BJP : Brahminism to show its true face
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: What a pity that in India neither the Brahminical rulers (15%) are happy nor its victims —the indigenous Bahujan slaves (85%).

In our Editorial of Aug.1, 2004, "Brahminism faces worst crisis", we had referred to the plight of the 3% Brahmins and their upper caste (Hindu) followers.

The country's topmost vaidik idol, A.B. Vajpayee, praised and paraded in India and outside, has been thrown out by the RSS, country's principal vaidik organisation itself. Because it holds him responsible for the defeat of their Brahmana Jati Party (BJP).

Anti-BJP wave: Though the party was controlled by L.K. Advani, who is closer to RSS, Vajpayee and his crooks sidelined the Sindhi Khatri and converted BJP into another Congress Party. Such a total deviation from the "Sacred Brahmin" line laid down by Golwalkar, the philosopher of the RSS caused total confusion in the country.

Muslims anyway voted against the BJP. And even Dalits and other forces opposed to Brahminical line of the BJP voted against it. It was not a pro-Congress vote but the people's disgust with BJP that threw the party out.

In other words it was a total defeat for fake Brahminism as we said in our Aug.1 Editorial. That is why the vaidik blue-eyed boy, Vajpayee, was finally kicked out. The disgusted Vajpayee is not even attending the Lok Sabha session. Poor fellow is fading out.

Why this crisis: We have to now see how the RSS will re-shape BJP on the Golwalkar model. Now that the RSS has forced BJP to "go back to ideology" (meaning Brahminism), how can it attract the votes?

The country's principal Brahminical party is in a total mess. The Bahujans, victims of Brahminism, have been in a permanent mess. Both the sides of the divide are in crisis. That means the country itself is in crisis? Is the system collapsing?
Yes, it is. Politics will reflect what is happening in the society. The country is facing a socio-cultural crisis. This is reflected in politics.


Palestine: Meaning of New World Order
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The West specially America teaches democracy and the rule of law to the whole world but when the International Court of Justice in the Hague recently ruled that the 115-mile fence the zionist state of Israel is building is illegal, violates international law and hence must be pulled down, the democracy-mongers are mum.

The zionists and their Western supporters may escape saying the World Court ruling is just advisory. But the court took up the case at the direction of the UN General Assembly, meaning the world itself.
The tiny zionist state of Israel is dictating to America which is dancing to its tunes. The zionists are not worried about the Hague ruling. They are confident America will save their country by vetoeing any direction of the Security Council which alone has the power to enforce the decision of the Court.

Israel is aggressor: The UN General Assembly on July 21 voted in support of the World Court verdict. All the 25 countries under the European Union, except America and Australia, voted against it.
The UN General Assembly and even the Security Council have consistently stood by Palestine, the victim of Israeli aggression. That clearly shows that Justice and Truth are behind Palestine. And Israel is the aggressor.

But as long as the world's sole super power is controlled by its 3% Jews, we can't expect America to support democracy, Justice and Truth. This is the meaning of the "New World Order".


Neo-Cons shift from Bush to Kerry?
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Neo-Cons (read pro-zionists), controlling America, have quickly shifted from George Bush to John Kerry indicating that the latter is winning the presidential election. We have already hinted at the Kerry victory. (DV Aug.1, 2004 p.27: "Fall of Bush confirmed").

Kerry's brother visited the zionist state of Israel in the middle of July and his trip was sponsored by the powerful US Jewish lobby which controls the American govt., finance, its parliament, entire media, the World Bank and even the UN. Jews form just 3% of US population but they decide the fate of US.

Kerry has not yet made his stand clear on the zionist state but has already criticised Palestinian President Yasser Arafat saying that he is an obstacle to peace. Jews are pouring money into Kerry campaign with the hope of taking him the Bush way. They are very much worried that Kerry may reverse Bush policy on Israel.

If that happens the fall of America will gather speed and the world will witness bigger and bloodier war and violence. But indications are that Kerry agenda on Israel will be different. We have to wait.

Even at the final presidential nomination day on July 30, Kerry did not speak out his mind. May be he feared defeat if he criticised Israel.


Al Jazeera beats BBC, CNN
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Al Jazeera, the Arabic language TV channel which interviewed our Editor, V.T. Rajshekar, when he was based in Delhi in 1999, is eight years old. Already this infant has beaten the world's powerful TV channels like the BBC, CNN, Fox News etc. Congratulations.

The anti-Muslim bias of India's Hindu rulers is evident from the refusal of permission to open its office in Delhi.

The channel is funded by the ruler of Qatar but he has given it full freedom unlike the American and other Western rulers who talk of freedom of the press but do everything to scuttle it.

World media power: Al Jazeera has shown to the world what the world media power means though its enemies go on dubbing it as the voice of Osama bin Laden. The Arab world is suffering the worst kind of war and violence at the hands of America and Britain. Al Jazeera has become the voice of the bleeding Arabs, helping them to know the Truth. It is planning an English channel and we have no doubt of its success.

