Refugee: peril - Prout
Namaskar,
This letter is comprised of two components. The case studies presented in component 1 are essential to better understanding the Proutistic theory, teachings, and solution given in component 2.
~ Component - 1 ~
Now many English speakers are losing their jobs because they are not bilingual. Due to very cheap Hispanic labour, capitalists want supervisors who are bilingual (English / Spanish) in order to control the workforce, This is the difficulty facing the local, English-speaking population in the host country. Hispanic refugees come in huge numbers and do not want to learn the local language. Now it is the duty of host citizens to learn their language. This is a case where people became foreigners on their own soil. That is why those in border states of the host country are feeling overwhelmed by the Hispanic immigration situation. Capitalists want cheap labor but locals are losing their jobs and seeing their pay cut in half. Side by side they are witnessing a huge influx of Hispanic students into the host country’s public school system, and that is costing local taxpayers huge money. That also makes the situation more tense.
At the same time it should be noted that the cause of the Central American refugee crisis is the host country itself. The host country has a long history of never allowing those Central American nations to flourish. Time and again the host country toppled their democratic governments and inserted their stooges as the head of state. Finally, the corruption became so extreme that Hispanic youths formed gangs and started looting etc. That is the reason for all the chaos. In the end the only big winners are the capitalists. Everyone else suffers including the local host population, and refugees who have to leave their homeland etc. Capitalists are the sole victors.
Difference between refugees?
Question: Some think that there are various grades of refugees - some are good and some are bad. Economic migrants are looked upon as being worse than those who became refugees due to persecution and war.
Answer: The central ideas regardless of the type of refugee, the end result is the same. With regards to the US, most came from Britain to escape religious persecution. They were refugees, but the end result is that they occupied the country. In various places, due to man-made calamities (war etc) or natural calamities (drought etc) people go to a new land and ultimately occupy the place. With regards to the Gorkhaland problem in India, Baba explains how they were refugees from Nepal and came to India to escape the drought. And now there is chaos and and bloodshed and they are controlling that part of India, ie Gorkhaland, and kicked out native people with terror. Sudan is also a current example with its Civil War. Those refugees running from their home due to war or famine, or any other type of calamity, should be provided a place to live in a safe zone near, in or around their country where they are given shelter and food etc. And then return back to their native place when there is peace.

Nowadays a big crisis is mounting in the US and throughout Europe with regards to refugees and undocumented immigrants. This is a serious issue and people do not know what to do. However, the stand of Prout is extremely clear. Kindly continue reading.
Ways to capture a country
First we should understand that history bears testimony that a country can be captured in various ways.
(#1) By Force: The military can be mobilised to fight and capture a foreign land or country and rule over that population.
(#2) By Soft Means: Countries send their own people / population to live in a particular region or foreign land until gradually over time they become the dominant group in that area. This approach was done in the following cases:
(a) The Chinese sent their citizens to Tibet and ultimately captured Tibet.(b) The Britishers sent their citizens to Ireland, Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and the US, and ultimately captured those areas.(c) The Nepalese sent their citizens to eastern India / Gorkhaland and ultimately captured those regions.(d) The state of Bengal sent their citizens to Sri Lanka and ultimately dominated Sri Lanka.(e) The state of Kashmir was a longtime place of Hindus that Muslims came to occupy.(f) Muslims of Bangladesh left their home country and have occupied bordering states of India.(g) Spain sent their citizens to Central & South America and ultimately took control over that entire land mass.
In all the aforementioned cases, those outsiders ultimately outnumbered, dominated, and even killed the local population. The native people were pushed down, beaten, and forced to live in a compromised way whereby they became alienated and depressed, or were killed in large numbers
This occurs with one country capturing another country, as well as within a given country also. For instance, north Bihariis went south and captured the state of Jharkhand. In all these types of cases, this has a very negative effect on the native people. Those locals are treated as inferior, and they lose their place, status, and culture. They become a become an outsider in their own homeland. And the peace and tranquility of the society is lost.
Conclusion
The way things are shaping up a similar event will unfold across the entirety of Europe and the US also. We should beware and avert such a disaster.
Question: What then should be done about the current refugee crisis?
Solution: Those refugees and victims of war or natural calamities should be set up to live in a safe zone in their country or nearby. It is the duty of every country to provide those refugees humanitarian relief (food, clothing, shelter, medicine etc) until their problem is solved. Then they can return to their homeland once peace has been restored. Everyone loves their homeland.
In Him,
Viplava

