Ambedkar’s Efforts for Adivasis

All these people are now realizing that Dr. Ambedkar had struggled a lot for Adivasis also. We must strive for upliftment of BCs and Adivasis said Dr. Ambedkar. The purpose of keeping them in sub-clause (2) of Hindu Code Bill was to make some provision for them and Hindu Law would “apply to them only if it is proved that Hindu customs and Hindu usages are prevallent in that class”, and it will not apply to them unless “they have adopted the customs.” [W&S, vol. 14 part 2, p.886-7]

Ambedkar asked for right of Adult franchise for Adivasis, in 1928, Simon Commision Statemnt, commenting that Legislatures are the places where “social battles have to be fought, previlages have to be destroyed, and rights have to be won”. He avered that their illeteracy should not come in way of giving them right to vote, as even an illiterate is intellegent and knows his welfare. [W&S, vol.2, p.471]

Disagreeing with the Britishers’ idea of keeping the Adivasis segregated, during the evidence taken before the joint Committee on Indian Constitutional Reforms in 1933, he professed the ideal that these primitive people should not remain primitive and they should cease to be an isolated part of humanity and take part in the public affairs of this country like others. That they must not loose their lands and be landless labourers and their lands be protected from money lendes by suitable Laws. The education is more neccesary for BCs and Adivasis, more than anybody else, he said, and wanted adequate representation for them in legislature assuring the friendship of many BCs. [W&S, vol.2, p.737 ff.]

We the people - these are the most important words in our constitution. Everything depends on

us- the voters,who have an opportunity and the right to choose our representatives, demand

accountability and determine the direction of growth and governance of the country. Several

problems have surfaced in the gigantic task of conducting elections in India and to ensure that

elections are free and fair. With each passing election, the educated citizens of our country

seem to have grown ignorant and apathetic about the electoral process and elections. The result

has been a steady deterioration in the standards and practices of political parties reflected in

rampant corruption and the reckless use of money and muscle power to win elections.

Active participation of citizens is an absolute prerequisite to make the electoral system more representative, fair, transparent and free from all the other ills. Eleanor Roosevelt once said:“nobody can hurt you without your consent” which in this context can be rephrased as“nobody can marginalise you without your cooperation.

‘Countermand elections or declare an Adivasi candidate as winner’

Congress, BJP, JD(S) candidates accused of producing fake caste certificates

They ‘tampered’ with records to claim they are from Nayaka community

MYSORE: The State unit of the National Front for Adivasi Self-rule (NFASR) and the Nagarahole National Park Tribal Rights Restoration Committee have appealed to President Pratibha Patil to countermand elections to the H.D. Kote (ST) Assembly Constituency, or declare as winner the Adivasi candidate who gets the highest number of votes, in view of the controversy over the caste status of five candidates including two independents.

Candidates of the Congress, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janata Dal (Secular) contesting from the reserved H.D. Kote constituency have been accused of producing fake caste certificates to contest in the elections.

NFASR had appealed to the State Election Commissioner to disqualify them for misguiding the Election Commission.

M.R. Ravi, Assistant Commissioner of Hunsur Sub-Division, has submitted a report to the District Election Officer (DEO) P. Manivannan on the the candidates allegedly tampering with the records in order to claim Scheduled Tribe status.

In his report sent to the DEO on May 5, he said that the Tahsildar of H.D. Kote had issued a “controversial caste certificate without verifying the original documents and failed in following the procedure while dealing with the sensitive issue of issuing caste certificates.”

Based on the recommendations, Mr. Manivannan had suspended H.D. Kote Tahsildar T. Vijaya on April 25, and ordered a departmental inquiry for issuing a caste certificate to BJP candidate Chikkaveera Naika.

Although they belong to the “Parivara” community, the Congress, Janata Dal (S) and BJP candidates contested in the elections by claiming themselves to be from the Nayaka community by tampering with official records, according to Mr. Ravi.

The Directorate of Civil Rights Enforcement had issued a circular a few years ago listing a few communities including “Parivara” which should not be categorised as Scheduled Tribes. Tribal organisations in Hunsur and H.D. Kote had launched an agitation accusing various backward groups of cornering the benefits meant for Scheduled Tribes.

Convener of Development through Education (DEED) S. Srikanth told The Hindu that the tribal rights restoration committee had appealed to the President on Saturday to countermand the elections to the constituency or declare as winner the Adivasi candidate who would get the highest number of votes

In C.V.raman Nagar Assembly Constituency One of the candidates raised objection of JDS candidate that he was a Christian. But the Election Officer said that they go by the Caste Certificate issued by the Tahisildar and hence cannot reject his candidature and only the Court has to be approached for further action.

Lambani to set foot in Assembly

His candidature was a calculated move by BJP

BIDAR: A new face, Prabhu Chavan, has made a mark in the district after winning the Aurad (reserve) seat in the district by a huge margin of votes. He is a Bharatiya Janata Party candidate who has been successful in his first attempt at the Assembly polls.

Earlier, some associations had raised an objection with the Election Commission regarding Mr. Chavan’s community. They said that Mr. Chavan hailed from the Banjara community and he therefore could not claim benefit under Scheduled Castes. But Mr. Chavan got clearance after a report from Department of Social Welfare stated that “both Banjara and Lambani are synonymous in the State”.

Chief Election Commissioner N Gopalswami on Monday said that due to the strict implementation of the code of conduct, the State Election Commission had been able to seize cash and material worth Rs 40.83 crore in the State so far, allegedly used for wooing voters.

Speaking to reporters he said that of the cash and material seized, Rs 16 crore was in terms of cash, Rs eight crore worth of liquor, and Rs 16 crore worth of other materials.

As a non-existent tradition or way of life can not die, and as the decline of Buddhism in India is a historical fact, the theory of its origin as a “reformed” Aryan Invaders Cult is false. If Buddhism was a sect of “Hinduism”, then one may well ask the proud supporters of Shankaracharya, what was that religion which was “driven out by Adi Sankara”, as they claim? Was it also Hinduism? This proves that Buddhism is not a sect of Hinduism, which was nonexistant till Muslim conquest.

