CLOSING DOWN DV: EXPERT’S TRIBUTE TO D.V.
Internet will expose apartheid in “Hindu India”
DR. DOROTHY ANNE MASTERS, ANTHROPOLOGIST, C/O J.M WILLIAMSON, 28-BRIDGE
ROAD, WOOLSTON, SOUTHAMPTON, SO19 7GQ, U.K.
V.T. Rajshekar — a tribute on leaming that you intend closing
down Dalit Voice.
When, one day, the history of the Dalit struggle to be recognised
as human beings comes to be written, the name V.T. Rajshekar together
with that of Dr. B.R Ambedkar will be writ large for the whole
world to see.
The Dalit Voice edited by V.T. Rajshekar is the only
publication in India which brings to the fore the aspirations of
the Dalit people. The magazine has kept this dream alive for 26
years in the teeth of overwhelming odds. Rajshekar has earned his
rest after these long years. It will be very difficult to find
someone with his skill, determination and sensitivity to fill the
gap.
The Task Ahead: It took 3,000 years to build this monstrosity
called Hinduism brick by brick. It will take a lot longer than
26 years to bring down this monument of prejudice, injustice and
cruelty. But do not despair. There is hope yet.
Aug.6, 1991 was a red letter day for the world. On this day an
Englishman of science named Tim Berners-Lee gave to the world the
World Wide Web. This means no longer anyone or any country could
carry on any activity without being noticed by the rest of the
world. This means Hinduism will not be able to practise its apartheid
behind closed doors. This means this cult masquerading as a world
religion which affects only the Indian subcontinent and the diaspora
will be fully exposed to the full and merciless glare of the world.
The Caste System: The caste system was founded by Krishna
and confirmed by the mythical hermaphrodite Manu:
“The four fold Caste System was created by me”. (Bhagavad-Gita 4.13)
Pratima Bowes on page 305 in her book, The Hindu Tradition,
says:
“The greatest weakness of this culture, however, is the
hereditary caste system which … has undermined (its) social
and moral structure.”
The Hindus believe your present status is determined by what you
had done in previous incarnations. The theory of Karma,
I believe, is at the root of the tragedy that is India.
When Clive Anderson, a well known impresario of London, visited
India recently he was struck by the extremes of wealth and poverty
he saw: He was told:
“We believe in the doctrine of Karma. Each person’s
fate is determined by his own past action in a previous life. So
you can do nothing to change the situation.”
Hindus against UN: The Hindus’ basic belief is that
all human beings are created unequal. This is because of the caste
system created by Krishna. It follows from this that Hindus will
be automatically opposed to even the Charter of the United Nations
which reaffirms “faith in fundamental human rights, unlike
dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men
and women and of nations large and small”.
(UN Charter. Signed by all nations including India on
June 26, 1945)
A gloomy forecast for Hinduism: So Rajshekar. Take heart.
There are 3 groups of writers who are very pessimistic about the
survival of Hinduism.
1) Lal and Loon (on page 127 of their book, Introducing Hinduism).
They say:
“As knowledge of India grows around the world and Bollywood,
Indian fashions, Indian classical music….among many other
phenomena leave their mark on contemporary world culture, Hinduism
will come under increasing scrutiny. “
2) Gidoomal and Thompson (on page 150 in their book, A Way
of Life) they say:
“Whoever is in power the tension over caste and class will
continue”
3) Pratima Bowes (on page 17 of her book, The Hindu Tradition)
she says:
“The opinion is often expressed that the Caste System is
the centre of the Hindu religion and a breakdown of this system
means the end of this religion”
And finally, the Word Wide Web (W.W.W) has at last sounded the
death knell for this cult, long hidden from the world’s gaze
and practised by a motley segment of humanity will be mercilessly
exposed by scientists such as Richard Dawkins, A.C. Grayling; Sam
Harris; Christopher Hutchins and Meera Nanda.
And all mankind will then proclaim with one voice: -
“Justice – now be revealed -Now let your sword thrust – through
and through
(The chorus in Bacchae by Euripides 484 B.C)

Brahminism dragging down India
This long message sent by an old member of the DV family in
England was read out by the Editor himself at the Dalit Voice silver
jubilee function in London on July 24, 2007. The message is published
in full because of its eminent author’s several
qualifications to comment with full authority on Brahminism that
is dragging down India: she is an eminent anthropologist, (age
71), a White British citizen, deep study of India where she lived
for several years with her daughter married to a Brahmin in Madhya
Pradesh. She was away in Canada during our London meeting.
When Brahminical media is dying, DV is India’s only hope
A DELHI-BASED JOURNALIST (NAME & ADDRESS WITHHELD)
At a time when India’s journalistic world is becoming totally
corrupt and irrelevant, your decision to close down Dalit Voice comes
as a shocking news. Honest journalists with a conscience have no
place in our “toilet papers”, to use your phrase.
They are being pulled up for telling the truth. Which means even
the right to free speech and expression outside office premises
in informal settings are now being denied to journalists. The situation
is such that mainstream journalism is getting really suffocating
as never before. The message is clear — either become a prostitute
or leave the profession forever. There is covert, but organised
censorship going on which people and readers are not aware of.
Even if they become aware, they seem to be least bothered. So many
youngsters like me are getting frustrated and feeling trapped as
well as suffocated. No longer is it possible to call whatever is
going on as journalism. A friend is thinking how to quit the profession
and he is extremely frustrated. Only the dirtiest swines are thriving
in the “mainstream” media these days. Some of the finest
print media journalists are sitting at home without jobs. TV-based
news values have already gone to the dogs and everything is totally
at the mercy of market and advertisers. These days everybody is
hired only on contract basis with constant job insecurity. There
are no unions or any forums to oppose whatever dirty things are
going on. Even the readership of the “mainstream” media
is least bothered.
In that sense, Dalit Voice readership is a million
times more involved.
You must keep in mind that reading habits are vanishing due to
urban literacy as well as “attention deficit disorder”,
besides “information overload”. All this has adversely
affected print media already. Naturally Dalit Voice too
has been adversely affected just like all other print media publications
which has to compete with TV and Internet and cell phones these
days. I would even say that cell phones are the future of the media.
