In an article in The Times of India, I read the following attributed to Lenin:
"In general, as you probably know, I am not particularly fond of
intelligentsia, and our new slogan 'eliminate illiteracy' should by no means be
taken as expressing a wish to give birth to a new intelligentsia. To 'eliminate
illiteracy' is necessary only so that every peasant, every worker can read our
decrees, orders and appeals by himself without anyone's help. The goal is
purely practical. That's all there is to it".
Can someone with the necessary knowledge confirm that this is correct. The
author of the article where the quote is taken from is a former chairman of
State Bank of India.