Aryan Invaders Cult usurped Buddhism

Aryan Invaders became the leaders of Buddhism because of their learning, and first disfigured it thoroughly with ritualism and images, and then destroyed its separate organization of monasteries and monks with the help of the foreign masters who came into power. But the Buddhism of Harsha and Nagarjuna did not disappear, it formed the nucleus of the later Hinduism, superadded with horrors of caste. To become the sole leaders of the country and to enforce their system of castes, has always been the prime motive of Aryan Invaders Cult, and if Buddhist order of monks and monasteries had survived, the Aryan Invaders could not have achieved this goal. So they completely destroyed the external institution of Buddhism, the monks and monasteries. Aryan Invaders became the undisputed leaders, and a new popular religion, Hinduism, emerged with important aspect of caste, as Dharmatitha observed:

“… Caste is an entirely independent social order which was neither in the ancient Aryan religion nor in primitive Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath religion nor in Buddhism. It is the unique contribution of the Aryan Invader priests, and none else ever wanted it, until the country lost its national religion and political freedom, and the Aryan Invaders succeeded in imposing the system upon the people almost at the point of the bayonet with of alien masters. [Swami Dharmatirtha, p. 110]

Aryan Invaders Cult does not mean Aryan Invaders alone

As the British Imperialism does not mean the British people and symbolizes a vast system and has numerous votaries among Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath also, Aryan Invaders Cult, similarly, does not signify the Aryan Invaders exclusively, but an ancient order of things of which the Aryan Invaders are the leaders and champions. It stands for the aggregate of ideals, institutions and past history of the socio-religious constitution of the Hindu society. We have to serve the welfare of the entire nation and not the sentiment of separate castes, though Aryan Invaders, or Kshatriyas or others must accept a larger share of the blame for the disaster which has befallen us all. We have to understand that it is the pernicious system which is throttling us all equally, and is the subject of our criticism. A prominent thinker of Maharashtra, Raosaheb Kasbe, has elaborated the subject by saying that,  Aryan Invaders are fortunte that, “Aryan Invaders” is a name of Caste as well as of a Varna“, thereby implying Class, this status being bestowed upon them by Smritis. As a class and as a power structure, Aryan Invaders have developed vested interests. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth  writers divide the history as Aryan Invaders Vs. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth , instead of Vedic Vs. non-Vedic, and when the words having Aryan Invaders as one of their components are used by them to criticise these vested interests, the meaning implied is against the power structure and not agaist the caste. If this is a blameworthy mistake, the mistake is committed by the authors of Smritis, specially “Yama smriti”, and they and the later authors desrve the blame. [Kasbe Raosaheb, “hindu muslim prashna aani sawarkara cha hindu rastravaad”, (marathi) Sugawa Publ. 1994, p.242 ff.]

Causes of fall of Buddhism

We saw M. M. Kane’s views and those of other scholars. Caliber of Vajrayani Buddhists was not the cause, neither was the Tantric practices. Buddhist Siddhas were the forerunners of Bhakti cult, which now Hindus claim to be theirs. In this respect Aryan Invaders Cult books must not be relied upon.

Techniques of imposing slavery over the population by the Aryan Invaders Cults were studied. In present times the struggle is amongs the followers of Phule, Shahu, Ambedkar Versus those of Tilak Gandhi Golwalkar. We saw the Sryan Invaders Cult tendency to find faults with Buddhism for country’s ills, like Sawarkar in his “saha soneri pane” blaming Buddhist Ahimsa and ignorng the real reason being Chaturvarna.

Position of women in ancient Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth has been studied in detail in Pre-Vedic and Vedic times and Buddhist Doctrines and Laws about them contrasted and Manu’s role in their degradation stressed. This continued in Rajput and in middle ages in pre-British times, and got worst during Peshawa rule.

Even today Buddhism is the national Religion of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath 

We saw how Buddhism was the national religion of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath and that it is flourishing even now in the garb of Hinduism with superadded Chaturvarna. We saw Buddhism is not a sect of Hinduism, irrespective of false propaganda of RSS. As Dr. Tulsiram, Associate Proffesor, School of International Studies, JNU and editor of Hindi monthly ‘Vishwa Ashvaghosah’, observes the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, has organised a number of “World Hindu Buddhist Conferences”, at Haridwar, Modi Puram, Sarnath, Rajgir, Buddha Gaya, and Lumbini. At these conferences, it is falsely claimed that since Buddhism is an essential part of Hinduism, those who want to embrace Buddhism should embrace Hinduism directly. Also the text books are manipulated e.g. in a class IX book, the Sangha Parivar’s Government in Gujrath has inserted that “the caste system is the greatest gift of Aryans to humankind.” One of the reasons of reasserting Sankrit is preservation of caste. He observes:

“… The religion based on caste system has annihilated millions of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth  over the centuries. About three million Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth women have been raped and around one million  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth killed from the time of Independence. This is 25 times more than number of soldiers killed during the wars fought after independence. That is why Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharth  do not need Aryan culture or Hindu Dharma based on caste any more. …” [Dr. Tulsiram, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

 Orphan of Humanity

Buddha was ignored in his own country. Vedantists’ claim that Vedanta alone can save the world and humanity has proved false and let alone saving the world, Hindus did not cultivate any superior virtues and ideals, and deny justice and humanity to their own kith and kin. Failure of Socialist Reformers was because they are steeped in the culture of caste and the religion of deception and exploitation. Same is the condition of the so called Nationalists, who only cultivated regionalism and language struggle and a good number of our Socialists and Nationalists turned out to be rank Capitalists and fanatical Communalists. Of many revolutions against Aryan Invaders Cult, only work of Guru Govind Singh and Sikhism seems to have survived, at least to some extent, being influenced by saints like Kabir and Nanak, all under spirit of Buddhism.

Hindus became Hindus by Conversion

The derogatory sense of the word “Hindu” is forgotten, it is also forgotten that Aryan Invaders Cult did not like to be called as Hindus, not a long time back and that Hindus became Hindus by a sort of mass conversion or mass classification by the Muhammadans, and the various castes acquired their status by a similar process of mass classification behind their backs by the Aryan Invaders Cult first and lastly by the British Government by laws made for them. We saw that Hinduism is not a religion in the sense in which Buddhism Muhammadanism and Christianity are. It is a loose conglomeration of castes, which is described by one author as a “grocery shop”, where the comodity called “grocery” is not sold. Therefore, all those who are not Muhammadans or Christians are treated as Hindus, where all types of worship is allowed, as long as Aryan Invaders supremacy is maintained. Even for these Christians and Mohamedans, Aryan Invaders have plans to incorporate in Hinduism and terms like “Mohemadi Hindus” are already coined for them, and full preparations are going on for its implementation. Also plans are afoot to create new ‘Swastika’ temples for such “purified” Christians. Thus the vagueness of Hinduism is a virtue for them, and language of Vedanta is the garb of camaflouge of equality, which help in the desire of Aryan Invader elites to govern the OBCs. Arrogance of Aryan Invaders, who rule Hindus, did not change since the times of Abbe Dobois, neither did their attitude towards women.

Suggestions for nation building

The constructive thoughts and efforts and guiding as to what must be done as advised by Swamiji are summerised in the ability to evolve new ideals and institutions to embody the spirit of the collective life and will and avoid an obstinate clinging to mere existence and past glories. India had been suffering under the two imperialisms, Aryan Invaders Cult and British placed one above the other, and three tests of Hindu Nationalism should be (1) Opposition to caste, (2) opposition to priestcraft and idolatry, and (3) Inter-religious tolerance and fraternisation. It must be realised that more nationalism persisted in the past before the British arrived, and there was more fellow feeling in teachings of saints, inspired by Buddhism.

Modus operandi of Aryan Invaders Cult to enslave Hindus

That the kalivarjya was the method of Aryan Invaders to tackle the Buddhist influence over the masses and impose their supremacy. All laws and rules, were amended including Civil, Criminal, Revenue and Personal laws, without actually condemning them. Who suffered in Kalivarjya were the OBCs due to failure of export of their productions. These are the masses of which Indian society is made of, and it is the need of the day to educate them. The process of emancipation of masses was started by Mahatma Phule, strengthened by Shahu, and put in Indian Constitution by Dr. Ambedkar. Now it is the duty of masses to protect the Constitution, if they want to protect themselves from oncoming Aryan Invaders tyranny.