Already internet newspaper sites and TV is available on cell phones.
News updates and headline services are also available on cell phones
in an SMS format, print media seems to be becoming a “sunset” sector,
while electronic media seems to be the “sunrise” sector.
All non-corrupt journalists in the “mainstream” print
media are feeling totally cornered and castrated. Many are leaving
the profession. No longer can anybody deny that whatever is going
on is absolute disinformation.
You cannot believe how dirty this profession has become. This
is one more reason why Dalit Voice must not close down.
Orissa DV members reject Editor’s plea
PRADIP SETHI, ATHARANALA, PURI - 752 002
Brahminical critics may call DV a hate forum, destructive machine,
pessimistic, or use all sorts of abusive language against DV and
its Editor. But the readers and the participants of Orissa DV silver
jubilee function shattered all these nonsense. They simply endorsed
DV as their Voice, voice of the persecuted people of this land.
Orissa, the land of Bahujans (93%), held DV silver jubilee function
on June 10. Just imagine the spirit of this tiny 28-paged magazine
that brought readers from 500 km away from different parts of Orissa
to Bhubaneswar. Editor of Hindi DV, Dr. K.K. Sidhu, and Dr. D.
Yadaiah of Hyderabad and a group of readers from West Bengal including
Kazi Kamrujjaman were there. DV members came to hear the man of
mission, V.T. Rajshekar, about the alternative media against Brahminism.
The topic for the first session, “DV — its impact on
Dalit/Bahujans”, created a favourable environment there.
Readers of North Kalahandi to West Bolangir, South Berhampur, Central
Angul and coastal Balasore, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Puri expressed
their solidarity with DV and how it makes them think differently
and accurately. The Editor revealed his agony and anger against
the nasty Brahminical system and scolded the slavish mentality
of the victims of the system.
The Editor’s request to close down of DV was emotionally
rejected by the house. But matured persons involved in this field
like R.P. Swain, MLA, Issac Behera, IAS (retd), Dr. B.K. Mallick,
HOD, History Dept., Utkal University, K.M. Tanti, OAS(I), Orissa
Muslim forum leader T. Anwer, Balaram Mallick, Sreenath Jena
endorsed the voice by their assurance to propagate DV.
DV readers of Orissa expressed their conviction that only SC/ST/OBC
combination can stop the Brahmin and Karan rule in Orissa and empower
them. The meeting understood the importance of DV and the need
to step up Dalit literature against cultural aggression of Brahminic
media.
Significance of Delhi function
S.C. MUSAFIR, NATIONAL INS. CO. LTD, DO: PALAMPUR, KANGRA DT. - 176
061
This refers to the silver jubilee function of Dalit Voice in
Delhi on April 8, 2007 and the Editorial comment on “Closing
down DV” and the article “How sunset when there
was no sunrise over Dalit world?” by Brother Gurnam
Singh Muktsar (DV July 1, 2007 p.20). I have attended all the workshops
of DV held in North India i.e. Lucknow, Shimla, Chandigarh including
the silver jubilee function in Delhi. Not simply attended all these
functions but also helped organize these functions. Along with
Brother Rajmal Chaudhary (HP), Ramesh Tirdia (Haryana) we reached
Delhi a day before to look after the silver jubilee arrangements.
Brother Gurnam Singh says DV worked hard for over 25 years but
could not gather even 100 intellectuals. Right. If not 100, DV
gathered at least 25 hardcore missionaries like us. The Delhi show
was an historic event when DV family from Himachal to Manipur and
Punjab to Kerala gathered just on the simple DV announcement without
any invitation. They all came to attend this function from all
over the country at their on cost for the sake of Dalit Voice which
they all love.
Eccentric genius ?
NEERAV PATEL, 4 - HEMANG PARK, VEJALPUR, AHMEDABAD - 380 051
As I have been saying all these years, Dalit Voice is
a staple food for me and I can’t afford to miss even its
single issue. And yes, there may be difference of opinion but I
have no complaint against you. By now everybody has realised that you are
an eccentric genius, the one and only that the Dalits can be proud
of. I found from DV report that the Ahmedabad DV workshop was a
big fiasco. It was quite predicable. People have by now realised
that you want to sell your own agenda: “caste identity” and
Dalit-Muslim solidarity both of which have reasons to fail. And
you instantly brand all those who disagree with you as RSS-influenced,
neo-Brahmins, Dalit elites and what not. Differences aside, we
love you, respect you and will do so for ever. For we know you
are the real fighter, you have suffered a lot, you have sacrificed
a lot for the Dalit cause. Even though you are not a born Dalit,
you devoted your entire life for Dalit empowerment.
DV gave new breath

We are pained to read the Editor pouring out his agony (DV Edit
May 16, 2007: “Sunset over Dalit world”).
We have decided to enrol 50 or more subscribers from Chandrapur
city. We assure you to create a “DV Readers Circle” in
Chandrapur. I may be a new DV family member but got a new breath
after reading DV. My request to Editor is not even to think of “closing
down of DV”. We the young blood of Babasaheb will take the
mission forward. We promise. We also want to be your regular writers.
We also want to learn the DV style of writing and its honest culture
of working to fight and uproot Brahminical counter-revolution.
DV alone is capable of preparing revolutionaries.
We already have a good “Bahujan group” comprising
engineers. We meet every weekend to discuss current affairs and
reading sessions. From DV, we got to know about Dr. K. Jamanadas
an intellectual from Chandrapur. We want to meet him. Though we
belong to the same city we have not heard of him. He will be our
guide. Thank you for introducing a towering genius.
“U.S. WAR ON TERROR”
West defeated in “clash of ideas” with Islam
V.T. RAJSHEKAR
[Paper on “US War on Terror” presented
at the London Institute of South Asia (LISA) seminar in London
on July 24 2007 at the Imperial College of Science, South Kensington,
Central London. ]
The subject, “US War on Terror” has been the hottest
international controversy for the past several years that any opinion
you express is bound to be criticised. I am very well aware of
the risks.
