DOG THEOREM


(An abstract from the book “How Indians can live in peace and prosper)

A simple experiment was conducted on two dogs. One was white and the other one black.

One day the white dog was chained and the black dog was set free to loiter around. It enjoyed full freedom to move about any where it liked, swallow-up any thing it liked. It chewed animal bones, ate up all rubbish. At late afternoon when hunger was at it’s peak, good food i.e. meat rice etc was served to the free black dog, only inches away from the reach of the white dog.

The situation was watched.

The white dog barked loudest. Tried to break the chain and snatch food from the black dog. Swung around to reach the plate. The barking continued and did not stop.

The next day the experiment was repeated. This time the black dog was chained and white dog was set free. The black dog was chained at the same spot, with the same chain. The white was set free as the black dog was on the previous day. The same food, meat rice etc was served to the white dog on the same spot at the same time.

Observations were same as it was the previous day. The black dog barked the same way as the white one had barked.

The inference of the experiment carries a lot of sense in today’s environment particularly with the reference to the people who have grabbed power and those who crave for power.

The experiment is self explanatory and speaks for itself.
