PASSAGE 3 Why don’t Indian people go to libraries anymore? The reason is that even though India has a population of approximately 100 crores, only 50 percent are literate and only 30 percent educated. So, out of 100 percent only 30 percent of the population visit libraries and make use of the facilities. Most of this erudite class lives in the metros or smaller cities and towns. Life in the smaller towns and cities is slower than the metros and at the end of the day, they get time to fulfil their hobbies. But only a fragment of the educated class can afford to pursue a hobby. People cannot afford to lose themselves in the fantastic world of books due to monetary constraints. Often those who are interested in reading do not have the financial backup, whereas people who are rich enough to buy all the luxuries of the world do not consider- books a money spinning investment. People do not mind spending thousands of rupees on clothes, but think twice before buying a book. People no longer have the space, time and energy in their lives to read. Another aspect, which needs to be highlighted in this context, is the inception of satellite television. It is largely responsible for the decline in reading habits, especially among the youth. Today we are addicted to the television. As a result, children instead of going through big bulky books for pleasure or purpose prefer watching their favourite T.V. Channel. And those who do read do not necessarily read good literature. As somebody said, “education has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading”. It is a fact that a major setback to the libraries all over the world has come due to the Internet. Nobody save the time and patience to go to libraries. Instead, they prefer accessing online e-book services, which save time and money. Another factor, which fails to draw people towards the library, is that a number of them are funded the State Governments, which are always short of resources to update the books and facilities and result, fail to provide the reader with the latest and handy information.

Now mark other big differences between the natural slavery of man to nature and the unnatural slavery of man to man. Nature is kind to her slaves. If she forces you to eat and drink, she makes eating and drinking so pleasant that when we are afford it, we eat and drink too much. We must sleep or go mad but then sleeps is so pleasant that we have great difficulty in getting up in the morning. And firesides and families seem so pleasant to the young that they get married and join in building societies to realize their dreams. Thus, instead of resenting our natural wants as slavery, we take the greatest pleasure in their satisfaction. We write sentimental songs in praise of them. The slavery of man to man is the very opposite of this. It is hateful to the body and to the spirit. Our poets do not praise it; they proclaim that no man is good enough to be another man’s master. The latest of the greatest Jewish prophets a gentleman named Marx. Spent his life in proving that there is no extremity of selfish cruelty at which the slavery of man to man will stop if it be not stopped by law. You can see for yourself that it produces a state of continual civil war called the class war between the slaves and their masters, organized as trade unions on one side and employer’s federation on the other. Saint Thomas More held that we shall never have a peaceful and stable society until this struggle is ended by the abolition of slavery altogether and the compulsion of everyone to do his share of the worlds work with is own hands and brains, and not to attempt to put it on anyone else.
