Have you noticed how little value a human life has since Trump became President?

It was a lot like this when I grew up in the 1950s. I remember thousands of Hindus and Muslims in India killing each other on the radio mostly with scythes, rakes, hoes and farm equipment as Muslims were driven out of India to form Pakistan (east and west). East became Bangladesh.

It seemed to me as a child that there were just thousands and thousands of dead Muslims and Hindus everywhere then. It was quite horrific for me to listen to. But, if you weren't white in the 1950s the same value was not placed upon your life, especially worldwide.

In the last 30 years worldwide this has changed remarkably in places like India, for example. What drove this change?

It started with Steven Jobs and Bill Gates and others during the 1980s. The advantage places like India, Pakistan and Bangladesh had was that they spoke English. And being able to speak English if you were bright enough you could learn to become a computer programmer and start your own business in the U.S. or India or Pakistan.

Then starting in the 1980s because they could already speak English many East Indians and Pakistanis and Bangladeshis got tech degrees and started their own companies and began to help the lower castes of India get educated too. This changed everything in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh for many many people.

Also, many americans and Europeans traveled to India and Nepal especially and helped people a lot because mostly they had some college education and even financed the high school education of many people. My  now ex-wife and I even left money for two boys in REwalsar, India to receive an education. They were called Raju and Biju at the time. We were there in February 1986, for example. But we met bus drivers and ticket takers on buses who told us similar stories of Americans and Europeans leaving money so they could be educated. it didn't take much money from an American point of view. For example, it might just take buying school clothes so they would be allowed in a public school in their area. That's all. Or shoes so they would be admitted because barefoot wasn't going to fly.

So, all these many European and American and Canadian and other world travelers helped the children there a lot get educated more and more starting in the mid 1960s when this all began more until the present  and likely it is still ongoing.
