Similar action by upper caste Hindus against British Empire and untouchables ?

If dalits, (or untouchables, achoots, periyas,dhobis, namshudras, rajbhars, chamars , bhangis, khatiks, mehtars - the fifth stratum of hindu society, these people have to live on the crumbs left by upper castes) do not do their work then who is going to do? the upper castes ? And lose their castes ?

To force these people to do their heredity jobs the Hindu society uses the methods which were used by Gandhi, MK ( Mahatama Gandhi ) and freedom fighters against the British rule. This non-violent movement was based on, among other things, the notion of boycott and non-cooperation. The British goods were to be boycotted and the govt was not to be cooperated with. The Govt servants were required to not cooperate with the govt but draw the salaries. They simply had to sit on the table and do not move a single file ( there are umpteen exuses to not to do anything) thus bring the govt slowly to a halt. No violence is used . In the same manner nobody touches the untouchables. Nobody would buy anything from them. pollution. They can not enter the temples ( they might run the risk of like). Nobody would give them a job in the fields if he refuses to do his allotted job. All his alternative methods to earn a decent livelihood are blocked through non-cooperation and boycott. He is boycotted. Nobody cooperates with him in business ventures. So when he does not have any source of livelihood then slowly and slowly he is brought round the corner to do the humiliating heredity job. No violence is involved. thus one can say that there are similarities between the action taken against British and untouchable by the Hindu society.

However the violence is involved when these lowly people dare to behave in extremely offending manner like going with their heads held high in the village streets, refusing to go barefoot in the presence of an upper caste man, dare to wear quality clothes, do not stand up when the highs and mighties of the society pass by. In such cases a swift violence results to show these people their place. This tactic unofficially goes in the name of Hindu Dharma and Karma. But that is a long story. I will stop here.

Chandrabhan Prasad – the casteist or realist or confused ?

CBP - Chandrabhan Prasad,a Pioneer columnist on dalit issues wants dalits to give up the demand for equality and aspire for equality of opportunity.

“Can Dalits and non-Dalits be equally placed in all the spheres - be it political power, asset ownership pattern and knowledge? Or, can all individuals irrespective of their social roots and abilities be equally affluent and powerful. Can, within Dalits, all be equally placed in all the spheres of public existence?” he says.

But here he is not talking about inequality at all! What he is talking about is that the “equality of outcome” can not be guaranteed. He is not talking about equality. Then goes on to say that equality is not possible!

But he should understand that by equality we mean that all the individuals are treated with equal respect and dignity which is the hall mark of all the developed economies. It has nothing to do with the equality of outcome. Sure either he is confused or he just there because of compassion of upper caste and has to act as their stooge (sorry, man correct me if I am wrong.)

According to him the demand for equality is delusional and does not fit into any known social logic The known social logic depends upon structure of society. The society in India is caste based and results in pre-determined inequalities. So the dalits should ask for only equality of opportunity. Well, Chandrabhan Prasad got his job as columnist because somebody of white color expressed his surprise over the non-existence of a dalit columnist. So to save the face the Pioneer Newspaper decided to employ him as Journalist and thus came a mascot for Indian Media. Look he is the dalit columnist and only one. The Indian Media does not discriminate against anybody. As a mark towards their commitment to non-discrimination, nobody else is chosen for such purpose in any other newspapers. Thus the opinion of white man weighed considerably in his favor. He should have come through a system of affirmative action which is not applicable to Media. Thus he should not have been there but for the weightiness of a white man and compassion of Management of Pioneer.

“why should Dalits aspire for something which doesn't fit into any form of known social logic?” says CBP.

Does the social logic allows dalits to be columnists? Certainly no.

Anyway he says that asking for equality is delusional because it is not available. He is right because the upper castes are not prepared to concede equality. It does not fit into their social logic. All the social logics are derived from unequal caste system, so naturally none of them will give equality to lower caste people. As else where I have said that caste is still the unofficial system of India.

The only social logic available to untouchables is that they have to live with inequality and live at the mercy of Mai Baap upper castes. Here in fact CBP is admitting the strength of caste system. The caste system seems to be impenetrable. He is admitting his defeat. Actually he his behaving much like the Communists, whom he hates most, that the caste is not worthwhile to be objected to. Looks like that both of them say that economic prosperity will make the caste insignificant. He does not see an Indian society based on equality, mutual respect and dignity. What it means is a continuation of society based on inequality, contempt and hate.

