Uma Bharati groomed to take over BJP ?
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Bangalore: The cunning and crafty Govindacharya,
the black Brahmin friend of Backward Caste Lodha leader Uma Bharati,
has finally succeeded in giving a new leadership and saving the
sinking ship of Hindu terrorist party, BJP.
From the very beginning he was telling the party's Brahmin leadership
that SC/ST/BCs will not trust them as long they lead the party.
He was right — at least regarding the BCs. The massive March
21 Delhi rally by Uma Bharati proved it.
Brahmins pushed to wall: The Brahmana
Jati Party (BJP) was never trusted by the SC/ST/BCs,
particularly the Dalits. Muslims and Christians hate it. Yet
the party continued to be led by Brahmins and finally Vaidik
Vajpayee and the Sindhi Khatri, L.K. Advani, got it defeated
in the last parliamentary election.
The vaidiks are reading the clear writings on the wall and they
are also witnessing how power is slipping down to non-Brahmins,
particularly the BCs and SCs. Caste has come to the forefront.
No Brahmin can compete with caste strength as he has no strength
of numbers. The poor Brahmin is pushed to the wall.
Under India's parliamentary democracy, power goes with caste.
That means all the three twice-born castes — Brahmin,
Kshatriya, Vaishya — will have to say good-bye to vote
politics and sit at home. Vaidiks are
finished because they are just 3%. The other two are still worse.
That means both Vaidik Vajpayee and L.K. Advani days are over.
Some thinking vaidiks who have come
to this conclusion are understood to have finally groomed Uma to
take over BJP — though for all outward show they are giving
the impression of tormenting her so that she will gain more and
more BC followers and grows bigger and stronger.
But the vaidik brains do not understand
that neither the Lodha Uma nor her BC followers have given up their "caste
identity" she will only go on talking of Hindutva but quietly
and systematically strengthen her Lodha caste identity.
Caste brings vote: For that matter no leader
in BJP has given up his or her "caste identity". No political
leader has any big following outside his caste.
That is why Brahmin leaders like Pramod Mahajan, Arun Jaitley,
Sushma Swaraj etc. have no following. All these fellows will remain
only as manipulators. Caste is working up its way even inside the
pure Brahmana Jati Party.
The rise and rise of Uma chanting the hindutva mantra, donning
the sanyasin robe but at the same time strengthening her "caste
identity" is a new phenomenon in the Hindu terrorist party.

Terrorist leader Togadia admits danger of caste blocking "Hindu
unity"
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Bangalore: DV's "caste identity" thesis
has bagged the certificate from India's highest authority on the
subject — the Hindu terrorist party:
Erode (TN): Lack of unity among the Hindu society
separated by caste barriers has weakened its strength and has resulted
in various political parties lining up behind the minority communities
for their vote bank, said international general secretary of the
Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Praveen Togadia, here on March 19. He was
addressing the fifth State Hindu Resurgence Conference organised
by the VHP. (Hindu March 20, 2006).
Hindu unity impossible: Togadia admits that as
long as the caste exist there can be no "Hindu unity".
The Hindu terrorist parties since "independence" have
spent millions and billions of dollars to destroy our castes which
are our identiy. But finally the terrorists have admitted their
failure. Did we not say that caste is the best antidote to casteism
which is the other word for Hinduism? Did we not also say: Let
Hindu heroes go on singing their song of "Hindu unity" and
we will go on dividing and destroying Hindu unity by using our
caste weapon? As the Brahminical upper castes are controlling our
thoughts and trying to make us Hindu, it is not possible to finish
Hinduism and convince the victims of Hinduism that they are not
Hindu.
The best, the cheapest, easily available and yet the deadliest
weapon is caste.
DV discovered this weapon. And it is now sharpening this weapon.
The Hindu terrorists know the danger of caste killing them. But
the "educated" Dalits are not able to understand the
importance of caste. Or, are they criticising us to please their
masters?

