London bombs : Who & why?
Brig. (RETD.) USMAN KHALID, 3 -BLACKLANDS DRIVE, HAYES, MDDX, UB4 8EU, U.K.

Like in the case of 9/11, all the inquiries into the bomb blasts in London on 7/7 are attended by media hysteria but little investigation. In any crime investigation, the first question is who benefits? Immediately after 9/11 the world press noted and reported that a massive unloading of shares of airlines and insurance companies took place on New York stock exchange just before the attack on twin towers in New York. It was thought that it would be a simple matter to identify the masterminds if the investigators had followed the trail of that massive stock sale. But the media, after reporting it once, became strangely silent. It failed to follow the trail that must now be cold.

Those who carried out the 7/7 bombing were identified quickly as they all had their identity and return tickets on them. But that also shows they did not expect to go on a suicide mission; they hoped to place a time bomb and walk away. They were British-born and three of them were of Pakistani origin. They knew there could be backlash against their community. They should have taken measures to conceal their identity in death unless they hoped to live. Clearly, the masterminds wanted to establish a connection with Pakistan. The Indian media has not stopped gloating over Pakistan being in the dock but the international media is as yet reticent. British intelligence and police said they were caught unawares but the Israeli Finance Minister who was in London that day was warned not leave his hotel. Like in the case of 9/11, there is little doubt about who carried out the suicide bombings, the doubt is about who masterminded. That mastermind could be no other than the state that stands to benefit the most from such horrendous suicide missions.

Shifting attention: There is indeed anger among Muslims all over the world against the US and the UK for the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq in violation of the UN Charter and the international law but there is even more anger among Muslims against their own rulers who are more eager to appease Bush and Blair than to save the life, honour and assets of Muslims who are being wantonly struck or imperilled in so many countries. Despite having become rich and influential, the long Arab nose is rubbed into dust by the tiny Israel with impunity every day. The poor peoples and countries have put up with exploitation and oppression for centuries. That does not lead to instability; it is done to establish or restore order and it does. But Israel is piling humiliation on affluent Arabs and resurgent Islam. That is destabilising to the extreme.

The result of 7/7 would be to shift focus from terrorism in the Middle East to terrorism in South Asia; that is what makes it a watershed. Whether its is by design or by accident makes little difference. The invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq have not led to American victory but the Middle East would be in turmoil for decades. Resistance to occupation would keep America engaged in the Middle East for a long time. That would take the heat off Israel but all the cost, in money, lives and lost prestige would be borne by America. In the wake of 7/7, America is bound to discover that India is eager to play the policeman and bear the cost in money, lives and lost prestige that attends it. It is ready to make mischief in South Asia, Central Asia and South East Asia on US behalf. As the joint communique following the visit to the US by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh indicates, all the mischief would be made in the name of fighting terrorism and spreading democracy just like Israel. India would get financial reward as does Israel. But does India want to be another Israel?

Suicide bombing — is it unIslamic ?
BRIG. USMAN KHALID

Tony Blair has said that the West is not engaged in clash of civilisations; it is fighting an evil ideology (meaning Islam). The community leaders of the British Muslims have been saying ad infinitum that Islam is a religion of peace and the suicide bombers of 7/7 are criminals outside the pail of Islam. The eagerness of the both sides to avoid blame is understandable, but the dialogue of the deaf precludes understanding when, from the Muslim viewpoint, resistance and war (usually called Jihad) is legitimate and when it is not. It is also a hurdle in the way of preventing the recurrence of such incidents. In Muslim statecraft, countries are classified into three categories. A country where the Muslims enjoy sovereign power as well as cultural freedom is called Darul- Islam. A country where the Muslims are not sovereign but they do enjoy cultural freedom is called Darul-Aman (house of peace). A country where they are not sovereign but are discriminated against and face danger to their life, honour and property, is called Darul-Harb (house of war). The Muslims are forbidden to take up arms in or against a country that is Darul-Islam or Darul-Aman. It is a crime in Islam for a Muslim to take up arms against Britain because it is Darul-Aman. Not just suicide bombing, the use of any weapon or tactics in the UK or against the British people is a crime. But every country is not Darul-Aman. Upon the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the country has become Darul-Harb. Resistance by the people of Iraq is legitimate not only under Islam but also under international law. Besides, the states that are Darul-Islam have a duty to help the resistance and even wage a war on the occupiers. The anger among Muslims is not as much against Britain and America as against Muslim rulers who have been unable or unwilling to raise their voice let alone defend the hapless Muslims who have been subjected to wanton violence on unprecedented scale in Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Iraq and Afghanistan. When the leaders of Muslim countries (or MPs representing Muslim communities in Britain) fail to voice the anger being felt by those they represent, and are content with condemning the suicide bombers as terrorists, they intensify the rage among their constituents and destabilise the country.

DEBATE:
Casteist communists flare up when caste question is raised
S. SINGHA CHOWDHURY, RAMA KRISHNA PALLY, PO D.S. LANE, HOWRA DT. - 711 109

The moment Dr. Anand Teltumbde said:

"Pardon me, but if you persist with your logic (of caste identity), should not someone ask you your caste identity?" (DV July 16, 2005 p.7: "Socialist Brahmin calls DV casteist").