But then what is the way out ? First he confuses between equality and equality of outcome then he espouses the equality of opportunity and then goes on to suggest affirmative action. The affirmative action brings into picture the power of state. Why should state interfere if it does not believe in equality? The equality is denied by the society but not by the state. The very fact that he is arguing in favor of affirmative action means that equality of opportunity does not exist. He is asking for non-existence thing. When implemented the affirmative action results in inequalities of opportunities for upper castes.

The principle of equal dignity and respect is foreign to Indian society. In the absence of equality and mutual respect the Indian society will again degenerate where equality of opportunity is not available to everyone but to a privileged few based on superior birth.

Social harmony , caste problem in India and Hindu upper castes

WHO IS GOING TO BREAK THE SOCIAL HARMONY OR DESTROY SOCIAL FABRIC IN INDIA?

We are living in India. It is in South Asia. It is a Hindu majority country of four Varnas – Brahman, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras and one group of Avarnas – the dalits or untouchables. It is in socially descending order. A big country of caste discrimination. Just think one billion people practicing casteism. And majority of them are suffering due to it. They have to because they lack resources and also lack any access to country’ resources. It is all artificially created disability. A man made disaster persisting for thousands of years. The human rights activists and agencies are working in India, against this system and to help the victims but without much impact. This is such a big country with rampant discrimination, an inhuman society (sorry, spiritual society?), with so many castes, ethnicities, languages and what not. There is Hindi, its sister languages and four Dravidian languages. And higher education is in English, so blog is in English also. It is largest democracy in the world. Large than United States of America. It should be matter of pride but it is not, the caste system destroys the egos of low caste people. Low ego goes with low caste status.

This country has its stinking parts.

Bright part is the superiority (of upper castes) acquired by birth – a highly intelligent thing to do!? – or one needs to be rocket scientist to do so - or may be work with more than 10 dimensions in Physics! The caste Hindus steadily refuse to be part of modern world. As noble prize winner Amratya Sen says that the rights are relative to society . This implies that modern human rights are not necessarily applicable to India. Thus India has all the right in the world to follow her traditional path and accompanied distributions of rights. Please correct me if I am wrong. Amarty Sen never seriously talks about caste problems in India.

It is a hugely diverse democratic country with multiparty parliamentary system based on Westminster model. There are two big political parties , Congress and BJP (both the claim to be anti-caste), and many small regional parties. The caste system, which is denounced and denied by almost all the political parties, runs deeply throughout the country with minor differences here and there. The caste system in its details was first described in Manusmriti, one of the 18 major dharma shastras of Sanatan Dhama which is now called Hindu religion. It is actually a matter of pride for caste Hindus, it gives them a sense of mental elevation, a kind of Yogic levitating exercise for which they do not have to make any efforts. The mental satisfaction comes effortlessly. This vertically hierarchal and demeaning (sorry, spiritually satisfying) society has its own notion of harmony. In Hindu society, the harmony means a state of peace where it is maintained in favor of oppressive twice born who form merely 15 percent of Indian society. This minority consists of upper caste Hindus who control all the resource in the country (long live patriotism, they corner everything in the nation, may be in the name of nation); subordination is left to rest of the people. The lower castes have to be patriotic without owning anything in the country and with all the paths to progress blocked! This society has disempowered the majority for thousands of years (it has such a glorious culture!).

Whenever the efforts are made to empower these underprivileged people, the high caste thinkers and activists raise the issue of social harmony. The word it is, designed to denote the peaceful amicable exchange between people in a group. It should be maintained, it has to be maintained at all costs – according to them. This seems to be the idea of upper caste people. This great civilization with great cultural seems to be thriving on social harmony which is built on the tomb of aspirations of low caste people. This harmony is a much needed thing. The upper castes oppressing lower castes without any protest from the exploited, is supposed to be a sign of harmony; the oppression has to be ignored; stability and peace(?) have to be emphasized. Absence of any violence is also a sign of harmony which however is result of powerlessness of low caste people. The harmony is essential to maintain the superiority of upper castes. Let there be harmony or in other words status quo. And everything will be fine. The affirmative action empowers the low caste so it creates disharmony by disempowering the upper caste. And who said power does not play apart. The reservation are demanded to be abolished in the name of harmony, equality and all other kind of things. The delicate social fabric will be destroyed by the affirmative action. All these arguments are paraded in media, academic circles , courts ( Supreme Court of India) and other places. What kind of harmony do they desire - the kind of harmony which results when untouchables are barred from entering the temples - or the kind in which the Dalits are insulted on the village roads or the kind of harmony where school children refused to eat the food cooked by a dalit woman or the kind of harmony where low castes are deprived of any highly paid job.