We congratulate the Arab world's most celebrated TV and request them to spare a thought to India's Dalits, the Black Untouchables, groaning under India's Brahminical rulers.


Editor's "caste identity" book sold out:publishing record
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Editor V.T. Rajshekar's latest book, Caste — A Nation Within the Nation, propounding a revolutionary theory of "caste identity" to fight and destroy Brahminism, the Enemy No.1 of Indians, is sold out within two years, establishing a record in publishing industry. It is published by Books for Change, part of a reputed international organisation. The "caste identity" thesis is the result of over a decade-long research on India's different castes (ethnic identities) and how the power of each caste can be used by strengthening its identity. Each empowered caste after it recovers its lost human rights in proportion to its population can effectively fight the menace of Brahminism that is hindering the progress of India.

Parliament election: The latest Parliament election results have proved the efficacy of this thesis when such empowered castes killed casteism, which is the other name for Brahminism. That means the common, unlettered masses of India are already the masters of this thesis. The doubters are only among the "educated" and elite Dalits. Dalit Voice held its longest ever (five year) Debate on this subject giving the fullest scope to its opponents, mainly the minority Brahminical forces who used to instigate some sections of Dalits against the thesis. After the successful DV Debate, the subject was discussed at a series of seminars in different parts of India. Today there is hardly any opposition from the oppressed castes. Later the subject was discussed at four state-level DV Dalit readers workshops at Bangalore, Lucknow, Bhubaneswar and the latest at Shimla. No opposition was found at any workshop.

Vaidik opposition:However, the micro-minority vaidik forces continue to oppose the thesis because they are the only people who know that it strikes at the very root of their Brahminism.

As this is written an Internet discussion is going on between highly placed Dalit elites in India and abroad. As they are far removed from the reality of Indian rural life but closer to Brahminical forces, they have naturally succumbed to Brahminical influence and hence they oppose the Editor's thesis. DV is India's largest circulated journal of Dalits and there is hardly any opposition from its Dalit readers. It is only those who have never read DV and our book who are criticising the Editor. If the Editor is "dividing" the Dalits why DV members are not saying it?

Bloodless revolution: Thus the thesis has passed all tests including the opposition from Brahmins. "Caste identity" is our Editor's greatest contribution to the development of Dr. Ambedkar's thoughts and has the potential of bringing about a bloodless revolution in India.The vaidik rulers are suppressing any public discussion on this subject fearing its mortal blow on Brahminism. The Editor is now studying the possibilities of extending his thesis from social spheres to economic sectors.

Agriculture scientists' conspiracy to turn into Sahara desert ?
OUR CORRESPONDNET

Bangalore: Following the publication of our two articles — "M.S. Swaminathan mystery needs probe" (DV July 1, 2004 p.27) and "Frauds of the notorious father of green Revolution" (DV July 16, 2004 p.7) — we have received fresh evidences of the Brahminical conspiracy to destroy the Indian agriculture and thereby the farmers — the backbone of the country's economy — in collaboration with American business interests.

During our recent two visits to Punjab, which is now reeling under a serious water crisis, we heard two names often being mentioned as the culprits and conspirators. They are former Union Agriculture Minister, C. Subramaniam, a shudra Gounder from Coimbatore, and Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, a Tamil Iyer, on whom we have written enough.

Anti-Sikh conspiracy: It is these two people who introduced rice cultivation, which needs too much water, in Punjab fit only for wheat. The Punjab farmers knew nothing of rice cultivation for which they were encouraged to import Dalits and BC labour from UP and Bihar.

The conspiracy is to reduce the population of Sikhs whom the Hindus hated. The influx of Dalits not only led to frequent clashes but made the Sikh farmers depend upon Dalits. The current Jat Sikh-Dalit clashes are attributed to this growing demographic imbalance. More than that, the water-starved Punjab had to go for water-intensive rice cultivation leading to frequent water dispute with neighbouring states finally culminating in the latest decision of the Punjab Govt. now referred to the Supreme Court.

The upper caste "agriculture scientists", who had never any practical experience of farming like Swaminathan, conspired to destroy the Indian agriculture in the name of "Green Revolution" which itself died a natural death long back, unsung, unwept. They misled the innocent farmers to use hybrid seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides etc. and their cousins quickly started factories to manufacture these destructive chemicals with govt. subsidy.

The same breed of scientists, who destroyed the Indian agriculture yesterday, are back today under the leadership of Swaminathan "to provide solution to the grave agrarian crisis" which they themselves had once created. If these crooks parading as scientists are given a free hand, India is sure to turn into a vast Sahara desert. Beware of the Swaminathans.


Shimla excels all previous DV workshops
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The fourth DV readers workshop for its senior-most Dalit family members held at Shimla from July 9 to 11, 2004 was also a big success. In fact one workshop is surpassing the other and attracting more and more members.

