Raj Kamble, Canada (kamblerd@hotmail.com): The brutal assassination of a Indian preacher visiting Vienna has shocked the Indo-Canadian communities of Canada. The preacher, Sant Rama Nand ji of Dera Sach Khand Ballan, near Jalandhar, Punjab, India, was invited along with Sant Niranjan Dassji to grace the celebration of Shri Guru Ravidase, a great saint of the 14th century India who fought for equality, liberty and justice the same principles propagated by these preachers. While Sant Rama Nand ji did not survive the shooting, Sant Niranjan Dassji is in critical condition. “The shooting on preachers is an act of terrorism and is an attack on democracy and on people’s right to worship and pay respect to their elders”, said Micheal Ghirra, president of Gura Ravidass Sabha (Vancouver). The sentiments were echoed by Surinder Ranga, president of Chetna Association of Canada. “Violence never gives healthy solution”, said Ranga. Members of Guru Ravidass Sabha hold high regards for these saints and have invited them to the opening ceremony of the Burnaby’s community centre in 2000 as well as to the community parades held last year and earlier this year. “The saints have been a great inspiration to us and to our community”, said Virinder Bangar of Delta. Bangar is convener of a trust affiliated to these preachers. “We are also thankful to these for not only giving us the spiritual guidance and teaching us the value of self-respect, but also for opening schools and hospitals for the poor in India”, continued Bangar. Attackers are upper caste Sikhs. To pay homage to Sant Rama Nand ji and pray for the recovery of Sant Niranjan Dassji, the Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha (Vancouver) has planned for vigil at Shri Guru Ravidass Community Centre, 7271 Gilley Avenue in Burnaby.
Kaj Krinsmoe, Abildgade 15, 1.th. 8200-Aarhus N, Denmark: I’m working on the issue of Zionism (Illuminati) in the Nordic countries. Zionism is an aspect of Illuminati and, as I see it, all the ideologies came out of Illuminati, to confuse people about the central issue “Usury”. Today Sharia banking is evolving in Western countries because it is not a predatory, but a sane environment. About RAW murdering Prabhakkaran, I got this from 3 sites, but now I only remember the inference from this piece:
http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/KE20Dfos.html. Going back through Fire-fox History is a prodigious task. Normally
Bhadra Kumar, who often writes on A times, doesn’t flatter as he does in this article. From this a lot can be inferred. BSO is anxious to cultivate the Lankans. I imagine that RAW had people on the spot who pulled the trigger in the middle of the elections
Mlechha, San Franscisco, USA: I have made a deep study of the Brahmin-controlled India. Partition of India was a mistake. Pakistan split off, because if they were still part of India, the Brahmins would be extinct. The Muslims would not tolerate the Brahmins. However, Pakistan has their own Arvans, the Persian descendants of Muhammad. India was better when it was bigger. I am using a different name to reduce the possibility of the Brahmins bugging our country about my thoughts. Unfortunately, our country is too stupid to realize that the caste system still exists (we honestly think it ended with Gandhi) I am multi-ethine, and I identify myself as mixed. My mom is part African and native American. The fact is that the oldest tribes in the world come from Africa, India, South East Asia and Australin. The religious belief systems here are far more powerful, much better connection with nature. One of my greatest heroes is the Prophet Nat Turner. He was an African American slave who revolted with his fellow slaves against the families of all the slave-owners in the town. Nat Turner’s slaves showed no mercy. A very inexpensive book, very easy to get a hold of is The Confessions of Nat Turner. It is inspirational because he was brave enough to spare no one. Even in the Bible, the Israelites didn’t even spare the children when they took a city. The Prophet Nat Turner was brave, because he knew he could be facing death and he was executed, but he died with a noble pride and no shame. Dr. Ambedkar said three books are evil: the Rig Veda, the Bhagavad Gita, and Manu Smriti. The Rig Veda overly superstitious, the Gita boring, and the Manu Smriti made me vomit Every copy of this book should be burned. I do believe your country will change and when it does, the Brahmins need to be contained. Their racist Brahmin beads should be confiscated, their racist polluted temples turned into public restrooms, and their work restricted to sewage, plumbing, trash collection and mortician work. They are a genetically diseased bunch. Did you know a study of Dalit children compared with Brahmin children showed them to be far more intelligent as youth in school? Dalits are natural geniuses, because they need to be to survive, but Brahmins are actually mentally stupid. But the Brahmin’s get the higher education because the Brahmins are bullies. The Brahmins intermarry with only each other too much, and after several generations, this creates a genetic bottleneck. The Brahmins lack genetic variety, but also are essentially inbred, which means many of them have too many genes in their bodies which are exactly the same. This literally infects their minds with self-contradictory thinking and makes their bodies dangerous for the gene pool. A Brahmin does a very bad thing when he marries another Brahmin. He could just as well marry his own sister. India will change, and I think freedom literature will help. I have studied economic systems, and the best ones create few rules on capitalism. You can see America suffer financially, because we let government get too big. Half of the jobs are government jobs, so us Americans don’t make anything, which makes the dollar worth less. The writings of Marx, Lenin and Mao are inspirational, but some things should be noted about their vision. Lenin’s country was too big, and the ruthless Stalin took over. Mao’s country eventually adopted some capitalism, because pure communism doesn’t work. I believe in a capitalism- socialism hybrid myself.
