VICTORY TO D.V. "CASTE IDENTITY" THESIS

Brahmin decision to unite & start own party is slap on the face of BJP & Pejawara Swami

A report in the country's premier Brahmin daily, the Hindu (Dec.27, 2004), on the three-day gala Karnataka State Brahmin Conference in Bangalore brings a happy news which we very much welcome. It said:

" Brahmins should unite to fight for their constitutional rights... was the theme of the conference".

According to this report delegates representing different states of the country called for the "unity of their caste people".

We fully agree with this decision of the Brahmins to unite as a caste. This is what we have been also telling that every caste or rather every subcaste in India must unite, strengthen its identity and thereby consolidate itself.

We have written a book itself on this subject, Caste ÑÊA Nation Within the Nation, (Books for Change, Bangalore, 2004) in which we have asked the Brahmins also to strengthen themselves as a caste.

Angry with BJP: But when we called upon the different oppressed Dalit and Backward Castes to strengthen their "caste identity", some Brahmins and their bum-lickers criticised us and called us casteists. When the Brahmin conference called for their jati unity they were mum.

Tamil Nadu Brahmins Association president N. Narayan in his speech said the Brahmins were planning "a political party to protect the caste from further onslaught". (Hindu, Dec.27, 2004).

This is a wonderful move. Brahmins must launch their own party. The Brahmins have every reason to be angry with their own Brahmana Jati Party (BJP) because it has disappointed them.

We were the first in India to suggest caste-based parties. Because the existing political parties Ñ the Congress, BJP, Communists etc. Ñ have disappointed the SC/ST/BCs because the leadership of these parties has been captured by the upper castes, their oppressors.

" Casteology" replaces ideology: That is why all over India caste-based parties are coming up only because the SC/ST/BCs Ñ the country's three most oppressed segments ÑÊhave found in them better response. Since caste (jati) is nothing but an extended family, a people belonging to a jati find themselves more at home in their jati party.

Lalu Prasad's RJD, Mulayam's SP, Mayawatis BSP, Sharad Pawar's NCP, Ramdoss' PMK are prominent caste-based parties. A coalition of such parties is ruling in the Centre and in the states like Maharashtra, Karnataka etc.

As parliamentary democracy wakes up more and more oppressed people, more and more caste-based parties will spring up. This is natural in a country like India where every ideology has failed including Marxism and the only ideology that gave confidence to the deprived destitutes is "casteology", if we can coin a word like that. And a coalition of different castes and communities will rule the different states on the principle that each caste and community should gets its share of human rights in proportion to its population.

The future political setup in India will be mainly caste-based as the oppressed sections are losing faith in the existing party formations and the governments they form. We are happy the Brahmins, the principal component of India's ruling class, have also finally realised this supreme Truth and getting ready to form their jati party. Wonderful.

Muslim butchered in Gujarat: The Congress was the original Brahminical party of India. But when it started talking of SC/ST/BCs and Muslims and their reservations, the Brahmins did not like it and crossed over to BJP. But even this pure Brahmin party of Hindu nazis had to disappoint the Brahmins when compulsions of vote politics made it to imitate the Congress. When the BJP resorted to mass killing of Muslims in Gujarat as part of its ideology, the non-Brahmins in it revolted. BJP could not satisfy the Brahmins because it had to please different castes to remain in power. In other words, BJP had to cheat the Brahmins under compulsions of vote politics.

The Backward Caste revolt within the BJP led by Uma Bharati and the excesses of their vaidik Frankenstein, Kanchi swami, has brought more misery on Brahmins. Never before they have suffered so much of frustrations, so clearly visible on the faces of Brahmins attending the Bangalore conference.
So at this juncture the decision of the Brahmins to unite as a caste and set up a party of their own should be welcomed.

Pejawara swami talks nonsense: But the Pejawara Swami, whose Hindu nazi zeal is hurting Dalits, Backwards, Muslims, Christians, the entire Bahujans ÑÊin his address to the same Brahmin conference, however, struck a discordant note. He spoke nonsense:

In his address, Pejawara Math seer Visveshatheertha Swamy called upon Hindus to beware of vested interests who were trying to divide them on caste lines. He called upon the Akhila Karnataka Brahmana Mahasabha to not only unite Brahmins but also various other communities. (Deccan Herald, Dec.26, 2004).

Thank god, the Pejawara swami's mischievous opinion is not shared by the Brahmin conference. If he does not want the Brahmins to unite and consolidate their caste, why did he accept the conference invitation and address it? Why in his speech he did not criticise the Brahmins for organising their "caste conference"?

The Pejawara swami is a notorious Hindu nazi who like other nazi leaders is never given to honest, straight-forward talk. He says one thing and does exactly the opposite of that. He says he loves Dalits but demolishes the Kanaka Gopura at Udupi.

