We have been repeatedly pleading against the Aryan conspiracy to artificially divide the country’s indigenous peoples on religious basis into Muslims, Sikhs, Christians etc. Even the division of non-Hindus into Scheduled Castes (20%), Scheduled Tribes (10%) and Backward Castes (35%) though all of them are Untouchables and original inhabitants – is just to fit into the Constitution of India. That over 85% of India’s 850-million population is not Hindu is now being increasingly accepted by all the conscious sections of non-Hindus. Even such of those Hindus with brain “inside their heads” know this sociological truth and historical facts pronounced by no less a person than Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.
Some innocents among Muslims, Christians or even SC/ST/BCs may say that the country’s Constitution does not say so. The Constitution and census do put them under “Hindus”. This is a fact. Sikhs are also put under “Hindus”. But do the conscious Sikhs accept that they are Hindus?
SC/ST/BCs are only “called” Hindus to bloat the Hindu population to 85% and convert their alien Aryan religion into a “majority religion”. The label of “Hindu” is unconsciously or forcibly pasted on the foreheads of the SC/ST/BCs.
What then is the truth? The Muslims of India did not come from Arabia, Turkey or Iran. Christians of India did not come from Rome or London. Over 90% of the converts to the country’s three egalitarian religions of Islam, Christianity and Sikhism are all the country’s indigenous peoples (Untouchables) officially called today – SC/ST/BCs.
Over 95% of the Bangladesh Muslims are Untouchable converts. So too in Bihar. So too in Kerala. This is so all over India. Pakistan’s 3.5 million Christians are Untouchable converts.
We are all blood relations: The church leadership has accepted that over 95% of the Christians in India are either SC/ST or BC.
That means Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Castes (SC/ST/BCs or SSBs) and Muslims/Christians/Sikhs (MCS) are all blood brothers and sisters. When they are all blood relations, is it proper to divide them on religious lines and create artificial barriers? For purposes of constitutional requirements they may be called SC/ST/BCs but the blood running in the veins of all is the Dravidian blood-pre-Aryan. Will not such an artificial division create separateness among the original inhabitants of the country? Can we accept the artificial divisions made by our Aryan rulers for their convenience and continue to remain divided and play into the Aryan divide and rule game?
Follow African model: Recently we received the proceedings of the June 12-15, 1991 Conference of Africans (Blacks) held in Libya and convened by the Libyan leader Gadaffi’s International Mathaba, which we had once (1986) the privilege of attending as the leader of a delegation of Indian Untouchables. The proceedings were sent to us by our Black brother, John Trible, and the conference was presided by his party chief, Kwame Ture, a noted African leader.
The conference discussed the problem of zionism which the Blacks fear is aimed at destroying the Blacks. The 100-odd delegates that attended this conference were all Blacks though their names looked like those of Christians, Muslims and Africans. Though their names were different and religions were different, the common thread that bound them was the African (Black) identity.
Religion is the dress you wear: Blacks in US also are divided on religious basis but all of them stress the basic African (Black) identity. They don’t stress their religious affinity. Religion, they say, is just the dress you wear. The flesh and blood inside the dress in Black. We feel the same thing is true of the Black Untouchables of India.
That doesn’t mean we are belittling the importance of religion. Religion is must for the spiritual purposes It is because of the religion of Islam, the Muslims o India are militant and quickly understand the dangers of brahminism.
All brothers and sisters live under one roof where they are young. But when they grow up they fan out all over India or even outside. According to the climate, they may wear different dress of their choice Those in cold climate may go in for woollen. Those in hot climate may be more bare-bodied. But or important occasions, all the sisters and brothers come back to their parental house. They may belong to diverse professions, dwell at different places, belong to different income groups but the common bond o blood relationship binds them.
Ethnic identity: Their root is the same. The mothed is the same. That is why ethnic identity take: precedence over religion, language, ideology an everything else.
Religion is like the different names of these brother: and sisters, the different places they dwell, the different dresses they wear. Just because they live at different places, wear different dresses, bear different names, eat different food, they don’t cease to be blood brothers and sisters.