The government should never allow bad working conditions or poor pay (our country is good about this). However, America should not allow CEOs to make 300 times more than the lowest paid employee, and the average CEO does make this much more. The poor countries which become richest quickest don’t use bank loans, but have a small flat tax. For instance, you tax everyone only 10%, unless they are a CEO making 20 times more than their employee. With a small flat tax, you fix the economy and shrink big Brahmin government, You allow Dalits to start their own businesses without waiting years for a business petition to sit on the shelf. In Hong Kong, you get a business license in less than a day. In Czeckoslovakia, they are also doing very well. Marx, Lenin, Mao, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Locke, Adam Smith, Milton Friedman and Henry Stuart Mill are the best authors on freedom and how either political action or lower-class capitalism can empower the poor. I would perhaps recommend the creation of an Indigenous Churches Coalition worldwide, standing for the religions of Dalits, Adivasis, Mazhabi Sikhs, Arzal Muslims, Australian Aboriginals, Native Americans of North and South America, Africans, Arctic Tribes, Southeast Asians, and Pacific Islanders. I think African American churches are part of the same thing, so long as they respect their roots. I admire the Black Muslims in this country who have great pride in their heritage. The World Council of Churches is an almost worthless body, because most churches aren’t involved in political change. I’ve read your website and agree with identifying with the greater Black movement.
- Valicharla, address withheld: I am a software consultant in USA hailing from Andhra Pradesh. My father is a DV family member. I had met you 7 or 8 years ago In spite of being aware of your struggle and the need for me to participate, I have been indifferent for too long. You and your struggle needs. international voice. I want to organise fellow Dalits in US and seek their support for our cause, I also want to change the way Americans think about India. I want to make them aware of the real India by knowing the Dalit. When Americans now think of India, they think of Taj Mahal, Kama Sutra, Yoga, Gandhi, I want to rewire them to visualize the inhuman caste system, the injustice meted out to “lower castes” and Rever Budha and know Dr. Ambedkar. I want them to be able to realize and recognize the caste system that Indians might be practising in their very community.
Very happy to note that even elite Dalits living abroad are worried about the plight of their brothers back in India, inside India, the elite Dalits have forgotten their brothers. But Brahmins outside India dally think of their blood brothers and do everything to promote their jati interests. English-educated Dalits inside India have already joined the enemy rank. The defeat of all the 3 RPi candidates in Maharashtra proves it. In spite of 29 years of publication and known to all literate Dalits, our English-knowing Dalits have not taken interest in DV – EDITOR.
Kuniomi Miyahashi, Researcher of Human Rights Center at Kansai University, Nara Prefecture, Katsuragi, Japan 639 2124: I am a Japanese Dalit in Japan, visited India as a member of University’s Human Rights Association several years ago. I have learnt a great plan for the Dr. Ambedkar Memorial Park under construction at Lucknow (UP), I want you and Dalits to know the “Declaration of Suiheisha”, the Human Rights Declaration of Japan. If permitted, I want our declaration to be introduced at the corner of Dr. Ambedkar Park. I am a Burakumin. And I was born at the same place as Suiheisha (Nara). The first liberation movement was started from my birthplace. My grandfather belonged to the Suiheisha. You might have visited my birthplace in 1975 when you came to Japan. I toured India in 2004 to study the caste system with about 20 persons. It was my first visit to India. I remember meeting Dalit people making sandals in their houses. When I was visiting India, I had not heard of Dalit Voice.