Decline and fall of Buddhism

Techniques in causing decline and fall of buddhism, the Caliber of Vajrayani Buddhists, the methods of Aryan Invaders Cult Conquest by peaceful means, the domestic and sexual invasion in Kerala are discussed, and the role of Shankara explained. Various techniques of Aryan Invaders Cult controls, the difference between Local and Regional Aryan Invaders Cult the admission of kings to Varna System, the extension of Varna system, the Extension of Sanskritic deities, the creation and developement of ceremonial and the Sanskritisation of names of places discussed and the social self of Aryan Invaders explained. It was seen how Buddha’s Sangha was captured by Aryan Invders, and how Aryan Invaders destroyed Buddhism from outside also and how Kautilya checked growth of Buddhism and how Buddhism tried to thwart attempts of Aryan Invaders Cult and how Aryan Invaders Cult crushed Nationalism.

Foreign invasions

The foreigners like Shakas, Pahlavas Hunas etc. were assimilated by Buddhist ideals and not the Aryan Invaders Cult, and the Hindu Muslim Conflict would not have been there if Buddhism was alive at the time of Muslim invasion. We saw the Aryan Invaders had comunications links with foreign forces and that they obtained foreign help to topple kings unwanted for them.

About the conditions at the time of arrival of Europeans, Raja Sekhar Vundru, IAS, former JNU student writes:

“Vasco da Gama landed in 1498 in Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath, a veritable social hell for the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath feeding on carcasses, lurking like animals in the day with a status worse than an animal and conditions of life worse than a million genocides of a Hitler. The greatness of  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharathlies in their confidence to accept the ultra sub-human existence and breed dasyus, menials, slave, asuras, chandalas and untouchables: unparalleled and unrecorded in the history of world civilizations.” [Raja Sekhar Vundru, “The Pioneer”, Dalit Millennium Issue, 30 Jan. 2000]

How Hindus enjoyed Aryan Invaders Cult slavery?

The evils of Hindu caste system are well known. The theory of karma castrated the society and deprived all the masses from the motivation to revolt against the domination and atrocities of the priestly class, making all the Hindus the slaves of Aryan Invaders. We know that Rigvedic Society had only three Varnas. The fourth varna, i.e. of Shudras was added by “purusha-sukta“, late in Buddhist times and was a planned to destroy the egalatarian Buddhist society, to stop Kshatriya revolt against Aryan Invaders and to stop the flow of Shudras towards Buddha’s Dhamma.

We discussed the sexual behaviour of Aryans and how the ancient Aryan society did not have the marriage institution as we believe it today, or rather had no marriage institution at all. The barbarous Aryan society considered no relationship like brother- sister, father-daughter. Rajwade has explained how the priests had to satisfy the sexual demand of any woman approaching them at the time of yajnyas, then and there in open ground, in presence of Vedic fire. The Buddha fought against this and included vow to abstain from mithyachara, i.e. improper behaviour in sexual matters, among the five shilas.

Conversion from three varna society to four varna society was a great revolution in Aryan society, and entry of shudras into Chaturvana system, transformed savage society to rural one, claims Rajwade. But the Buddha discarded Varna System, where Shudras were made the beasts of burden with all the forced labour duties and no rights. Buddhists had no caste and Ashokan Society was integrated and that caste revived on the decay of Buddhism and emergence of Shaivism and Vaishnavism around 8th century A.D.

The productive castes suffered in Kalivarjya, one of the means adopted by Aryan Invaders to dominate Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath. The national Religion was destroyed by Caste System and Caste hierarchy with Aryan Invaders having vested interests. They grew most powerful with the duty of kings being enjoined to worship Aryan Invaders, whose arrogance was not an empty claim and Aryan Invaders ruled over masses also not only the kings. Free Lands and houses were given to them, with no taxes and no fear of punishments. Secular powers were also exercised by Aryan Invaders and Aryan Invaders Sabhas had power over all castes. Dharma Sastras were recasted in Muslim Rule and laws amended to establish Aryan Invaders supremacy. Means employed by Aryan Invaders to enslave Hindus included Punishments and Ordeals on Caste basis, and false philosophies created to support immoral acts to distort the religion. Buddhism had tried to save masses from Aryan Invaders Cult slavery but in vain. We know how Vijaynagar Empire was a seat of exploitation of masses and Aryan Invaders Cult was punished for the crimes.

Scheduled Tribes (aadivaasi)

Fall of Buddhism saw the rise of untouchables, the so called criminal tribes and Aadivaasis. Their problems are discussed, explaining differences between Castes and Tribes and origins of various names. Their history is traced from Prehistoric Period and it is explained that they are not remenents of Neolithic Age but are post Buddhistic. We know how Indus Valley civilization did not belong to Aryans, how Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath was land of Naagas and its language Tamil, and how Vratyas were Naagas. We know history of the Sisunaaga Dynasty, that Naaga worship is non-Vedic and Naagas were Buddhists. There was a casteless society among the Naaga culture, Naagas having their Republics. We know the denegration of Naagas in Mahabharata, which opens with a curse on Naagas. We know Naaga Rajas in Kashmir and Rise of Buddhism there with Ahimsa of Buddha, and studied Serpent worship during Mauryan Dynasty, the times of Naagaarjuna and Kanishka, the Buddhist Sculptures and that Ayrans created writings, whereas Naagas created structures. We studied importance of Tribal Population in Sanchi and Amaravati Stupas and antiquity of Naaga clans.

Other effects of Fall of Buddhism

We know other efects of Caste culture were deprivation of Education and spread of illiteracy and how fall of Buddhism directly affected the multitudes of population, who were denied education. How Gurukul system was detrimental to the interests of masses is explained and how a most educated country, where foreign scholars were coming to take higher education in Jambudviap, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Universities, became the most illiterate country of the world due to fall of Buddhism is explained.

We know how position of women detoriated and ultimately reached to the stage of burning of widows. We know that Rajput Age was Dark Age of Jambudvipa, thatis the Great Prabuddha Bharath and how Aryan Invaders created Rajputs to get hold over the population, and how it caused the degradation and fall of Jambudvipa, thatis the Great Prabuddha Bharath  masses.

Kulin system of Bengal:  was created to increase the population who would be willing to accept the supremacy of Aryan Invaders and all the ill effects of this System is explained.

Sambandham System of Kerala: Aryan Invaders managed to gain control over the Buddhist Nayars by this method of “Cultural fertilization” and  it destroyed the cultural fabric of old Kerala society.

Devadasis: A system of Religious prostitution is discussed. It was put forward by the present author, for the first time, that Devadasis were degraded Buddhist nuns, in his book in 1991, “Tirupati Balaji was a Buddhist Shrine”. The subject is discussed more fully here.

Fall of Science: How Science was on zenith in Buddhist Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath and Aryan Invaders purposefully caused its fall to uphold their own supremacy after the fall of Buddhism.

Kashmir Problem: A Buddhist country of Kashmir became Mohammedan country, thereby leading to all the present problems is discussed.

