Orientalism I (The Aftermath) Comments

Thanks Indira Edward Said in his 'Orientalism' has taken the subject at length which is very informative and interesting. At one place he mentions that the successor to Newton was removed from his position in Cambridge for his leanings towards Islam. Pre and post Newtonian era is mentioned by Henry Kissinger. Now coming to this poem, 'The aftermath” in fact is the critique from history as it started from 'Egypt' The Christ being 'son of God”, and down to Greek reason. The rest is History. In the other poem 'dialogue ensues' there is a subtle dialogue, bringing the point to modern day, where after colonialism, what remains for us to share is 'nuclear technology'. In a way it culminates on a self destructive paradigm than any meaningful exchange of ideas between the two 'dialectical opposites'. On this symbolic culminating point they both agree.

An interesting write about orientalism and their apparently failure to understand and live the truths presented by some of the oldest civilisations of eastern hemispheres. A well conceived and well narrated piece, inviting to pondering and understanding, liked it!

Very very fine and truth spelled in real tones...................
