I am doing research on Dalit sacred literature I have the writings of Ravidas, Valmiki, and the Tamil Thirukkural. They are all beautiful literature and show how rich the Dalit culture, and what a grasp on the sacred the Dalits have, to an even greater degree than any other group in India. I am wondering if any other literature is available Here in America, we don’t know enough about the Dalits, and I believe we have much to learn and much to gain by understanding their struggles, and developing a deep respect for the Dalit culture, which I view as the heart of India
I have been a student of religion for 22 years, since I was 111 am now 33. In studying. I finally stumbled across the Dalit Freedom Network, a Dalit Christian organization. I decided to study Dalit issues and Dalit beliefs
ARROGANT HINDUS
My research has also uncovered the Ravidasi movement, Satnami movement, the Balmiki movement A collection of Dalit spiritual works from these movements can create a sense of empowerment.
I remember at the University how arrogant the Hindus were. They acted like they were better than everyone and they were all Brahmins and upper castes. I never knew a more arrogant people who went out of their way to treat me and everyone else like dirt. So here in America, we must publish and inform. We as Americans must also volunteer in Dalit communities setting up farms and water wells
and helping Dalit businesses to grow. The Dalit culture must become self-sufficient and with 250 million people, this is possible. There are just as many Dalits as Americans. Dalits need knowledge. They need education and martial arts classes, so Dalits can defend themselves against varna attackers
In America, we also must know what you feel your needs are. I know many Christian leaders have
gone there with a heart to help the Dalits, but we all must help the Dalits, regardless of religious persuasion. I want Dalits who are not Christian to be helped as well, and to make sure they are being helped as well. I have a close friend who is a Buddhist and he was surprised to find such a large movement in India to return to Buddhism. I will be graduating soon, and then I would like to focus on building Dalit awareness here in America.
I read that 300 incidents of violence against Dalits (including rape and murder) are reported a day. This has to stop. It’s got to stop. It shows how utterly disgusting the caste system is, and I find it extremely offensive that we never hear about it in America.
I think you can learn the best martial arts techniques I was trained by the 10th degree black belt jujitsu master. He was one of the best five knife-fighters in the world. His tricks are easy to teach, and Dalit women can protect their chastity and Dalit men can protect their lives and families:-
- Punch attacker in the throat (can be Deady) 2. Stick fingers in attacker’s eyes
- Kick between attacker’s legs
- Stick fingers far to attacker’s nose
- Flick the attackers nose to make them close their eyes
- Carry a bag of sard (mixed with cayenne pepper if possible) D throw at the attacker’s eyes 7. Punch hard in middle of areas below chest
- Kick the knee on the side
- Bite
If every Dalit knew this, the Brahmins would be afraid. I’d also recommend Tai Chi Chuan. Is a peaceful art form, a sort of dance, but l’ai chi students, when faced with an attacker, are shocked to find they know kung-fu. Many inexpensive manuals on Tai Chi Chuan exist in London. A passive, aggressive technique would be o yank the Brahmins’ sacred threads off when Brahmins get mean, and throw something on the Brahmi’s that they consider unclean or polluting. They need to know they can no longer oppress the superior Dalits. I think the Dalits will be best as leaders of a Bahujan including alliance with Arzals (Dalit Muslims)
Budha, esus, Muhammad, and Nanak were all adamantly against oppression of the poor, making the Brahmirs worthless infidels. Dalits need to also realize they are not alone in he world. There are seven ancient confederacies from which we all descend. These confederacies descended from four clans, based on Y-chromosome studies, called A, B, C, D, f, and F. F is actually divided into cans from G to S.
- South Africans (A and B clans)
2 Australian Aborigene/Fapuan (C clan)
Pacific Islander (C clan)
<Chinese/Apache (C clan, D dan)
African (E clan)
- European/North Asian/Indian (F clan: rare F subtype, G subtype through S subtype: G H. IJ, K, L, MS, NO, PQ, R)
- American Indian (F clan: Q subtype)
DALITS AS OUR ANCESTORS
The Dravidians and Dalits have a higher concentration of the Ly-chromosome type, and even the F type, before the F clan (possessors of F Y-chromosome) divided into clans G through S. This concentration of Fy-chromosome is extremely rare, and had among the Dalits and Dravidians. This makes Dravidians/Dalits the ancestral people of group 6 (European/Indian). The Dalits did not go through all the mutations. The odd thing is this. The Dalits and Hindus descend from the same Y-chromosome clans; C, F, L, and R. However, the Dalits have more C,
- L, which are more ancient, and the Hindus, especially Brahmins, have more R. R is concentrated north of India, which means the Aryan invaders came down into India and accepted some of the Dravidians/Dalits into the Confederacy many generations before marking the caste system, but they got the converters to Aryan faith to war against the Resilient Ones, the mighty Dalits.
You will notice, like the Dalits, the Australian Aboriginals and Pacific Islanders descend from the C y-chromosomal clan. The Australian Aboriginals still suffer oppression in Australia.
My fellow Native American Indians still suffer (I am part Native American, part European), though it is a little more bearable.
With the exception of the 6th tribe, the European/Indians, the other 6 tribes are largely under oppression, and should unite worldwide.
Australian Aborigines and Pacific Islanders, both having Cy-chromosomal clans like the Dalits, respect the land and believe in reincarnation
