A Black American’s Recipe For Revolution In India

One of the reasons for India’s years of backwardness and poverty is Hinduism. The caste system and untouchability and the inhuman treatment by the so-called “high” caste Hindus towards the dalits and other minorities is a big obstacle in the way of progress of India. Suppression. oppression” and discrimination of Untouchables and other minorities, who constitute over 50% of the population, does not help a nation to progress, and develop itself. A nation cannot develop if a vast portion of , its population is harassed, properties looted, houses burnt. Their farms are destroyed, and they are persecuted, killed in masses and burnt alive. Emancipation of the dalits and other impoverished .SC and ST from .Hinduism will lead to the progress and prosperity of the nation and India will be a free country. It is not yet free. Although India got rid of the Englishman, the slavery. oppression and exploitation is still continued by a people called Brahmins and other ‘high’ caste Hindus. When the caste system, untouchability, oppression, exploitation and persecution of the dalits and other minorities is abolished totally from the scene of the Indian society then the people will have the real freedom. A free country means that its people should be free and not its rivers, its mountains, its jungles. These things are always free and will remain free. It is almost impossible to eradicate untouchability from the Hindu society, because abolishing untouchability means abolishing Hinduism itself. Abolishing untouchability and caste system means that there will be no more monopoly of priesthood of Brahmins, Their livelihood will be finished. Kshatriya and Vaishyas will also suffer because dalits are the cheap labour and perform mean jobs for all of them. It will be a severe blow to the capitalists too who are mostly high caste Hindus. So it is against the interest of all of them and also against the interest of national news media too, because it is also controlled by high castes. All of them will try hard with all their resources at their disposal to keep untouchability and caste system alive and stop the conversion. specially to Islam because so far they did not mind and objected to conversion to other religions. To stop conversion (to Islam) the high caste Hindus are trying to tempt and bribe the dalits by promising them equal treatment, permission to enter their temples etc. It is not their genuine desire but they are helpless. Let them beg the Untouchables. But the dalits must not be deceived by their show business and tactic. They should act wisely. Dalits must put them on trial. To test their sincerity about their promises dalits must demand the following things or some such things from them :– 1. They must discard those version from the Vedas, Shastras, Puranas, Upanishad, Gita and other books which advocate untouchability and caste system, and revise these books, 2. Out of four Shankarcharyas, two dalits must be appointed. 3. At Tirupati, Kashi, Mathura and other big temples Untouchables must be appointed as high priests and Brahmins must be under them, 4. Karan Singh, AB Vajpeyi Balraj Madhok, Bala Saheb Deoras and other prestigious Brahmins must give their daughters in marriage to dalits and start matrimonial relationships with them, 5. Jagadguru Shankaracharyas and other high priests must go to the house of Untouchables and dine and sleep with them and invite the dalits to their mutts as guests and the system must continue 6. All the Shankaracharyas and other A Black American’s Recipe for Revolution in India priests must accept and declare that dalits are more sacred to them than the Go Matha (cow) because they are human beings like the Shankaracharyas. It is obvious that they would not accept these goodies. So the dalits must quit them and the Hinduism and meanwhile to show their solidarity they (a) must observe 15th August as a day of solidarity and liberation from Hinduism, (b) train all the dalits to defend themselves in the case of attack from RSS, Anand Marg and other, fascist Hindu groups. (Deoli tragedy would not have happend if dalits were well prepared) (c) boycott newspapers and other things dominated by high caste Hindus. (d) organize themselves and seek cooperation of other oppressed minorities. Continue struggle untill the triumph of the Dalit Revolution.