Language Problem: Acountry, which speaking one language and one or two scripts during the Buddhist period was divided into a country of multiple languages and scripts.

The Remedies

The reason why need to know the history is to guide us in future. If that purpose is not served, it has no meaning. The rulers of the society know it. Therefore, those who like that the oppressors should keep on oppressing and sufferers should go on suffering, never wish that the masses should know the real history. They present only those aspects of history which suits them, even distorting the facts. To find the cure, one has to know and understand the cause of ailments. If the interpretation of the history is on proper lines, the remedies would be correct. There is no doubt that now all realize that the real cause of all the ills of this country has been its religion. If this is realized, the ills can be cured and Indian masses can see the bright future. We narrate the views of some of the prominent thinkers.

In key note address at the recent “Bahujan Conference” at Nagpur by a prominent OBC thinker and writer, expressed his views on the future course of action to be taken by OBCs. He stressed the importance of realizing the principle that OBCs and the Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath  are co-sufferers. They should make it a point that they will neither tolerate the injustice done by others, nor would commit injustice against others. Vedic culture came into being after the destruction of Indus Culture. Among those who opposed Vedic culture, prominent was the Buddha and his movement was much more powerful than that of Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]

Amartya Sen got the Nobel Prize, he said, but did not get enough publicity in Indian media, not even as much as the Beauty Contests did. The reason was that while discussing the Asian cultural history, Sen pointed out that the main reason why education did not reach the grass root levels in Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath was that machinery of education remained in the hands of fistful of priests, and that as contrasted against this, education reached the people at bottom levels of society in the other neighbouring nations like Ceylon and others, because they were following Buddhism. The Bahujans must realize that a person who declares these facts would not get any appreciation from the established society here. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]

Amartya Sen, when questioned by journalists about his preceptor and the father of his ideals on Welfare State, had acknowledged the Buddha as his ‘guru’ and Ashoka as his ideal, a fact which never appeared in any Aryan Invaders Cult media. [Speech by P. S. Changole at Aurangabad, ‘Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]

He explained how Indus Culture was followed by Vedic onslaught, how Buddhism was followed by Counter-revolution by Manu, how Saints and Shivaji was followed by Peshawai and now how after the revolution of Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar we are faced with danger of destruction of this system by Aryan Invaders Cult counter- revolution by the R.S.S. If we wish to avert this calamity the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath must sort out the points of conflicts and unite. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]

He urged the OBCs to discard Wamana as an incarnation, and questioned how he can be our ideal instead of Bali. He also opined that OBC youths should reexamine the ‘Gita‘, and if it teaches you to follow the duties of ‘Chaturvarnya‘, you would be required to throw it away. ‘Gita‘ talks of ’swadharma’, which does not mean Hindu or Islam religion, it means ‘Chaturvarna dharma‘’. He asked OBCs to evaluate the history of the Buddha through their own values instead of those of Manu, Shankara or Aryan Invaders Cult books. He asked them to examine their own religion and ask themselves what exactly, it offers them. It offers nothing but slavery, he stressed. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]

He averred that it is a false history, taught to us that Shankara defeated Buddhism, but if he had evolved some strategy and helped its decline, not only for Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath, but also even for people in grass root level, and for those who call themselves as Kshatriyas and for Marathas and Kunbis and OBCs, it was not a golden day of glory but it is was a moment of pushing them into darkness and slavery. He advised that the sufferings of  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath are the sufferings of OBCs, and vice versa. We are not fighting against any caste, not even Aryan Invaders, but against a system of inequality imposed over Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath by the religious books. Some OBCs think they are Kshatriyas, and should side with Aryan Invaders because of our scriptures which condemn the ‘Shudras’ and not the ‘Kshatriyas’. Their mentality is to accept the slavery of Aryan Invaders but not to consider Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath equal to themselves. But if you inspect the reality, you would find that not only Ekalavya and Shambuka suffered but also Tukaram, who was an OBC, suffered. For the scriptures, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath and OBCs are both ‘Shudras’ and both deserve condemnation and are deprived from their rights. Today OBCs are projected as neo- Kshatriyas and made to fight against Muslims and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath, but they must not forget that they are being used as tools and will the thrown away after their utility ends. If the merit is important, there is no doubt that Shivaji’s merit as a ‘Kshatriya‘ was proved. Why then his coronation was opposed by the Aryan Invaders of Maharashtra. Today Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath honour Shivaji and Shahu with full reverence, not as a strategy or convenience, but from the bottom of their hearts, then why OBCs should not honour Ambedkar likewise? [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000] Similar views are expressed by him later in “First Maratha Sahitya Sammelan” held very recently at Amravati in Vidarbha. This literary meet of Marathas was highly maligned by Brahmanical press and scholars.  

Aryan Invaders  attitude towards Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath 

 The attitude of elitist media towards these people.

“Media explosion finds news value in  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath only when they are killed. Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath do not see themselves as victims of atrocities. Atrocities are part of their daily life. For Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath persecution is as old as Shambuka, denial as old as Eklavya; revolution as old as Buddha; valor as old as Asura; slavery as old as dasyu and untouchability as old as touch. Nevertheless, Manudharma’s tentacles are wide spread and all-compassing.” [Raja Sekhar Vundru, “The Pioneer”, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath Millennium Issue, 30 Jan. 2000]

The best remedy is as uggested by Late Manyawar dadasahib Kanshram ji ‘B Media 4 Sarvajan Hithaya Sarvajan Sukhaya’.

Each and every elite and educated of Sarv Samj in general and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath in particular must become the media to counter the anti-Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath propaganda of the Aryan Invaders Cult media. Thay must start their own News Papers, since Aryan Invaders News Papers are just their Views Papers & the media is controlled by the Moneyed, Mafia & Manuvadis.

The Educated and the elite Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great prabuddha Bharath must start their own websites and blogs and write about the need for empower themselves and spread Dhamma for the welfare and happiness for all.

When Dr. Ambedkar was trying for “Hindu Code Bill”, which was to remove the injustice on Hindu women, Jereshastri the then Shankarachrya of Sankeswara Pitha, wrote:

“… Milk or Ganges water may be holy, but if it comes through a nallah or a gutter, it can not be considered sacred. Similarly, the ‘Dharmasastra’ howsoever it may be authentic, it can not be considered authentic because it has come from a ‘Mahar’ like Dr. Ambedkar. Ambedkar is a scholar, it is said that his study of scriptures is great, but he is an ‘antyaja’. How can the Ganga of Scriptures comming from the nallah of Ambekar be holy? It must be discardable like milk comming from the gutter…”

Quoting this passage from ‘Nav Bharat‘, daily, 21 Jan. 1950, Yashwant Manohar observes, even the women for whose liberation was this Bill opposed it. We see today these women participating in hindutwavadi organizations. They opposed Mandal Commission, and they still oppose the reservation of OBC and other women, however, they demand right to priesthood. [Yashwant Manohar:, 1999: p.73]

