Bangalore: When we read a report that the Communist Party of India (CPI) will go with the Hindu nazi agent Ram Vilas Paswan in the coming Bihar election we were shocked. What type of communists we have in this country. How CPI leader D. Raja, a Tamil Dalit who never hesitates to fight for the underdog, can go with Paswan?
We got the answer for this puzzle. In Bihar, CPI is the party of the landed Bhumihar Brahmins. They naturally hate Yadavas and to fight them and kill them and to counter the naxalite led Dalits they have formed the powerful Ranvir Sena that has killed thousands of Dalits and Yadavas.
Caste identity: Why then the CPI has gone with the bourgeois forgetting the “proletariat”? The answer lies in the “caste identity”, Bhumihars are not only rich, powerful and ferocious but constitute 15% of the state population not allowing Dalits to own even 2% land Bhumihars have come up only by strengthening their “caste identity”. Kumar Anand, himself a Bhumihar, says this in an article in the latest issue of the Insight, a journal of the JNU Dalit students.
Bihar is virtually ruled by the Bhumihars. It produced many Chief Ministers and forms the backbone of the Hindu nazi party BJP Bhumihars came up and became rulers only by strengthening their “caste identity and then consolidating themselves.
Insight Editorial: But Lalu Prasad finished the Bhumihar rule. The once proud jati is today crying. How did the Bhumihars come up and become rulers? By strengthening their caste. There is no other way to come up in caste-ridden India. Each Dalit caste must take the same road, Kumar Anand says this in Insight.
Raja’s party (CPI) goes with Bhumihars only because they are its vote bank.
The Insight in its Editorial on the special issue on caste supports DV’s “caste identity” thesis and rejects the “Socialist Brahmin sweet song for annihilation of caste. The editorial says:
Over the last few months, Insight has been in spirited debates with many young scholars. One of the important issues that was raised was that of the way forward for the movement. It has been suggested in one of the articles that the Annihilation of Caste should be the driving slogan of the movement. While not disagreeing with this claim at a macro-level, Insight believes that such a claim is utopian at the micro-level. Looking at successful Dalits movements across the country, be it the jatavas in UP, the mahars in Maharashtra, or the dewars in Orissa, we have found that mobilization among Dalits in most parts of the country is occurring on caste lines. This may be a dangerous trend but as is elaborated in Sudhir Kumar Behera’s article, that after having mobilized on caste lines to protect their livelihood and traditions and sense of self, the dewars are now seeking alliances with other Dalit movements across the country.
The Editorial concludes: We should not be afraid that strengthening Identities will affect long-Term unity both within ourselves and with other oppressed sections of society.
Brahmins hate DV theory: JNU students are influenced by two powerful forces-the Marxists and the Hindu nazis. Both have the same vaidik blood, bones and muscle but differ only in their outward dress to confuse us. We thought the young Dalit students will be influenced by these two crooks.
The Insight editorial proves they have a mind of their own.
No Brahmin has any confusion in this country or outside. You can’t confuse a Brahmin. They are all unanimous in attacking the DV thesis on “caste identity”
Why do they hate our thesis? Because it simply breaks the Brahminical caste pyramid into pieces and empowers each caste to assert its independence as a separate identity. If “caste identity promotes Brahminism, why the Brahmins are hating it?
Should we not love what the Brahmins hate?