East and West Germany one communist and other capitalist – broke the Berlin Wall and embraced each other after 45 years, because they realised that they were artificially kept divided by communism. Lankan Tamils are joining with Indian Tamils because they belong to the same stock. Ethnic identity. Soviet Russia broke up on ethnic issue. Hence the importance of blood relationship.
American example: This is specially so among the Tribals of India. Many of them have become Christians. But the non-converted tribals don’t treat the converted tribals as outsiders. The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Janardhana Reddy, is a Christian. But does anybody consider him a Christian? Does the CM say he is a Christian? He is first a Reddy and then a Christian. His loyalty is for his Reddy origin. Christianity is the dress he wears which he can remove at his will.
In US, many Christian Blacks have become Muslims. But all Blacks swear by one identity – the African identity. Whether one is a Muslim, or Christian, they all proudly say that they are Afro-Americans. In fact, lately they have all changed their names, dress and hairstyle to conform to the African style. Whether one is a Black Muslim or a Black Christian, they have started adopting Afro-lifestyle.
Blacks – whether one is a Christian, Muslim or non- believer – are Blacks first and last. The blood that runs in the veins of all Blacks is the African blood. This feeling is swelling fast among the Blacks living not only in America but all over Europe. We could make out this very significant development in the Black consciousness during the current Black Revival Movement that is going on in USA.
Buta Singh’s case: India also presents the same picture. The former Union Home Minister, Buta Singh, is an Untouchable (SC) and treated so even though he is a Sikh. Former President of India, Zail Singh, is a carpenter (BC) though a Sikh. Bishop Azariah of Madras, India’s famed Black Theologian, is an Untouchable though a Christian. Dr. Azariah once said he is first a Dalit and then a Christian. What a great statement.
People who are proud of their roots, their parents, their ancestors don’t disown them. The 30-odd Untouchables killed in village Chundur were all Christians. But they were killed not because they were Christians but because they were Untouchables.
Why Nazis want Muslim blood? Today, the brahminical social order is out for the blood of Muslims because conversion to Islam has made them more conscious of their identity. And this identity has made them fight back the nazi forces. It is the Muslims of India today who are shielding their Dalit brothers who are the deadliest enemies of Hindus. Hindus will not be able to enslave the Dalits if they are shielded by the Muslims. So the Hindu nazis want to finish Muslim masses first and then go after Dalits.
A strong bond of oneness is binding all SC/ST/BCs and also MCS. But the Aryan rulers calling themselves Hindus started dividing the over 85% indigenous peoples into SC/ST/BCs on one side and then into Muslim/Christians/Sikhs so that they can divide and rule. They divided us to rule us (in the name of Hindu unity) but why should we accept their division of our undivided family members? That was our mistake.
Tips to SIM: Muslims being the most conscious of Indian citizens and the Students Islamic Movement being the most revolutionary among Muslim organisations, we are coming up with this proposal so that the SIM would first accept this fact and then propagate this fact among other Muslim masses so that this deeply divided India will get consolidated and India’s unity and integrity threatened by the handful of Hindu nazis is consolidated.
Mandal united the non-Hindus: The Mandal Commission report sought to cement this unity of the children of the soil. And all the six sections artificially divided into SSBs and MCS – together forming over 85% of India’s 850 million population – stood together and jointly fought the Aryan anti-Mandal war and violence. Such a unity of the 85% non-Hindus is coming up in a big way. And their unity (thereby strengthening the Indian unity) is bringing sleepless nights to the Aryans (15%) guided by the Hindu nazis or Sanatana wadis. The BJPs current ‘Ekta Yatra’ is intended to break this growing unity of Indians.
It is to frustrate and destroy the growing unity of the 85% of the original Indians, the nazi forces are indulging in “Hindu unity”, Ekta Yatra stunts. (DV edit. Jan16, 1991; “Hindu unity will destroy Indian unity”).
Are Muslims our enemies ? : The Aryans, our oppressors, want the SC/ST/BCs to protect their Aryan god, Rama, by facing police bullets. But when the SC/ST/BCs, who are fondly called Hindus, ask for their human rights (reservations) the same Aryans launched their war and violence on these innocent producers of wealth. The alien Aryans say Muslims are our enemies. They say Sikhs are Saitans. They say Christians are criminals. Is this true? We will examine this Aryan charge against Muslims, Christians and Sikhs one by one.