The Shimla workshop was attended by 35 members from the six states of Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and also Delhi. The Editors of DV and its Hindi and Punjabi editions were also present.

The greatness of the workshop is unlike the country's other dailies and periodicals, Dalit Voice is not a business but constitutes a vast fighting family of crusaders for social justice: soldiers of the Father of India, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. That is why there is so much of rush to attend the workshop but we restrict the attendance for the following reasons.

  1. It is a worskhop and not a public meeting. Only seniormost members are selected.
  2. As we go in for a cheap but good place to fit into our limited budget, we have to restrict the attendance.

Like all the previous workshops, Shimla also did not have women — confirming the charge that Dalit movement is an all-male affair. Two lady students of Himachal Pradesh University attended just half a day.

Discipline was good. Enthusiasm was fantastic. As representatives of the lowest of the country's low, it was extremely heartening to note that they love Dalit Voice. And more than that the Editorial line of the DV was immensely liked and there was not even one differing voice. DV is read from cover to cover and religiously preserved.

Punjab being the most important of the six states naturally it stole the attention at the workshop because of the brewing tension between the Dalits and Jat Sikhs. The decision arrived to resolve this contradiction is already published. (DV Aug.1, 2004 2004 p.20: Paradox of Punjab"). A separate story appears on p.

The credit for the success of Shimla workshop goes to Subhash Chand Musafir and Ramesh Kumar Tirdia. We need hundreds of such dedicated souls.

Efforts are being made to hold the next workshops at Bhopal for MP, Bombay for Western Maharashtra.


Real face of Hindu Dharma
OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The "Vrindavan widow" is a top secret. Nobody has talks about the hundreds of women rotting and dying a slow death at Vrindavan because most of them are Brahmin and other upper caste (Hindu) women. If they are women (is there a doubt about it?) why no women's organisations (we have hundreds of them in India) cry about the slow death of their fellow women?

The secret is they are all Brahmin and upper caste. And hence the silence and the secrecy. What if they are upper caste? Are they not still women? Is it not the duty of a women's organisation to take up the cause of women?

Yes. This is right. But in India right or wrong, justice or injustice goes with the jati you represent. The "Vrindavan widows" are upper caste and they are dumped there as per the jati dharma or Hindu dharma. Nobody has the right to question the Hindu Dharma because this Dharma is above the law of the land. Nay, the very Constitution of India.

But the same Hindu heart melts for Muslim women.

That is why all those injustices, crimes and violent incidents, pollution of society and rivers, noise, social malpractices and frauds perpetrated in the name of Hindu Dharma are never questioned in this country. Even our scientists, writers and political leaders will not utter a word when it comes to the damage caused in the name of Hindu Dharma.The "Vrindavan widows" may be victims of Hindu Dharma. So also widow burning (sati).

The thousands and thousands of prostitutes working and dying in the "Bombay right light" area are also women. But our women's organisations — we call them fashionable feminists —do not bother about them.

So much so, Bombay has become the world's largest flesh market. Now, we get a report from Washington that Americans are planning a film on Vrindavan. Will the Hindu Dharma allow them to film the "Vrindavan widows"? Our DV family members living close to Vrindavan may write to us.

American film on Vrindavan widows
Washington: Three Americans are making a film, reportedly starring Raveena Tandon, on the plight of Hindu widows in the Northern Indian pilgrim town of Vrindavan. They hope the world will see, care about and act on the film titled White Rainbow, as they were themselves moved to see the desperate and helpless widows and the life of penury they lead. The Mandrayars own Dharlin Entertainment, an independent film production company that makes movies in conjunction with two India-based companies.Dharan Mandrayar grew up in the film making industry in India and wrote the script for White Rainbow. He learned about Vrindavan when his son read a novel about a 13-year-old widow banished to the Hindu holy city of Vrindavan. At first, he didn't believe it. After all, his mother was a widow and she wasn't mistreated. But after researching the issue and eventually visiting Vrindavan, he learned it was true. "I saw widows in really miserable conditions", he said. "There's no joy in their singing. They're real mournful. They wee in poor health and not well kept. Everything we read and heard about seemed to be true in worse ways than we imagined", Dharan wrote in the San Diego Union Tribune. Dharan said some Indians have told him not to make the film because it will show India in a bad light. But he thinks it is a human rights issue that needs to be addressed and talked about. Linda Mandrayar and Kirby are producing the film. Since July, they have been seeking investors in a limited-liability corporation to raise the $1.25 million needed to make it. They need about $300,000 more. The film will be shot in India in December and January. The main character in White Rainbow is Raveena Tandon. The well-known Bollywood heroine will play the lead role of Priya, an educated and affluent widow who flees to Vrindavan to escape her in-laws, who despise her. She befriends three women, whom she teaches to read and write and helps them get their government pensions, which are often stolen from widows. The film will tell the four women's stories and what they do to help the other widows of Vrindavan.
