Justice : Brahminical style in India

I am citing some of the contrasting incidents which took place between India's two rival sections — Brahminical people and Mulniwasi Bahujans.

(1) Gandhi vs Gandhi: When M.K. Gandhi, a Gujarati Bania, was shot dead by Nathuram Godse, a Chitpavan Brahmin, not even a soul was hurt leave aside killing of anyone in revenge but when Mrs. Indira Gandhi, a Kashmiri Brahmin, was shot dead by a Sikh bodyguard, over 5,000 Sikhs were butchered, Sikh women were raped and properties worth several hundred crores were looted and destroyed by the Hindus in Delhi and outside.

(2) IMDT Act vs. Ramjanma Bhumi: The Brahminical judiciary recently repealed the 22-year-old IMDT Act 1983 converting 20 millions Indian Dalits into aliens in one stroke. But the same judiciary has refused to decide the Babri Masjid cases for several decades since the same has the effect of robbing all Brahminical parties of an issue of Muslim "appeasement" (which is a non-issue for the masses).

(3) Godhra vs. Gujarat pogrom: On 27/2/2002 at Godhra (Gujarat), 59 people travelling in S-6 compartment of Sabarmati Express were burnt alive. Some Hindu terrorist outfits spread rumors that Muslims burnt the Rambhaktas returning from Ayodhya. But was there such a conspiracy? (U.C. Banerjee panel has investigated the incidents and confirmed that the same was an accident). The Godhra carnage led to the "Gujarat Genocide". In fact, these were not riots but a well planned pogrom in which over 2,000 Muslims were killed by Hindu terrorists with the tacit support of the administration. The Gujarat Govt. not only failed to protect Muslims but did everything to protect the murderers when cases were launched against them. Supreme Court confirmed this when the Best Bakery case was transferred from Gujarat to Bombay. All the accused in the train-burning case are Muslims and all of them are languishing in the jails for the last four years under POTA, whereas not a single person involved in the "Gujarat Genocide" is arrested under POTA.

(4) Best Bakery — Baroda trial vs. Bombay retrial: As part of the "Gujarat Geoncide", 14 Muslims were burnt alive in the Best Bakery at Baroda. Trial Judge H.U. Mahida of the royal family of Rajpipla, Gujarat, acquitted all 21 accused. He cited communal tension, failure of industrial policy and discontent over reservation policy as the three major reasons for riots breaking out in the country. What reservation policy has to do with the burning alive, raping, tearing apart the wombs, killing children and inflicting other unmentionable atrocities on Muslims? The judge was about to be rewarded but the media and public scuttled the move.

Later the Supreme Court transferred this case to Bombay for re-trial, which was conducted by Judge Abhay Thipsay who convicted 9 persons. How the same case was decided against some of the accused in which every thing was same except the judge? Before Thipsay, 9 out of 75 witnesses turned hostile while in Baroda 68 turned hostile. Didn't a legal luminary once said that law is what the judge says and not what is written in the statute books?

(5) Jessica vs. Salman Khan: When actor Salman Khan kills a black buck in isolation in the middle of a forest, he gets jail sentence for an year by magistrate Rajpurohit. Entire Bishnoi community got united (a rare phenomenon in a Hindu community) to get Salman Khan punished. But when Manu Sharma (a Brahmin) shoots a living girl (Jessica Lal) dead in the presence of 50 "esteemed" guests, seven years later he walks away scot free. S.L. Bhayan was promoted to the High Court. Bhayana hails from Haryana where Manu Sharma's father is a minister. Incidently the ace investigator of the case was none other than a "meritorious" Brahmin, Surendra Sharma, police inspector. Birds of the feather flock together.

(6) P.V. Narasimha Rao vs. Lalu Prasad Yadav: Brahminical media does not miss any opportunity to tarnish the image of a highly popular mass leader, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and keeps on reminding the Indian public that he is having nine children as if he is solely responsible for the failure of family planning. But the same media becomes blissfully ignorant on the children of P.V. Narasimha Rao (Brahmin), former PM who had 11 children.

Lalu is being hounded by different agencies including the CBI, courts, IT Depts. etc. in every possible way for his alleged involvement in the fodder scam in which there is no proof of his involvement. Not only this. The progress of the case is being monitored by the higher courts but Rao was acquitted by this very watchful impartial meritorious judiciary in the case of Rs. 1-crore bribe from Harshad Mehta and bribing four MPs of JMM (Rs. 40 lakh to each MP) for saving his government in parliament. Our conscience-keepers (courts) did not take note of the testimonies offered by Mehta and Shibu Soren before the national and international media. In fact Harshad Mehta shouted over roof tops as to how he stacked currency notes in the alleged brief case before the full public glare but our courts and media refused to take a note of the same.

(7) Judeo Singh vs. Bangaru Laxman: In a TV sting operation, Bangaru Laxman (a Dalit), the then president of BJP, was caught on camera accepting Rs. 1 lakh for party fund. The poor fellow was sacked as party chief but when Judeo Singh, a royal blue blood, was caught in similar operation accepting a much larger bribe he was rewarded with MP seat in Rajya Sabha. Whenever the media gives instances of BJP misdeeds it quotes Bangaru Laxman only but Judeo forgotten.

