The purpose of conditioning the delta babies to be afraid of books and roses
The delta babies especially lower caste, needed to be conditioned to hate books and roses so that they do not get diverted by love or knowledge, as they grow up.
They were conditioned to hate flowers, to decode their love of nature and to hate books to avoid wasting time.
They were required to perform the functions assigned to them for the proper functioning of the delta society.