The person questioned has no reason to conceal his caste if he supposed himself in the broad groups of castes bracketed in "the Dalit slot". If he is "Shetty", he should be proud of his caste as Dr. Ambedkar was a "proud Mahar". Those people who are actually in the Dalit slot and who are shy to reveal their "caste identity" are virtually those who have been vanquished due to caste-tyranny so far as their "caste identity" is concerned.

Personal attack: In the first phase they had been conquerred by brute force, in the second they had been made mince-meat by a high tide of criminal culture, called Hinduism. So much so, they conceal their identity (which has no other existence except in the caste in Indian text of culture and context of history) to avoid invocation of contempt by caste lords and load of shame heaped on them through ages. They are actually our sanskritised (hinduised or Brahminised) so-called modernists who are intellectually bamboozled to believe that caste can be killed by maintaining a shrewd silence over it when it is mentioned in the public.

The moment Dr. Teltumbde spurns in derision V.T. Rajshekar's "caste identity" theory in term of personal attack, he betrays himself as one who has as yet failed to adequately grasp its implication, which, it is hoped, would create many cross-currents of self-confidence in the dying castes (but not yet dead under the hills of the caste-lords) who would be handed out of ignominy of the caste system as it is in India today. End result of identity: They would regenerate from their degenerate position, look back to each other, walk up and down to unite themselves in mighty, massive gigantic force in a movement to make it a gargantuan entity to make India a modern country sweeping in all fronts with creative appetite. This is the end result of "caste identity" of those who had been made into moribund mass of inactive mould under the loads of shame of their own names, their caste identity. They are ready to reject their imposed names.

These unified force of "castless people" on the consciousness of their all being exploited will annihilate the "caste Hindus".

As I try to recall, it is perhaps Dubois who in his India's history, religion, culture etc. mentioned that one community in the South was branded in the 18th century as a "thief caste", the meaning of their indigenous linguistic name being exactly that. Bengal's Daku, Dakua, Chutia, Chuar/Chooar, Lodhas, all smack of criminal smell. The Chandals are now Namasudras. The Koibartas are aquatic animals.

What provoked Teltumbde: If Dr. Teltumbde considers himself a marxist, he owes an answer to my question. On what reasonable ground the lot of people known as marxists can assess castes of India as superstructure? If none has, as far as I know, directly argued in favour of viewing caste-structure as superstructure, then the reviewer of Teltumbde book is right to guess their meaning when the Indian marxists say caste would disappear as soon as class-based revolution would be successful in India.

Do the marxists thereby not assert that caste/caste system has been generated in capitalist era? Do the caste, caste system and casteism associated with them not pose insuperable road-blocks against the formation of class?

As soon as you raise the caste question in India, you are tainted (as Namboodiripad did to our Editor) with being casteist.

To point out the caste privileges enjoyed by the upper castes, including our upper caste marxists, will bring you the charge of being a casteist.

This is what provoked our marxist Teltumbde.

Marx call to abolish caste: But those who shrewdly go on enjoying the privileges, those who would not allow caste question to be brought before public criticism, those who go on enjoying caste-based exploitation secretly (branded by Lenin as psychological exploitation) etc. are not casteists.

Did not Marx himself call upon the communists to "abolish" caste system which, he said, would not allow even democracy in India to succeed? Dr. Teltumbde has to answer these questions?

DEBATE:
Dalit elites hate Editor because he is hurdle to their business
K. PRAKASH, TGT(M), JAWAHAR NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA, CHIKKAJOGIHALLI, BELLARY DT. - 583 126

Dalit Voice July 16, 2005 is filled with "Debates". You have rightly analysed Mayawati's sudden love for Brahmins. Equally you must be careful that the Brahmins don't take the control of Mayawati's policies. As for a "Socialist Brahmin" dubbing you a casteist, I feel like making you aware of the truth. (DV July 16, 2005 p. 9: "Socialist Brahmin calls DV casteist").

Casteism is basically high in the Brahmin community and yet they show themselves as liberals. Whereas Dalits and Bahujans are casteist only during elections but liberals all through their life. Unfortunately they are dubbed casteist. Probably you saw the reality and wrote the book, Caste — A Nation Within the Nation (Books for Change, Bangalore, 2004). The society cannot digest this hard truth which was hidden till now. Hence you are undoubtedly a "casteist" for having exposed the truth.

But "truth" is always bitter and the person who tells the truth is seen as a traitor. Your career in journalism and your consciousness does not permit you to tell a sweet lie. Hence don't get upset about Teltumbde's critical remarks.

The creamy layer of Dalits and Bahujans churned out by Ambedkarism are exploiting their unfortunate brothers. Yourself being a big hurdle for them, they want to get rid of you. Hence you have become a casteist. Simple.

Brahmins & Dalits: When I read your Editorial of July 16, 2005 "Brahmins are bad masters but good servants", as a Brahmin I was deeply hurt. But after some self-realization, truth began to dawn upon me. We need to distinguish between the real Brahmins and the virtual Brahmins. A real Brahmin is the one who has attained salvation through his thirst for knowledge of the universe and made himself a slave of the almighty. Once he is a slave, he is under the control of the almighty.