(8) Pandit Sukh Ram vs. Mayawati: Pt. Sukhram (Brahmin), former Telecom Minister of Rao's cabinet, was involved in a huge telecom scandal. When his house was raided, the CBI found Rs. 3 crore in his bedroom. To avoid arrest he ran out of the backdoor of his residence like a thief. Our meritorious judiciary has not yet decided the case. Probably they are waiting for an opportunity to absolve panditji of every sin. Whereas Mayawati (a Dalit mass leader) is being persecuted by the same court in the so-called Taj Corridor scandal. CBI told the court that no case could be launched against her in the absence of sufficient evidences. But the apex court is not allowing the CBI to close the case. On the contrary, they are trying different methods such as disproportionate assets case etc. to somehow implicate her.

The Brahminical media is faithfully giving imaginary figures of a Rs. 120 crore scandal. How Taj Corridor scandal can involve so big an amount of money when the total work done till date is not more than a few crore rupees? The media loves to hound Dalits.

Why do Mulnivasi Bahujans get bugged up? Did not the Manusmriti say when a shudra abuses a Brahmin, he should be hanged? And when a Brahmin kills a shudra, he should only be warned?

What then is the moral of the story? Hail Manusmriti. That is Manuwadi's way of doing justice.

What should be our response?

We either accept the Manuwadi justice and perish or fight back and destroy Brahminism. Choice is ours.

LETTERS TO EDITOR

Federation of Indian American Christian Organizations of North America, Inc.(FIACONA), 110-Maryland Ave., NE Suite #303, Washington, DC, 20002: Mrs. Shelley Thomas, wife of Dr. Samuel Thomas of Emmanuel Missions of India, met officials in Washington, over her husband's politically motivated arrest near Delhi. She appealed to the officials to intervene on behalf of her husband who was arrested by the Rajasthan police near New Delhi on March 16. She was accompanied by Michael Glenn, the executive director of the US operations of the organization. Dr. Samuel Thomas, president of Emmanuel Missions of India (EMI) was visiting a Supreme Court Attorney, R.K. Jain, in Noida, to discuss his legal options. The Rajasthan police came to know about the meeting and were waiting for him. We express our deep concern for the safety and security of Christian leaders in India. The EMI mission, which runs a number of institutions including schools, orphanages and a hospital, has been falsely accused by the BJP of publishing a controversial book that allegedly insults their sentiments. EMI founder Bishop M.A. Thomas, his son Dr. Samuel Thomas, and other staff of the mission are facing arrest. On March 16, several plain clothes men grabbed Dr. Samuel Thomas as he was about to meet R.K. JKain. They forced him into a car and drove away. Dr. Graham Staines, who was running a leprosy mission in Baripada in Orissa was burnt alive together with his sons in January 1999. The book in question written ten years ago was authored by an advocate, M.G. Mathew, of Kerala and was intended as a rebuttal to the book, Bunch of Thoughts, by M.S. Golwalkar of the Hindu terrorist party RSS. Bunch of Thoughts is an assault on the pluralist multi-cultural and multi-religious traditions of India. The book praises the policies of the Third Reich as a suitable solution to the problems of pre-war Germany among other such provocative thoughts. John Prabhudoss of FIACONA criticised the Govt. of India for violating the human rights of Christian leaders.

DEVELOPMENT REDEFINED

Know Caste to Know India

India’s most original thinker warns of danger ahead

The country is fast getting divided into two “nations”: the city-based ruling class which lives in its own dream land and the others who are not only slaves but the world’s only slaves enjoying their slavery. Sandwiched between the two nations the country is parallysed. Our unique caste system and the karma theory might have averted a bloody revolution but it pushed the country into stagnation and stink. Our entire planning and development process is collapsing - caught in this contradiction between the two nations.

V.T. Rajshekar, Editor of India’s only revolutionary journal, Dalit Voice, and author of about 100 world-famous books, prescribes a panacea to prevent India becoming a failed state. The book is the result of over 10 years of field work, consultations with public leaders, planners, grassroot workers and social scientists. It deals with a subject which no scholar dared to touch. It is studded with rare insights, flashes of brilliance, great learning, grasp of the intricacies ofIndian life and at the same time extremely provocative.

Swami Vivekananda's wholesale attack on Brahmins

CASTE, CULTURE & SOCIALISM

A book which the Brahmins stopped publishing

The great Vedantist says the Brahmins are not amenable to law. He is above the king and his body cannot be hurt. Says most of the Upanishads are written by Kshatriyas. Our greatest teachers are all Kshatriyas and not Brahmins. He is angry that Brahmins called him a shudra being a Kayasth by caste in Bengal. He criticises the arrogance of Brahmins. If a Brahmana killed a man he is not punished. Even the most wicked of Brahmin has to be worshipped (p. 55). He is very critical of the caste system created by Brahmins. Says "priestcraft is the bane of India" (p.60). He differs with Brahmins and says the caste system is blocking India's progress (p.86). He warns Brahmins that their arrogance is the sign of death (p.91). When the masses wake up and learn the crookedness of Brahmin, the Brahmin

will be blown off (p.103), he warns.
