SECRET OF MODI VICTORY

If Sonia doesn’t take over as PM, India may go BJP way : Will Gujarat repeat in Karnataka ?

India has no ideology. It never had any ideology. The only ideology of the people of India — rich or poor, upper or lower caste — is caste ideology. “Caste identity” has come to the fore and taken over the supreme seat of power. We have said this umpteen times. Upper castes (15%) — disguising themselves in “political ideologies” like Communists, Congress, BJP etc. have been stripped naked. Where is the ideology in India? Did Jawaharlal Nehru, India’s first Brahmin Prime Minister, have any ideology? E.M.S. Namboodiripad was first and foremost a Manuwadi.

Dirty Ghanchi: The only time when “caste identity” (ideology) becomes crystal clear is during the election. But as the Gujarat Assembly election results caused the victory of the Muslim mass murderer, Narendra Modi, the upper caste-controlled mass media—both print and electronic— cunningly suppressed the most inconvenient, unpleasant Truth.

In the dense euphoric cloud raised by the victory of the Brahmana Jati Party (BJP), the current darling of the upper castes, India’s mischievous manuwadi media deliberately buried this supreme Truth. And made it invisible.

What is this Truth? The Truth is the Gujarat Assembly election turned out to be a fight between the state’s three upper castes led by the Patels, Brahmins and Banias — to whom the BJP belonged — and the Dalits, Tribals, Backward Castes led by the dirty Ghanchi (oil-crushing jati), Narendra Modi.

The Congress leadership also belonged to the same hated upper castes. The proof is it fielded a Patel (Dinsha Patel, a Union Minister) from the very same exploiting castes to fight Modi and got defeated.

All the oppressed castes (SC/ST/BCs) and Muslims did vote for the Congress with minor exceptions. Otherwise there was no chance of the Congress putting up such a tough fight in the 182 Assembly constituencies.

The “revolt” of a handful of Patel, Bania and Brahmin top leadership led by Keshubhai Patel may be a plot to confuse the Congress and its vote bank comprising the oppressed sections.

The Patel leadership revolted against Modi because he kicked them nicely, a treatment which they deserved. But the upper castes are the most caste-conscious lot and they know that BJP alone can protect their caste-class interests.

The Congress mistaking Keshubhai Patel’s revolt to the entire community revolt fielded the very same wolves scaring away the innocent lambs. This strategy created confusion in the minds of the oppressed majority.

Modi’s caste never revealed: There is yet another more important reason. Narendra Modi is an angry low caste OBC who was never allowed to come up in the country’s most violent state of Gujarat, the homeland of the “apostle of non-violence”. SC/ST/BCs perhaps found a powerful supporter in Modi.

Millions of words were printed and spoken during and after the Gujarat election but not one paper or TV revealed Modi’s caste. When we told his caste to some “well-informed” people they were simply shocked.

In other words, Modi used the electoral battle as a “caste war” against the state’s three upper castes. And won the war hands down.

Karnataka warning: Not a single journalist came out with this Truth because it is too bitter a pill to swallow. Or else how could a dirty Ghanchi drown the powerful Patel, Banias and Brahmins?

Karnataka is another big state where the Congress may lose if it follows the Gujarat pattern. (DV Nov.1, 2007 p.20: “Karnataka caste war”).

All over India, caste is emerging as the one and the only ideology. As it is so simple and needs not even an elementary school education, every one is born into a caste (and dies in the same caste). One needs no book to study this ideology. The person (being a victim of his caste suffers social and economic degradations solely owing to his caste) naturally uses his one and the only weapon — caste vote — during the election.

That is why we very often call for “caste war” because class in India is “caste”.

Such an atmosphere is ready in Karnataka. All the jatis are fully polarised but the Congress Party leadership is not able to see this development.

Karnataka has three upper castes —Brahmin, Lingayat and Vokkaligas. Brahmana Jati Party is the monopoly of Brahmins, Lingayats plus the urban “educated” voters (who lost their caste consciousness). Together they form a formidable force. H.D. Deve Gowda’s jati votes (Vokkaliga) by and large will go with him.

That leaves the SC/ST/BCs and Muslims who are followers of Siddaramaiah, a shepherd (Kuruba). But he is hated by the three upper castes.

Only if he is announced as the CM candidate there will be a landslide for the Congress but the entire upper castes, their media, and their lackeys within the SC/ST/BC/Muslims will not allow it. And that means BJP victory.

We repeat: India’s one and the only ideology is caste. We have to use it to kill the caste system which the upper caste owners of the caste system (Hinduism) will not allow us to destroy.

Anti-Brahmin war within BJP: Our problem is every upper caste (ruling class) person knows this caste ideology and is doing every thing to protect and promote his caste by confusing the victims of the caste system.

We gave the latest example of Gujarat’s Ghanchi using his caste to kill the casteists. In this he had the full backing of his mentor, L.K. Advani, a Sindhi Khatri who suffered so much of Brahminical tyranny. The Brahmana Jati Party itself is undergoing a serious caste war within the party.

With Vaidik Vajpayee biding good-bye, the road is now paved for Advani.

Sack anti-people PM-FM: Sonia Gandhi being a foreigner and a recent entrant to politics has not understood the rules of the caste war. She is too innocent and can be easily manipulated.

But she must know she is facing a parliament election. Can she face the people with such a notorious anti-people PM? Manmohan Singh and Chidambaram are powerful guardians of India’s lions, tigers, wolves. The lambs and sheep hate these cruel animals which devour them. How can she face parliament election keeping such proven blood-suckers at the helm of affairs?

We have repeatedly made this demand. But as the PM and FM are enjoying the full support of the ruling upper castes, Sonia cannot understand how the two are brick by brick pulling her party down.

We demand immediate reshuffle of Union Cabinet after the dismissal of the PM and FM. She should pack the cabinet with powerful leaders from SC/ST/BCs and Muslim/Christian/Sikhs. We demand that she herself should take over as Prime Minister. Then only her party will win.

If not BJP will be back in power.

We understand her fears. The Brahmins may be a micro-minority of mere 3% but they have established a total grip on the brains of not merely non-Hindu SC/ST/BCs but also Muslim/Christian/Sikhs. Twice her attempts to take over the leadership were sabotaged by the Brahminical rulers. The fellows who killed their own “Father of the nation” will not spare a frail, foreign woman. We know it. But there is no other alternative. Rahul Gandhi is still an elementary class student in this turbulent caste politics of India. His worth was proved in UP earlier and Gujarat later. Sonia alone has the charisma.

Despite all these indications if Sonia still shirks and fields her 40-year-old urban-bred son against the 80-year Hindu terrorist L.K. Advani, it will definitely disappoint the oppressed majority of India. However, it may please the micro-minority urban upper castes who may switch from BJP to Congress. But India’s fate is decided mainly in the villages which has no attraction for Rahul. It is risky to field an untested person.

As days pass India is becoming more and more violent and its ruling class extremely ruthless, aggressive and pleasure-loving. Both the present PM and FM are catering to this class. Sonia herself has to take over to electrify the country.