Our religion and Constitution must not have contradictions

In his last speech during Sarnath visit in 1956, Dr. Ambedkar spoke to students, as reported by Nanak Chand Rattu, in Benares University Hall. Speaking on Adi Shankara philosophy, he said that if the Aryan Ivaders pervaded all, a Aryan Invader and an untouchable were equal. But Shankara did not apply his doctrine of Aryan Invader to social organization and kept the discussions only on Vedantic level. Had he applied it on a social level and preached social equality, his proposition would have been profound and worth consideration, in spite of his belief in the world being an illusion. Rattu reports:

“He, therefore, asked the students whether they would follow Hindu scriptures which supported graded inequality propounded by Purush Sukta and give religious sanction to social inequality or whether they would stand by the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity propounded in the Constitution, and refute the graded inequality preached by the Hindu scriptures.” [Rattu: 1997: 99]

How Buddhist Books reached West

Arrogance and hatred against Buddhism is seen by the fact that around 1816 A.D. after Nepal was settled under British rule, Brian Hodgson came there as Assisant to the Resident in a newly opened Office. He obtained many MSS from Buddhist pundits like Amrutananda, and sent the collection to Asiatic Society of Bengal and to Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath House in Paris and other libraries. Once, Minister Rana Bahadur Jang of Nepal seized a Buddhist Vihar and threw away all the books in the street. Dr. Wrights, who was Physician to British Resident got it collected and presented to the Cambridge University. From these sourses Burnuff and his disciple Max Muller compiled early history of Buddhism. [Kasbe: 1996: 315]

How Upnishads reached West

It is also interesting to know that it was Dara Shukoh, brother of Emperor Aurangjeb, who got many Upnishads translated into Persian through pundits of Kashi. These were later translated into Latin. Duparron obtained a copy from a French scholar M. Gentyl in court of Sirajuddolah, and later Burneere took it to France on his trip to Bengal in 1775 A.D., and translated into French, and later published in Latin. Weber commented on these in his “Jambudvipa,that is Prabuddha Bharath Studies”. The South Jambudvipa,that is Prabuddha Bharath collection was published for the first time in 1851 by W. Elliot in Journal of Asiatic Society in Bengal, and later translated and incorporated in ‘Bibliotheca India‘. [Kasbe: 1996: 228]

Jabalopnishad

That the main target of Aryan Invaders Cult was the OBCs, in ancient times as it is today, is clear from more sourses than one. Kasbe describes one instance where OBCs are equated with impotents etc. According to him, “Jabaloupnishad”, which is a later Upnishad, is highly venomous to the orthdox as they believe it planted the seeds of starting of Buddhism and destruction of Vedic religion. The reason was it had allowed renunciation of household duties and accepting the “pravajya” any time, wihout going through the tradional Ashramas. Ahitagni Shankar Ramchandra Rajwade, a Vedic scholar, criticised bitterly this upnishad in his criticism of ‘nasdiya sukta bhashya‘, saying that when a sentence ‘yadahrev virjettdahrev pravajet‘ appeared in this upnishad, it paved the way for all the “bungled and botched” ‘vratyas’, ‘patitas’ etc. for a life of “Liberty-Equality- Fraternity”, thereby reducing the importance of Aryan Invaders in the society. Though Jabalopnishad advocated ‘sanyas‘ at any age, there were upnishands that time in existence asking for taking sanyas after all three ashramas, and also upnishadas which included the ‘Kumbhar‘ (potter), and ‘Teli‘ (oilmen) among the list of those for whom ‘sanyas‘ was prohibited, like to impotent, outcaste, deaf, dumb etc. [Raosaheb Kasbe, “manav aani dharm chintan”, Sugawa, Pune, 1996, p. 223]

A neglected message from Dr. Ambedkar to OBCs

An article was published recently in Marathi local magazine by Suhas Sonwane based on daily Loksatta. The following is a gist of it, translated from Marathi.

Mr. 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. 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 23rd March 1947. It was made available by Shri Vijay Survade recently and was undocumented till now. Dr. Ambedkar said:

“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 Aryan Invaders in India. It is essential that such a pressure is maintained, as without it, the aims and policies of the state can not 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. Aryan Invaders had to face a lot of opposition and obstacles, but they are overcoming these and progressing ahead.”

“I can not forget, rather I am sad, that many people do not realize that the Caste system is existing in Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath 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 Aryan Invaders and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath 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 Aryan Invaders 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 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 he 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.

Buddhist “Bahujan” meant Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath 

Vedic social stucture was created for supremacy of Aryan Invaders and it was not possible to liberate all the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath masses without destroying it. “Bahujan Samaj” of Buddha was not the middle castes like Kunbis, Telis and Malis but comprised of all  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath - Kunbis Telis to Mang Mahars and Nomadic and ex- Criminal tribes, opined Ambedkarite laureate Yashwant Manohar. [’Prabuddha Bharat‘, 30.4.2000]

OBC Problem

It is not properly realized that the ultimate fate of  Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  depends upon what course of action the OBCs take. The Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  have already made their choice, that they do not wish to lead a life of Slavery under the Aryan Invaders. As a matter of fact, they always wished to free themselves from it one way or the other. If the present movement of Ambedkar for Deekhsha to Buddhism is sabotaged and if it fails, they would find other alternatives. It is for the OBCs to decide what they wish to do, whether to join Ambedkarite movement or to join Aryan Invaders Cult movement. That the political power in Independent democratic Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  is mostly in the hands of the OBCs, is technically speaking, true. But the real power evades them. What is the reason? There is a lot of awakening among them, these days, and everybody seems to be searching for the solution, but the real reason is elluding them. The real reason, in our opinion, is that these people are not concerned with their “Cultural Slavery” under the Aryan Invaders.

Examples of Aryan Invaders hostility towards OBCs

OBC youth in Maharashtra had demanded of the Government that certain books which had deroatory remarks about OBCs be banned. The then Govt. of Maharashtra under Sharad Pawar had declared the ban. But perhaps it was not effected. The President of Marathi Sahitya Sammelan held at Panaji (Goa) a few years back, Shri Ram Shewalkar, then criticised the Maharashtra Govt. for this decision as, he claimed, it was against the “freedom of speech”, going out of the way by speaking what was not in the written speech.

The then Chairman of the Marathi Sanskruti Mandal, a Govt. organization for promotion of literature, criticised that an OBC saint Tukdoji Maharaj, who played a great role during Independance movement, is termed as “Rashtra Sant”, and in his opinion, only a Aryan Invader saint Ramdas deserved this appellation.

Recently the word “Kunbi” was shown to have been included in a dictionary mentioned having derogatory meaning, for which the publisher had to apologise.

At all these times, OBCs had protested. Sometimes, in their caste functions, they talk of denouncing the Aryan Invaders slavery. They talk that Eklavya was deceived by Dronacharya, that killing of Shambuka was wrong. But they can not deny the grip of cultural slavery on their minds. They can not demand that the name of Dronacharya given to the highest award in Sports be withdrawn. They can not stop participating in “Ganesh Festival” started by B. G. Tilak, and which was then criticised by the Mahatma Phule’s followers in Satya Shodhak Samaj and requested a ban on it.

