Stunned and unnerved at the ignominious defeat in the latest parliament elections, the Brahmin Jingoist Party (BJP) and in fact every RSS-infected Hindu has gone berserk betraying a sick mind closed to all the niceties of a cilized behaviour under a democratic setup. The gimmicks (nautanki) played by the Brahmin woman, Sushma Swaraj, threatening to resign her Rajya Sabha seat, tonsure her head; sleep on the bare floor, wear a widow-like White career and live only on parched gram in the event of “the foreign-born” Sonia Gandhi becoming the PM of India, is nothing new or unknown to the history of Brahmins resorting to such unethical, mean and devilish methods to achieve their objective.
BLOOD-SUCKING PARASITES
We find a very interesting but true account of blood-sucking parasitic class of Brahmins fleecing the poor common man through blackmail, coercion and treachery in the past that stands recorded in the preamble to the regulation XX1- 1795 of the East India Company (Writings & Speeches Vol.1, p.220). While focusing on the question whether Hindu civilization was a civilization or infamy, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has very clearly brought out the dark and despicable features of the character and culture of the Brahmins who were looked upon as ‘super intellectual class (the salt of the earth) to rear and guide the civilization. The indictment runs thus:
His profession had lost all its nobility. He had become a pest. The Brahmin systematically preyed on society and profiteered in religion. The Puranas and. Shastras which he manufactured in tons are treasure trove of sharp practices which the Brahmins employed to befool, beguile and swindle the common mass of poor, illiterate and superstitious Hindus. It is impossible at this address to give references for them. | can only refer to the coercive measures which the Brahmins had sanctified as proper to be employed against the Hindus to the encashment of their rights and privileges. Let those who want to know read the preamble to Regulation XXI of 1795. According to it whenever a Brahmin wanted to get anything which “could not be willingly got from his victim, he resorted to various coercive practices — lacerating his own body with knives and razors or threatening to swallow some poisons were the usual tricks he practised to carry eat his selfish purposes. There were other ways employed by the Brahmin to coerce the Hindus which were as extraordinary as they were shameless: A common practice was the erection in front of the house. Of his victim of the koori — a circular enclosure in which a pile of wood was placed — within the enclosure an old woman was placed ready to obey burnt.in the koorah if his object was hot granted. The seceond devise of such a kind was the placing of his women and children in the sight of his victim and threaten to behead them. The third was the dharana— starving on the doorstep of the victim. This is nothing. Brahmins had started making claims for a right to deflower the women of non-Brahmins. The practice prevailed in the family of the Zamorin of Calicut and among the Vallabhachari sect of Vaishnavas. What depths of degradation the Brahmins had fallen to.
Look, pause and think. Is there any change, a wee bit, in the behavioral pattern of the high-profile Sindoori’d woman of the 21st century and her uncivilized forefathers of the dark ages?
SONIA WINS
Sonia Gandhi almost single-handedly won the parliamentary polls poised against a heavily armed hordes of cultural nationalists. In this no-holds-barred campaign if on one side was the Ayodhya hero Advani raising dust storms behind the wheels of his rath across the country followed by a whole brigade of loud-mouthed drumbeaters of Hindutva resurgence — Venkaiah Naidu, Nadrendra . Modi, Pramod Mahajan, Arun Jaitely, Arun Shourie, Shushma Swaraj, Uma Bharti, Vinay Katiar and many others spewing venom — there was at the head of the superman Vajpayee himself, a past master in the art of speaking in two tongues and providing protective cover to his henchmen for their acts of omission and commission like Tehelka defence deal scam, coffin gate scandal, Gujarat Genocide2002 black deed.
Sonia’s foreign origin issue was picked up and used aggressively to arouse emotions of the lunatic fringe of the Hindus against her which however backfired and boomeranged – on the hatemongers themselves.
May 13 proved to be the dooms day for them. The real masters, the people of India, had the last taught reject the self-announced vikas purushs and laugh purushs of the Golwalkar-brand of Hindu Rashtra. Sushma’s was the last act in sheer desperation of self-torture for preventing Sonia being installed as PM that also ended up in fiasco and ridicule.
By declining the highest post of 9 PM Sonia killed many birds with a single master shot.
The high-sounding catches phrases “feel good” or “India shining” evaporated in the thin air and those shouting it fell flat on the ground licking the dust.
GANDHI’S THREAT
The churlish pranks of Sushma and the damage and shame she has brought to the developing polity of the country has brought back to mind yet another bout of agonizing memories of blackmail, coercion and mental torture peculiar only to Hindu character and culture, when Babasaheb Ambedkar was put under the same type of excruciating pressure to give up the package of rights under the Communal Award .in 1932 which he had won after a long drawn out battle with M.K. Gandhi and the Congress. Gandhi at that time underwent “fast unto death to deprive the Untouchables of their right for separate electorate. The threats to murder Dr. Ambedkar also started increasing with each passing day. What a horrible ordeal it was* for Babasaheb at that time has been penned by Babasaheb himself:
“As to me it is no exaggeration -to say that no man was placed in a greater and graver dilemma than | was then. It was a baffling situation. I had to make a choice between two different alternatives. There was before me the duty, which | owed as a part of common humanity, to save Gandhi from sure death. There was before me the problem of saving for the Untouchables the political rights which the Prime Minister had given them. | responded to the call of humanity and saved the life of Mr. Gandhi by agreeing to alter the Communal Award in a manner satisfactory to Mr. Gandhi. (W&S Vol.9 p.88).
What a contrast. The humanists few responding to the call of humanity and the country on one side and the power-hungry cultural monsters obsessed with the philosophy of “one country, one culture, one nation” on the other. But till how long will this life of contradictions and the rule of tyranny last? The verdict 2004 has shown the way.