But we the Dalits (Untouchables of India), treated as slaves by
its Hindu rulers, belong to no party to this longest war of the
century waged by the American-led West against “terrorism.” We
are neither Hindu, Muslim, Christian or Jew. India’s Hindu
rulers led by their 3% Brahmins are the most enthusiastic supporters
of America and its war on terror. India has the world’s largest
Muslim population (next to Indonesia) which the Hindu rulers have
declared as the enemy of Hindus and subjected to daily war and
violence. So I am, with the permission of the chair, amending the
subject to include India in my paper. Being neither Hindu nor Muslim
our opinion on this war on terror can be taken as impartial, rank
outsiders.
As the Editor of Dalit Voice, India’s largest circulated
journal of the Untouchables, we have been writing on this “US
war on Terror” ever since George W. Bush father launched
the “clash of civilisations” and we are glad to tell
you our readers have fully supported our stand on this subject.
We have also gathered enough evidences from authentic American
sources itself about the “terrorist attack” on the
World Trade Centre. Hundreds of lies have been manufactured to
hide the real perpetrators of the WTC holocaust.
Subsequent developments have revealed that Saddam Hussain had
neither the weapons of mass destruction nor did he have any connection
with Al-Qaida.
American people would have realised long back that this war on
terror is built on a mountain of lies, totally hidden from their
eyes by the mass media, controlled by its Jewish owners and journalists.
The American voters themselves rejected President Bush’s
party of Republicans after disbelieving his lies on the war. Bush
himself has become the most hated President of America. His tail,
Tony Blair, had a shameful exit. The Bush poodle died even before
its master. The world opinion is not only against Bush and Blair
and the war they started but the peoples of the world have started
disbelieving all the lies manufactured to launch this war.
So it is now clear, even to a child, that all these cock and bull
stories were manufactured and sold to protect the zionist Israel,
which is the cause of the entire Middle East violence.
INDIA’S WAR ON MUSLIMS
In India too, we are witnessing the same scene daily. What we
call as the “Jews of India” have made full use of this “US
war on terror” and launched a bloody war on Indias’ Muslims.
Not a single day passes without a war and violence on India’s
innocent Muslims.
So it is now clear that this “US War on Terror” is
nothing but a war on Muslims and Islam.
We very often hear from government leaders and the media that
the “terrorists are killing innocents.” If Bush and
Blair can kill millions and millions of innocent Muslims in Afghanistan,
Iraq, Palestine etc, what is wrong in Muslims getting angry and
retaliating? The Muslim terrorism is a rightful reaction to the
Western action. Muslims say:” You stop the war on Muslims
and Muslims will stop terrorism.” Why there was no Muslim
terrorism before the Bush-Blair war on Muslims? For this Bush and
Blair may point out the grave Al –Qaida provocation of 9/11
but we have our own doubts about the American version of 9/11.
If the hate-Muslim campaign in the West is a recent development,
in India the Muslim hatred was the very basis of the country’s
partition in 1947. The Hindu rulers waged three wars against Pakistan
on the issue of Kashmir, the world’s second longest lasting
international dispute after Palestine, disregarding the UN call
for plebiscite on the disputed territory.
So on this anti-Muslim hatred demonizing Muslims and attributing
all types of cruelty to Muslims, India’s Hindu rulers excel
American and Western rulers.
Nay. On one side they hate the Muslims (15% of India), on the
other side they are doing everything to keep our people, Dalits
(20%) enslaved. Why they hate both because most of the Indian Muslims
are converts from our community and conversion brought liberation.
I have to give this brief background of India because though India
is far, far away from the West both suffer from the same hate-Muslim
insomnia and the consequent pain, suffering, war and violence.
After observing this unending “war on terror” in
the West and in India, our conclusion is that this “war
on terror” is nothing but a war on Islam. Any amount of
hiding this war on Islam by giving it all sorts of respectable
names cannot hide the real intentions behind it.
Bush/Blair/ Brown argument that their intention is to “promote
democracy” will not impress the Muslims, or outsiders like
us.
WESTERN CONCEPT OF DEMOCRACY
Because the word “democracy” itself makes the Muslims
suspect the sellers of democracy. Please note “democracy” and “secularism” are
zionist inventions to subvert and destroy nation-states and the
ethnic identities which are the special features of Asian and African
societies. This statement may come as a shock to you, but those
doubting us may verify this from the book, Protocols of the
Elders of Zion, the secret book of the zionists (for copies
write to Dalit Voice office, Rs. 50). The failure of Western
model of democracy in India is because it did not take into consideration
India’s caste-based society and its varieties of ethnic identities.
Even in China, “democracy” is not accepted for the
very same reason. Western-style democracy and secularism can work
only in countries where the society is homogenous.
If the West goes on lecturing Muslims on “strengthening
democracy” not only Muslims, but also Asians and Africans
will suspect such people more and more.
The West only talks of democracy and says Muslims must promote
democracy. But always supports the worst tyrants like Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, Jordan etc.
British rulers have also started using some deceptive language.
The new PM, Gordon Brown, wants to change the choice of language.
The media is also calling for a new vocabulary. But we can tell
you that such a change is no use because by now the whole world
knows what is meant by this “war on terror.” It is
nothing but a war on Islam.
HOW TO DESTROY AN IDEA?
After making a deep study of the problem, I want to impress both
the Western as well as India’s Hindu warmongers that they
can never, ever win this “war on terror”- meaning Islam.
Why? Because Islam is an idea or ideology. An idea cannot be
defeated or killed by any weapon, any army or bomb. An idea can
be fought and defeated by a more superior idea.
An overwhelming majority of Western Christians are innocent and
good people. But the Western ruling class is guided by zionist
money bags, media and its stink (not think) tank. This is the real
problem.
Do the people conducting this war on Muslims have any superior
idea or ideology to defeat the Islamic ideology?
SUICIDE BOMBER
Both the Western rulers and India’s Hindu rulers have launched
a bloody war on Muslims and Islam. They have killed millions and
millions of Muslims. But to this day they have not claimed any
victory. Nor have they made even a dent on Islam.
