P.J.Cherian Implants American Political Ideology at Pattanam Archaeological Site

 100th Exposure Against an International Archaeological  Conspiracy

P.J.Cherian has described  Pattanam as a multi cultural site. In the archaeological context any site is multicultural in the sense  the unearthed  remains provide a wide range of antiquities. But the term multicultural is never used in archaeological context. In the  theoretical sense multiculturalism developed in the America as a movement for demand of cultural pluralism  in U.S. society. In the 1950’s during the  cold war,  the United States opened its doors for political refugees from Communist countries such as Hungary and Cuba. Later during the civil rights movement and demand for more cultural pluralism in the United States, a new immigration Law in 1965 opened the doors  for immigration  into US from different parts of the world. Like the nineteenth century immigrants from Europe, the majority of these immigrants  have come to US  seeking economic opportunities and political freedom. Since  White Anglo-Saxon Protestants , generally known as  WASPs  have dominated US society for generations,  the Italians and Poles were subjected to most barbarian  discrimination and prejudice. Racism and anti-Catholicism was also developing at the time. An anglo-Saxon based racism in 1880’s  and 1890s  grew in the US as a reaction to  the immigration of  southern and eastern Europeans. Ethnic tension has still remained an important issue in America.It has also led to revision of curriculum in educational programmes.