If he has to make a living then it is possible only by his service to the humanity. Hitherto the Brahmins served the administrators and traders. But the foreign rule showed that our administration and trade was dependent on the Manu Dharma and lost itself to others. However, the Brahmins turned themselves virtual saying goodbye to the knowledge and salvation. Besides, they began to serve the alien rulers for their livelihood. Having become trusted servants, all the alien rulers preferred the Brahmins in govt. jobs.

Only after "independence", the real challenge has came to the Brahmins. As the virtual Brahmins are dependent on Manu Dharma, no administrator or trader wants their service. Hence they are easily available to shudras who want to dominate the society by enslaving the Dalits. However, the awareness in Dalits makes the Brahmin's tricks difficult.

As ultimate saviours, the Dalits look for the service of the Brahmins. But if the Brahmin to serve them is a virtual one, very soon the Dalits will get divided and the Brahmins become the master. However, if they identify the real Brahmin for their service, then the centuries-old exploitation of Dalits may altogether end.

Instigated by Brahmins
Dr. V.D. CHANDANSHIVE, COTTAGE VAISHAILI, SHAHU NAGAR, NANDED - 431 605

I was pained to read Dr. Teltumbde's personal attack on you, inspite of the fact that he knews about your magnanimity of admiring him as an "honest intellectual".

That is how our people behave after being instigated by Brahmins. Propelled and projected by Brahmins, our so-called intellectuals lose all sense of responsibility and make sweeping statements putting on the garb of prophets, sitting on the slippery wave of popularity provided temporarily by their mentors. Such examples are plenty among Maharashtra Ambedkarites.

DEBATE
Hitler saved Germany from economic disaster
CURTis MAYNARD, 507 - EAST E. MOSCOW, IDAHO, 83843, USA

I received a copy of the Dalit Voice and the book by V.T. Rajshekar, Brahminism (DSA-2003). I enjoyed reading both. As a White American I am fairly ignorant of Indian politics but am familiar with the caste system and the obvious inequities associated with it. Because of my ignorance I had some difficulty navigating around the many issues. So I hope you will forgive me if some of my views clash with your own.

I had read the article, "Hitler not worst villain of 20th century as painted by zionists" (DV June 16, 2005 p.11) and of course I agree completely with the author's premise. I was very surprised to see that article in a dissident Indian publication/website, but am glad that it was there.

I think it is very important that the world understand Hitler better than it does today.

I learnt a great deal by reading the Brahminism book. This small minority is in fact responsible for the intellectual stagnation on the subcontinent. I understood why it is that the Brahmins sought to keep the Dalits uneducated and under their religious spell.

Iqbal Ahmed Shariff understands the problems we have here in the West better than most Americans. The article by Kaj Krinsmoe, "Zionists devouring Christian West" (DV June 16, 2005 p.27) was likewise very, very insightful almost prophetically so.

Krinsmoe clearly understands the unbelievable power and influence of the zionist's and their Jewish American fifth column here in the US. He also alludes to the fact that the media is in zionist (read Jewish) hands. This monopoly has strangled all public dissent much as the Brahmins have done in India.

The majority of Americans are no longer fooled by Bush's lies. After 9/11, the entire nation backed him but after nearly four years of lies the public is fed up, he has no credibility left. Tens of millions of Americans now believe George Bush cheated in the elections of 2004 and was not legitimately elected. Tens of millions of Americans believe George Bush and Israel orchestrated 9/11. In fact, this distrust extends to the recent London bombings where many Americans and Brits too believe the London bombing were also orchestrated by the real axis of evil, Bush, Blair and Israel.

Krinsmoe is also true that "Bush and Blair are ineluctably divulging zion's diabolical nature". And that "an attack on Iran will only amplify understanding of this". An attack on Iran will fully expose the lies of the current US Govt., Blair's and the zionist entity. It is difficult for the rest of the world to see America's dissatisfaction with Bush as the media won't divulge it, it ignores this dissent and pumps nothing but propaganda into the homes of Americans. Despite this, half of America is beginning to see Bush for what he is, an unrepentant liar and an evil man.

I agree also with Krinsmoe's analysis of Putin, a man, according to Krinsmoe that saved Russia from becoming a "Barbie puppet show" like Washington. The US today is muck like Weimer Germany was in 1920 completely at the mercy of Jews and their Shabbat Goyim (read puppets).

I note from your Brahminism book, that Jews and the Brahmins have joined hands. This is a serious mistake for everyone involved and I do mean everyone. The Israeli's are masters of intrigue and they have the power and influence of Washington fully behind them, not to mention the military as evidenced by Iraq. Aside from that they have an almost bottomless pool of money through international finance.

While Israel appears to be siding with the Brahmins they are entrapping Brahmins in scandals which they can later hold against them, they do this all of the time to American politicians, businessmen, scientists, academics etc. While Israel appears to be siding with India they are in fact providing Pakistan with nuclear weapons technology. The Israelis want India and Pakistan to exchange nuclear weapons in a war, it is a win-win scenario for them, Pakistan is a Muslim country with the bomb and they don't care if hundreds of millions of Indians die. The zionists are evil incarnate.

