Does Vipassana teach Dalits how to identify enemy?
In the Dalit Voice of Feb. 1, 2002, Ajay R. Gajbhaye says “Vipassana can help kill brahminism”.
Does Vipassana possess any magic powers to destroy brahminism? Budha’s first tenet is prajna. The rest are supplementary. Nowhere he speaks of Vipassana.
Samma Vyayama is to remove Avijya, Samma Samadhi is training of mind leading to Prajyana.
Astanga Marga is a single tenent to be read in totality. Not to be split and read separately. Everything is to know truth.
What is the truth to be known by Moolabharathis now? The first thing that we should know is how to identify the Enemy and its strategies. This Enemy has kept us as slaves for centuries. Is there anything the Vipassana teaches us to identify this Enemy?
Marathawada “caste war”: Accepting Budhism is no solution as it has already become Hinduism. Neo-Budhists may be day-dreaming that after conversion they are enjoying a special social status. No. Neo-Budhists are still treated as Untouchables in Maharashtra. If not, why did the Hindus attack them in the “Marathwada caste war”?
History of Indian religions will teach us that Budhists accepted Islam to fight brahminism.
Dr. Ambedkar expected Budhism to untie the different castes and subcastes in the new religion. But this never became a reality in the past 50 years.
The Manuwadi brahminical organisations are acquiring weapons and getting martial training but our brothers write about mental peace through Vipassana. What a mockery.