Muslims are simply fighting and dying. They are ready to die.
Even young, unarmed boys are fighting the armed Israeli soldiers
and dying. But it is the Western people and India’s Brahminical
rulers who say they are afraid of dying. The Muslims have invented
a new revolutionary magic weapon unknown to the West – the
suicide bomber (Japanese and Lankan precedents are there).
Neither the Western nor Hindu rulers could prepare a single
suicide bomber to this day. They have no courage. How can those
who are afraid of dying win a war?
But Muslims have produced hundreds of such soldiers. Even young
Muslim girls are not afraid of dying. Suicide bombers are dying
daily. They call it Jihad.
So at this stage we can confidently predict who is going to win
this war of ideas. Having failed so far to win this war, the sinking
American rulers are now under zionist pressure to attack Iran.
That means a sure world war because that will force China, Russia
and many other countries to intervene. And the UN, the world’s
only hope, will break into pieces.
SALMAN RUSHDIE HONOUR
Such a bankruptcy of ideas and ideology is forcing the Western
rulers to take desperate steps even at the cost of a third world
war — all because of their misplaced love for a tiny Israel
and defend its illegal occupation of the Palestinian land.
Having failed in this war, they are already giving expression
to their desperation resorting to heinous tactics of corrupting
and co-opting their Muslim enemies. We have the standing example
of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and its American stooge
appointed Prime Minister. Not only that. Tony Blair, hated by the
Palestinians and the Muslims as a whole, is appointed Middle East
envoy on whom the Muslims have no trust. Such a habit of corrupting
and co-opting enemies of Muslims and honouring hated authors like
Salman Rushdie is like pouring petrol on the burning fire.
Such actions of the West are forcing the Muslim revolutionaries
to fight two enemies – internal and external – at the
same time. This is what Hamas is called upon to do in Palestine
and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Unless the internal enemies
are eliminated first, the external enemies cannot be fought.
So to put the matter straight it is a no-holds-barred war against
Islam not by the masses of Christians in the West and India but
by a tiny Western ruling class led by its zionist masters and by
a mere micro-minority of 3% “Jews of India”.
LESSONS OF HISTORY
While dealing with this most important burning topic of the day,
I will be failing in my duty if I don’t refer to the lessons
of history. I have to refer to history because history has taught
us that those who forget the past cannot build the future. What
does history say? Among the three Abrahamic religions (Judaism,
Christianity, Islam), the conflict has been mostly between Christianity
and Judaism. Jews who lived in Islamic empires faced no persecution.
“The Muslims of Spain had given Jews the best home they
had ever had in the diaspora, so the annihilation of Spanish Jewry
was mourned by Jews throughout the world as the greatest disaster
to have befallen their people since the destruction of the Temple
in CE 70.” (P. 304, Karen Armstrong, A History of God,
1993, Vintage Books, London)
The author, a British Roman Catholic nun and a distinguished religious
historian, says it was Christianity that was most violent against
Jews during the15th century. Thousands of Jews were expelled from
different countries. The German nazis accused of Jewish Holocaust
were also Christians. She refers to many clashes between Christians
and Jews but hardly any between Muslims and Jews.
The Tehran correspondent of The Guardian (July 13, 2007)
reports that 25,000 Jews living in Iran rejected the Israeli offer
of cash if they migrated to Israel, the arch enemy of Iran. Jews
have lived in Iran since 700 BC. Jews rejected the zionist offer
and said that they were Iranians first and Jews second.
NO MUSLIM-CHRISTIAN CONFLICT
The zionist – Muslim conflict began only with the creation
of the zionist state and imposing it on the Palestinians with the
firm British Government blessings. Even Churchill was not happy
with this arrangement. This is the beginning of the zionist-Muslim
conflict if my reading of history is correct. Nor was there any
major conflict between Muslims and Christians. Christ was given
the highest place of a prophet in the Quran. Both the First and
the Second World War were fought mainly between the Christians
only.
The Muslims were forced to fight the zionists who were supported
by the Christian ruling class of England only after the zionists
illegally occupied the Arab land. Any number of UN resolutions
are there on record.
We can understand the zionists hating Muslims because they are
fighting the zionists who have occupied the Muslim land. Why should
the Western Christians join this zionist war on Islam? Muslims
have nothing against Christians.
This is where we get doubts that the Western Christian political
leadership, particularly in America and England, is manipulated
by Zionist money and media power. Total media blackout in America
has kept its innocent people in total darkness. In fact, outsiders
like us know more about the truth than those inside America.
Our fear is the American political leadership by becoming a puppet
in the hands of zionists is not only endangering peace in the whole
of West but causing the economic collapse of America itself. The
peoples of India, China, Africa and peace loving peoples even in
the West have their heart with the Muslim sufferers.
If the zionists want to impose Israel on the Arab land, let them
do it. Why the Christian leadership should fight the zionist war?
Already the Christian religion is under too much confusion. A
large number of churches in England, Germany and elsewhere are
closed down. There are hardly and church-goers in the West. Many
of them have become indifferent towards god and religion.
CHRISTIAN – MUSLIM RECONCILIATION
But the zionists who preached communism, atheism to Christians
are keeping their synagogues active and their religion fighting
fit. Even in America, mainstream churches are fading and the
Jewish-controlled Evangelicals are running riot. The Christian
religion itself is in deep trouble in the West. Christian values
are under threat.
So it is time the Christian West and Christian religious leaders,
the Pope, the World Council of Churches etc. deeply ponder over
these serious issues which have endangered the very peace and happiness
of the entire Western Christian world and make peace with Muslims
and Islam and join Muslims to rebuild the world.
A noted American intellectual and professor of History at Columbia
University, Dr. Richard W. Bulliet, has written a book itself on
the subject,Islamo-Christian Civilisation (2004). There
is an urgent need for Islam – Christian reconciliation to
save the world from sure Armageddon (Dalit Voice editorial
Sept. 16 2006). Unless the Western Christian laity correct, control
and force their political leadership, they will not be able to
avert a third world war which is knocking at our doors
According to the Guardian (July 17 2007) Al-Qaida has
become stronger, better equipped and well placed to attack both
America and Europe. This was the assessment of the American Government
itself, according to the Guardian.