Confusion on measuring "poverty"
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Bangalore: Even after the National Rural Employment
Guarantee Scheme was inaugurated with much fanfare by the Prime
Minister, confusion persists In identifying the below the poverty
line (BPL) people. The earlier parameters to define the BPL people
were abandoned and a new set was announced:
New Delhi: The Centre has notified 13 new parameters
for defining below poverty line (BPL) category of people in the
country. It has done away with the earlier definition based on
food calories or annual earnings.
The revised definition is based on landholding, type of dwelling,
clothing, food security, hygiene, capacity for buying commodities,
literacy, minimum wages earned by the household, means of livelihood,
education of children, debt, migration and priority for assistance.
The matter had been stayed by the Supreme Court and has now been
vacated, Union Minister for Rural Development Raghuvansh Prasad
Singh told Rajya Sabha on March 21, 2006.
Replying to a discussion on the functioning of his Ministry,
Mr. Singh said the earliest definition of BPL in 1979 was based
on consumption of 2,100 calories in urban areas and 2,400 calories
for rural areas. In 1991-92, a household with an annual income
of Rs. 11,000 was placed under the BPL category. In 1997, this
criterion was raised to Rs. 20,000 per annum. In 2002, it was
based on the 13 parameters. All village panchayats would have
to display the number of BPL at the panchayat-ghars or schools
for "transparency".
He said the National Rural Employment Guarantee Programme "guarantees" 100
days of employment during the lean season. So far in 181 districts
in 17 States 2.23 crore people had registered. (Hindu,
March 22, 2006).
Confusion on BPL: We can't say the confusion
on BPL is over. Because the application of the 14 parameters is
too complicated a task which is bound to lead to lot of mischief
giving room for the upper caste implementing authorities to prefer
their own people. But on the other hand accepting the time-tested
caste yardstick is not only simple and straight-forward but gives
no room for mischief. The feeling is that complications are deliberately
introduced on determining the BPL people to see that the fruits
of NREGS and other governmental schemes do not go to the deserving
people.
Even a child can make out who the poorest are in a village. Innumerable
government documents and commissions have identified the SC/STs
as the country's poorest. It needs no magnifying glass to find
out who the poor are in India. But the ruling class deliberately
creates confusion to see that SC/STs are overlooked. This has happened
in the Maharashtra REGS, which proved to be a failure, and it is
repeating with the NREGS. (Dalit Voice April 1, 2006 p.24: "Poorest
left out of NREGS in UP").

Question mark over zionist homeland
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Bangalore: We have received the happy news that
the centuries-old dream of the mighty zionists—who virtually
control the world, to illegally establish their homeland called
Israel on the land belonging to Arabs — stands shattered
before the humble human bombers of the puny Palestinians.
Every where the zionists are suffering setback after setback.
And the worst is the shattered dream of Greater Israel.
Gaza is already cleared of Jews. West Bank pull- out is expected
to begin after the March 28 election.
Third Intifada: The leader of the Kadima Party
which won the election, killer Sharon, is lying virtually dead
in hospital under coma. The different Israeli political parties
are quarreling, religious zionism fragmented. The whole Israeli
society itself stands fractured. George W. Bush, who spent his
whole presidential career to promote and protect the zionists,
is sinking. Every where the zionists are meeting with defeat.
If the zionist state continues to oppress the ruling Hamas and
the US and other Western nations obey the dictates of Israel to
punish the democratically elected Palestinian Govt., Hamas will
have no other alternative but to launch its third Intifada and
make the life of zionists more miserable.
Reports speak of terrible unrest and chaos within Israel and a
virtual fragmentation of its society.
Revolutionary Iran becoming a nuclear power and within the striking
distance, how can the Israelis get sound sleep?
The world has not seen a more blood-curdling incident of the illegal
zionist occupation of the Arab lands with full Western blessings.
The four-year-old concrete barrier it built to isolate Palestinians
was declared illegal by the World Court. But the zionists do not
care for UN, international law or public opinion.
Zionists have their own law just as the vaidiks have theirs in
India.
The concrete barrier has encircled the whole of Palestine whose
borders are controlled by zionists. How can such a Palestine with
its border under enemy control be called sovereign?
Palestinians are anyway suffering, dying and losing. They have
nothing more to lose. So they will be fully justified if they resume
the Intifada.