Did the Muslims oppose the Mandal Commission Report? Did they resort to fake self-immolations? Did they go to the Supreme Court challenging the Mandal order? No.
Are the Muslims kicking, killing, burning, raping and destroying the SC/ST/BC properties? Are they coming in the way of SC/ST constitutional reservations ? No. On the other hand all over India, in all urban slums and villages, the two are living together peacefully.
Similarly, no Christians or Sikh opposed Mandal or opposed our human rights.
Aryans our oppressors: Mandal was opposed by these very same Sanatana wadis/Hindus/Aryans. These colonials illegally occupying all positions, posts and properties in the name of “merit and efficiency” are our sole oppressors. They are the oppressors of MCS and they are also the enemies of SSBs. They are the enemies of India. Babasaheb Ambedkar identified these brahminical forces as our Enemy No.1.
So when Simranjit Singh Mann, the Sikh leader, supported the Muslim struggle for Babri Masjid, he was fully right because as a non-Hindu Jat (and also a Sikh by religion) he had everything in common with the non-Hindu Muslims. Both Sikhs and Muslims are oppressed by the same Sanatani/Aryan/Hindu/ Varna racists.
Praise for Jinnah: Mann rightly hailed Jinnah at his Chandigarh conference with his Sikh party leaders. There is no second opinion that Sikhs and Muslims must come together to save India and its unity and integrity from the Aryan dividers who are bent upon creating a Khalistan after creating Pakistan. We congratulate Aryans for taking this initiative in bringing Syed Shahabuddin, Sulaiman Sait and Simranjit Singh Mann together. ‘
SC/ST/BCs and Muslims/Christians/Sikhs (SSB and MCS) people are all brothers and sisters = non- Hindus.
Zionists invading India: Another danger is threatening the Muslims. The brahminical rulers are inviting the zionist forces to invade India through business deals. In the guise of New World Order, white racists and zionists have made a common cause with India’s brahminical/Aryan rulers. And what binds all these three forces is the hatred of Muslims. But the Muslim leadership is least perturbed by these zionists devils coming to the very doorsteps of Muslims in India. So our proposal for the unity of India must get the topmost priority in the SIM Conference in Bombay.
Aryans want to divide India: When our people (85%) come together Indian unity will be strengthened. The Aryans who want to destroy this unity are opposing the Indian unity by their foul some propaganda for “Hindu unity”. In other words, “Hindu unity” of the nazi brand is against Indian unity.
Manu and Marx: The Times of India (Oct. 24, 1991) in an edit criticised the Oct. 22 meeting between SS Mann and Muslim leader, Syed Shahabuddin, and says “it gives a singularly sinister twist to Indian politics”. How can two communities oppressed by the same brahminical social order planning a joint strategy be called sinister? It is sinister from the Aryan point which the Times echoes. We can understand the Times calling it sinister but even our “sacred thread marxists” of the CPM brand described the meeting as a “disruptive game” – thereby proving our oft-repeated charge that in opposing the human rights of the 85% non-Hindus, Manu and Marx take a united stand in India.
The thesis of DV: The thesis of this editorial is that it is not proper to divide the indigenous peoples into SC/ST/BCs and Muslims/Christians/Sikhs. Such an artificial division, meant for official purposes, will help promote cleavage and conflict between them. Such an artificial division is created by the ruling class. Its media fans hatred between one section and the other. So much so, the whole country has turned into a vast bloody battlefield. The fight now is only between the different sections of SSBs and MCS and the ruling Aryans are sitting pretty and enjoying the fun. But the fact is there is hardly any contradiction between these six sections. All the six belong to the deprived sections, persecuted and denied human rights.
Human beings are the same all over the world. They have the same wants, desires, wishes and aspirations. Every person is entitled for his or her human rights.
Follow the Black example: Realising this point, the Africans in the African continent or the American continent have stopped going by this artificial religious division.
The ethnic identity is the most important identity. Religion is like the dress. A Black (Afro-American) like Dr. Louis Farrakhan is first a Black and then a Muslim.
