The subtitle of the book rendered in English would be, “Establishing the history and culture of more than 50,000 years of India”.
Author: Author B. Shyam Sunder is termed as ‘Khusroo – e – Dakkhan’ (Khusroo of South), a great Dalit revolutionary leader, an expert in many languages, founder of Bhartiya Bhim Sena and a great social thinker, hailed from Nanded of old Nizam State, now in Maharashtra. He was MLA in Hyderabad in 1947 and MLA of Karnataka in 1957 to 62. He was the first Dalit leader to address the UN Security Council expressing his bitterness about India. Though India signed the Human Rights Declaration, Dalits are not allowed to wear a new cloth, cannot grow mustache, cannot ride a horse in marriage procession, and cannot draw water from a common village well. He is not paid wages and asked to do free bonded labor and his children are, in the name of religion, sacrificed in front of deities.
MAIN WEAPON OF BRAHMIN
Theme of book: In a country where majority of people have a religious belief that their present-day misery, poverty, disease, social position in caste structure and their lot in this life is because of their bad deeds in the previous lives, it is difficult to create self-respect and confidence in them.
The people who spread this ideology among the masses did not deter from killing the perishable bodies of other people for saving their immortal so called soul. It is necessary to remove and destroy the mentality of discrimination from the minds of people who are divided as Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras and Dalits.
The idea that not a single leaf of a tree moves without the wish of god and the god can only be appeased by offering daan and daxina to the gods on earth – the Brahmins, whose main weapon is his religion, this idea needs to be uprooted from the minds of people. A novel with a difference: To
understand all these points, the author created a character in his book, which can hardly be called a novel, though the structure is like that. He is ‘Mahatma Dhan Sampati Maharaj’ and represents the class with the vested interests. Story is all dialogues and the end is as mysterious as a novel of Agatha Chrishi.
IDEOLOGY OF BHUDEVAS
Who is Bhu-devata ?: This Maharaj defines the Bhu-devata’ class as: “Those who have the religious authority and sanction to utilize for their own use, the fruits of the toil of all toiling masses on the earth, are termed as Bhu- devatas.”
In the eyes of Maharaj, it is not necessary to get worried if masses get educated, as long as higher education remains beyond the reach of masses. The constitution of the country is of no importance to them. According to the Maharaj, the republican method of governance is a system of deceiving people. In the lure of electoral position, masses do not even care to look after their own interest, let alone forming their own government. The aim of the class the Maharaj represents is to quote the avatars and in the name of preservation of respect for nation and caste, to keep intact their own control over the lives of the people is their aim. Even then they are a bit worried these days about the awakening that is taking place among the masses and are getting busy in activities of treason and conspiracy against the masses. The purpose of this book is to make the masses aware of this mentality.
ARYANS REPEATEDLY DEFEATED
The manners and customs of Hindus are based on certain elements in their history. That needs to be examined and analyzed under some philosophy to remove the evil influence on the masses.
It is the great tragedy of Indian history that all the governments established in this country after the reign of Asoka and Chandragupta Maurya, behaved with masses of this country as a victor-ruler would behave with the defeated masses The Aryans always kept themselves aloof from the masses, their language, their manners and customs were always different. They controlled the business class, agricultural class and the industries. The Aryans faced the repeated defeats many times from external aggressors because they kept the masses away from them.
MUSLIMS LOVED BRAHMINS
Muslim rulers got busy appeasing the ‘sacred threads’ and so did the British. Even after so-called independence, the situation did not change. The real independence will come to India, the day the Dalits would get the reins of power.
This is the gist of the book, which explains the issues, in the form of dictates of the Maharaj, who remains in Himalayas in inaccessible place and creates sphere of influence on whole country through his disciples. The whole book contains his dictates and interpretation of history of 5,000 years.
Zionist Arthashastra: These dictates are similar to the dictates of the Protocols of the Elders of the Zion, which is very useful to explain the history of world for last hundreds of years. If the Protocols are important to understand the history of the world, these items of ‘Manifesto of Bhudevatas is very crucial in understanding the history of subcontinent of India.

Samples : The way of thinking of B. Shyam Sunder can be understood by glimpses of his writings. Just a sample or two.
Unwed Bhudeva mothers: Among the audience, there was a young woman in early twenties, who had killed her child being an unwed mother and had become a bairagin (nun). The Maharaj admonishes her for killing her child and advises her that she should have stayed with the untouchable leader, father of the child, and put him to use to serve the Bhudevas, without becoming one of them.
He quotes examples of many unwed daughters of Bhudevas, who gave birth to children who became useful servants of Bhudevas, like Karna, Jabala, Vyasa, Narada, etc. At the same time, he clarifies that the inter- caste marriages do not benefit the lower castes as a whole and quotes examples of Dr. Ambedkar, Sarojini Naidu, Aruna Asaf Ali etc. The bairagin renounces her ektara etc. and feels happy to renounce the japa of ram-naam. Maharaj praises her beauty and advises her to go back to the world and help the youth of Bhudevas who are working against the Untouchables and teach ram-naam to enemies to make them useless, without practicing it herself.
Anti-cow slaughter law: On the question of anti-cow slaughter law, he says, ‘who says there is no such law in India, those who eat the beef, we change their religion. That provision is there in our constitution because it is secular and there is no ban on converting the Muslims to Hinduism.
Secularism as temporary measure: How secularism got incorporated in the Constitution? Were the Bhudevas so scared of the Untouchables that they had to take recourse to secularism, when we had all our scriptures? The answer is, it was an temporary emergency measure.