WHO IS REAL ENEMY OF JEWS?
There is yet another serious problem with the highly advanced
Western Christian society and the Jews.
Muslims are enlightened enough to understand that despite all
their educational backwardness they have identified their enemy.
But it is the highly educated and scientifically advanced Christians
and Jews who have failed to identify their enemy.
We congratulate our friend, the British journalist and historian,
Alan Hart, for writing a scholarly book in two volumes on this
subject, Zionism — The Real Enemy of the Jews.
The West should realise the fact that zionism is not only the
enemy of Jews, but it is also the enemy of the Western Christian
society. Similarly in India, the Brahmin is not our enemy. The
real enemy of Brahmin and India is Brahminism.
But I am sorry to note Alan Hart’s scholarly work did not
get the respect and recognition it deserved. As the Christians
and Jews have failed to honour the writer, who made the world know
the truth, it is now the duty of Muslims to honour Alan Hart.
CONCLUSION
The Western society today is the richest, technologically the
most advanced and militarily the mightiest. In contrast the Muslim
world is poor, backward and riddled with plenty of stooges who
have placed their only wealth (oil) at the disposal of the West.
In spite of all these advantages, why the West is not able to defeat
the Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine or even Pakistan?
Every time the “Muslim Terrorism” explodes the Western
rulers say they are caught unawares. What does it mean? If the
gory picture of the Al-Qaida and the more-than-the-life picture
given about Osama Bin Laden are true, we are not able to understand
how a frail ageing man sitting atop a mountain or hiding in a cave
without any standing army, deadly weapons or any latest communication
network is able to terrorise the world’s sole superpower.
Are we listening to a fairy tale?
What does all this mean? The answer to this question reveals the
Great Truth. The Western thinkers and scholars know the Truth but
they are unable to understand it. What is this Great Truth? The
Truth is between the world of property and world of ideas which
is more powerful?
The West says the world of property is all that matters. If you
have the wealth you can command anything. It brings happiness,
respect. And military might will assure peace.
MILITARY MIGHT
All this is now proved false. The zionist Israel, a nuclear power
and controller of the whole Western world, is not even getting
sound sleep in the night.
Bush and his Neo-cons, who built the myth of military power as
the determining factor, have been rejected by the American people
themselves.
The dollar is sinking and China is poised to replace USA in another
20 years. Where is the myth of military might? Where is the superpower
arrogance? Where is the dollar domination? Bush and Blair, dancing
to the tunes of their zionist controllers have been rejected by
their own people and thrown into the dustbin of history.
What a slap on the face of Samuel Huntington who tried to confuse
and mislead us by calling it a “Clash of Civilisations.” It
is not a clash of civilisations. It is a clash of ideas. In other
words, the world of property is defeated by the world of ideas.
See how these zionist writers are misleading the civilised world.What
is this world of ideas? The answer is Islam.
The Christian world must note that Islam has nothing against Christianity
or Christians, nor is it against Jews. It is time the Christian
world understands this supreme truth. But our fear is that the
Bush – Blair pair, intoxicated by the overdose of zionist
liquor, will not regain sanity until they completely ruin the hard-won
Western Christian civilisation and bring to grief the entire Christian
world.
FUTURE BELONGS TO ASIA
The future belongs to Asia, meaning China, India and Africa — the
winners in this “Clash of Civilisations,” to put it
in the words of Huntington.
Of course in India we have to tackle the 3% ruling “Jews
of India” who too have made terrorism, meaning Muslim mayhem,
as their staple diet.
What is worrying us in India is the desperate bid of the “Jews
of India” to join hands with their counterparts in America.
The “Jews of India” have urged the American Jews to
shift their enormous capital to India so that together they could
subjugate India’s Dalits, Muslim’s and other original
inhabitants, finish their hated Pakistan and finally take on China.
But our information is that the American Jews have expressed some
reservations on this offer. The Brahminical rulers are told that
their 60 year-old rule of India has only made a mess of the whole
country. They are first asked to show their “merit and efficiency” inside
India before selling their global ambitions.
That means there is total confusion unless the Christian leadership
takes the initiative to end this mindless war and violence. With
this question mark I will end this paper.
Budhism as a military religion, not a creed of cowards
DR. K.K. SIDHU, A-8/3, SFS FLATS, SAKET, NEW DELHI - 110 017
This refers to the revealing DV Editorial of Aug.1, 2007: “Did
Budha name enemy of Dhamma & ask his followers to fight & finish
Brahminism?” on Budha’s call for “armed
struggle” against the “enemies’ of Dhamma whom
he identified as Brahminical people.
For the past two years I have been making a deep study of the
writings of the Japanese Budhist scholar, Nichiren Daishonin, and
I found it the most revolutionary interpretation of Budhism, which
the Brahminical people simply twisted out of shape so that its
Indian followers are reduced to passive obedience.
So the Editorial for the first time in India’s history lifts
the veil of mystery around Budhism and reveals it as a fighting
fit military order to establish justice and truth.
In other words Budhism comes out as a military religion, capable
of destroying India’s one and the only enemy, Brahminism.
BRAHMINICAL LIES
The excerpts reproduced in DV (p.4) show that Budha remained concerned
about transmitting his apprehensions about enemies of Dhamma to
posterity through his followers even till the last day of his life. Nirvana
Sutra is a commentary on Lotus Sutra as carried out
by Sakyamuni Budha on this day. Budha’s conversation with
the Brahmin Chunda is part of this commentary. Chunda was the last
man who is seen clarifying his doubts with Budha on enemies of
Budhism (of Lotus Sutra). It is this particular information
that was published in Dalit Voice for benefit of its readers.
Even Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar perhaps could not get hold of such
a vital information as this, according to some experts.
Dr. Ambedkar is seen repeatedly diving deep through the Vedas
and Shastras and through the mountains of Brahminical
lies to get at the truth about nature, activities and qualities
of the enemies of Bahujans of India, in general and enemies of Dhamma in
particular. But Budha is seen giving this information directly
in one stroke to Chunda here.