Hindi translaton of "Caste" book ready
OUR CORRESPONDENT
Bangalore: The Hindi translation of V.T. Rajshekar's
international award-winning book, Caste — A
Nation Within the Nation, now under print will be
out within a week.
The first reprint (2004) of the English edition (2002) is almost
sold out and a second revised edition is planned.
Its Kannada translation (2004) by Dr. Banjagere Jayaprakash, a
noted Kannada scholar, is almost sold out. A Malayalam translation
by Raju Thomas is getting ready. Other language editions are also
planned.
The Hindi translation by Rajinder Singh, a noted Hindi scholar
of Himachal Pradesh, will be able to meet the demand of eight states
in the Hindi belt. It will be released by Railway Minister
Lalu Prasad Yadav during the silver jubilee celebrations of Dalit
Voice in Delhi.
HOW BRAHMINS BECAME RULERS
The thesis of V.T. Rajshekar's book is that to destroy Brahminism — which
is the enemy No.1 of the entire oppressed billions of India (Dalits,
Muslims, BCs and Tribals, Christians, Sikhs, even Brahmins) —the
only way is to strengthen our identity which in the case of India
is our caste. In other words, to destroy Brahminism, which is the
other name for casteism — the author prescribes the best,
easiest and the readily available home-grown medicine of caste.
Every section of people either inside India or outside has progressed
and become the ruling class only by taking this one single route
of strengthening its identity. The best example for this is the
Brahmins and the Jews.
Before the Editor wrote his Caste book, Dalit Voice had a five-year
long debate and held 100 seminars in different parts of India.
DEMOCRACY STRENGTHENS CASTE
The bitterest and the most uncompromising opponents of the "caste
identity" thesis are the Brahmins. While they came up and
became the rulers only by strengthening their caste, they are brainwashing
all others to forget their caste and think of "class".
Some elite Dalits who have fallen prey to marxism because of Brahminical
brain-washing are criticising the Editor. But rural India, where
the big majority live, has no such confusion because everybody
here lives in his or her caste.
But fortunately the masses of SC/ST/BCs and Muslim/Christian/Sikhs
and even the shudra castes have not fallen prey to Brahminical
brainwashing. No caste is ready to give up its caste (identity).
Besides, parliamentary democracy, which is fast taking roots in
India, has brought caste (identity) to the forefront.Hindu terrorist
parties, including the Congress, the original Brahminical party
of India, are all one by one collapsing under the impact of caste.
Even marxist parties are today caste-based. Regional and caste-based
political parties are fast coming up killing "national" parties.
CROWNING OF CASTE
The typhoon of caste has swept away all the tiny obstructions.
Already Delhi has seen two coalition govts. The next election will
see the crowning of caste.
Hindu terrorist parties after realising that Brahmins and upper
castes have no political future, have already started grooming
SC/ST/BC leaders who are mobilising their respective castes using
the Hindutva brand.
CASTE YARDSTICK
The Brahminical people realising the danger of caste killing their
casteism (Brahminism) have started using some Dalits to criticise
the Editor but the speed with which parliamentary democracy is
taking roots has made caste as the sole deciding factor in India.
The Editor has now extended his thesis from socio-political sphere
to economics prescribing "caste yardstick" for planning
process to replace the existing discredited "poverty yardstick".
A book on this subject is under print.
The Caste books in English, Kannada and Hindi may be ordered directly
from the publishers (Books for Change, 139 - Richmond Road, Bangalore
- 560 025) or from DV office (Rs. 140).

LETTER TO EDITOR
Siva Tanuku (tanukus@gmail.com): Thanks for publishing
my email (DV March 1, 2006). I also read so many other DV articles
and happy to see so many wonderful points that I fully agree with.
However, I could not agree with your support to Islam and Christianity.
You can hate Hinduism and try to destroy it. We don't have any
problem. However, we don't see any hope when India becomes a country
of again 50% Muslims and 50% Christians because sectarian violence
will continue. As I told you before, we love you (however, we don't
fully understand why you support religions like Christianity and
Islam which are completely mess, better than Hinduism - without
castes), with all the blood they shed every day. Christian societies
are celebrities, rich, porn, gay, child abuse (Christian churches)
etc. Even though we like Christ (a great man), we can never agree
with Christian philosophy. Islam (please read Quran and sunnah)
is good when it comes to social respect of a common man and no
casteism. However, the history of Prophet Mohamed, his wives, the
battles, etc. can never be a good solutions for people who are
oppressed in other systems. In majority of Islamic countries only
very few people are rich and 90% living in poverty even with the
petrodollars they are getting. I can understand the social injustice
of Hinduism. But simply not taking into consideration issues within
the other systems and suggesting them as if they are good is a
bigger mistake and big weakness in the Dalit philosophy. Propose
a good alternatives to Hinduism, we will follow you. When I visit
India next, we would like to meet you.
****
Your Letter of March 16 came as a shock because It
is a big jump from your earlier position. Brahmins like you,
if you are exposed to facts, will definitely change. But the
whole problem with them is they are not ready to learn anything
new or forget anything old. See how you have changed. Your
question: Why Dalits love Christianity and Islam. The
answer is with the law of contradiction. We love everything
the Brahmin hates and hate everything the Brahmin loves. Simple.
Your frank admission of the social injustice of Hinduism is
great but there is a mischief in your plea to find "an
alternative to Hinduism". Sorry, there is no alternative
to a dilapidated, leaking house. It has to be dismantled and
destroyed. Alternative will emerge in course of struggle — EDITOR.