Kanchi Frankenstein: The Kurubas, (shepherd) are Karnataka's single largest Backward Caste and according to the Pejawara and his parivar they are also Hindu. Then, why did this Hindu hero demolish this historic monument of the Hindus? The people of Karnataka do not agree with him. The Govt. of Karnataka does not agree with him. History does not agree with him. What nonsense this Pejawara is talking? If the govt. does not stop his nazi aggressions, the people themselves must do so. He is a curse on Hindus. If he is so much in love with Dalits, why he did not adopt a Dalit as his successor but took only a Brahmin Ñ that too from his Madhwa sect?

If honest Brahmins heed the advice of Hindu nazis like the Pejawara swami ÑÊwho looks as if he is going the way of the Kanchi Frankenstein ÑÊthey will be deceived as their own BJP did to their jati.
The Pejawara swami is warned not to mislead the Brahmins.

Neither the arrest of the Kanchi culprit nor the BJP call for "Bharat bandh" evoked any response from the "Hindus". This proved that the "Hindus" were not interested in Hinduism but were more interested in their caste because they have understood this Brahmin-led Hinduism is a trap to keep them enslaved. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar had pronounced his verdict on Hinduism long back. But the practical experience gained in the past 50 years during which the different Brahmin-led Hindu parties have deceived the SC/ST/BCs have convinced the oppressed masses that Hinduism is a trap and that they must get out it.

That is why every conscious jati is organising its own caste conference and politically mobilising its members.

We are happy that the Brahmins have at last realised their mistake in pinning their hopes on Gandhi and his Congress and later the RSS-BJP.

Brahminism oppressing Brahmins: The arrest of the Kanchi Frankenstein has proved the hoax called Hinduism. Already Brahminism has been identified and declared as the principal enemy oppressing not only every section of Indians but even the Brahmins themselves. They should stop defending criminals parading as swamis.

One Brahmin writer in a Brahmin daily was trying to put forward a hair-splitting argument and confusing his jatwalas. He was telling his jati people not to blindly defend the Kanchi Frankenstein just because he was a great religious leader on the ground that a religious leader could do no wrong. He was advocating his jati fellows to defend only the "doctrine" and protect their religious institution rather than defending an individual religious leader.

This again is a mischievous statement which does not impress the victims of this religious "doctrine". The vaidiks defend their swamis (godmen) more than their doctrine itself because their religion (we cannot call it a religion but a business) is not based on any ethical or moral principles. It is individual-centric and that is why the vaidiks go all out to defend an individual swami even when he is a proven scoundrel. We can't get a better example than the Kanchi Frankenstein.

Universally hated jati: That is why under Brahminism the veneration of the guru (who has to be strictly a Brahmin) is carried to extreme limits unheard of in any other religion. Muslims and Christians do criticise their religious leaders because their religions are based on sound ethical and moral foundations.

Under Brahminism, the guru is blindly venerated only because he is a Brahmin. That is why Brahminism, which today goes by the name of Hinduism, is not a religion but a business ÑÊa clap-trap.

Brahmin associations must give a serious thought to the great fall of their most famous Kanchi swami and the shame it has brought on the entire community. Like all other jatis, the Brahmins are also a jati. Though each Brahmin subcaste is maintaining its distinct identity, they have joined hands for their collective salvation. They are doing their duty.

While we want them to do their duty honestly for their collective salvation, we want them to allow other jatis also to do their duties. The other jatis also want to unite and consolidate their respective castes by strengthening their "caste identity". But when the Bahujan castes do it, the Brahmins denounce such attempts and dub advocates of "caste identity" as casteists. Why what is good for Brahmins cannot be good for others ÑÊparticularly the victims of brahminism?

Brahmins must note that caste is different from casteism which is the other name for caste system or Hinduism. There is a world of difference between the caste and caste system. Caste is identity.

Caste is an extended family with its history enshrined in the minds of its people, common memories of their travails and triumphs, heroes and villains, enemies and wars, defeats and victories. We have compared the caste to a nation. Casteism is different. It is obnoxious Ñ the ascending order of reverence and descending degree of contempt. This must go.

The Pejawara swami wants to kill the caste (identity) but retain the caste system.

The Brahmins must know that the caste system they created did not bring them mental peace. They no doubt are the rulers but they must also know that they are universally hated. How can a ruler who is hated by every member get a sound sleep? Thinking Brahmins must save their jati. And they can do so only if they heed the warning given by the Karnataka Brahmins Association which has given a slap on the face of Pejawara swami.

The Brahmins must stop listening to the advice of Hindu nazi leaders like Pejawara swami, who is creating so much of confusion in the society like the Kanchi culprit. He has brought a bad name to the entire "Hindus" by his different actions. The Pejawara swamy is warned.
