Very interesting discussions on V.T. Rajshekar (Dalit Voice) is going on in the internet: –
Mohan lyre (Sept.27, 2010) says: V.T. Rajshekar Shetty is an OBC Bunt. He has removed the suffix Shetty to camouflage his true identity.
Shetty is in the habit of spewing venom against Brahmins and Hinduism. If reports are to be believed, he is backed by Christians of Dayal type. Formerly, his articles used to appear in the Indian Express, the Hindu etc. Once, I sent to him three cuttings from the Express – of different dates.
Attack on Brahmins: One cutting said that Vokkaligas made Dalits eat their own excreta. Another cutting said that the Lingayat’s made Dalits eat their own excreta. In the third, a Muslim policeman of Tamil Nadu, not only physically abused a Dalit but made him run naked. I asked Shetty whether he can write against these communities. He kept mum.
Missionaries feel that if Brahmins are eliminated, Hinduism will disappear. Hence, the continuous attack on Brahmins by the Christians and Christian-backed Dalit and OBC organizations. Marxists also feel that if Brahminism is destroyed, marxism can take over Hinduism. Hence their antipathy against Brahmins. The mullahs feel that if Brahminism and Brahmins are destroyed, Hinduism will disappear and Islam can take over.
Kilvenmani Dalit carnage: But none of these fellows will attack OBCs because OBCs may retaliate physically. In TN, the DK and DMK have never attacked a non-Brahmin sect for fear of physical violence though 44 Dalits were burnt alive in Kilvenmani by OBC landlords. Not a soul stirred in TN. Recently OBC Pillay’s built a wall between their and a Dalit colony so that the Dalits cannot come to their area. Not a single soul stirred in TN.
I still remember a DK activist saying that Kashmiri Muslims have done the good thing by massacring and ethnic cleansing the Pandits who are Brahmins. DK is supported by both Muslims and Christians and till date, DK has not uttered a single word against Christians and Muslims.
Dr. Ambedkar was pro-British: The beauty is both the oppressor (OBCs, MBCs) are getting reservation benefits. The reservation can be continued only if they can show an enemy. Brahmins are the enemy created by the British (Christians). Dr. Ambedkar used the word Brahminism and Dr. Ambedkar was pro-British. EVR used the word Brahminism. He was also pro-British and his party (now DK) wanted continuation of British rule.
If Shetty writes against Vokkaligas or Lingayat’s, he will be in trouble. Funny logic of Shetty – a Dalit ate his own excreta because an OBC forced him to do so. Both blame Brahmins and Brahminism. And Shetty, writes virulent anti-Brahmin articles without touching the actual atrocities on Dalits.
Brahmins were slaves: Shetty himself belongs to an oppressor class. There are nearly 7,000 castes and subcastes. How Brahmins could have created such a complex caste system and maintained it. A Brahmin says, you are Shetty, you are Mudaliar, you are Gounder, you are Nari Kuruva, you are Reddy, you are Naidu, you are Baduga etc. And every one accepts the Brahmin command. How ridiculous. Only rules can enforce things. Brahmins were ruled and they were subservient to the kings. And because they were attending to rituals and religious activities, it does not mean they have created the caste system. Krishna is a Yadav (OBC in the present parlance), Rama a Kshatriya (OBC in the present parlance) and Shiva is a Vettiyan (Dalit in the present parlance).
I asked Shetty who cleans his toilet, he never replied. I asked whether he has cleaned anybody’s toilet. Again, no reply. Brahmin bashing helps in the retention of reservation benefits. Why he did not demonstrate when Vokkaligas forced them to eat excreta. Nobody can answer. Shetty is mum. One thing is certain – Christians are using fellow Hindus to destroy Hinduism with their money, political and media power. (Sept.27, 2010).
Christians fund Kancha llaiah
Malaiya, (Sept.28, 2010): Yes, they are not Brahmin. Still, they are high caste. V.T. Rajshekar publishes the unabashedly anti-Brahmin/anti-Hindu (in fact anti- India) Dalit Voice. He is widely presumed to be a Dalit but he is not. I am not sure who funds his publication and activities. There is another presumed Dalit, Kancha llaiah (a cattle-herder caste) who appears to have been well rewarded by missionary groups for his anti-Hindu writings and ramblings, including overseas stays.
3% Brahmins ruling India
Malaiya: For those who may not know V.T. Rajshekar is a high caste Hindu, a Bunt, same community as Aishwarya Rai and Shilpa Shetty. There are some Jain Bunts too. V.T. Rajshekar is not a Dalit. India is a free country. People have a right to be critical of any group or faith. But it appears to me that he is helping plant hate, not just against Brahmin but against India as well. I have wondered about what motivates him and who funds his work. But I note that his hosts in Pakistan include Jamaat-e-Islami. Here is a report from a Pakistani newspaper:
Muslims being kept backward in India
-BY OUR STAFF REPORTER –
Lahore, May 23: Indian writer and editor of the Dalit Voice V. T. Rajshekar said here on Sunday the high- class Hindus were responsible for the India-Pakistan differences. “I am in Pakistan to inform you the 3% Brahmins in India have taken the Dalits and the minorities, including Muslims and Sikhs, hostages, and are responsible for the misery of the entire sub-continent population,” he said while delivering a lecture at Mansoora on the problems being faced by Indian Dalits. Mr. Shekar, who also expressed his views on Islam, was accompanied by Dr. Raju Thomas from Kerala.
Jamaat secretary-general Liaquat Baloch welcomed the Indian writer. Mr. Shekar said though Indian Muslims were 20% of the total Indian population, they were being deliberately kept backward there. He said he was pleased to see that Pakistan was economically better off than India although there was much propaganda about the country being on the verge of collapse. He said he had talked to the minorities in Pakistan, including the Hindus, who were happy for being given due respect in this country.
