3rd generation of Esperanto speakers should learn Sun Tzu art of war.
I was attending a talk of 'Sun Tzu, Art of War' Talk. But the speaker changed her topic later when she found out those who are attending the talk are majority the students.
This prompted me to think of the strategies employed by Esperanto Associations, including the UEA and Esperanto speakers need a 3rd generation view.
I came across many Esperantists writing over and over again that Esperanto has no war.
Well, who is going to represent the Esperanto for the war?
But, think twice, it is the war of mental. There we are all the time in and out.
These esperantists think that Esperanto is learn by willingness. But, how can a person learn willingly if the law in the country prohibit the citizens to learn a foreign language.
Strange ? No, it is true though the law does not strictly implemented. The example is Indonesia. In order to get the colonialism out of the country, Indonesia had included this in the law.
The cast system in Southern India which prohibit the outcasts to go to schools even the people like to study Esperanto, they are not able to do so unless these people are taught by the foreigners for example, Mother Teresa.
Now, the 3rd generation of Esperanto speakers are different and should be different. They should help those trap in the unfair system to lead a life by providing them something of literacy.
Did anyone wonder that with the world 20 most speakers, the Tamil speakers, there is no Tamil site in the lernu.net but the Thai, Indonesia are in the progress.
Did any Esperantists think that the outcast in Tamil Nadu in India can receive the literacy if no one to help ? Of course, many still thinks English should be taught even if the literacy opportunity is providing for the outcasts.
But think twice, these outcasts cannot spend 12 years of time in the school but with Esperanto, 200 hours, it is possible to get the outcast be a literate. It might not be 200 hours, maybe 100 hours to get to the intermediate and the outcasts can communicate with the world.
This might anger the government of India and the controlling groups. Now, it is a war against discrimination or keep silent and see the outcast be treated like animals generations by generations.
Think , Esperanto speakers.