Our Editor kept his fingers on the pulse of ailing society of
Bahujans, particularly Dalits for decades like a physician to discover
the cause of their disease. Budha supplied the diagnosis here,
in one stroke.
AMBEDKARITES MISGUIDED
As we learn from the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin,
his Budhism is Mahayana Budhism. Much dust is raised in
India over the Mahayana versus the Hinyana Budhism
controversy to misguide the Ambedkarites. Nichiren Daishonin’s
writings explain in no uncertain terms that the Mahayana Budhism
was set up by Budha himself, as an improvement upon earlier Theravada (Hinyana)
Budhism. Nichiren Daishonin writes that Mahayana was born
in the womb of Hinyana and was, therefore, a development
and improvement over it. Lotus Sutra is the latest and
the highly developed form of Mahayana Budhism virtually
overturning even the earlier Mahayana teachings, what
to talk of Hinayana teachings.
Ambedkarite entrants into Budhism deny the very existence of Mahayana Budhism
in India. It will not be correct to say that they are primarily
responsible for this misinformation. It is highly probable that
they are kept in the dark and misinformed by the “sole
intellectual class of India” who seem to be at the back
of spreading lies on which they normally thrive.
It is the Mahayana Budhism (developed into latest Lotus
Sutra teachings) that overturns all the earlier teachings
of Sakyamuni Budha. That Lotus Sutra teachings are not
only not easy to follow but are difficult to even accept, says
Nichiren Daishonin.
He says Sakyamuni himself called it bitter medicine, for graver
ills of humanity of Later Day of the Law. Men of that evil age
will not be cured by ordinary medicines, Budha said. Besides all
this Nichiren Daishonin explains Budha’s deep concern about
saving his latest and most vulnerable doctrines that he propounded
in Lotus Sutra.
ARMED STRUGGLE
It is in the Lotus Sutra that he recounts the type of
enemies that can endanger his theories. Not only this, he recounts
the means they will employ to obstruct the correct teachings.
In those excerpts reproduced in DV, Budha is discussing/diagnosing
the type of enemies who can attack his teachings. He is asking
his followers particularly those in the Latter Day of the Law,
to arm themselves and protect the teachings at any cost.
These should be protected not only by sacrificing their worldly
possessions, but also with their lives. That alone will be counted
as Dhamma says Budha and this is what the excerpts clearly
brings out. Like a true disciple of Budha and having himself attained
the title of Budha of the Later Day of the Law, Nichiren Daishonin
lived his mentor’s instructions with his life. He emerges
in these writings as a fighter for establishing the correct teaching,
as the teachings of Lotus Sutra are called.
In these excerpts, Sakyamuni is urging his followers to arm
themselves and punish those who attack the correct teachings
as enshrined in Lotus Sutra.
HINAYANA
Actually the Hinyana Budhism that had died in India — not
the Mahayana. It will be better to put it this way that
the Hinyana Budhism gave way to development of Mahayana Budhism.
Right from Budha’s time this process can be seen on its way
to development. Babasaheb also refers to a Budhist Sangiti in
Ashoka’s times, in which protagonists of Mahayana Budhism
(led by Siddhas) prevailed. And as per Dr. Ambedkar’s
view also, it was the Mahayana Budhism that emerged as
the reigning philosophy of Budhism even in India after this Sangiti.
It is not through arrogance of its protagonists that Mahayana is
named Maha (superior) yana, over Hin (lesser) yana,
but it was so-called because Hinyana had lived out its
potential. As per a universal law, it had undergone a cycle of
full development and was ready to be transformed into Mahayana.
That it was not mere arrogance on the part of its protagonists
to call it Maha (yana) is also clear from the
ongoing development of Mahayana into not only Nichiren
Daishonin’s Budhism in Japan but as progressive (Mahayana)
forms, one after the other in India.
SIDDHA-NATH-YOGI MOVEMENT
Thus, emergence of Mahayana Budhism was on the cards
in India too and so it happened. Siddha-Nath-Yogi movement
was development of Mahayana Budhism. Not only its founders
and protagonists were all Mahayana Budhists, but also
as it passed into Bhagati Sufi movement, its profound Mahayana
essence made itself manifest in it. This view is further strengthened
when we see Radical Bhagati-Sikh revolutions emerge as
phenomenon, from this essence of Bhagati-Sufi movement.
Besides Radical Bhagati and Sikh revolutions, several
other offshoots of Bhagati-Sufi movement appeared all
over India showing the well known mechanism and pattern in which
social phenomenon manifest themselves. This mechanism shows that
social phenomenon rarely occur singly at a time, in pure form and
in isolation.
SIKH REVOLUTION
They are more often than not accompanied by other minor and major
offshoots (appearing from the essence). Thus emerging from Bhagati
Sufi movement, Satnami and Bowels movement
of Bengal, along with several other minor and local movements elsewhere
can be explained away as such offshoots.
The doctrinal basis of all these movements was the Lotus Sutra.
It is because as Bhagati movement appeared from the womb
of Siddha-Nath-Yogi movement, it developed on the lines
of Lotus Sutra. All scholars who will study the Radical Bhagati-Sikh
revolution phenomenon will realize that Lotus Sutra doctrines
kept on unfolding themselves in more and more fuller forms as these
movements advanced from one stage to the other. As Sikh revolution
arrived at its culmination point, the total essence of Lotus
Sutra started revealing itself.
BUDHISM DID NO DIE
Thus what had phased out from India was not Budhism but Hinyana Budhism.
Brahminism took to propagating this erroneous view that Budhism
has died in India. By the time Tulsi Ramayana appeared,
Brahminism was in the thick of fighting Radical Bhagati revolution.
No sooner Mughal rulers started complying with Brahminism, it
stepped up its attacks on ongoing Sikh revolution. All of us should
understand the spirit running behind the historical events. Mughal
rulers were mere means, for carrying out the ends of Brahminical
counter-revolution as Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has brought out in
Vol.3 of the Writings & Speeches.