As a matter of fact, the relationship of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  to ‘upper’ castes in all the political parties run by Aryan Invaders, as various teams from A to E of Aryan Invaders Cult in Kanshiram’s terms, is like Ram and Hanuman, as put forward by Kancha Ilaiah, whose observation about Congress applies to all parties under Aryan Invaders Cult control:

“…The Congress was systematically moulded into being a bhadralok party. They talked about the welfare of the  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath castes, while all the state resources were cornered by the Hindus. The relationship between an ‘upper’ caste man and a Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  caste man within Congress was like that between Rama and Hanuman. It is a common knowledge that Hanuman was a South Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  who joined the imperial army of Rama to fight against the South Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath Nationalist ruler - Ravana. Hanuman worked day in and day out in the interest of ‘Ramrajya’ (an anti- Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath and anti-woman kingdom), yet his place in the administration was marginal and subservient. Similarly, all the  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath activists who joined the Congress party were given subservient places in the party hierarchy. Their main task was to mobilize the masses, and organize the ‘praise melas’ of ‘upper’ caste Congress leaders in whose name they would carry the party flag. They would organize the photographers to publicize the images of ‘upper’ caste Congress leaders. The aim of an average ‘upper’ caste Congress leader would be to mould every Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  into a trustworthy Hanuman. While Ambedkarism was creating a small force of conscious people among Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Bharath  who were trying to organize into an autonomous political force, a large number were (perhaps for the sake of fringe benefits that the Congress administration could offer, perhaps for other reasons) willing to be Hanumans. [p.58]

Kancha Ilaiah, himself an OBC, has very convincingly put forward that the process of “Sanskritisation”, i.e. elevating one’s own caste, without demolishing the framework of Chaturvarna can never end the Aryan Invaders Cult domination. Describing how various methods of Sanskritisation are futile, he observed:

“…Sanskritization process did not dilute caste identities and caste based humiliations. Many Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath  who got Sanskritized later realized that Sanskritization is no solution to Hindu barbarity. This is the why Ambedkar embraced Buddhism to build a counterculture to Hinduism, and Periyar Ramasamy Naiker attempted to establish the hegemony of Dravida culture by attacking Hindu culture and Hindu Gods.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “Why I am not a Hindu”, publ. Samaya, Calcutta, third reprint 1998, p.70]

Kancha Ilaiah, strongly advocates ‘Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharathisation ’ - signifying dignity of labour rather than of leisure and combining physical and mental knowledge as Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath do - rather than hinduization, of the civil society, state and administrative apparatus, which is the real solution to the problems of  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. He feels that only through liberation of  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath that the rest of the society, namely, the ‘upper castes’ can be liberated. And this process, which could be “very painful and tortuous” should start with addressing to the UC women, who also feel that  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath are the “others”, but are receptive to Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath questions, as they seem to prefer “divorce and remarriage” of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath to “wife-murder” policy of UCs. [p.129]

Second thing he recommends is the capture of Hindu temples by expelling Aryan Invaders, for the wealth they hold, convert them into centres of public education, taking care that the Aryan Invaders Cult god culture does not get assimilated into Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath culture. It is comparatively easier for neo-Kshatriyas to unlearn many things than baniyas and Aryan Invaders, but he warns that this anti-caste revolution may be more tortuous than the ‘proletarian cultural revolution’ in China. He avers about the NRIs that the post capitalist markets into which these NRIs are integrated did not de-caste them as is very clear from their pro-Hindutva proclamations from abroad. [Kancha, p.131]

Examples of OBC awakening

Apart from Dr. Salunkhe’s advice to OBCs, there are other indicaters of OBC awakening. A recent literary meet of “Mana” community in Maharashtra declared themselves to be of “Naaga” clan and associated themselves with the Buddhist culture, denying the Aryan Invaders’ one. The important Adivasis are already dissociating themselves from the hindutvavadis and associating with Ambedkarites, in spite of strong propaganda by BSO of converting them into “Vanavasis”. Everybody is realizing that the way of liberation is the fight against the caste and Aryan Invaders supremacy.

Ambedkar’s Efforts for Adivasis

All these people are now realizing that Dr. Ambedkar had struggled a lot for Adivasis also. We must strive for upliftment of BCs and Adivasis said Dr. Ambedkar. The purpose of keeping them in sub-clause (2) of Hindu Code Bill was to make some provision for them and Hindu Law would “apply to them only if it is proved that Hindu customs and Hindu usages are prevallent in that class”, and it will not apply to them unless “they have adopted the customs.” [W&S, vol. 14 part 2, p.886-7]

Ambedkar asked for right of Adult franchise for Adivasis, in 1928, Simon Commision Statemnt, commenting that Legislatures are the places where “social battles have to be fought, previlages have to be destroyed, and rights have to be won”. He avered that their illeteracy should not come in way of giving them right to vote, as even an illiterate is intellegent and knows his welfare. [W&S, vol.2, p.471]

Disagreeing with the Britishers’ idea of keeping the Adivasis segregated, during the evidence taken before the joint Committee on Indian Constitutional Reforms in 1933, he professed the ideal that these primitive people should not remain primitive and they should cease to be an isolated part of humanity and take part in the public affairs of this country like others. That they must not loose their lands and be landless labourers and their lands be protected from money lendes by suitable Laws. The education is more neccesary for BCs and Adivasis, more than anybody else, he said, and wanted adequate representation for them in legislature assuring the friendship of many BCs. [W&S, vol.2, p.737 ff.]

“Jati Todo Samaj Jodo”

 One thing is sure that Mayawati and Kanshiram talk of “Jati Todo Samaj Jodo“, which does not mean, as VTR seems to suggest, that they advocate consolidation of each caste. On the contrary, they say break your own caste, forget about wellbeing of only your caste and strive for making up a “Bahujan Samaj” identity, which alone can convert the minority into majority as Aryan Invaders Cult has broken the society into various castes numbering about six thousand. It should be our aim to unite these various castes into one identity of “Bahujan”. They believe that political solution is the most important method and quote Ambedkar that political power is the master key to all the ailments of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. They point out to the tremendous work that has been done in U.P. in a short span of her rule there. They have not tried to strengthen only Chamar caste, as is presumed by VTR. They have asked to strengthen all Bahujans to come together and work for common good of all Bahujans including Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. They never worked for “separate but equal” castes. Neither Dr. Ambedkar, nor Shahu, nor Phule worked on the lines mentioned by VTR. They always worked to bring all together, demolishing walls among the castes, never ever, they advocated salvation of any individual caste or that of an individual person within a caste. A well known letter by Dr. Ambedkar to a Mang youth is proof thereof.