Jamate-Islami Conference: This we also observed in India some years back. The Jamate-Islami held a mammoth conference at Hyderabad to which we had the privilege of leading a Dalit delegation. There at the conference venue we found the Kerala Muslims having a separate mess and maintaining a sort of exclusiveness. This is because the Kerala Muslims, called Moplahs, are a distinct ethnic identity. They are Moplahs first and Muslims second. Unlike the Urdu speaking majority Muslims, the Moplahs speak Malayalam and do not know Urdu or Hindi. Their food, dress and language are different from the rest of the Muslims. A Moplah Muslim feels closer to Kerala SC/ST/BC because he is from their stock. Similarly, a Bengali Muslim is closer to Bengali SC/ ST/BC.
Message of Islam: It is because of this closeness that the message of Islam even to this day reaches the Dalits, and conversion to Islam goes on.
The failure of the nazis in penetrating these bastions is also due to this factor (ethnic oneness).
The greatness of religion: That doesn’t mean we are underestimating the importance of religion. Ethnic identity is a greater bond than religion. The separation of Bangaldesh from Pakistan, though both are Muslims, proves this point.
The Students Islamic Movement of India, an organisation which shares our concerns, must take up this subject for a serious discussion’ at its Bombay conference (Dec. 23 to 26, 1991).
Muslims our elder brothers: Dalits consider Muslims as our elder brothers. Muslims were also Dalits once upon a time but because of Islam they got liberated. But just because they got liberated they do not cease to be our blood-relations.
The Aryan/Hindu propaganda against Muslims has created considerable havoc among SC/ST/BCs. In the beginning many Dalits used to suspect our support to Muslims. But the work done by us in the past ten years has considerably lessened this hostility and in many parts of India, Dalit-Muslim unity has taken a concrete shape. Even political parties have been formed on the basis of this Bahujan Samaj.
Two duties of Muslims: We want SIM of India to seriously discuss this subject. Because, Muslims have two types of duties towards us. First as blood relations, Muslims are duty-bound to help support our liberation struggle and help rescue us from the Aryan oppression.
The second is that Islam, their own religion, imposes a duty on them to help liberate us. Mustad Afeen: The Koran at many places gives Muslims specific directives to fight for the liberation of the Mustadafeen who in India are none other than the Dalits. They cannot be good Muslims as long as they allow the Mustadafeen to be persecuted.
Islam has clearly demarcated the duties of Muslims into those towards god and those towards other creatures by ordering in a very forceful and positive manner saying that god has certain rights upon Muslims (Huqooqullah) and also His creatures (human beings, animals, plants – all creatures) have a right upon Muslims (Huqooq-ul-ibaad).
Dalit right over Islam: Thus a vested right is given to all other creatures to demand certain duties and obligations. The former include prayers, fastings, truthfulness, chivalry, meditation, etc. and the latter consist of economic support (charity), physical support (defence from the attacks of the enemies), political support (supporting the weaker to live honourably with their identities), imparting knowledge including Islamic (Tableegh) etc.
By coming closer to Dalits, Muslims will only be performing Huqooq-ul-ibaad, ordained by Islam and we have a right upon them.
It is through these means that the soofi saints supported Dalits and many Dalits embraced Islam itself and the rest remained obliged to soofies, in other words, to Muslims or Islam itself. The fact that they lived in places far off from cities – jungles, hilltops, suburbs of the cities, which is evidenced from the masoleums constructed on their graves after their death, indicates that their concern was for the Dalits. That is why the Muslim and Dalit masses visit their graves in gratitude.
Muslims must bear these points in mind. If they don’t, they can’t be good Muslims.
The Aryan main aim is to keep the SC/ST/BCs enslaved. They know they can’t enslave the Muslims because the religion of Islam is the very anti-thesis of brahminical religion. But the Aryans are facing a serious problem in their attempt to enslave the SC/ ST/BCs. That is the Muslims are coming as our outer shield. Hence the Aryans want to first finish the Muslims and then enslave the Dalits.
This is the challenge we pose before the SIM of India and call upon them to meet this challenge and save India from the racists, zionists and their makers, the Hindu nazis.