Brig. Usman Khalid, Director, LISA, London: The Taliban who are fighting the Pakistani troops and murdering civilians in the name of sharia are supplied and funded by the CIA, RAW and Mossad. Clearly the American are not afraid because these ‘American Taliban’ are implementing their strategic plan. But the Pakistanis have a reason to be afraid because the death and destruction they suffer is all too real. It is time the Pakistani clerics stopped calling for an ‘end of military operations in Malakand and join in condemning the ‘American Taliban’ led by Baitullah Mehsud and Maulvi Fazalullah
Olaf Childress, Editor, The First Freedom, PO Box-385, Silverhill, Alabama-36576, USA: Hitler did not undertake to exterminate the Jews. They were interned in labor camps like many other enemies of the Third Reich, manufacturing supplies for the German Wehrmacht. When the Allies bombed his country into rubble, naturally outbreaks of Typhus, etc., killed many inmates, not just Jews. The real Holocaust happened under Jewish-controlled Bolshevist Russia, where 65 million died. The Jewish-controlled world media never look into Stalin’s deliberate starvation of Ukraine to the point of cannibalism there after his trains had confiscated and hauled the entire grain crop to Russia. The Jewish
version of the German Holocaust is a very profitable myth for zionists. Happy to note the growing readership of your books and fortnightly Dalit Voice. May you survive until the oppressed peoples of India realize their own best interests, and stop falling for Apartheid Israel’s phony love for miscegenation blending all other races into one subservient mass. Former FBI Director, J. Edgar Hoover’s book, Masters of Deceit, pretty well summarizes what the world is up against. Recent arguments purporting to show that Hitler was a Jew working in the interest of Jews is merely the latest chapter of their eternal deceptions. It’s obvious that the man unknowingly did serve their plans for world conquest, even possible that somewhere in his background a taint of the devil’s blood lurked. No one can change his physical heritage, but must only answer for a willingness to honestly state what he is and where he’s headed. As I’ve often pointed out in The First Freedom, none of us truly understands why life is as it only can be; i.e., a constant battle between the forces of truth and its opposite. Dreaming about either a present world or a hereafter in which there’s no strife is just that: a dream. Certainly each of us will return to the creator from whence we came; but, in this “upper dream” of existence seen about us, that consequence remains at present unknowable. Here and now, without challenge, there’s no victory; absent the Jewish question, what could Dalit Voice answer? None of us really wants to live in a boring nirwana that’s devoid of the chase, so gird up! Let’s hang in there to the end – fighting enemies, loving our own, exposing fraud, smiling at the Jew’s impossible attempt at satisfaction by every avenue except truth and honor. How can we tell such a habitually-lying miscreant who forever claims we’re out to destroy his kind that what we feel for him is not hate, but pity?
P.S. Sadar, (a Kunbi aged 76), No. 71-Kotwalnagar, Nagpur-440 022: This is to express my joy of reading your book, Know the Hindu Mind (DSA-2008, Rs. 100). It is a wonderful book by all counts. But the speakers at the book release function at Nagpur on March 14, 2009 did not do justice to the profundity and the analytical skill displayed by the book. One speaker was afraid of speaking aggressively against the Brahmin rulers and the other one was afraid of his Dalit friends who are too busy with collecting the rewards of reservations and yet another one has perhaps not read the book at all as per his usual style and habit. However, I was pained to read on pages 50 and 51 (Ibid) your observations on Shivaji, the Great. I think a campaign, systematic, is going on to denigrate Shivaji and his mother Jijabai. Apart from the above observation of yours, you said in your speech at the silver jubilee function of Dalit Voice readers at Nagpur on March 15, 2009 that Shivaji stomached the insult inflicted by Gaga Bhatta at the time of his coronation as a king on June 6, 1674, as per author Vaidya. Similar story was told some years back by Nagesh Choudhari, our esteemed friend at Nagpur. However, he denied the statement when I confronted him a few months back. Yet another such statement was made in my presence by one solo actor at the Shivaji jayanti celebration at Wadi, Nagpur, where I was the main speaker on the Feb.22, 2009. The story of “insult” done to Shivaji by Gaga Bhatta is not supported by any respectable writer. Vaidya is no historian. This incident, if at all it happened, has to be corroborated by the foreign dignitaries that were present at the coronation. The envoy of the East India Company, Henry Oxinden, had attended this ceremony. But he has not recorded anything unbecoming of a king taking place at the coronation even in his diary. Other foreign visitors and writers speak very respectfully and in an eulogizing manner about Shivaji. They are:
(1) Jean de Thevenot, (2) Cosma da Guarda, (S.N. Sen, foreign biographies of Shivaji), (3) Rev. John L’Escalots’s (Shivaji), (4) James Grant Duff, A History of the Marathas, (5) Oxiden, English Records on Shivaji, (6) Abbe Carre;s Appreciation of Shivaji, (7) Bernier, Travels of the Moghul Empire, (8) Aungier, English Records on Shivaji, compares Shivaji with Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great and Hannibal, (9) Edward Scott Waring: History of Marathas, (10) Francois Martin, (12) S.J. Owen and Grant Duff, (13) Sir E. Sullivan, (14) Jonathan Scott and (15) the Portuguese historian A.B. de Braganca Pareira.
