Indians dont’t hate Pakistan : It is a vaidik creation to keep Dalits enslaved
The Agra summit (July 15-16, 2001) between 4 Prime Minister Vajpayee of India and President Musharraf of Pakistan, the developments before and after requires serious attention. Before the actual meeting Musharraf was given the grandest reception ever in “independent” India. The Pakistani flag was hoisted in Rashtrapati Bhavan along with the Indian, its national anthem was sung, the President of India very respectfully took the name of Qaide Azam” M.A. Jinnah quoting his unfinished agenda of Pakistan’s good relations with India, Musharraf was taken to his old ®Childhood residence in Darya Ganj, many non- ruling party leaders attended Musharraf’s tea party, and so on. In simple words Musharraf was accorded a treatment that is given to a son-in- law by his mother-in-law on his first visit after marriage in traditional Indian families — an honour not given even to the visiting President of US.
Vaidiks perform yagnas: Vaidiks throughout India expected some results which would help deepen their roots. Even yagnas were performed in temples for the success of the summit meaning that they would be the biggest beneficiaries. The invitation to Musharraf was motivated not for “§’confidence building measures” (CBM) between India and Pakistan as projected but for some confidence building measures for the vaidiks themselves.
But the yagnas were not helpful. The summit failed because the CBM had different perspectives, one for Musharraf and another for Vaidik Vajpayee. When the first item of the agenda (CBM) itself was different in the minds of the two parties, everything else also had to be. And it was. Pakistan’s first CBM was Kashmir and India’s was last (or not at all). Kashmir is the first dispute to be tackled, said Pak. It is no dispute, said India. Kashmir struggle is freedom; struggle (Pak). It is cross border terrorism (India), ~Kashmir has no border (it has only line of control (Pak). It has a border (India). This was the difference of perception of CBM on both sides and the result, not even a joint press conference. Musharraf left abruptly like one running away from a mad house.
Dumb vajpayee: Even after this abrupt separation, the attitudes on CBM were different. Musharraf called a huge press conference with special invitation to Indian journalists, where he spoke extempore from his heart for two hours. Vaidik Vajpayee maintained the greatest silence of his life. The flamboyant orator of yesteryear became virtually dumb. And the greatest wonder on the part of the media was some maintained the strictest possible silence like the proverbial cat biting the pillar and some started talking ill of Pakistan. as usual, before the Bangladesh war (1971). Simla and Lahore were completely forgotten.
This is the position on the Vajpayee-Musharraf, India-Pakistan. Government-Government scenario. What about the non-govt., non-ruling party and people at large scene? This, however, is very important.
Bhutto on India: The Agra summit, the enthusiasm before it and the silence thereafter opens a door for looking at the new way in which the innocent masses of Indians, and leaders of all parties excepting the Brahmana Jati Party (BJP) and its Hindu nazis are marching. India appears to be divided with a mere 3% vaidiks of all shares on one side and the rest of the people on the other. A cleavage appears to have developed even in respect of Pakistan which was the greatest unifying factor for “Hindus”, as was told by Zulfigar Ali Bhutto, the sworn enemy of vaidiks:-
Indians are the most divided people. They are divided into matters of religion, region, language and caste, and are always at loggerheads with each other. The only thing that unites them is the word Pakistan. As soon as it is heard they become one”.
That was in the seventies. But much water has flown down the bridge. Most Indians have started feeling differently, and the first year of the 21st century has started showing a different temperament and approach. A great turmoil was expected in Parliament on the Agra iasco. All preparations were made to meet the situation. But nothing happened. Only a little storm in the teacup. The Opposition leaders should have made virulent attacks on Vajpayee. But they did not. Why? Why this mysterious silence?
The answer is they all found Vaidik Vajpayee at fault. But they did not want to attack the office of the PM on an international matter. They could have also shown greater regard for this office, at least by attacking Musharraf. This too they did not. Because they considered that this was a trap laid down by the vaidiks to speak the vaidik anti-Pakistan language which allows the vaidiks to pose themselves as sober people. This way or that, they did not want to talk ill of Pakistan.
Changing political scene: Why? Is it because of any soft corner for Pakistan? We said yes. This is a very important Yes. And it has to be told after an in-depth assessment and a great sense of responsibility. We must go to the changing perceptions in the minds of the non-vaidiks who are now represented not by vaidiks like Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Narasimha Rao, Vajpayee but by their own respective regional, caste, community leaders like Kanshi Ram, Mulayam Singh, Laloo Prasad, Karunanidhi, Chandrababu Naidu, Deve Gowda etc. This is the big change.
All these leaders are a product of great political change on the part of their respective followers. They are now convinced that Pakistan is a product of the age-old vaidik obduracy, and a dominating wicked mind bent upon perpetuating the inequalities of the vaidik dharma on Indians first and upon the rest of humanity next, through the latest much-researched, debated and cunningly crafted magic words — Hindu and Hinduism.
Hindu yoke on Muslim neck: The regional leaders feel that they are late to realise this vaidik mischief which the Muslims understood well before 1947 when the power was in non-vaidik British hands. Being better informed, better organised and demographically better placed, they were able to throw out this Hindu yoke well before it was sought to be put on their neck. They were blessed by the leadership and inspiration of the recently converted non-vaidiks to Islam like Jinnah (his great grandfather was a Gujarati Bania).