As a doctoral student at the University of Idaho, I have written a piece explaining the way the Jewish media here deceives Americans and the world. Their media monopoly extends of course into Europe and the Oligarch's made a serious effort to corner the media market in Russia during the 1990s. Had it not been for Putin this monopoly would now be absolute. You see we have our shudras here in the US too, they will do whatever the zionists want for nothing more than a bone to chew on. They are scum, bumlickers as you say.

Weimer Germany was facing the very same problem we have here in the US, the Jews had monopolized many aspects of German life, the newspapers, academics, sciences, medicine, German culture as well as the Weimer Govt. which was saturated with Jewish traitors that didn't care for Germany or the German people only themselves. It is for this reason that National Socialism arose in Germany almost in a reactionary sense. The Germans (like Americans now) had become aware of the fact that they no longer controlled their own fate and began to resent it. The German people began to understand that they were powerless, their govt. acted against the will of the German people and acted in the best interests of others. Hitler offered them some respite, an ability to untangle themselves from the Jewish menace and the unholy provisions of the Treaty of Versailles.

Hitler's greatest sin may have been that he excluded Jews from German society altogether by enacting the Nuremberg Laws, proving by 1939 that a nation's economy could not only survive without Jews, it could indeed flourish. This was verboten, in that the world must constantly and forever be under the impression that Jews play an important role in economics as middlemen.

Everyone knows that Hitler saved Germany from economic disaster, hyper-inflation, astronomical unemployment etc,. but few know exactly how he did it. A large part of this salvation was the result of excluding Jews from German society and economic life and later confiscating their ill-gotten wealth something that a nazionalized and even democratic India might well do with Brahmin wealth/land.

The reality of the situation in Germany in the 1920s is very similar to what happened in Russia in the 1990s, International Jews created the climate necessary through reparations and many other schemes to appropriate the wealth of Germany. In 1933, Hitler assumed power and by 1939 (6 years) Germany was Europe's greatest economic powerhouse — now how does one explain that?

Shariff's article is notable in that it reveals that the Americans and Jews altered history's image of Hitler who he really was and what he did. That is very try — they did it in exactly the same way the Brahmins turned India into an intellectual wasteland, through propaganda, indoctrination and lies.

The Jews have in fact successfully lobbied to get laws enacted in Europe that criminalize criticism of Jews and/or honest research of the so-called "holocaust". I currently have a friend in prison in Germany facing five years for "defaming the memory of the dead", (read holocaust revisionism). These laws are beginning to be passed in Canada, tomorrow the Jews will go after America where the Bill of Rights still protects us somewhat.

As Shariff rightly says, "Hitler was not against Jews alone, he was against all exploitative anti-Germans, Freemasons, liberals, communists." I have to take exception with Sharif's accusation that Hitler was against socialists, as socialism was an inherent aspect of nazism (national socialism and played a major role in the early years of the nazi movement. In the same sense, Hitler was not anti-Catholic, he was ardently against the Church (Catholic or Protestant) playing an active and subversive role in German politics. Take into consideration contemporary charismatic Christianity in the United States – these fools are nothing more than Christian-zionists and have far too much power in the US Govt. now. Truth to be told — the US and the world would benefit from their exclusion from American politics and foreign policy.

A German American woman grew up Catholic in the 1920s Germany and adored Hitler up till the day of his death. She attended Catholic school in Germany in the 1930s and has stated on a number of occasions that Catholics were not persecuted during those years.

Hitler did make deals with Germany's capitalists but these deals shouldn't be misunderstood, the industrialists feared Hitler because they knew he would confiscate their wealth any time he liked and forfeit their lives if they acted against the best interests of the German nation (national socialism). Thus the industrialists did not act against the interests of the German state, unlike multinational corporations today who have no loyalty whatsoever, except to the almighty dollar (capitalism).

Prior to Hitler the German nation was much like Dalits in India today, held hostage by a very small minority of greedy, lying, scheming manipulators. I hope that an Adolf Hitler will arise in India someday, because if one does, you will be freed from the tyranny of your minority.

DV silver jubilee year is 2006
K.M. TANTI, PA, ITDA, JEYPORE, PO JAYANAGAR, KORAPUT DT., ORISSA - 764 005

Dalit Voice has been striving hard since 1981 to "educate" the "Persecuted Nationalities Denied Human Rights" on the need for unity and brotherhood among them to fight for their constitutional rights. In 2006, DV will celebrate its silver jubilee. But our people particularly Dalits could not rise up to the expectation.

This is because the Dalits are not studying the Ambedkarite literature to know about themselves — their past, present and future. As a result, most of them have been leading a life of contradictions.

On the one hand they cry for human rights and on the other they follow the Brahminical Order — their very enemy oppressing them. Such a double-dealing will never take them anywhere, let alone securing their rights even after another 1,000 years. Dalits must shake off the yoke of BSO and get liberated or remain permanent slaves of Brahminism. There is no third alternative. Dalits must think and decide. But alas the Dalits are engaging their very enemies to think for themselves.