Shivaji required his coronation for the reason that it would have given him powers to punish the guilty Brahmins. Up till then, they were only driven out of the area but never punished with life. Shivaji was the first Indian king who killed the envoy of Afzal Khan, Krishna ji Bhaskar Kulkarni, when the latter attacked Shivaji after Afzal Khan was killed by Shivaji. Shivaji did not support the Hindu religion. Rather, he had his second coronation within a month of the Vedik coronation. This second coronation was done according to the Shakta Dharma under the presiding priests of the Gosavi and other caste. For this ceremony he had gone through a mock marriage with a Mahar woman or a Matang woman which was part of the ritual. Another reason and stronger than the
above one for Shivaji to get himself coronated was that his mother’s dynasty was Yadawas of Deogiri now called Daulatabad. The kingdom of Yadavas was sunk by the prime minister priest of Deogiri, named Hemadri Pandit, as he invited Allauddin Khilji to attack Deogiri. As to the notion of Shivaji being a shudra (that is the fourth varna or class of the four-tier vedic system), it needs examination. When the Aryans established a small foothold in India, called Bramhavarta, the Aryans were very small in number. They called the entire population of the Sindu stan by the name Kshatriya, i.e. belonging to the homeland or the soil of India. Kshatriya means belonging to the Khet (ef Khatri) or a Shet in Marathi. The distinction between the warriors of the Sindu stan and others like the cultivators and the artisans was discovered later by the divisive Aryans. This longish statement on Shivaji was thought necessary as the opinion that you hold as also other small-time Dalit workers hold will estrange the Maratha/Kunbi from you. Besides, such an opinion is absolutely unhistoric, false, ill-conceived and spiteful. I suspect that it has been sponsored by the Brahmin and handed over to the reservation Wala Dalits for merry-making. The present condition of all the castes of the Indian society including the Marathas, the Dalits and the ethnic groups of North East has been carved out by the Brahmin during a Lorig span of over 3,500 years. If we want to get free from the slavery, the slaves should unite as far as possible and move with determination. The population of the Mahars of Maharashtra and the Minas of Rajasthan with the Dalits of AP and Tamil Nadu will certainly measure up to 2 to 3 crores. Of this 5% have benefitted from the reservation in jobs and other fields, as you say. This figure will be around 15 lakhs. If these meritorious, wealthy and enlightened people make an army of workers any type of revolution violent or non-violent can be brought about. Total SC/ST [population of India is (110 x 22.5) 24 crore roughly. Even if 10% i.e. 2.5 crore of it rises, a total revolution can be brought about, thereby making the Dalit a leader of the Indian society. Now this is not happening in spite of the Dalit Voice Editor’s best efforts. The rich and bureaucrat Dalit as well as the rich Maratha is not co-opeating. Now, for this Shivaji or Babasaheb or Goutam Budha cannot be blamed. At least a few more persons like Editor V.T. Rajshekar, late Kanshi Ram, Mayawati, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Purushottam Khedekar will have to be born to make our dream a reality. Finally, I would request the personalities working in the field of Dalit awakening not to hurt the feelings of the Marathas or the OBC section just for earning a few points. The Marathas are the only people among the population of India who have a sense of nationhood Le. Indian hood and can be called upon to defend the country from the external aggression any time, any hour of the day. The Sikhs may fail, the Jats may fail, the Gujjars may fail, the Rajputs may fail, the Dravidians may fail but the hungry, illiterate, the superstitious Maratha can always rise to the call. British Governor Warren Hastings also said so in 1761. Wish you speedy success in the Dalit awakening.
