Angry castes & tribes will explode if Western-style democracy
is imposed: Kenya will repeat in India
Our fear is the horrendous happenings today in Kenya will repeat
in India also if we do not take the stern warning given by Dr.
Babasaheb Ambedkar that India is not a “nation” but
a country of several waring nations,.
In Kenya, the Dec.27, 2007 Presidential election led to over 1,000
dead and over 300,000 displaced in ethnic cleansing. It is over 1 1/2 months
(as we write) but neither the United Nations, USA nor any other
power is able to bring back the warring tribes to sanity. The fear
is Kenya, one of the African continent’s most prosperous
countries, is breaking into pieces.
What is happening in Kenya today is hardly reported in India’s
Brahminical media because the racist Indian ruling class does not
like to read anything about Black Africa. Their heart is in America.
Angriest tribe: Kenya has half a dozen or so
tribes of which four are major. (1) Luos of Raila Odinga, who was
defeated in the presidential election, live mostly in the western
part of Kenya. Kusumu is Kenya’s third biggest city and capital
of the Luos who are the country’s third biggest and the angriest
ethnic group. They are also the country’s most neglected,
poorest, politically and economically ill-treated tribe by the
ruling Kikuyus.
Luos have driven out over 20,000 Kikuyus from the Luo-land. Their
population is estimated at 4 million and most of them voted for
Raila Odinga but Luos say their victory was stolen by the ruling
Kikuyu tribal leader Mwai Kibaki who declared himself elected President
of Kenya.
Kikuyus are the only tribe which gained education, captured
services and flourished in business and became rich — just
like India’s 15% Brahminical rulers.
(2) Luhya is the country’s second biggest tribe, unrelated
to the Luo, but most of them backed Odinga.
(3) Kikuyus together with the closely related Embu and Meru, who
together make up 28% of the Kenyans, are now on the receiving end
from Luos for “stealing the election”.
(4) There is another tribe called Kamba, the fifth largest group,
which backed another leader who got about 9% votes in the presidential
election.
(5) Other tribes like Kiri (6%) are divided though they all voted
against Kibaki. That means Kenya is in a terrible ethnic mess.
India’s ethnic strife: India is still worse
with hundreds of castes, subcastes, tribes and religious minorities
who again are divided.
But India has not flared up into such a gigantic ethnic
war like Kenya despite India’s deeper divisions because
all the castes are arranged in the shape of a pyramid — ascending
order of reverence and descending degree of contempt.
Such a caste system (the other name for Brahminism parading as
Hinduism) is keeping every angry caste under check like the crabs
in a basket. Any crab trying to climb up the basket and escape
will be pulled down by another crab. So much so fishermen going
into sea need not cover the basket. Each crab acts like a policeman.
Gujjar-Meena clash in Rajasthan: A caste (above
another caste in this pyramidical order) will kick the “erring” caste
down below and see that it does not shake the pyramid too much
and thus ensures the safety of the pyramid. The caste below the
revolting caste will do the same duty. This is called the caste
duty (jati dharma) to maintain the Brahminical Social
Order.
When the Gujjar’s rightly revolted in Rajasthan and took
to violence demanding tribal (ST) status, the Meenas (another tribe)
was activated to maintain the balance and stability of the caste
pyramid (jati dharma). (DV Edit June 16, 2007: “Caste
identity rocks Rajasthan: Gujjar - Meena war kills BJP’s
Hindu unity”).
Tribe made into caste: Thank god, Africa has
no Hinduism and that is how an aggrieved tribe spontaneously protests
and revolts because the different tribes are not arranged in the
shape of a pyramid as under the Hindu caste system. This is the
principal reason why “Hindu India” can never see a
revolution — though the caste (ethnic) strife here is much
more serious reaching the boiling point.
The caste in India and the tribe in Africa (or even in India)
are one and the same. Before the Aryans came, India too was a country
of only numerous tribes which the Brahminical people arranged on
a hierarchical order (pyramid) and gave each caste a rank. The
Brahmins then placed themselves on the top of the caste pyramid
and declared themselves Bhoodevatas.
Kenya today has become ungovernable. India too has reached that
stage (DV Edit Dec.1, 2007: “India is fast becoming ungovernable — We
will not allow Brahminical people to dismantle parliamentary democracy”).
But the Hindu (caste system) religion with its poisonous injection
of papa, punya, karma, punar janma and hundreds of other
superstitions injected into our body is keeping the pyramid in
tact (deathless?) — though quite a lot of violent rumblings
are shaking this pyramid.
Kenya is suffering and will continue to suffer as long as the
different ethnic tribes are put in one basket and election held
in the Western-style democracy.
Flawed Indian democracy: For long it is known
that Kenya’s Kikuyus are the worst blood-sucker (tribe) like
India’s micro-minority Brahminical people who used India’s
Western-style democracy and managed to become the ruling class.
They have the additional advantage of the Hindu religion (unlike
in Kenya) to give them the religious sanctity for their exploitation.
That is why we have often said that the Western-style democracy
is not suitable for Asia and Africa which consists of nation-states.
The Western propaganda is that democracy is the best form of govt.
Our study and experience says democracy can be a success only in
a nation-state.
But in a country with many nations (each caste is a nation in
India), some strong but many weak, democracy will become a dictatorship
of the minority. The best example is India where its tiny, less
than 15% ruling upper castes have given international publicity
to its “democratic experiment. (Shape of the Things to
Come, V.T. Rajshekar, DSA-2005, p. 50, Rs. 50).
Vast population made powerless: That is how the
Untouchables forming about 20% of India’s population, Tribals
10% and Backward Castes 35% and Muslims 15%, despite their huge
population, are made powerless.
Africa also copied the Western-style democracy and that is how
Kenya imploded. In many other African countries similar situation
is prevailing.
China diagnoses disease: Western-style democracy
is not the only form of democracy where tribals and caste loyalties
are strong, Western-style democracy will not succeed. India is
the best example to prove this point.
China is the only country in the world to diagnose the disease
of Kenyan ethnic strife when it said:
Western-style democratic theory simply is not suited to African
conditions but rather it caries with it the root of disease. The
election crisis in Kenya is just one example. (Economist,
Feb.9, 2007).
Marxist manipulation in Bengal: In our book, Caste — A
Nation Within the Nation (Books for Change, Bangalore) we
have said that each caste (or even subcaste) is a “nation” by
itself. India with its 2,800 castes has so many “nations”.
This is evident from the growing number of caste-based parties,
caste associations and caste conferences. The Chitpavans asserted
their national identity recently at Pune. (DV Edit Feb.16, 2008).
Under the existing democracy only a candidate with plenty of money
or a caste with strong population strength can get elected. What
about those without the two qualifications?
Because of the Hindu poison injected into the veins of each jati,
their anger is contained. Yet the Gujjar explosion in Rajasthan,
Madiga fury in AP are the beginning of caste consolidation. Each
caste is strengthening its identity — thanks to
parliamentary democracy assuring one vote to one person.
But such a voting system throws up only a leader with a powerful
caste backing. What about those castes which have no strength of
population like the Brahmins and hundreds of other castes? This
is the serious disadvantage of parliamentary democracy in a country
like India where people are poor, illiterate and also made unthinking
who can be easily manipulated.
The marxists are doing it in Bengal and pocketing the
votes of both Dalits and Muslims while proving themselves the
Enemy No.1 of both. The Congress did it earlier.
Slowly but steadily awareness is growing and when the powerful
aggrieved castes (nations) realise they are cheated, they are sure
to explode. Kenya will repeat in India.