By harmony they mean a position where low castes willingly agree to their low station in life in name of scriptures, traditions and above all the law (?) of Karma. So these proponents of traditional harmony or peace indicate towards its breakdown. And who is going to break it down when affirmative policies empower the low castes? The backwards and Dalits? No not these people; those who benefit from affirmative action will not destroy peace. This constructive( the upper castes always say that they always do the constructive work, so by extension creating trouble in the society should also be constructive work - provided they do it!!) work of destroying the social fabric will be done by the high castes. Only the privileged castes which stand to get disempowered are going to break the harmony in the society. Why can’t they lend a helping hand in maintaining peace instead of trying to dominate the society? They will refuse to live peacefully with lower castes and use force. Or commit atrocities. And then blame affirmative policies for breaking the harmony in the society. Why it is not their responsibility to maintain the social fabric of the society? Or are they entitled to destroy the peaceful condition in the society? If they are entitled to create law and order conditions when their interests are hurt then aren’t others also entitled do so? Is being violent the sole prerogative of upper castes? Why the same entitlement should not be made in the case of low castes?

If the society does not run as upper castes wish then it is injustice! What a thinking !

Dalit Epistemology

A classic masterpiece by Aditya Nigam largely ignored by twice born academia and media.

Brahmans are thieves ! Stealing the rights !

If somebody steals your money you call him a thief.
And if somebody steals your rights then what do you call him ?
Thief of course.


A society called Hindu


The Hindus are divided into five main groups which , in the descending social order, are Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, Shudras and untouchables. It is not a division of labor, but a division of privileges. It enables some and disables the majority. It proudly cripples the majority. And shows them their place.


The Hindus can, eternally, touch the feet of the eternally superior Brahmans or prostrate before them and feel that their self esteem has increased many fold. All voluntary. Oh , no , actually it is all cultured into Hindu society, so it looks all voluntary.
But how high is your caste if you are touching the feet of thieves? And how high is your caste if you are inferior to thieves ?

The so called spirituality of Hindus does match well with their wretched caste system. Of course, the caste system is still the unofficial system of India. This system has no qualm about making hell out of lives of millions of untouchables, who are born to serve the upper castes from generation to generation. The generations of generations of cruelty work in sequence to produce the stinking Hindu society.

Officially there is no untouchability in India but there are strong evidences of its continuation. The law against untouchability stops working outside 2 km of any Indian city. The legal positivism fails miserably.

There does seem to be an argument against casteism which starts as follows-

The Brahmans are thieves - they are the stealers of people's rights since ancient times.
It does seem odd that the people having highest social position in Hindu society are thieves but it is pretty logical.

In this regard, a book about functioning of Hindu society is soon to be published; the excerpts are being published at http://caste-dharma.blogspot.com . This soon to be published book will discuss, for the first time anywhere in the world, the idea that the Brahmans are thieves being the historical thieves of rights. From there starts the wretchedness of Hindu society. A wretched system can only be created by wretched mentality people who are intelligent but utterly selfish and inhuman. These people are devoid of any bit of humanity.
And touching the feet of inhuman people having wretched mentality? It does seem to be so illogical.

This book will also discuss the Varna exploitation apart from class exploitation. The Varna exploitation is much more encompassing and eternal than the class exploitation. And dehumanizing. All this comes from people who claim to have a great culture and heritage. The cruel social structure of Hindu society towers on the crushed, insulted and crying lives of untouchables. It rubbishes humanity and mocks at equality . And higher castes move with their respective heads held high with their caste pride. Fairness is not the word which exists in their dictionary, well , the righteous is.



Dharma is duty? Wake up man , wake up.
Vedas are divine ?
Whom you are trying to fool?




Hindu Karma theory is nonsensical theory.

It concerns millions of untouchables and millions of Shudras of Hindu society, who are living a wretched lives, courtesy venerable lawmakers , the Brahmans. The plight and voices of untouchables are ignored under the cover of legal positivism. The cultural hegemony of these thieves needs to be broken in this unofficial system of India. The cruelty of this system can freeze the senses of any outsider but not that of Hindus. Equality and freedom are the contaminating ideas from Western civilization. These impurities will contamination pure Hindu society, so these should be kept out. The malefic Western ideas of equality and freedom can cause the corruption of Sattvik Hindu society. With the absence of these ideas one would also find the crushed ambitions of untouchables , the dreams which are dead before their birth, the aspirations which should forever be limited to being the servants of upper caste. Long live the great Hindu cultural heritage. The untouchables should be contented with being called the stinking bottom of such a great civilization.They should never get the free air of freedom and equality.
