I congratulate DV on its valuable services to 85% oppressed non-Hindus of India. During its 12 years it has awakened them and specially the 20% Dalits of India who were branded as Untouchables by the brahminical social order. (BSO) No system in the world calls human beings as Untouchables except brahminism. The message of the DV reached the US and to all parts of the world about the prevalence of racism in India in the form of varna and caste (DV Oct. 16, ’92:”Brahminical bid to rename street after Gandhi defeated”).
The Eastern Eye, London Oct. 6 1992, said ‘International Dalit Support Group’ in US organised a campaign against the proposal to name a street after M.K. Gandhi in Atlanta, US, and convinced its city council to abandon its plan of naming because Gandhi sup- ported caste system and was a violent racist. The city council abandoned the plan”. This is the first time that Gandhi was branded as a racist in the west. Other European countries will soon follow and will gradually learn the Indian caste system and varna system, a sort of racism which Gandhi propagated in his saintly attire. Varna means race: Dr. Radhakrishnan said in Chapter IV of his book, The Hindu View of Life, that the Sanskrit word varna, caste, had originally reference to colour of people. This is obviously racism.
John Hinnells and Eric Sharpe also say in chapter on caste of their book, Hinduism , that the Sanskrit word for caste is varna, ‘colour’ and it had to do with skin colour of the invading Aryans as opposed to the indigenous Dravidians. This makes the caste system into a sort of primitive colour bar. It is obvious that the invading pale-skinned Aryans practised discrimination against the dark-skinned 85% originals of India and also practised untouchability against its 20% Dalit population.
Conspiracy with Muslims: Gandhi was a “third class” Aryan in the BSO belonging to Vaishya (Bania) community who decided to practise discrimination against the 20% Dalits (Untouchables) to the extent that he took “vow to resist their human rights (of separate electorate) with his life” and he unsuccess- fully attempted this in the second Round Table Conference in London in 1931. He tried to enter into a conspiracy with the Muslim leaders in the RTC persuading them to oppose the Untouchables demands (who refused) and also went on “fast unto death”against their human rights.
He chided Dr.N.B.Khare, the Brahmin Prime Minister of the Central Provinces of India, for including an educated Untouchable, Agnibhoj, as a minister in Khare’s cabinet because, to Gandhi, Khare’s act was a sort of misjudgment and indiscipline as it was wrong according to Gandhi to raise high ambitions and aspirations among “low caste” Untouchables.
He also discriminated against Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar because, in Gandhi’s eyes Dr.Ambedkar was a “low born” Untouchable though he was thousand times intellectually superior to any Aryan including Gandhi. Varna is hatred: The western world is gaining knowledge on the practice of racism in India in the form of varna or caste. How long the upper castes will hide such racism?
Prof.Burghart says in his book, Hinduism in Great Britain, that its traditional and privileged spokesmen are: (i) ascetics and (ii) Brahmins. Indian social history reveals that the Brahmins have manufactured the literature of varna and spread the poison of social hatred against the “lower classes” and the Untouchables of India. They are now spreading such poison in foreign countries and also demanding equal treatment from the foreigners simultaneously when inequality is their official doctrine.
Ugandan Indians: It was televised on Oct. 10, 1992 on BBC in London how the Ugandan Indians practised discrimination against Blacks in that country and how Gen.Amin expelled 50,000 Asians in 1972. Bakul Vyas was the spokesman of the Asians.
The Hindu caste system or varna system are the worst form of racism which Prof. Y.N. Kly says in his book, “International Law and the Dalits in India”, that it is sanctified racism. No wonder the International Dalit Support Group has exposed it in US and branded Gandhi a racist because he was a follower of racism.
It is irrational on the part of Indians to condemn racism and discrimination in European countries and to propagate it within India. I wish the DV should continue awakening the 85% non-Hindus and also enlighten the world on racism in India in the form of varna and force the western universities to establish a separate department on Indian racism and its impact on the “lower classes” and the Dalits of India on a similar line of racial discrimination in majority of the western universities.