DEBATE
Dalits rescued by Budhism slipping back to Hinduism
PURUSHOTTAM KHEDEKAR, PRESIDENT, MARATHA SEVA SANGH, B-9 "SHIV DHARMA", RANA PRATAP MARG, QUEENS GARDEN, PUNE - 411 001

I congratulate Dalit Voice for waking up the Bahujan Samaj in deep sleep. We are proud that a reputed organisation from Lodon, LISA, has taken note of the Editor's strong movement and given you an International Award (DV June 16, 2005).

Myself and crores of Shiv Dharmis are very much thankful to you for taking our movement to world level. DV has already given us international recognition. Through DV, Shiv Dharma has reached corners of the world.

Not only the Marathas but a very big section of Bahujan Samaj, numbering about 12 lakhs, attended our Shiv Dharma function on Jan.12, 2005 at Sindhked Raja.

It was not only unique but definitely one of the biggest gatherings that denounced and renounced the Hindu religion. The Hindu nazi RSS gang has taken serious note of the huge turnout and called four RSS Chief Ministers to Nagpur to discuss the issue. Though all print and electronic media boycotted our function, our Shiv Dharmis themselves acted as Doordarshan and Akashwani.

By not giving publicity to such a world-shaking event the Brahmins have proved their stranglehold over the media. It is proved beyond doubt that Brahmins the micro-minority 3% are nothing but the most cruel and organised terrorist gang in the world.

America and European countries are trying to prove Muslims as terrorists but we believe that the credit for being the No.1 terrorist must go to the Brahmins of India.

Unfortunately, a major section of Bahujan Samaj is fully under the Brahminical grip. This gulam (enslaved) section has also to be freed liberated from Brahminism.

I have read the articles of Sister Rajashree Dange and K.S. Chalam (DV June 16, 2005). Rajashree is worried about lack of women participation in Dalit movement. We as non-Budhist and non-Dalits are very much worried and concerned about such things. We along with our other Bahujan movements consider the Ambedkar movement as a progressive movement and also as our guide. But when we come close to Ambedkarites, we feel that in religious and cultural matters the Ambedkar movement is still faced with same basic problems afflicting the non-Dalit society. The views expressed by Rajashree and Chalam not only prove our fears but shocking to non-Dalits who look up to the Ambedkarite movement for guidance. The Ambedkarites and Budhists must be worried over her revelations.

Failure to strictly follow Budhism and the 22-Oaths should straight-away lead to disqualification. Many Dalit leaders simply talk of the life of Babasaheb and glorify him. Many Ambedkarites have become mere devotees of Babasaheb but failed to follow his thoughts. There is no point in simply deifying Babasaheb without following his burning thoughts.

A Nagpur University student did Ph.D. under Prof. Dr. Pradeep Aglawe on "Impact of Ambedkarite movement on society". The conclusion was that the Ambedkarite movement is kept alive only by illiterates, poor and rural people. But the elite, educated and rich Dalits kept themselves away from Ambedkarite movements. Many of them follow Hindu traditions and superstitions. Hinduisation of Budhism has become total and complete. Dalit Voice itself had a long Debate on this subject.

The murder of a person can be excused but the murder of a movement, that too the revolutionary Ambedkarite thought, is not excusable. The RSS has defeated the Bahujan movement. That is why L.K. Advani's statement hailing secularism and Jinnah is taken very seriously by the RSS. I am elaborating a point to impress how our society is progressing. Honstely but on wrong lines. Many Budhists have become Hindu-Budhist and this is a major hurdle. Hinduism in brain but Budhism in drain would lead to such problems raised by Rajshree and K.S. Chalam. Under the Hindu religion women are denied all rights. To respect and attract Dalit women into the movement, Babasaheb himself at Mahad had addressed Dalit women. He told Dalit women to give up all Hindu thoughts and all its associate things.

He asked the women themselves to lead anti-Hindu movement. No society can become the ruling class if women are kept in chains.

About the mangal sutra, much has been written in DV. Having a mangal sutra means you are a gulam. Mangal Sutra is a vaidik symbol of gulami (slavery). Kumkum or bindi is yet another sign of women's slavery to man. All these old vaidik inhuman traditions have acquired a state of prestige like ornaments. Wearing ornaments has become a fashion. They say it adds to the beauty of the woman.

Our objection is for compulsion and Brahminical traditions. Our suggestion is women should have the option for ornaments. It should not be related to marriage or symbol of married woman. Brahmins have injected the fear in minds of women and this fear is playing havoc. So much so they are afraid of the death of their husbands.

If a black mani-mangal sutra can save the husband, how then the man dies even when the woman is wearing a mangal sutra? To kill this fear, the husband must step forward and snatch away the Brahmin symbol (mangal sutra) of his wife.

We in the Shiv Dharma have started this. We prepared our own shivmalas which are common for both woman and man, married or unmarried or a divorcee. The shivmala is octagonal in shape –which is the shape of shivrajmudra and a finger of Jijamata is inscribed on one side. The size may vary as per choice. It may be tied with thread or chain and it can be made of any metal of your choice.