Continuing attacks on Sikhism reveal the truth of our thesis that
Sikhism is that part of Budhism which earned the unending ire of
Brahminism. Nichiren Daishonin has brought out this enmity beautifully
in this volume.
What to talk of India, Brahminical forces penetrated even Japanese
Budhist circles also to obstruct teachings of Lotus Sutra as
Writings of Nichiren Daishonin reveal, about which we shall discuss
later.
Syrian Christian honeymoon with Hindu terrorist RSS
COMRADE AYYANKALI
A section of Brahminical Roman Catholic scholars has always been
extremely pro-Hindu terrorist RSS. One such slimy creepy crawlies
is the late Catholic Upanishad, Vedanta and Sanskrit “scholar”,
Father Anthony Elenjimittam alias Bhikshu Isabhodananda who wrote
the book, RSS: Bharathiya Samskruthiyude Kaavalsena (RSS:
watchdog of Indian culture), way back in 1951. It was a totally
Brahminical bullshit book. This cunning fellow was also a “veteran” Fleet
Street journalist working in several London newspapers. Bum-licking
Brahmins is a big business among Syrian Christians in Kerala and
others in Goa as well as Mangalore. Right from the time of Robert
de Nobili, the Vatican itself encouraged a policy of going with
Brahminical forces.
The king cobras among them are the Syrian Catholics who may
also have some Jewish blood running in their veins. The other
king cobras are the Jesuits of Goa.
DV must investigate RSS attacks only against pro-Dalit Protestant
churches. Jesuits operate in certain areas of Goa, Belgaum dt.
(Karnataka) and Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg and south Kolhapur dts (MS).
There are 140 Jesuits (77 priests, 53 scholastics, 10 Brothers)
who work in this region called “Goa province”. It is
true they are supporting nomadic tribes also. But the suspicion
is they have a secret understanding with the RSS and VHP goons
to finish off Protestant pro-Dalit churches.
VHP’s Ashok Singhal is on record saying he likes Syrian
Christians and Bohra Muslims. Jesuits run top educational institutions
throughout India.

Syrian Research on RSS: A Cochin report talks of a research
institution, Sorbonne University, Paris, where Fr. Vincent Kunduklam
of St. Joseph Pontifical Seminary, Aluva, Kerala, is doing his
doctoral research on “RSS and church in India”. He
is the first Christian priest to do a doctoral thesis on the RSS,
that too in a foreign university. His Malayalam book, RSS:
Enthu? Engot? suggests that the Catholic church must closely
study the RSS terrorist philosophy, organisational structure and
working of all the socio-politico-cultural movements in the society
in which it operates, imbibe the best in them and invite a dialogue
on their negative aspects.
He praises the phenomenal growth of the RSS in post-“independent” India
with its tentacle firmly rooted in all walks of life, all nooks
and corners of the country that kindled his curiosity. In MP, he
came across a European who had been doing a doctoral thesis on “Hindu
nationalism” in the Sorbonne University.
Brahminised church bows to Hindu terrorists — betraying
Dalits
JOHN DAYAL, ALL INDIA CHRISTIAN COUNCIL, NEW DELHI
Truth is best expressed in language that is politically incorrect.“ Casteism
is terrorism,” Vellore’s Catholic Bishop Chennapa,
one of only half a dozen Dalit Bishops in India, said at a meeting
of the All India Christian Council in New Delhi’s Indian
Social Institute in May. Earlier in September, Chennapa, the only
Indian Bishop at Durban’s United Nations World Conference
on Racism, had told just about the same thing to India’s
women permanent representative at Geneva, who was the brain of
the official delegation to the meeting. Loyal Government servant
and upper caste, the lady lost her diplomatic cool. “You
Christians too have caste discrimination,” she burst out. “Madame”,
replied the 65- year-old Bishop, “we learnt it from you.” End
of interaction.
DALAI LAMA CRITICISES DR. AMBEDKAR
The government used all its diplomatic might to ensure that the
Inter governmental meeting document at Durban did not mention caste,
even if the NGO Forum’s document devoted a dozen paragraphs
to it, and even if UN Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson,
UN Secretary General Kofi Anan and South African President Mbeki
found caste to be worth an international airing.
Chennapa, for 40 years a fighter against caste discrimination
within the church and the community and currently chairman of the
Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India’s Commission
on SC/ST, was for a brief while on stage with Ramdas Athawale,
the RPI member of Lok Sabha from Maharashtra.
Neo-Budhists (Ambedkarites) were never accepted by the other sects,
particularly Tibetan Budhists.
Even the Dalai Lala has many times spoken against conversions
endorsing the RSS edict against freedom of faith. When Dr. Ambedkar
made his decisive move, the Church was neither theologically nor
politically equipped to make a response to the historical event.
It would have been unthinkable for the hierarchy to even listen
to a man who had challenged M.K. Gandhi on his ideology and his
practices. The fact that Dr. Ambedkar wrote the Constitution of
India (which gave Christians and Muslims the protection of freedom
to practice preach and propagate their faith and the protection
of Article 30, for their institutions, among other things) did
not necessarily bring the establishment-loving hierarchy of the
Catholic and protestant churches any closer to him, much less the
still nascent evangelical world whose British and American ancestry
and fixed focus on the sinful soul and not the suffering body ensured
that they did not even look at the matter.
CASTE-BASED CHURCH
Fifty years, the Second Vatican Council and the Laussane convention
later, it is a moot question if the Church is any the more alive
to the great churning that is taking place in the Dalit world,
particularly after their success at Durban in making Dalit into
an international Noun.
There is, of course, the matter of guilt. Church, whatever be
the denomination, has still not exorcised itself of the devil of
caste. The southern states are full of horror stories narrated
by priests and nuns of discrimination within the church.
There are still only half a dozen or less Dalit Bishops in
the 150 dioceses even though the Dalit population in the community
may be closer to 60%, and as high as 80 to 90% in states such
as AP, TN, Gujarat and Punjab.
Aspirants for a religious life speak of parish priests who refuse
to give the certificate required for admission into a seminary.