Dr. K. Jamanadas, “Shalimar”, Main Road, Chandrapur-442 402: This refers to the Letter by P. S. Sadar (DV April 16, 2009, p.18). Sadar, who refers himself as a Kunbi, is an eminent scholar, a historian of repute on Harappa culture, a noted linguist and a prominent OBC thinker. His views are respected by all the Ambedkarites. First I wish to clarify that it. was a book review I wrote, and so mostly the views of original author (Devara) are depicted. But I agree with all the points raised by Sadar. I only wish to clarify one point. He says: “Why should Devara or Jamanadas grudge if some poor Maratha obtains a Kunbi caste certificate?” I have no grudge against anybody getting reservations. I belong to Kanshiram-Mayawati school of thought, who believes that jiski jitni sankhya bhari uski utni bhagidari. I have no objection even if all, including Brahmins, get their share in power. That is what reservations are though some people say reservations are not fundamental rights. My only worry is that, the Marathas and other equivalent people wish to get this reservation from OBC quota, which is already meager 27 for 52%. If they ask for canceling the upper limit of 50% imposed by judiciary and ask for separate quota for Marathas etc., there should be no objection of OBC leaders also. But I have not seen Maratha leaders challenging 50% limit. Actually they are the rulers of this country and can change any laws. But to me, it appears they have no political will of offending the Brahmins. Let us not forget the future of this country rests in their hands, as exclaimed by Dr. Ambedkar. A neglected message from Dr. Ambedkar to OBCs: Gawande, a close friend of Dr. Ambedkar, who was then the Law Minister in Nehru Cabinet in 1947, asked for a message for the Maratha people to be published in the souvenir of Maratha Mandir of Bombay. Dr. Ambedkar declined saying that he had no relation with the organization or the Marathas, but on persistent insistence, a message was given and
published in the souvenir on March 23, 1947. It was made available by Vijay Survade recently and was undocumented till now. Dr. Ambedkar said: (translated by me from Marathi):
This principle will apply not only to Marathas but all Backward Castes. If they do not wish to be under the thumb of others they should concentrate on two things, one is politics and the other is education.
One thing I like to impress on you is that the community can live in peace only when it has enough moral but indirect pressure over the rulers. Even if a community is numerically weak, it can keep its pressure over the rulers and create its dominance as is seen by the example of status of present-day Brahmins in India. It is essential that such a pressure is maintained, as without it, the aims and policies of the state cannot have proper direction, on which depends the development and progress of the state. At the same time, it must not be forgotten that education is also important. Not only elementary education but higher education is most essential to keep ahead in competition of communities in their
progress.
Higher education, in my opinion, means that education which can enable you to occupy the strategically important places in state administration. Brahmins had to face a lot of opposition and obstacles, but they are overcoming these and progressing ahead.
I cannot forget, rather I am sad, that many people do not realize that the caste system is existing in India for centuries because of inequality and a wide gulf of difference in education, and they have forgotten that it is likely to continue for some centuries to come. This gulf between the education of Brahmins and non-Brahmins will not end just by primary and secondary education. The difference in status between these can only be reduced by higher education. Some non-Brahmins must get highly educated and occupy the strategically important places, which has remained the monopoly of Brahmins since long. I think this is the duty of the State. If the Govt. can not do it, institutions like Maratha Mandir must undertake this task.
I must emphasize one point here that middle class tries to compare itself with the highly educated and well placed and well to do community, whereas lower class all over the world has same fault. The middle class is not as liberal as the upper one, and has no ideology as lower one, which makes it enemy of both the classes. The middle class Marathas of Maharashtra also have this fault. They have only two ways out, either to join hands with upper classes and prevent the lower classes from progress, and the other is to join hands with lower classes and both together destroy the upper class power coming against the progress of both. There was a time, they used to be with lower classes, now they seem to be with the upper class. It is for them to decide which way to go. The future of not only Indian masses but also their own future depends upon what decision the Maratha leaders take. As a matter of fact it all should be left to the skill and wisdom of the leaders of Marathas. But there seems to be a lack of such wise leadership among the Marathas.