I am proud to reveal that hundreds of women offered their mangal sutras in shivdan on Jan.12, 2005. My wife Rekha Khedekar, wears shivmala but no mangal sutra.

My appeal to Dalit women is that study the movement, take part in movement, educate your children and husband, take care of your own health, keep scientific approach in life, develop habit of reading good books, take part in cultural programmes, observe the principles of Budhism in life, try to become leader of your group, keep visiting new developed places and lastly believe in yourself and not what others say.

I thank you for publishing my Shiv Dharma speech in English. DV helped us to take our Shiv Dharma thought to world corners.

Brother Purushottam Khedekar is a great friend and well-wisher of DV. We have judged his courage and organisational ability in giving a shock to the Pune BORI Brahmins for indulging in a heinous crime against Shivaji (DV Edit March 1, 2004: "Maratha - vaidik blood feud sparks attack on BORI: Shiva Dharma stress on caste identity" & p. 7: "How Pune vaidiks fooled American author") and later leading the angry Marathas into Shiv Dharma denouncing Hinduism. We wanted to attend the historic Jan.12, 2005 Sindkhed event but could not. DV has always stood by Khedekar. Now he has to go a step forward. Having rescued his hinduised (enslaved) Maratha brothers, he can't forget the Backward Castes, Dalits and Muslims who too remain under Brahminical slavery. It was Maharashtra that gave birth to Hindu nazi RSS and its tail Shiv Sena which are devouring the SC/ST/BCs of his state.

He can help rescue them by calling a conference of all the different leaders of BC and SC castes and impress upon them to need to strengthen their ethnic identity as outlined in our book, Caste — A Nation Within the Nation.

Mahar monopoly: In Pune, some years back we held a big meeting with different Dalit castes under the leadership of late Bajirao Kamble. Different Dalit caste leaders, other than Mahars, said at the meeting that their people were joining SS, BJP and other Hindu nazi parties because of the "Mahar monopoly" in the Congress, RPI and other Budhist-Ambedkarite movements.

Bajirao Kamble, a former MLA, a Budhist and himself a Mahar leader, admitted this charge of non-Mahar Dalits. Mahar leaders present also admitted the defects. This was reported in Dalit Voice. (DV April 16, 2000 p. 7: "DV bid to unite warring Dalit subcastes in Maharashtra", & p. 11: "Mahar monopoly over RPI & Budhism").

Non-Mahar caste leaders said this was the first such attempt made to bring non-Mahars into Ambedkarism.

Rescuing non-Mahars: Now that Khedekar has led his people out of Hinduism and helped liberate themselves, they have come closer to us. This is a big step. But he has to take a bigger step by helping to rescue many other enslaved BC/SC castes which are numerically small, poor and leaderless.

Maharashtra being in the centre of India and the home of Sikh religion, Phule, Shahu Maharaj, Ambedkarite and Budhist movements, Khedekar is ideally cut out to give a push to such liberating movements. Not only we assure our full support but will be present in any such conference at Pune if BC and SC caste leaders is called to strengthen the ethnic identity of their respective caste.

Only by strengthening the ethnic identity of each section of the society, called castes and tribes, it is possible to strengthen the unity and integrity of India. — EDITOR.

SHIVAJI & B.O.R.I. CONTROVERSY
Vaidik expertise in distorting history to malign revolutionaries
PRAFULLA SAKYA, PUNE

Brahminism is notorious for its ugly tactics: malign, caste aspersion, distort facts, present alternative role models, breed conspiracy theories, false propaganda etc.

Mahatma Phule had denied, comprehensively, all possibilities about the existence of god and the efficacy of their powers. He vehemently dislodged all the isms that relate human life with god, or to one's ultimate human fate. He argued that the avatar (incarnation and re-incarnation) of all god-forms is nothing but the result of a systematic conspiracy waged by the Brahmins down the ages to enslave the masses in perpetual, vicious cycle of ignorance that would pave the way to socio-economic exploitation of the Indian masses.

Mahatma Phule put forward a simple philosophy for collective human betterment. He said:

"Only human beings can do real good and life worth living for fellow human and he only can create a beautiful world for all." Throughout his life Mahatma Phule opposed all the Brahminical thoughts and theories, its discriminatory social patterns, structures, social evils and devils, blind beliefs and prejudices, the unchallenging and unquestionable domination of Brahmins over others and many personalities of historical and mythological importance.

However, he had great respect for two towering personalities in human history. Prophet Mohammad and Chatrapati Shivaji. He used to describe Shivaji as Kulwadi Bhushan (the one who is in a true sense the king of farmers, the poor, the persecuted, and devotes his entire life for their —the masses— empowerment and upliftment). Prophet Mohammad, he described as Jahamard (a truly universal man). He had written two long ballads: one on Shivaji and the other on Prophet Mohammad.

In the 7th century by the use of tactics and weaponry, the Prophet had established the religion of Islam in the Arab world and wrote the Quran. In the same pattern, about 7,000 years later, in the 17th century Shivaji by the use of political tactics and strategies, defied the laws of Manu (Manusmriti) and thus launched a great revolution. He punished the Brahmins when found guilty of an offence and even the death penalty was ordered on a few occasions. This was a rarity and quite unprecedented because of the social custom and special privileges then enjoyed by the Brahmins.

