Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever con- quer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, there- fore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is for- eign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation”.