Making full use of the non-vaidik British rule, another great non-vaidik (if not anti-vaidik) leader, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, also tried to throw the vaidik yoke put on the Dalit neck for centuries. But he was partially successful for demographic reasons — the people of his nation/ community having no areas with their predominant population anywhere.
Periyar’s non-Brahmin movement: The other great non-vaidik Tamil leader, Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy, concentrated more on cultural revolution among the Dravidians comprising the non-Brahmins of India, South of the Vindhyas like Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Karnataka and Maharashtra. His crusade itself was called a non- Brahmin movement though infact it was anti- Brahmin, meaning anti-Aryan. Because of the peculiar political situation that a major chunk of South India was ruled by the Nizam of ‘Hyderabad and the Maharajas of Mysore and Travancore-Cochin with whom their subjects had no grievance whatsoever, he had to confine his activities to Tamil Nadu (then Madras presidency which was directly ruled by the British, where alone the Hindu (read Brahmin) Congress Party was promoting the Brahmin cause in the name of Hindu and “nation”.
Tamils not against Kashmir: Periyar’s movement even assumed the shape of a separate nation for the Dravidas to be called Dravidastan like Pakistan. The demographic situation was also favourable, but more concentration on culture rather than politics, and political peculiarities explained above came in the way. Yet the separateness and distinctness in all matters has kept the Tamils so alienated that they are Tamils first, Tamils second and Tamils last. They have no concern whatsoever with the North Indians in any matter including Kashmir. No Tamil leader at any time has said a word against Pakistan.
The situation among the Keralites is much the same. So also, among the Andhras. But some exceptions are to be seen in the upper caste sections of Karnataka and Maharashtra where the original Hindu parties — Congress and some Hindu nazis— still hold ground.
Thus, it may be seen that regional parties like DMK, ADMK, Telugu Desam and sub-regional parties like CPM, CPI, Muslim League, SNDP etc. in Kerala neither have a foreign policy nor any concern for the far away Kashmixz{ Loss or gain of Kashmir is not their priority.
This is best respected in the words of a long- standing South Indian Shudra politician, H.D. Deve Gowda, who on becoming Prime Minister of India said:
I had not seen where Kashmir is on the map. Yet I went to Kashmir personally.
He went there under official compulsion as PM. This also shows that in his 50 years career as a politician, there was never a discussion on Kashmir. The Mongoloid tribals who live in North-East of India also have the same feelings.
The largest political party, CPM, in West Bengal is more a Bengali regional party than a marxist party. For obvious reasons it is called CPM and has no fragrance of marxism of any kind. It has not shown even a token interest in Kashmir. Its leaders vociferously participated in Musharraf’s tea party despite criticism by Hindu nazis.
North-East demand for autonomy: The other parties in the North-East (NE) are also struggling your more autonomy and they are all having a running battle with the oppressive Delhi rule. Just as special provisions are kept for Kashmir in the Indian Constitution under Article 370, most of the NE states too have special provision under Articles 371A (Nagaland), 371B (Assam), 371C (Manipur), 37 1F (Sikkim). One special thing to be noted is that Article 370 was in the original Constitution itself, whereas Article 371 and its kids were incorporated later. That means Article 370 for Kashmir became a model and an inspiration for the NE states indicating that in the state visa vis centre relations, the NE states are with J&K.
It is intriguing why the flamboyant claimant of J autonomy for Kashmir, Farooq Abdullah, has not joined hands with the NE states which are also clamouring for more autonomy. This puts a big question mark on his bonafides.
Thus, there appears to be some meaning in the fear nurtured by the Hindu nazis that India will break up if Kashmir is separated from In- dia. Perhaps, they keep the NE states in mind.
Underlying this vaidik fear is the hidden truth that the various states continue to remain in the Indian Union much against their wish, and this unity is only a legal fiction and not of their hearts and they are waiting for a chance to break.
Aryan interest in Kashmir: Thus, we are left ponly with the regions on the West of Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan, which still hold the Hindu parties dear because they are Aryan, and these Aryans have a common cause with Kashmir. Their immediate nearness, rather border with Pakistan, keeps the pot boiling. They fear that they cannot survive without some kind of hinduness. In other words, anti-muslimism and anti-pakistanism. It is again very pertinent that these states have the least and the most ineffective Muslim and Dalit population.
The only other left-over states are UP and Bihar which have developed strong caste and regional identity, and these regional parties have no foreign policy.
This is our analysis on political and geographical basis that have developed after 1947 slowly in proportion to the growth of enlightenment among non-Brahmins.
Why Aryans hate Muslims: At the all-India level, irrespective of political considerations, there is a universal caste-wise difference of opinion on Pakistan, Muslims and Islam.
The upper castes (Aryans) — about 15% of Indians — comprising Brahmins, Vaishyas and to some extent Kshatriyas are united in their hate against Pakistan, Muslims and Islam. And they have every reason to hate, because: –
(I) It was Islam (Muslims) which shattered their centuries-old hegemony over the rest of the 85% Indians.