G. P. Deshpande, Prof. Of International politics at JNU and a theater personality in Delhi advises that a caste-group is never a leader and Dr. Ambedkar never thought so either. What he identified was central contradiction in Indian society epitomised in and by the Varna and Jati system. The transformative movement that Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath needs so badly today should take note of this understanding. Ambedkar’s relevance lies precisely in this approach in building a wider social base. The present  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath movement, Deshpande comments, is yet to define itself and demonstrate that it is conscious of the whole within which it is to function, and avers that it has as much relevance for Savarnas and upper castes as it has for the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath and other classes. He concludes:

“Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, today, have to realise that it is all a question of hegemony. He also has to realise that in matters of politics and culture, he will provide leadership only if his politics is of genuine ‘jatyanta’ (end of caste). Interests of caste have to be secondary to the interests of end of caste.” [G. P. Deshpande, “The Pioneer”,  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharathMillennium Issue, 30 Jan. 2000]

Kancha Ilaiah

He laments that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath are the oldest people of the globe, and yet have no calender of their own and a largest group in the world without the own individual dates of birth. They invented through their scientific approach to production by counting seeds, birds and animals the ‘concept of zero’, which was “patented” by Bana Bhatta, an Aryan Invader. These first invaders, the Aryan Hindus, condemned the discovery of tool making, leather making, and wool weaving as Chandala processes.

The degradation of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath was achieved through two methods - danda and mantra, first ‘Danda’ i.e. violence and second ‘Mantra’ i.e. by developing the consent systems. As an example of second, he observes:

“Did not Hinduism make us do the same thing when it forced us to celebrate the birthday of Rama as Ramnavami, a dateless day, a man who killed my ancestors Tataka, Vali, Shambhuka and Ravana, and cut off the nose and earlobes of most beautiful woman of  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, Shurpanakha?  What a difference in godhood.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

“Post independent  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath has not given the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath anything except a saga of atrocities. The Hinduism that rendered this country calenderless is forcing all Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath to call themselves Hindus. I made my position very clear that “I am not a Hindu” as I cannot worship the very gods who killed my ancestors. My predicament is that of Angada, the son of Bali who was killed by Rama and while his father’s dead body lying there he was forced to worship the killer of his father, Rama. I refuse to do that.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

Describing the sufferings of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath for last two thousand years, Kancha Ilaiah describes:

“In the first millennium, the Shudras along with the Chandalas suffered all kinds of atrocities at the hands of the Hindu rulers who constructed a Swarna Yuga (golden age) of their own during political rule of Guptas. It was during this period that the scientific temper the Shudras constructed among themselves was destroyed and they were pushed into most dark period of their life. During the first millennium Manu Dharma as law and Kauttilya’s brutal state craft were brought into force and they destroyed all the creative ability of the Shudras, Chandalas and Adivasis (SCAs). Except the text ‘Mritchakatika‘ by Shudraka, all other texts including ‘Megha Sandesha’ by Kalidasa were written in the image of Brahmanical leisure- centered classes. The history of SCAs from then was rendered invisible and non-existent.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

“… By the beginning of the second millennium, Aryan Invaders, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas (AIKVs) had eaten away the vitals of Subcontinent. These three leisure and pleasure centered castes lived in celestial and spiritual luxuries and sexual orgies. During this period, the AIKVs destroyed the Buddhist ethical and productive life and also symbols of that civilization and errected erotic temples translating the sexual pleasure-centered discourse of Vatsayana’s ‘Kamasutra’ culture into sculpture at the cost of enormous labour power of the unpaid sculptors. All the sculptors came from the SCA backgrounds. Investment of wealth and labour on constructing structures like Khajuraho and Konark reflected the negative cultural mould of the ruling castes/classes. No single structure that reflected the productive culture of people was errected during the period.” [Kancha Ilaiah, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

Gail Omvedt

Today as  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath heads into new millennium, its own sixth millennium of civilization, it has no clear vision of where it is going, kind of society it wants and how it proposes to build it, she laments and emphasizes, the fervor of freedom fighters and Nehruvian socialism are gone and “Gandhian version of Hinduism is empty now”, and its modern ‘avatar‘, the environmentalists wish the revival of traditional forms of production and culture in the form of “Ram Raj”. She feels that neither Gandhism, nor socialism are more than empty terms in India, and Hindutva Nationalism alternative is itself based upon the Brahmanic version of Indian tradition. She recommends five new visions for the  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath masses of  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath:

“1. Alternative awakenment” - based on moralism, rationalism, whether religious or aesthetic or agnostic, a genuine democratic socialism can have its roots only in “Ambedkar’s Buddhism”.

“2. Alternative spirituality” - “…Even before Ambedkar chose Buddhism in 1956, it had emerged with Pandit Iyothee Thass and Tamil Buddhism; with Srilanka’s Anagarika Dharmapala, Brahmanand Reddy of Andhra and Acchutananda of Uttar Pradesh. Phule took Buddhism as an important source of ‘Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath’tradition. …”

“3. Alternative Economics” - “…Ambedkar’s economic trajectory went from conventional welfare liberal economics in twenties to endorsement of state socialism that lasted upto 1947, to a final disillusionment of Soviet model and efforts to seek alternative Buddhist economics, described variously as democratic socialism, liberal socialism, a mixed economy or simply as beyond labels. …”

“4. Alternative Nationalism” - Only Ambedkar realized the need for English to unite all Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath  in Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath. “This illustrates that real nationalism in  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath must (be) realized in the language of the people, not in the Sanskritised Hindi taught in schools or link language of cinema.”

“5. Empowerment of women” - In contrast to Aryan Invaders Cult subordination of women, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath leaders projected a vision of women as equal citizens with rights to individual fulfillment. [Gail Omvedt, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

Hindu Muslim Unity

Arvind Das, the editor of New Delhi review journal, “Biblio”, commenting on the attitude of elites, observe that any of those who demand that Christians apologize for the Inquisition or Muslims be sorry for being designated “Babur ki aulad” do not express the slightest regret for the centuries of oppression that they have practiced on the Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, and there is only a thundering silence in that respect. [Arvind Das, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan.2000]

Syed Shahabuddin, editor of Muslim India and former M.P. observes that the Draft constitution had declared Muslims and SCs as minorities and provided reservations for both. But Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel moved resolution and Muslims were denied facilities. He observes:

“… The goal of Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath Muslim unity is neither racial kinship nor religious uniformity but political unity. … Even if the forward Shudras were not included, the EBCs (the Backward backwards), SCs, STs, and Muslims alone form about 67.5 percent of the population. … a majority that lives below the poverty line. They own less than 15 per cent of national resources and have a long way to go before they become equal partners in the national enterprise - in power sharing as well as effective participation in decision making.” [Syed Shahabuddin, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

He advocates alliance of deprived, but thinks it is unrealistic to think on national level. But in MLA segments, where the strength of these people exceeds fifty percent, it can be tried. In UP BSP and in Maharashtra RPI represent Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, but there is no party of Muslims anywhere, he laments, and stresses the need for “composite leadership”. He also stresses the need of common agenda, and feels that the Aryan Invaders Cult order is on the decline, but not so Aryan Invaders Cult. He laments that every emergent class tends to be reborn as a Neo-Aryan Invaders aspiring for social domination. Those who stand for social justice cannot accept such succession and, therefore, the battle for Identity, Dignity and Equality will go on, he avers. [Syed Shahabuddin, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

Communism and Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath 

A lot has been written by Dr. Ambedkar discarding Communist idiology. Prof. T. K. Oomen at JNU, explains layers of  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath movement. There are people who concentrate on economic side and others on caste basis. But he feels that all  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath are not proletarians and a small substratum among this traditionally unprivileged class has undergone a process of elitisation. In addition, Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath consciousness is qualitatively different from proletarian or caste consciousness. Stressing the importance of cultural enlightenment, he comments that it is no accident that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath protests in  Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath first crystallized against socio- cultural oppression like untouchability, which was followed by mobilization for political enfranchisement and finally protests against economical exploitations were heard. [T. K. Oomen, “The Pioneer”, 30 Jan. 2000]

Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great Prabuddha Bharath Unity is not enough

Without in any way denigrating the efforts of those who are striving for Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath Unity, I feel, even if all the  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath, of all castes, shades and colours, unite, they cannot achieve any power without the help of other oppressed castes, as they are only about 16% or so. And if there is no power, caravan of Ambedkar will be on retrograde journey. Many non-Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath non- Aryan Invaders castes are realizing the mischief done by Caste system, they are having dialogue with Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath and uniting with them, as is seen in North Indian states. And the message is spread broad and wide and all regions of this country are awakening.

