| Pratip Kar: Vulgarity in executive compensation ? a point of view | 12-OCT-09 |
|
| The meaning of a word is intrinsically connected to its definition. It is determined fully by how we choose to define it. Since we have chosen to define the day as the period of time which elapses between sunrise and sunset, we call that time the day; we could have reversed the definition and called it night. We have elected to call a colour green, so it is called green, we could name it red as well. Take the word vulgar for example. What is vulgar would depend very much on how we opt to define it. Would we in India call the Khajuraho sculptures, or those which adorn the walls of some of our temples, vulgar? Well we may hesitate to do so and try and find a convincing spiritual rationale for it. But someone else from another land may not agree, since his definition of vulgarity is different. |