History repeats itself in some form or the other: Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar had publicly made a bonfire of the notorious Manusmriti which was marked down as the day of freedom for the millions of forced, socially-downtrodden and underprivileged people of India. Why did Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar carry out this symbolic act? Because the work started by Shivaji had somehow been uprooted, manipulated and distorted by the enemies of this country.

But after the death of Babasaheb such movements gradually faded.

Why such movements couldn't last long? Or why today there is no movement against the Brahminical detractors? Because since ages the masses of this country have been misguided and history of the work done by many revolutionaries has been manipulated.

That has ruined many a generation and weakened the country internally to an extent that many foreign intruders had come and plundered India and made off with its riches.

After the death of Shivaji, later of Phule and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar their work and characters have been maligned by "scholars".

A very recent example is a book published on Shivaji, Shivaji: Hindu King in Islamic India, by an American author, James W. Laine, as part of a "research work", with the help of a few "research scholars" of the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Pune, (BORI). It cavalierly presented gossip and innuendo without an iota of documentary proof regarding the father of Shivaji quoting a joke that Shahaji Bhosale (Shivaji's father) was not his real father, but that Dadoji Konddeo, who happened to be Shivaji's childhood guru (teacher) and guardian, was the biological father of Shivaji.

How and where from did Laine dig up this disgusting rumour, casting aspersions on the character of Shivaji's mother, who is herself a figure of great veneration for all? She was a single-mother of great character and substance.

The BORI episode is the most recent example of the maligning of the character of a non-Brahmin mass leader. The implication intended is quite clear that no one can bring about a revolution or social reform other than a Brahmin.

If not the Brahmin, then you can't do it either without his (the Brahmin's) help. For this, they used a foreigner to spread the falsehood.

Laine has made it clear in his apology, which he tendered against the backdrop of attack on the BORI by members of Sambhaji Brigade, that "my book was not to give the truth about the story of Shivaji" but to examine the ways that story has been told over the last 300 years.

From this statement it is quite clear that there have been a number of versions of the story intentionally propagated to create confusion. There have been a number of alterations made, fake characters embedded, there has been conspiracy of mystification and mystification of the character of Shivaji by infusing magical incidents and mythological characters; there have been additions and deletions of various facts that only add to the confusion.

A scholarly work (writing or record-keeping or record manipulation) has been pre-dominantly the monopoly of the Brahmins since the ages. From this fact it is quite clear they have misused this craft many a times to meet their selfish goals.

This will be proved if we analyses the history that simply bristles with doubts and confusion and which is mostly dominated by Brahmin characters, as if they have single-handedly created the history. One straightforward example is of the character of Ramdas, who had been declared as a "saint" and guru of Shivaji in his pursuit of self-rule which Shivaji had envisaged. But the truth is that the character of Ramdas had been embedded to show that without the guidance of a Brahmin no one can visualize great goals.

Not only this, but the idea of self-rule which was strongly linked with Hindawi Swaraj was the vision of Ramdas for which he (Ramdas) set forth guidelines to Shivaji and he (Shivaji) acted on it. But the fact is very different from what has been portrayed. Ramdas was spy of Sultan Adilshah and later the Mughal empire and this has been well argued and proved in the book, Medieval History of India, Ramdas and Peshwai (written by eminent historian M.M. Deshmukh, 1968-69).

How under the pressure of Brahminical "scholarly opposition" the then Maharashtra Govt. had imposed a ban on the book? After court hearings substantial evidences were produced on the controversial matter and the ban was finally revoked. Truth emerges that Ramdas was spying on Shivaji. Though it was endorsed with the seal of the Republic of India, the so-called scholars, historians and researchers continue to misguide the admirers and devotees of Shivaji.

What happened at BORI (2004) was a sheer explosion of frustration among those who knew the conspiracy theory and the cunning brains behind the book. But sometimes the end justifies the means to counteract the socio-culture terrorism and it had become inevitable to teach a lesson to show them that we would not be fooled every time.

The character of Dadaji Konddeo too was completely redefined and presented in heroic form. He too was a spy and a humble servant of Adilshah. He was one of the soldiers at the higher echelons at the Fort Kondana. In 1644-45, Shivaji with the help of Baji Pasalkar won the forts of Torna and Rajgargh. During this mission, Dadaji Konddeo had supplied vital information about the strategic movements of Shivaji to Adilshah. He was caught spying by the soldiers who took him to Baji Pasalkar. He reprimanded him and let him go but he (Konddeo) continued with espionage. When he was caught again to avoid humiliation and torture, he committed suicide on March 7, 1647.

Likewise, the incident of the Bhakti movement concerning Sant Tukaram who was the actual guru of Shivaji and who with his sharp and simple poetic language helped unite the people and rebellion among the people of different castes and creeds and thus led them to help Shivaji in the establishment of self-rule.