Should we not destroy our identity?

Are various leaders ready to give up their identities on argument that Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath liberation must get priority over all other demands? One does not have to give up ones identity, if we are talking at this stage of only political unity. But if we unite only politically at this stage, a time will come, when we have to unite religiously and socially also. At that time, I would like to ask these leaders, “Can they afford not to dissolve their identities?” If they did, their castes would be wiped out by the BSO. One has only to see the way these sub-castes are fighting among themselves just for crumbs, they have forgotten that their real enemy, BSO, is safe and secure in its own citadel. Even at this stage, infighting among the sub-castes is counter productive and injurious to the interest of their own caste.

Role of Jains and Osho

There are always some sporadic news items keep appearing in papers that, some youths have started a social movement to assert that Jains are not Hindus. We read that at one time Jainism was a revolutionary religion, and they had to suffer for it at the hands of BSO. K.A.N.Sastri tells us how eight thousand Jains were put to death by impalement by a Saiva King and how a festival is celebrated every year, even now, to commemorate this event in a temple at Madura. [K. Jamanadas, “Tirupati Balaji was a Buddhist Shrine” p.134]. Whether same revolutionary spirit will be revived among the Jains again, is more than I can predict.

I only know of one Jain revolutionary in modern times. He is Osho Rajnish, who said about the glass of orange juice given by Robindranath Tagore to break the fast of M. Gandhi at the conclusion of Poona Pact, “But this orange juice, this one glass of orange juice, contains millions of people’s blood!” [“Dr. Ambedkar aur Osho”, Hindi, by Sandesh Bhalekar p. 43] He had the courage to denounce Manu in no uncertain terms that if we could forget Manusmriti whole world would call us more liberal and broad minded; Manu is sitting on our chest like a big stone. [p.51] Some Ambedkarite scholars like Lokhande and Bhalekar project him as ‘in lineage of Phule, Shahu and Ambedkar’. Other equally prominent scholars like Yashwant Manohar call such projections as pollution (pradushan) in  Original Inhabitants of Jambudvipa, that is the Great PrabuddhaBharath literature. What role, if any, the followers of Osho, the world over, will play in opposing BSO in future, is a question better left alone for the future generations to work out.

Future of Buddhism in India

The struggle for destruction of Caste is the precursor of the spread of Buddhism, but need not be a precondition. Equitable distribution of land and fast implementation of Land Reforms is the need of the day. They know that this will dilute the hegemony of Aryan Invaders, and so such reforms are not implemented. With this attitude, one may contrast the honesty of the British, who knew that imparting education to lower castes will, one day, enable these people to drive away the alien rulers, but still they did not keep us ignorant. Under such circumstances we conclude this tract with the prophesy of Dr. Ambedkar about future of Indian Buddhism.

After comparing Buddhism with Hinduism, while comparing Buddhism with other non-Hindu religions, Dr. Ambedkar observes:

(i) The society must have either the sanction of law or the sanction of morality to hold it together. Without either society is sure to go pieces. He explains that in all societies law plays a very small part. It is intended to keep the minority within the range of social discipline. The majority is left and has to be left to sustain its social life by the postulates and sanction of morality. Religion in the sense of morality, must therefore, remain the governing principle in every society.

(ii) That religion as defined in the first proposition must be in accord with science. Religion is bound to lose its respect and therefore become the subject of ridicule and thereby not merely lose its force as a governing principle of life but might in course of time be disintegrated and lapse if it is not in accord with science. In other words, religion if it is to function, must be in accord with reason which is merely another name for science.

(iii) That religion as a code of social morality, must recognize the fundamental tenets of liberty, equality and fraternity. Unless a religion recognize these three fundamental principles of social life religion will be doomed.

(iv) That religion must not sanctify or ennoble poverty. Renunciation of riches by those who have it may be a blessed state. But poverty can never be. To declare poverty to be a blessed state is to pervert religion, to perpetuate vice crime, to consent to make earth a living hell.

Which religion fulfills all these requirement, he asks, emphasing that the days of the Mahatmas are gone and the world cannot have a new Religion and choice is limited to existing ones, and avers that the only religion which satisfies all these tests is Buddhism. Buddhism is the only religion which the whole world can have. The new world needs religion far more than the old world did, and it can only be religion of the Buddha. The confusion is because most of those who have written about the Buddha have propagated the idea that the only thing Buddha taught was Ahimsa. Without minimizing its importance, as it is a great doctrine and the world can not be saved unless it, he emphasized that Buddha taught many other things besides Ahimsa. He observed:

“… He taught as a part of religion, social freedom, intellectual freedom, economic freedom and political freedom. He taught equality, equality between man and man but between man and woman. It would be difficult to find a religious teacher to compare with Buddha whose teachings embrace so many aspects of the social life of a people whose doctrines are so modern and whose main concern was to give salvation to man in his life on earth and not to promise it to him in heaven after he is dead.” [Buddha and future of his religion”, p. 9]

IN FOCUS:BAHUJAN SAMAJ PARTY

Kanshi Ram: from BAMCEF to the Bahujana Samaj Party

Kanshi Ram was born in 1934 as a Raedasi Sikh, a community of Punjabi Chamars converted to Sikhism. The family had 4 or 5 acres of land, some of it inherited and the rest acquired through government allocation after Independence), a small landed background is characteristic of many Scheduled Caste legislators but remains a comparative rarity for Dalits in general. Kanshi Ram’s father was himself ’slightly’ literate, and he managed to educate all his four daughters and three sons. Kanshi Ram, the eldest, is the only graduate. He was given a reserved position in the Survey of India after completing his BSc degree, and in 1958 he transferred to the Department of Defence Production as a scientific assistant in a munitions factory in Poona. Kanshi Ram had encountered no Untouchability as a child, and overt discrimination was not a phenomenon within the educated circles of his adult life. But his outlook underwent a sudden change in 1965 when he became caught up in a struggle initiated by other Scheduled Caste employees to prevent the abolition of a holiday commemorating Dr Anibedkar’s birthday.’4 During this conflict Kanshi Ram encountered a depth of high-caste prejudice and hostility towards Dalits that was a revelation to him. His almost instant radicalisation was completed soon after by a reading of Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste: he read the book three times in one night, going entirely without sleep.