(ii) It was Islam which emancipated 35% of the free-hold Hindu slaves (Backward Castes and Untouchables) and took them under its protective shield of Muslims.
(iii) It is these neo-converts to Islam who have been the greatest enemies of brahminism, right from the days of Malik Kafur (Dalit convert) to Jinnah.
Igbals faight against brahminism: (iv) It is Islam which makes even a Brahmin convert to create a Dr. Igbal who stands up as the greatest protector, promoter and projector of Islam not only against brahminism but other issues too, across the globe.
(v) It is Islam which provides the best antidote to brahminism in every aspect of day-to-day personal, social and political life.
(vi) It is the Muslim, who in the very next moment after conversion, stands erect with pride against the Brahmin as an equal — nay as a superior and ridicules the Brahmin in all his acts and beliefs. He produces Quran as against the Vedas, Hadith against the Puranas and so on and very proudly.
(vii) It is Islam and Muslims, which could not be and cannot be swallowed by brahminism, as against Budhism, Jainism, Sikhism and the indian version of Christianity. Everybody falls before brahminism but never the Muslim.
M.N. Roy on Islam: These are some of the major reasons why the vaidiks hate Islam and Muslims and their latest child Pakistan (Kashmir). As against this, these very reasons become a matter of love and regard for the oppressed victims of vaidiks. And these victims form a formidable over 85% of the India’s 1,000 million population. No less than M.N. Roy, founder of the Indian Communist Party and a Bengali Brahmin, had pronounced the verdict on Islam in his book, Historic Role of Islam (Ajanta Books International, Delhi, 1981-fourth reprint). He said Islam is the best and most effective antidote to destroy brahminism. All victims of vaidik Hindu nazism also feel that but for the Muslims they would have seen little light which they see now.
Pakistan as symbol of anti-brahminism: They feel that the struggle for Pakistan was a great protest against brahminism. Pakistan, not as a state but as an ideology (in the words of Z.A. Bhutto again) is anti-vaidik, anti-Hindu nazi and anti-Brahmin ideology as much in consonance with the dream of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy and host of other non- Brahmin leaders all over India like Mahatma Phule (Maharashtra), Sri Narayana Guru (Kerala), Narala Venkateshwara Rao (Andhra) in the recent past and Guru Nanak (Punjab), Kabeer (UP), Basavanna, Sarvagna (Karnataka) since a thousand years, and still earlier, Budha and Mahavir. All these great leaders and their teachings though differed in times and places have always had a common unifying ground and objective — of freeing the over 85% Indians from the clutches of Aryans/vaidiks/upper castes/ Brahminical Social Order (BSO).
All these human haters have now come together under the common umbrella of Hindu/Hinduism and Hindustan, but their sole aim is to promote brahminism by enslaving Dalits.
While the above-mentioned leaders have played small roles at all-India level but very great roles at their respective regional levels, the Muslim role has been more effective at the all-India (subcontinent) level as well as the regional levels. The blows inflicted on the Aryan vaidiks and BSO ahavebeen the most effective and that is why Pakistan became the worst enemy of the BSO.
While the vaidik hatred of Muslim is natural, the non-Brahmin hatred is artificially created. While the vaidik hate is permanent and pathological, the non-Brahmin hate is a recent development. As the Brahmin hate grows the non-Brahmin hate diminishes. And the process is going on. Those teeming millions, who were silent observers in and before 1947 are getting their eyes opened 4 and have realised the truth. But they are so engaged in their struggle for bread that they have no time and scope to think. Almost all these below the poverty line are these very shudras and Dalits. Once their daily bread is assured-or a link is established between bread and Kashmir, these teeming millions will realise in the words of Minoo Masani:
The Indian government spends hillions to defend the Indian from foreign aggression but not even a fraction of it for removing his hunger.
Develop contact with Dalits: And this huge expenditure on defence is made after manufacturing an enemy. And the vaidiks have 24 created such an enemy which suits them best.
The moment the Kashmir problem is solved, the Hindu nazis will have no whipping boy. So, it is in the interest of Hindu nazis, “Hindu unity””, the “Kashmir problem” must continue. The “Kashmir problem” also must continue because the Hindu rulers of India can divert huge funds for defence and thereby keep the hated Dalits, Backward Castes and Tribals hungry and enslaved and thereby also kill them in the unending war in Kashmir where Dalits fight and die as soldiers.
The leaders of Muslims in India, Pakistan and the leaders of Dalits and Backwards must do some serious thinking on these aspects and redraw the ideologies and programmes.
On one side Pakistan must make a detailed study of this struggle of Indians against the Aryan/vaidik/Brahmin/Hindu domination, and on the other side the Dalit, Backward leaders must openly come out that the hate Pakistan/ Muslim/Islam mantra of the BSO should be stopped. There is no wholesale love-hate complex. It is selective and limited. The people-to-people contact, so much spoken of even by some vaidiks (though for diplomacy and hoodwinking) must be, in the true sense, Muslim-Backward-Dalits contact. It is developing fast in India. Pakistan should not fail.