Rameshwar Bhat, Mamboji Bhat and a few of their associates killed Sant Tukaram and threw his body in the Indrayani river and spread the lie that he (Tukaram) had left for heaven as god himself had come with a Pushpak Viman (vedic aeroplane) to take Tukaram as the Saint's work on the earth was over.

Even if this is a fact, then how on earth with the presence of god and his holy attention over India could a few hundred British conquer India so easily? And rule it for over 150 years? History is witness to the fact that our land had been ruled by many foreign invaders, one after the other, despite the fact that there is the presence over this land of the holy attention of heavenly bodies. It all sounds like a cock-and-bull story.

An incident similar to the death of Sant Tukaram was repeated on the shores of the river Ganga, where Sant Rohidas was killed in the same manner and it was propagated that he was very much fond of Rama and Krishna.

Why was Shivaji targeted? Why not others? Why they (Pune Brahmins) chose to attack Jijabai (Shivaji's mother) to malign him? To find the answer to these questions one needs to take cognisance of a few past events.

Rewriting history or presenting it in a vulgar and manipulative form is the shameful act of preventing people from taking part in their own affairs.

1. The Maratha Seva Sangh (MSS) has constantly been studying the life of Shivaji and brought out the truth as well as the validity of the work of so-called scholars on the life of Shivaji. There have been many discrepancies in most of the versions available in the market. Not only the MSS did this but they have also been publicly challenging the authenticity of the fictitious characters added to the biography of Shivaji and have been concerned with the validation of most of the events written over a period of time.

2. There has been a constant demand to change the name of Pune University to Jijabai University which has been taking a deep root among the followers of Shivaji.

This is the real bone of contention as the Pune Brahmins are under a state of extreme hallucination that the Peshwai still reigns over Pune. It is the feeling of Pune Brahmins that they are of a pure breed and the rest are all plebeian.

That is why they opposed Jijabai name to Pune University. And the best way to avoid this was to cast an aspersion on her for which they used a foreign author, who may not be aware of this local issue.

3. A year earlier, the MSS had taken a collective pledge that it would abolish all Hindu customs and quit Hindu religion on Jan.12, 2005, and form their own religion named Shiva Dharma. This incited Brahmins to a great extent.

Acceptance without proof is the fundamental characteristic of Brahminism.

US schools forced to praise Hindu racism
MARK WEBER, DIRECTOR, INSTITUTE OF HISTORICAL REVIEW, PO Box - 2739, New Port Beach, CA - 92659, USA

Indian parents in Fairfax County, Virginia (USA), are demanding that textbooks in the schools glorify India, its superior people, superior culture and superior heritage. Fairfax County Indian militant Sandhya Kumar demands that the schools in Fairfax County have a curriculum that creates pride in her three daughters, in her superior Hindu heritage, in their true homeland and in their true civilization.

Kumar was infuriated when she read her children's textbooks and notes:

"I thought the American children will think India is Some Third World country with pagan beliefs and backward thinking, not a forward looking country."

Hindu superiority: The revised textbooks will emphasize the superiority and modernity of India. She led several other Indian parents in forcing the Fairfax School District, the 12th largest school district in the US, to revise its textbooks under direction of Balaji Hebbar, a George Washington University religion professor.

One fallacy that was corrected was the fact that caste was important in India. (Zionist) activist Ariel Gluklich, a Georgetown University professor of theology, agrees that caste is not important in understanding India. Spokesmen for the school district, such as Ann Monday, assistant superintendent for instructional services, stated they were innocent of racism because of their ignorance and embraced the recommendations of the Indian militants.

The school board began the process when one Hindu school child accused the schools of not showing proper respect for her heritage. So far textbooks from five publishers for the 1th, 9th and 10th grades have been revised to teach American children the truth about Hindu superiority to American civilization and Indian racial activists have been invited to continue their review of the textbooks and curriculum so that American children can be taught the proper respect for and deference to India, Indians, Indian immigrants and the Hindus.

Edward Corrigan, (ecorrigan@linkd.net): A new book, Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, by Alan Hart (London, World Focus Publishing, 2005) is being released. The book exposes zionism as the real obstacle to peace in the Middle East. Alan Hart is also the author of Arafat: Terrorist or Peacemaker? and contains inside information from over 30 yeras of his involvement as a journalist for ITN and Panorma in both Israel and Palestine. This book — in two volumes —is a definitive work for all interested in the real peace process. It strips away the veil of illusion, woven from years of zionist mythology and US propaganda, to show how all of us — Arab, Jew and Gentile —have a crucial part to play, not just to secure justice for the Palestinians but to halt the march to a "Clash of civilisations", Judeo-Christian v Islamic. The book has been written to mobilise debate and will therefore be made available to all interested organisations at a substantial discount direct from the publishers. The author will also be available to attend meetings from Sept.20 (publication date) onwards. For further details contact the editor, World Focus Publishing, wfp_tony@hotmail.co.uk. An orthodox Jew has written article discussing "the great gulf between zionism and Judaism, G.J. Neuberger, a member of Neturei Karta (from the Neuteri Karta website) says Zionism is not the same thing as Judaisam and that to criticize zionism and Israel is not anti-semitism, no matter how loudly apologists for zionism scream it.