What Dr. Ambedkar said about Marathas equally applies to all OBCs, and still holds true after half a century. Dr. Ambedkar wrote much to educate the OBCs. It is only now that OBCs are awakening gradually. It must not be forgotten that the future of this country depends on them. Secondly, it is not on economic points the OBC list is made; it is socially and educationally made. So let us not talk of “poor Maratha”, as Sadar did. Three poverty lines as described by Devara are self explanatory.
S.C. Musafir, Palampur, Kangra dt. 176 066: In 2006, Dr. Bharat Jhunjhunwala, a noted economist and also a friend of Dalit Voice Editor, sent me a detailed agenda on Mahara Mayan with contents of seven stories extracted from the Yog Vashishth to know the viewpoint of Dalit-Bahujans. I read his note and prepared a reply with my objections. He told me that his religious guru, Subodh Anand, wanted him to write a book named Mahara Mayana on the contents of Yog Vashishth, a religious text of Hindus (Brahmins). The guru extracted seven stories from the Yog Vashishth and passed it on to Dr. Jhunjhunwala to prepare the Mahara Mayan. Dr. Jhunjhunwala had sent the complete matter with his comments on the subject to many Hindu intellectuals and one copy to me for my comments. He raised two questions: (1) Why god Brahma felt the need to take incarnation as a human being and (2) How one can get spiritual pleasure through yoga? In the introduction to his subject Dr. Jhunjhunwala calls Budha an incarnation of god like Rama, Krishna, Brahma, Vishnu etc. When I asked him about the author of the Yog Vashishth, he said he did not know its original author. The seven stories he had sent me are not based on historical facts but were Hindu mythology which will lead the masses into the blind belief of Brahminism. The subject matter of all seven stories is a dialogue between Rama (hero of the Ramayan) and Vashisht (another character in the Ramayan). Vashisht told these stories to Rama and later called it Yog vashishth. Brahmins are the real authors or creators of this cock and bull stories full
of lies. I sent my reply to Dr. Jhunjhunwala after carefully studying his text and consulting about 50 reference books. I later published all the interaction between me and Dr. Jhunjhunwala as a book. He has also published his work titled Yog Vashishth Ke Saat Kahaniayan. The main culprit is the Brahmin Subodh Anand who misguided a non-Brahmin Marwari Bania to write Mahara Mayana to misguide the gullible masses of India. My book titled Mahara Mayan Vindhvans has 18 chapters. It is the Brahmins who are misguiding the people in the name of “holy book Ramayan”, later on called Ramcharitmanas and Yog Vashishth. The fact is Valmiki had written two books, Ramayan and Yog Vashishth, extracted from the Budhist Jatak tales and the Vajarayan leading to the yoga of today. Brahmins want to shut out the name of Valmiki from the Yog Vashishth as they have fully converted it into Hindu scripture. The Vedas’ original content was stolen by Brahmins from Budhist scripts. My book is dedicated to the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the titanic personality of the world. The Hindi book was released by Editor V.T. Rajshekar on the Ambedkar Jayanti day at the JNU campus in Delhi, just on the eve of his visit to Pakistan.
Com. Ayyankali: LTTE is in the Brahminical Hindutva casteist trap. RSS, VHP, Bal Thackeray, “Sri Sri” Ravishankar, Jayalalitha and BJP are supporting LTTE and vice versa. The Brahmin masterplan is to get Bajrang Dal and Abhinav Bharat trained under LTTE and deploy them against Dalits, Christians and Muslims in India. The only way to neutralise this is to win over Dalit and Christian LTTE cadres and get them train Indian Dalits particularly, the already existing Dalit Bahujan-led armed Maoist groups like the Maoist Tritiya Prastuti Committee which is engaged in armed, bloody and violent war with Manuwadi Brahmin Vara Vara Rao’s fake Maoist Party so called “CPI (Maoist)”. Of course, the best medicine is to export your “caste identity” theory and caste war theory to Jaffna’s Dalit LTTE cadres and Christian LTTE cadres. The good news is that these Dalit LTTE cadres and Christian LTTE cadres are the backbone of the LTTE. Once they imbibe your “caste identity” theory along with your thoughts on Muslims and Christians, these Christian and Dalit LTTE cadres will automatically get cured of all Brahminical diseases.