Others speak of caste loyalties in religious orders. The laity
outside of TN and AP revels in its ignorance or is ashamed of its
roots for fear of ridicule from both ‘high caste Catholics’ and
non-Christians in their secular society. That is in the Catholic
Church.
BRAHMINISM AS ROOT OF EVIL
Among protestant groups, several churches are entirely caste based.
Some denominations close their eyes and say they are not just concerned
about caste and a few others are proud of their alleged Brahminical
ancestry and preen themselves every time the RSS and the rest of
the Sangh Parivar extols their “Indian-ness”.
Durban also exemplified another dilemma. Even among those who
want to talk about the Dalit issue, there is a reluctance to talk
about the causative factors, the historical injustices, the tenets
of Manu, the law Giver, and how in many parts of India, Manu
Smriti and not the Constitution of India is the statute that
is implemented. There is, it seems, a reluctance to identify Brahmanism
as the root of the evil, and Hindutva, whichever political
group it hides in, as the current agency of aggression. At its
funniest, this tendency to identify with the upper castes is most
visible in the enculturation that is so much a part of contemporary
liturgical reforms. Almost without exception, the liturgical experimentation
is in the adaptation of Brahminical prayer forms. No energy has
been spent even researching the Dalit and tribal forms of worship
and trying to see how best they can be incorporated in a Christian
thanksgiving at Mass or in other prayers.
Initiators of Inter faith dialogue even at the highest levels
see no harm in calling in a few “high” priests and
jointly reciting a few vedic mantras with them. I am yet to hear
of a major inter faith dialogue involving Ambedkarite Budhists
or Dalits and tribals of other persuasions.
At its politically most criminally naive, this reluctance to challenge
the Hindutva thesis becomes evident in moves that give
legitimacy to the worst parishioners of Hindutva, the
leaders of the RSS, Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bajrang Dal.
The Dalits have called them terrorists. The Congress, the Samajwadi
Party and the Communists have branded them murderous and anti-democratic
ideologies.
CHRISTIANS PRAISE R.S.S.
But for some church leaders, either worried about their FCRA accounts,
their corruption or their institutions, or actually identifying
themselves with the caste and Hindu terrorist forces represent
the one reality with whom they want to engage in dialogue.
One such group, which shall go nameless, its minutes honoured
the Hindu terrorist forces by affirming that “the RSS as
an organization has emerged as a representative of this confluence.
The RSS has its strong network all over the country. The time has
come for us to recognize it as one of the forces related to Hinduism.” The
church group of course did not ask the RSS its position on caste
and Manu Smriti. RSS chief Kuppahalli Sudershan was more
faithful to his tenets. He said no Indian could become a Hindu,
because by being born in India, every Indian is a Hindu and that
this is the understanding of the RSS. Sudershan also kept the focus
firmly on conversions. Conversions, another word for freedom of
faith, is a preoccupation not just of the RSS but of the entire
Hindu terrorist stream in Indian polity which exists even in the
Congress and which had fought an unceasing war with the great Jawaharlal
Nehru. Ever since 1950, there has been a systematic effort, through
Parliament and the courts and largely through the administrative
machinery, to curtail the freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution.
COURTS SUPPORT HINDU TERRORISTS
The Presidential Order of 1950 on the affirmative action for Dalits
effectively banned their freedom to choose their religion, retaining
them firmly in the Brahminical stranglehold. The Niyogi commission
was set upto malign the church, and was followed by the so called
Freedom of Religion Bills in MP, Orissa and Arunachal. Not surprisingly,
both the Centre and several of the states have tried many times
in the past three decades to bring forward more such laws. Courts
have interpreted freedoms under Article 30 and have put severe
restrictions on minority institutions in matters of administration.
In the states, curbs are sought to be placed on schools, orphanages
and other institutions. The list is unending if one sits down to
identify the erosions that have taken place in the implantation
of the constitution since Jan.26, 1950 when the document drafted
by Dr. Ambedkar in the Constituent Assembly was promulgated as
the law of the land. The demonisation of the minorities, which
we have seen in the post-Durban and post- New York World Trade
Tower attacks, is inevitable.
MASS CONVERSION HATED
Their first response has been to say that Budhism is nothing but
another sect of Hinduism, much as they said Sikhism is just another
sect. If this be so, Dalits joining Budhism would at best be a
movement between sects, no threat at all. The Sikhs protested when
their identity was sought to be hijacked, and so have the Budhists,
maintaining that they are distinct religions with their own way
of life, their own identity, and their own cultures. The second
and cunning response of the Hindu terrorists has been to try to
bind the church into disowning freedom of faith at a mass scale.
Conversion by one man is okay, it says but not by many more. In
their several encounters with religious heads of several churches,
who they cornered into dialogues through the self-appointed champion
of the BJP govt., the National Commission for Minorities, the Parivar
has almost forced them into denouncing conversions and foreswearing
any future activity. This is the impression one gathers for want
of a detailed narrative of what transpired in the many meetings.
We all maintain there are no forced conversions, nor any that are
induced by money. That is a proven fact, and theologically indisputable.
But will we reject a group that seeks entry just because its numbers
are large? Meenakshipuram was a watershed when an entire village
converted to Islam. It led to bloodshed with govt. agencies conspiring
in a Brahminical backlash. This is not about some fly by night
religious guerrillas who may want a bite or two of the cake. The
church at large has to ask itself serious questions. Will faith
and mission be overawed by the fear of government-sponsored terror?
Will we be co-opted once again by the establishment, the Brahminical
hierarchy now dictating the identity of the nation, perverting
its secular ethos and rewriting its history? How far are we — India’s
Dalit Church — ready to go in obedience to our own solidarity
with the poor and the Dalits? Post-Durban, are we ready to respond
to the Dalit request that our schools cater not to the elite of
Bombay and New Delhi —who treat us like we were teaching
shops and therefore have no qualms in persecuting the church — but
for Dalits in rural areas. Not Low Cost Schools for Low Caste People,
but real, high quality English medium schools which will allow
Dalit children to find their place under the sun in the modern
age? The answers have to be given soon.
