Home-made medicine for India’s deadliest cancer
Brother David Haslam, Brig. Usman Khalid, Dr. Choudhary, ladies and gentlemen,
| am standing before this august international gathering in the historic capital of the whole world, that is London, to disclose before you a top ‘secret.
What is this secret? The secret is | have succeeded in discovering a wonder drug for India’s over 3,500-year-old deadly cancer.
This is a home-made, cheapest and easily available ‘indigenous medicine. Time-tested and found extremely effective.
This medicine has proved to be devastatingly effective to kill the deadliest cancer of the Hindu caste system.
This 3,500-year-old caste system has sapped the energies of the over 1,000 million of Indians and made them the laughingstock of the world.
NEWTON’S DISCOVERY
What is this medicine? The medicine is called “caste”. Everybody knows it. Everybody lives in it. Caste (jati) .is India’s oldest socio-cultural institution which has proved to be deathless. Even the whole world knows it.
I have described this medicine as “caste to kill casteism” (or the caste system), which is the other word for Hinduism.
This “International Award” is presented to me today for this _& discovery.
However, one clarification. 1 did not discover the caste — just as Newton did not discover the power of gravity. The apple was falling even before Newton discovered the gravitational pull of the earth.
Similarly, caste has been already there as the much-maligned ethnic identity. I only discovered its power. That is all.
I am naturally moved deeply by the shower of love and respect shown by the people of London for this “discovery” for which i am under fire inside India.
I never expected that a journalist and writer from a far-off southern backwater of India (Bangalore) will be recognised and honoured by the people of London which is the capital of the whole world and where its every pillar. Every stone, every building, every street, every piece of land is steeped in history.
I am grateful to the London Institute of South Asia (LISA) for recognising the importance of the unique thesis presented in this little book of mine, Caste — A Nation Within the Nation.
A Dalit colleague who studied in Oxford University said after reading this book, that if only | had submitted the thesis to Oxford University | would have got the Ph.D. degree.
But | am sorry, rather pained to tell you, that India’s ruling class refused to recognise the book, and a section of the upper caste rulers resorted to malign me saying that | am advocating strengthening of caste while Dr. Ambedkar, our guru, had advocated annihilation of caste.
This is a false propaganda against me while what is repeatedly stressed in this book is that the caste system must die if India must live. And that the caste system can be destroyed only if the different ethnic identities are consolidated and strengthened.
NATIONAL PARTIES DYING
‘The ruling class false propaganda against me did not work because of the five-year-long debate held in Dalit Voice and all its six language editions, the “caste identity” thesis propounded by me has taken deep roots.
As a result. caste, regional and ethnic parties are gaining and defeating “national® parties”. Ever since India became “independent” in 1947, this country of over 1,000 million people is being ruled by a mere 15% upper castes or Aryans.
Every Prime Minister of India has been a Brahmin, Kshatriya or shudra.
The Dalits (20%), BCs (35%), Tribals (10%) or Muslims 15%, Christians 2.5% or Sikhs never had a chance to be the Prime Minister.
Over 85% of Indians remained as slaves and a mere 15% Aryans governed.
However, for the first time in the history of India, we do not have a single Brahmin chief minister barring Tamil. Nadu where Jayalalita, though a Brahmin, is a mere figurehead.
What is the secret of this shift of power? The secret is the rise of caste. Caste is killing the casteists.
The oppressed (85%) have come to know the secret.
Both the BJP-led govt. headed by Vajpayee earlier and the Congress-led govt. headed by Manmohan Singh today were coalitions of castes and regional political parties.
No single party can rule India or even a state. This is the power of caste. The future of India will be decided by caste (ethnic. identity).
A leader in India is made by his or her caste. So, powerful castes have started throwing up powerful caste leaders and | will name some of them. And you will then realise the importance of caste, emerging as a big political force in India.
(1) Sharad Pawar is a Maratha leader, (2) Mulayam and Lalu Prasad as Yadava leaders, (3) Mayawati as Chamar leader, (4) Deve Gowda as Vokkaliga.
These are some of the national leaders, but hundreds of other leaders are emerging representing their jatis.
RULERS WORRIED
Caste has emerged as the deciding factor in elections.
This is a fantastic development of great historical significance because it has brought sleepless nights to India’s upper caste rulers who have no strength of caste.
All the four upper castes Aryan varnas — namely Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra — have no population strength. That means all four will sink and disappear. Bahujans are coming up.
As the time is limited, | cannot go into details but we can tackle them if questions are allowed later.
But the furious propaganda going on in the media and platform against caste-based parties prove that the rulers are deeply worried.
The micro-minority of upper castes are crumbling under the blow of caste. This will take a violent turn.
Already coalitions have come to stay in the different states but also in the Govt. of India.
Thanks to parliamentary democracy as recommended by Dr. Ambedkar in the Constitution of India, every caste is becoming conscious of its strength and mobilising itself.
Even here in England caste associations are strong.
That means within five years all our “national” parties will be dead without any effort.
The future belongs to caste-based and regional parties.
Democracy is taking deeper roots and the casteist older leaders and their parties are dying.
This is the quintessence of my thesis. The ruling upper castes are naturally worried over the emergence of Dalits, Backward Castes, Tribals, Dalit Christians, Dalit Muslims and even the poor among the shudras.
My “caste identity” thesis is not only killing the “national” parties but also the Hindu nazi parties like the RSS, BJP etc.
HOW TO KILL CASTE SYSTEM
Not only that. It will kill the caste system also.
I have found an effective native medicine to cure the centuries-old deadly cancer of the caste system.
Muslims, Christians and Sikhs, the three minority communities, belonging to liberating religions, have welcomed my thesis.
Even the fair-minded people among the upper castes liked my thesis.
The opposition is mainly from the Hindu nazi hate-mongers who are I just a handful in India.
We need your support.
have not brought my book to sell it here. Those interested may book the copy through email. The book has already gone into two reprints and many language editions are planned.
You can take it from me that the Dalits and other persecuted nationalities of India can capture power within 10 years if we go at the present speed in taking to caste-based parties.
From caste-based parties, the next step is caste-based economic development. But that is a separate subject.
if you invite me again | will come and expand on the second part of my thesis.
You can now make out how much | am hated by the ruling class of India. They have punished me as much as they can.
PASSPORT IMPOUNDED
This is the first time | am travelling outside India. My passport was impounded 20 years ago for my writings and speeches.
| have been listed under the “dangerous persons”.
I was arrested four times, once put in jail under the terrorist Act.
Two attempts on my life. There is a total blackout on my writings and speeches. This book on caste was not reviewed by any newspaper.
All these are professional hazards. All those fighting for human rights must face such problems in India.
Thank you for your love and respect and especially Brig. Khalid.
