The Communist Manifesto of Karl Marx and Frederick Engels (1848) begins saying: – “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class war”. The outstanding communist revolutionary leaders of India using the Manifesto as their pillow may be shocked to hear that the history of their ancestors furnishes the most cogent evidence that Marx was searching for support of his theory. There was a regular” class war” between the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas – so intense that it would delight the heart of our “communist brahmins” and “communist kshatriyas’ to read the history of the “class war” between their forefathers that went on for hundreds of years.
The Aryan society at its very inception recognized four classes – the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras. These divisions were not horizontal divisions, all on a par with each other in the matter of social relationship. These divisions were vertical – one above the other. Being placed above or below like gunny bags of rice in a godown, there was both jealousy and rivalry among the four classes. This jealousy and rivalry had given rise to hatred. This hatred was particularly noticeable between the two “highest” classes – the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas – and there was a regular “class war” between the two. These Intense “class war” is recorded in all Brahminical literature called puranas and ithihasas.
Vasista-Vishwamitra war: The first war was with King Vena, the second with Pururavas, the third with Nahusha, the fourth with Nim and the fifth with Sumukha. Besides these five wars there was a sixth one between Vasista, a Brahmin, and Vishwamitra, a Kshatriya, who was not a king. The issues that brought them into conflict show how bitter and strained must have been the feelings between the Brahmins and Kshatriyas. These were conflicts mainly over the question whether the Kshatriya had a right to become a Brahmin, whether the Brahmins were subject to the authority of Kshatriyas and on the question as to who should salute first and who should give way to whom. Thus, these wars were wars of authority, status and dignity.
Parasurama’s massacre: One need not pay any attention to the filthy story told by Brahmins that the Kshatriyas of Manu’s day were not the original Kshatriyas but a race of new Kshatriyas begotten by the Brahmins upon the widows of the old Kshatriyas who were massacred by Parasurama, the Brahmin. Blackmailing is one of the means which Brahminism is never ashamed of using to advance its own purposes. The fight of Brahmins against Kshatriyas was from the very beginning a fight between a fool and bully. Brahmins were fighting against Kshatriyas for the preservation and maintenance of chaturvarna, the ideal society of the Vaidik’s. Now it is this very chaturvarna which allowed the sword to the Kshatriya and pen to the Brahmin. When the war started between the two, the Kshatriyas used their swords fiercely like a bully against the Brahmins who had nothing but their pens which were no match for swords in a battlefield. Like a fool, the Brahmin realized his folly in assigning the sword to the Kshatriya. It did not take much time for the Brahmins to realize that a war with Kshatriyas would ruin them. These were the direct consequences of these wars between the two. But there were other consequences of these wars noticed by the Brahmins.
SHUDRAS & VAISHYAS OVERTAKE
While these two were fighting among themselves nobody was there to check and keep the Vaishyas and Shudras under control. They were upgrading their status almost nearing that of the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas. To the Brahmins the possibility of suppressing the Kshatriyas was very remote and the danger of being overtaken by the Vaishyas and Shudras was real, very real. Should the Brahmins continue to fight the Kshatriyas and ignore the danger of the Vaishyas and the Shudras? Or should the Brahmins give up the hopeless struggle against the Kshatriyas and make a common cause with them to suppress the “growing menace” of the Vaishyas and Shudras?
BRAHMINS WIN OVER KSHATRIYAS
Brahmins after getting exhausted in the wars with the Kshatriyas chose the latter alternative. They sought to befriend their erstwhile enemies, the Kshatriyas, to work for a new ideal namely to jointly enslave and exploit the two classes below them – namely the Vaishyas and Shudras. It is these wars and the compromise that had taught Brahmins that it was no use trying to force Kshatriya submission. It may be an ideal to be borne in mind. But as practical politics it was an impossible ideal. Like Bismark, Brahmins knew that politics was the game of the possible.
