Respect for Other Cultures

Respect for other cultures can only come about after an awareness of and respect for one’s own culture, argues veteran nationalist John Bean.

By John Bean. According to a recent news report, Hindu temples in Goa, India’s hippy beach resort have banned western tourists who wear skimpy bikinis, see-through clothes and kiss and cuddle within their sacred walls.

As a consequence, priests at the Mahalasa Narayani Temple in Mardol have put up a sign warning “entry restricted for foreign tourists.” Others, including Goa’s conservative Christian churches, have imposed a strict dress code for visitors to protect the sanctity of places of worship.

Sabina Martins, a campaigner for Goan women’s rights, said that the ban reflected a concern that foreign visitors do not respect local peoples’ culture and traditions.

We have in recent years heard similar complaints from the Spanish Costas and the Greek Islands — but like the Goans they had no objections to bikinis on the beaches.

Needless to say, the majority of the tourists showing this disrespect for other people’s cultures are British. Many, certainly those visiting India and Thailand, are taking a gap year before going to university and some are post graduates.

In the main they would consider themselves reasonably well-educated and would look down upon the working class of British cities who showed their opposition to the effects of mass immigration by voting BNP.

As these young women tourists follow their UK Friday night practice of binge drinking, but on a nightly basis, the resultant mental oblivion equals their normal oblivion to the culture of their hosts.

It’s all one-world now, they say, and these ‘cultural differences’ are just leftovers from British imperialism.

Why should this be so? What have they missed in their education? Perhaps that Western education has been transformed to what it was once.

Over half a century ago, as a young man of 23 I spent nearly six months working in India. From the moment I caught the train from Mumbai (then Bombay) to Calcutta, I was aware that I was in the presence of a deep-seated culture.

But I could only observe it and respect many facets of it, but because of my own Western culture I could never really be part of it.

It is my view that is how all nationalists, throughout the world, should consider other people’s cultures unless they are being forced upon you in a form of colonisation. This, in the main, the British did not do in India in the days of the Raj.

It is the globalist, liberal-left ideology that now controls virtually all British and Western educational establishments that has brought about this change.

I am tempted to call it “Marxist” but the fact is that Marx, like Engels, personally believed in the significance of heredity and race — like a lot of early socialists.

Of course the ideological movement that emerged from their teachings eventually yielded to the view of biological and cultural egalitarianism as a necessary ploy to inspire revolutionary passions among the ‘proletariat.’

  1. “Respect for other cultures can only come about after an awareness of and respect for one’s own culture”. Very true, and yet most white people no longer know what our culture is.

    It is not so long ago that the British had moral ethical and religious codes not so far removed from those of the Taliban. Clearly some ‘liberal’ reforms have been of benefit to society but we have now gone way beyond the mandate that those initially well intentioned reforms had. Marxism has replaced a culture which evolved over millenia and it has replaced it with nothing. Our core value is that we have no core values. It has destroyed the family unit, destroyed our communities, encouraged women to adopt the worst characteristics of men, created an underclass, destroyed national pride and taken away our sense of duty, responsibility, manners and etiquete. When the EDL say they are ‘protecting our culture’ the left mock them saying that the culture we have is the one I just described, the rotten corpse of our culture starting to smell after being dismembered in the butcher’s shop of Marxism.

    Now the left wonder why young muslims don’t want to integrate with the ‘culture’ the left created. But why would a young Muslim want to give up something for nothing?

    We used to have a culture that people around the world admired, a culture that people did want to emulate and be a part of. Now we have nothing.

  2. We Nationalists actually have respect for other peoples cultures , as we love our own and see the difference in the worlds people. It is the globalist multi culture lefty menaces who have got everything the wrong way round. They do not have any respect for anything . Join the British Democratic Party and have respect for yourself, your country , your people and indeed other peoples.
