
to the region? There is only one way. Those nomadic Arabic tribes-- the
Janjaweed-- must be removed and kicked out of that area. So long as they
remain there the local people will be suppressed and verily
exterminated. So those Janjaweed have no right to remain there and peace
can only be restored to that area by physically removed those nomadic
Janjaweeds from the region. That is the only way out.
Thus, according to Prout, if the local people of Darfur are unable to
remove those Janjaweed intruders, then some sort of national or
international coalition of forces must be mobilised to remove them. That
is the only way to respond. Of course if diplomatic measures could work
then that would certainly be welcomed. But by all looks at the issue, it
seems that physical force would be needed to remove those nomads.
The bottom line is that those nomads must be cleared from the area and
be granted another place to live and the local population of Darfur
should be free to manage their own regional territory.
WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS
If the nomads are not removed, we will witness the obliteration of that
local Darfur community. And not just in Darfur, but around the globe if
this practice of allowing outside aggressors to come in and dominate an
area-- either through physical force or by economic means-- then no
people will be safe on this earth.
China is a monstrosity waiting to explode. Just as they did with Tibet,
the Chinese are sending their burgeoning population to various corners
of the globe-- not to become one with the local people, but rather to
control them through economic power.
Then of course there is the global Muslim population whose aim is simply
to swallow up new regions through population growth. By allowing men to
have countless wives who give birth to dozens of children, the Islamic
strategy is to swallow up local populations.
And then of course we have seen for years how US capitalists have
changed the face of this earth through their ruthless economic policies.
So we will see untold harm if outside aggressors continue to get scope
to impose their will on native people. It will be an absolute disaster
and no one will be able to breathe freely.
BABA'S BLESSING
By Baba's grace He has given Prout to restore balance and peace on this
earth, forever eliminating problems like the horror we see today in Darfur.
Baba says, "PROUT is the panacea for the integrated progress of human
society. It aims to bring about equilibrium and equipoise in all aspects
of socio-economic life through totally restructuring economics. Without
PROUT, socio-economic emancipation will remain a utopian dream." (AFPS-9)

Note 1: MORE EXAMPLES FROM BABA HOW OUTSIDE FORCES
HAVE PUMMELED LOCAL PEOPLES
Here Baba outlines some of the techniques employed by outside groups to
dominate a local ethnic population.
Baba says, "The Chinese sent many people to settle in Tibet so that the
Chinese population would outnumber the population of Tibet, and finally
Tibet would become a part of China. When Manchuria was occupied by Japan
it was renamed Manchu-ko, and many Japanese settlers were sent there so
that the Manchurians would be outnumbered by the foreigners. The same
thing happened in the case of Ireland. England sent many people to
settle in the northern corner of the country." (PNS-19)
Baba says, "The Gorkhaland movement, which is demanding a few districts
in the northern part of West Bengal, has reached a climax. The Gorkhas,
who had settled there from outside the state, are now demanding the
formation of a separate state by taking advantage of their Indian
citizenship. They have launched regular agitations, called strikes,
looted, plundered, burnt property, murdered and virtually brought the
law and order situation to a stand still. In fact, the barbaric call for
“An eye for an eye” has been the dominant political slogan, and now
there is no rule of law in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal...In
fact, the Gorkhaland issue is not an isolated political problem of a
particular ethnic community." (PNS-19)
The only solution in all such circumstances is to remove that intruding
party from the area. The rights of local peoples must be upheld and
and that invading group must be helped to live in their own area.

Some Medicines
Baba says, "The third health-determining element is kapha, or the
liquid, viscous portion of the body. Excess kapha creates spontaneous
heat within the body which manifests externally as fever...Ginger is the
enemy of kapha, the destroyer of kapha. Thus one name of ginger in
ayurveda is kapha'ri. Similarly, arum or elephant root is the destroyer
of arsha [piles] so arum in Sanskrit is called arsha'ri or arshaghnii."
(SC-3, p. 103)
Note: The first two health determining elements are va'yu and pitta.