Dalip Singh Wasan, Advocate, 101-C, Vikas Colony, Patiala: Dalits must understand that the upper castes will not allow them to merge with the Hindu. They would never like the Dalits higher position. That is why they do not tolerate the reservations. The Dalits must, therefore, stop thinking of merging with the Hindus. They must remain separate. The number of Dalits taken with Sikhs, Muslims and Christians shall form over 80% of total population in India. Unity of Dalits and religious minorities is the only way-out.
T.K. Kidwai, 529-K/39-Khurram Nagar, Lucknow – 226 022: Whether BBC or any other media depict “India as the biggest democracy”, the facts do not confirm such a depiction. If democracy is a govt. by the fools for the crooks, no doubt we are the biggest democracy. India has the highest number of fools and crooks. Voting does not imply our say in the running of affairs of country. We are told to believe, and we fools believe that “you are the master of your destiny, you have powers to bring any government in or out”.
In democracy, the kind of democracy we have in South Asia, slaves have wide choice of masters, can choose one who in the learned opinion of semi-literate and illiterate slaves would be a better master: fair and just in treatment, kind and compassionate, would honour pledges and commitments. Slaves get disillusioned, feel cheated and vow not to choose same master again. When the bugle for carnival, election, is blown, the slaves go mad and merry. Heated exchange takes place as to who is a better master, more caring for the slaves. There is argument and counter argument, heated arguments turn into physical scuffles, slaves loyal to one master fly at throat of those who prefer a different master. The farce keeps on going till the masters are elected to cheat slaves once again. It never occurs to the slaves as to how to free themselves from shackles of slavery and be their own masters. Why emphasis is always on the form of government, not on good governance? The later matters more than the former. Democracy doesn’t guarantee good governance, our experience of 60 plus years of democracy has been bitter. Doesn’t democracy provides a chance to those to get elected who, as a matter of fact, should have been behind bars or in lunatic asylum. (DV May 1, 2009 p.8: “Elections alone can’t make India proud to call itself
democracy”).
Amit Singbal, Panaji, Goa: I read in Dalit Voice, a Letter saying Brahmins are an occupational group and not a caste which should be decided on occupational basis and not on basis of birth. Brahmins are not an occupational group; they are a race and as long as we don’t accept the fact that Brahmins are a race, nothing can ever happen. Race
means people with common blood and it is this common bond of blood that makes the Brahmins so united. There is a very big difference between the philosophy of Karl Marx and Adolf Hitler. The philosophy of the Jew, Karl Marx, gives utmost importance to class and says that the history of this world is a history of class struggle. The philosophy of Adolf Hitler on the other hand gives most importance to race and says that the history of the world has been a history of struggle between different races. This philosophy says be nationalistic. Dalits are not a united race but the Brahmins are totally united. The philosophy of Marx and Hitler are, therefore, totally different. But I believe more in Hitler’s racial philosophy. Unfortunately few people are willing to accept that Brahmins are a race. If they were an occupational group they would have been destroyed long ago but they are a race. I thank Editor V.T Rajshekar for all the literature I received. I just want you to never give up the struggle you have started. You think that the Brahmins are strong because of their media, I on the other hand feel that media is a vehicle that spreads the thoughts of a particular political organisation and since no political party exists against the Brahmins, the media itself is of no use. The media would have been extremely useful if there was a political organisation against Brahmins and this organisation must be used to spread the thought that Brahmins are a race. I met you recently in Bangalore and I realised how determined you were. I want to meet you again. Please read Mein Kampf or My Struggle, Hitlers biography, this book gave me a whole new vision in life.
K.V. Narasimham (Kovena), 7-141, Mittapalem Street, Gudur-524 101: I have a 6-point programme to organise Bahujans to capture state-level political power:
(1) Drinking water from the government wells/tanks, (2) One hectare (2.5 acres) of land to all illiterate families and jobs to all the literate and filling-up of backlog posts, (3) Protection from upper caste terrorism, (4) Free education and medical facilities, (5) Implementation of Article 17 (untouchability abolition), (6) Annihilation of caste system.
The existing upper caste fraudulent social system remaining what it is, even if you become the PM and your friend the CM, it will not be possible to provide basic necessities to Bahujans. Even if Dr. Ambedkar or Kanshi Ram become PM they can’t. Please advise DV members to read my booklet, How to organize Bahujans?. Please write for copy (pp.30, Rs.20).