Historical cases: Sending citizens to overtake countries
Baba’s following teachings give more in-depth analysis and detail. (Note: The below bulleted points are from discourse - “The Short History of Ireland”, printed in Prout in a Nutshell part 19)
- “Although Britain recognized the independent status – the state – of Ireland, as you know the British followed the policy of “divide and rule”.
- “As a result of continuous fighting for over 60 years, Britain recognized the independence of India, but while leaving the country, Britain divided India into India and Pakistan.”
- “The case with Ireland was similar. When the British handed over power to Mr. De Valera, they divided the country into Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland. Many settlers came from England and settled down in the extreme northern portion of the country.”
- “In the same way the Chinese sent many people to settle in Tibet so that the Chinese population would outnumber the population of Tibet, and finally Tibet would become a part of China.”
- “When Manchuria was occupied by Japan it was renamed Manchu-ko, and many Japanese settlers were sent there so that the Manchurians would be outnumbered by the foreigners.”
- “The same thing happened in the case of Ireland. England sent many people to settle in the northern corner of the country.”
(Note: The above bulleted points are from discourse - “The Short History of Ireland”, printed in Prout in a Nutshell part 19)
And the same thing happened with in Ukraine. Russians settlers progressively occupied some of the major cities until finally they outnumbered the local population. This as especially the case in eastern Ukraine. That is why civil war erupted as those Russian settled did not want to remain part of Ukraine.
Much of the southwestern region of the US was originally part of Mexico. With the rising immigrant population in that area, Mexico is bound to take it back because so many Mexicans living there. In today’s socio-political climate we cannot think that really this will happen, but by seeing the history it is obvious that the whole situation is moving in that direction.
More case studies
Here are more of Guru’s teaching on this matter:
Prout philosophy states, “In Angadesh, many Bhojpurii speaking settlers have come into Bhagalpur and Purnia Districts, and there is a chance of them becoming the majority community, outnumbering the Angiks. Many Bhojpurii speaking people have come to the Jamui sub-division of Magadh, and there is a chance of the Magadhis being outnumbered by the Bhojpuris. In the Manerampir Thana, Bihar area and Chor area, many Bhojpurii speaking people are coming from Ara and Satra, and there is a chance that the Magadhi people will be outnumbered by the Bhojpuris who may take the area as part of Bhojpuri. Many Bhojpurii speaking people have settled down inside those districts and there is every chance they may outnumber the local people.” (1)
Prout philosophy states, “The Gorkhaland movement, which is demanding a few districts in the northern part of West Bengal, has reached a climax. The Gorkhas, who had settled there from outside the state, are now demanding the formation of a separate state by taking advantage of their Indian citizenship. They have launched regular agitations, called strikes, looted, plundered, burnt property, murdered and virtually brought the law and order situation to a stand still. In fact, the barbaric call for “An eye for an eye” has been the dominant political slogan, and now there is no rule of law in the Darjeeling district of West Bengal. (2)
From Wikipedia: “The 19th century saw a dramatic increase in the urban Russian population in what is now Ukraine, as ethnic Russian settlers moved into and populated the newly industrialised and growing towns. At the beginning of the 20th century the Russians were the largest ethnic group in almost all large cities.” (Courtesy of Wikipedia)

Absolute knowledge vs relative knowledge
Ananda Marga philosophy says, “Common people usually live their lives according to absolute knowledge and become noble and great. That is why we see people like Kabir and Ramakrishna, who even without formal schooling, were highly regarded by tens of thousands of people. In fact, it is doubtful whether learned scholars could bring about even a small fraction of the spiritual progress these great people brought to society…”
“Social progress is achieved to some extent through relative knowledge, but here also there is a great possibility of conflict between relative knowledge and absolute knowledge. Relative knowledge often encourages divisive ideas and the propagation of narrow sentiments such as casteism, nationalism, communalism, provincialism, etc., by extolling the greatness of caste, community, creed, colour, etc. It often tends to suppress other castes, communities, creeds, etc., or wants to annihilate them completely. On the other hand, absolute knowledge teaches human beings that the Dharma of all humans is one and the same. The Supreme Entity is the Universal Father. All the human beings of the world are brothers and sisters. All are equal – no one is low, no one is high.” (1)