ANTI-SHUDRA FRONT
So, they made a common front with Kshatriyas to fight the Vaishyas and the Shudras. And this was done in the name of their religion. This need not shock anybody who has studied the soul and spirit of Brahminism. Brahminical religion is only a cloak to cover and hide its acquisitive politics. How beautifully this history of “class war” in India has been set forth by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.
AVADI FAKE SOCIALISM
With the dawn of “independence”, Brahminism, decayed and decrepit, regained its lost luster and glory under the double wings of “Abadi socialism” and “proletarian communism”. The former stood for the glorious ideology of “From each according to his work and to each according to his nobility.” And the latter stood for a proletarian era heralding the birth of a new world of proletarian dictatorship. In Aryan India both these new races, the race of “socialists” and the race of “communists” are one and the same product of purushasukta that gave birth to the Ideal society of chaturvarna where the ruling ideology is graded inequality recognized by God and sanctioned by religion. The Indian National Congress of M.K. Gandhi, the first political party of India, is now over a century old and the Communist Party of India, the second largest party, is now over half a century old.
COMMUNIST CHEATS
Both, besides other mushroom parties that sprang up later, have been in power, position and authority for the last 44 years in “independent” India after the British imperialists left India. But we the ordinary mortals of this land numbering millions and millions living in the ghettos of the far-flung villages and towns have been waiting, very patiently waiting, to see the promised world of socialism and “proletarian dictatorship”. None is visible, not even a ray of it in the wide horizon. The rulers have only changed their dress, the Congress covered itself with white khadi and the latter with redshirt. But the content remains the same.
To the Aryans/Hindus (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras) neither socialism nor communism is real. To them the real is their Jati based on the principle of graded inequality. Caste and untouchability are one integral system based on one and the same principle. If the Hindus observed untouchability against one another, it is because they believe in Jati. The two are one and are inseparable. Untouchability is only an extension of the Jati.
SANCTIFIED RACISM
What is the nature of the sanction behind the caste system? Undoubtedly, the sanction behind the caste system is religious. It means it derives its sanction from the Vedas which form the sacred book of the Hindus. Vedas are “infallible“. To the Hindus whether they are socialists or communist Vedas are sacred and eternal. Irrespective of their new dress and the new pseudo slogans, caste is sacred and eternal to the Hindus. Caste is the very brain and breath of Hindus. It is a historical fact. None can deny it. Did India’s outstanding socialist and communist revolutionaries in the annals of their long reign in “Independent India” ever raise their little finger against the very caste that gnaws, inch by inch, day by day, the very marrow of this country? If one is not bold enough to call a spade a spade or a dog a dog, how can he claim to be a revolutionary, real and honest?
KERALA’S MODERN SANKARA
Look at India’s “most outstanding” communist leader, the “Modern Sankara” of Kerala. He stood with folded hands with his communist chief minister and “communist” colleagues before the portrait of Adi Sankara when he was inaugurating last year the 1,200th birth centenary of his ancestor whose Ved antic aphorism was brahman Satyam Jagan mithya.” Comrade Sankaran Namboodiri pad is an “outstanding dialectician” fully capable of understanding the material realities of this universe and its phenomena. But he is a worthy Brahmin dedicated to the cause of his great ancestor who standing on the Ved antic pedestal declared the truth, the everlasting one, that Brahma (God) is the only truth and this material universe is a mithya (illusion). Should we, the non-Marxist and the non-Vedanta’s, take it that when Adi Sankara and his Guru, Kumarila Bhatta, were pulling down the University of Nalanda they were striking down the mithya, the illusions.
Vedantism Is the poisonous weed of India. Because of It over 80% of Hindus themselves (not SC/ST/BCs) are groping in the dark not knowing what they are.
The only hope now left for the people of India, including the Hindus, is the thought of Dr. Ambedkar who firmly stood and boldly fought for the creation of a human society based on the noble principles of equality, fraternity and liberty where man’s inhumanity to man will be abolished forever. India’s misery is caused by stupidity and blind faith taught by Brahminism, the imperialism par excellence.
