Culture and Religion International Business

A nation, in a word, is a “cultural system,” and thus international relations are interactions among cultural systems8. These studies focus on cultural differences between peoples and nations and try to show how can they be overcome or even made use of in relations among states.

Indian Goodess

The public lectures always make David wonder how many people are still ignorant about the complexity of life and religion. The ‘Crossword’ group in Kolkata, India, has called him to deliver a lecture on the flourishing of new Gods and Myths. “The idea behind a myth is very complex, they are so strong and so much in the culture and daily life of the people that without it life cannot be imagined.” Said David, being a Professor of Religious Study in the Harvard University, he has always tried to explain his students about the patterns of these myths, the narratives and the gods. India has been his favourite area as he is a specialist of South Asian Studies. When he was invited for this lecture he got very excited, he got the opportunity of working in his favourite area; all he did was packed his bag and came to India. After a long research and field work he figured out about this strange narrative in a small village called ‘Bahura’ in Uttar Pradesh.The amount of risk taken by him for this research was enormous, he risked his life! The village Bahura is situated in the Northern Uttar Pradesh, accompanied by one of his closest friend and contemporary Dhiritiman Mukherjee, David went to do his field work. “I got a call from one of my friends who work in the Anthropological Department of India, he told me about this place and this popular narrative of the place. My excitements knew no bound and that is the reason why I am here in front of you people.” When David and Dhiritiman were going to this place they were warned by the locals of the nearby town, they were asked not to go, especially David. The duo did not care much about the warnings and they sneaked into the village. They had a talk with the Anthropological Department and were supposed to camp with them. One of the anthropologists told them about this popular worshipping of ‘Swatantrata Devi’ in the village. ‘Swatantrata’ stands for Independence and ‘Devi’ stands for the Goddess. A firm believer of first hand information, David wanted to talk to the villagers himself but the anthropologist told him that it would be dangerous and he could even lose his life.The anthropologist’s research and field work said that Bahura is a place which is very rich in minerals, during the British Raj the Britishers got to know about this and they started taking away all the minerals and the poor farmers and villagers got nothing. The torture and brutality of the Britishers left the village in chaos, they started killing and torturing the male members and there came a stage when almost all the male members of the village were either dead or working for the British without receiving any pay. The women of the village decided that it must stop and they revolted against the Britishers with weapons, there was a lot of bloodshed and in the end Britishers were defeated. The villagers collected the bodies at one place and there they established this temple of ‘Swatantrata Devi,” their popular belief is that any Britisher who comes to the village is an invader and will bring bad luck to the village, so he or she should be killed and the blood should be offered to ‘Swatantrata Devi’ for the maintenance of peace and order in the village.  David wanted to see the temple and the kind of worshiping done there, when he asked his friend to help then he told him that the main problem is that these villagers, who have not received any education think that all the foreigners are Britishers!The excitement of David made him go to the temple the next day without telling the Anthropological Department people, Dhiritiman was with him. David covered his face and his body fully and there was no trace of his white skin. He stayed there of hours and observed every ritual minutely.                          “My observation and my research told me that this goddess can be very well put into the Hindu Pantheon as a form of ‘Kali’, the warrior goddess. This is actually not a new goddess but another narrative which talks about ‘Kali’, these narratives are common for warrior goddesses. The concept of war and sacrifice and blood, all these are the patterns which can be seen in most of the narratives concerning the warrior goddesses. My escape from this village was a very clean one, and the best part is that I am still alive. The most amazing part about any narrative is its complexity, one should enjoy these narratives but questioning their factual existence is not really pleasant.” David completed his lecture and the whole audito
