Endnotes:
[1]: The Varna is the Hindu social caste system, in which priests are the highest rank, then followed by warriors, then come tradesmen and craftsmen, and then at the bottom come the respect-less slaves. Refer to Lahiri.
[2]: "Music or "music and poetry" and "physical training" are more transliterations than translations of mousiké and gymnastiké, which have no English equivalents. It is clear from Plato's discussion, for example, that mousiké includes poetry and stories, as well as music proper, and that gymnastiké includes dance and training in warfare, as well as what we call physical training. The aims of mousiké and gymanstiké are characterized at 522a" (Qtd. in Plato, p.33).
[3]: Pedophilia is a Latin term given for sexual inclination towards children.
[4]: HJ stands for Hitlerjugend a.k.a. Hitler Youth. Refer to "Hitler Youth".
[5]: Huxley's social hierarchy consists of alphas on the top, then come betas, gammas, deltas, and epsilons in the bottom. Refer to Huxley's Brave New World, Chapter # 2.
[6]: Plato describes the discussion between Socrates and Thrasymachus the sophist in the beginning of the Republic. Although the opinion stating that "justice is the advantage of the stronger" was a sophist motto, Plato showed his advocacy to Socrates' rebuttal of this opinion.
