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.
