The peasant, the shoemaker, the sweeper, and such other lower classes of India have much greater capacity for work and selfreliance than you. They have been silently working through long ages and producing the entire wealth of the land, without a word of complaint.
Swami Vivekananda
Never mind if they have not read a few books like you, if they have not acquired your tailor made civilization. What do this matter? But they are the backbone of the nation in all countries. If these lower classes stop work from where will you get your food and clothing? If the sweepers of Calcutta stop work for a day it creates a panic and if they strike for three days, the whole town will be depopulated by the outbreak of epidemics.
Swami Vivekananda
The masses who comprise the lowest castes, through the ages of constant tyranny of the higher castes and by being treated by them with blows and kicks at every step they took have totally lost their manliness and become like professional beggars. They pay for our education, they build our temples, but in return they get kicks.
Swami Vivekananda
These man have to be uplifted; words of hope and faith have to be proclaimed to them. We have to tell them, “You are also men like us, and you have all the rights that we have.
Swami Vivekananda
To the non-Brahmin castes I say, wait, be not in a hurry. Do not siege every opportunity of fighting the Brahmin, because you are suffering from your own fault Instead of wasting your energies in vain discussions and quarrels in the newspapers instead of fighting and quarrelling in your own homes which is sinfuluse all your energies in acquiring the culture which the Brahmin has, and the thing is done.
Swami Vivekananda
I have heard it said that our masses are dense, that they do not want any education, and they do not care for any information. I had at one time a foolish learning towards that opinion my self, but I find experience is a far more glorious teacher than any amount of speculation, or any amount of books written by globe trotters and hasty observers. This experience teachers me that they are not dense, … that they are as eager and thirsty for information as any race under the sun.
Swami Vivekananda
When the masses will wake up, they will come to understand your oppression of them, and by a puff of their mouth you will be entirely blown away! It is they who have introduced civilization amongst you; and it is they who will then pull it down Therefore I say, try to rouse these lower classes from slumber by imparting learning and culture to them. When they will awaken and awaken one day they must they also will not forget your good services to them and will remain grateful to you.
Swami Vivekananda
