RELIGION USED AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR SOCIAL EXPLOITATION AND UPHEAVAL

RELIGION USED AS AN INSTRUMENT FOR SOCIAL EXPLOITATION AND UPHEAVAL …..?

Even though they play a complementary role Religion and spirituality are different from each other. Spirituality is common to all religions. Religion comprises spiritual truths. Religious Fanaticism, on the contrary is opposed to spiritual truth. Religious fanatics shall not be able to comprehend - this truth. Fanaticism is hostile to spiritual truths. Thus, Spiritual truth, Religion, Fanaticism are different from each other.

Religions are like different tanks, holding water which are fed by the river. There are claims, counter-claims, controversies, disputes, conflicts and riots over the rights over the tanks. These are all the outcome of their locations, their backgrounds, the periods and the group of people who claim the rights over the tanks.

Yet, those who stand above these controversies and watchfully survey the course of the river could understand the unity and integrity in the midst of these isolated tanks. The course of the river its depth and the quality and utility of water would make them realize this fact. This understanding only is Spiritualism.

Spiritualism - Religion

When spiritualism gets mixed up with politics it gives birth to religion. The religionists are politicising in the guise of spiritualism, instigate religious fanaticism, and divide people. The Buddha, Mahavir, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed were only spiritual leaders and not religious leaders. They were persecuted by the religionists. Religionists also murdered Jesus Christ.

Religion and Spirituality in India:

India is a land of great Spiritual Heritage; some even describe it as a sacred land. It is rightly so for India is the birthplace of prominent religions of the world such as Buddhism, Jainism, Hindu religion (Saivism and Vaishnavism) and Sikhism. The people of India have been spiritually oriented from ancient times. Indians were living as the children of one mother and there were no segregation amongst them. In the medieval period the concept of racial discrimination, infiltrated amongst them, in the guise of religion ('Hinduism') and the religionists blemished the spirituality of India.

Dravidians were made to believe that it is their pre-destined duty (dharma) to be 'oppressed' and to remain 'backward' as it is the Hindutva 'way of life'.

Study of casteism reveals the major role played by religion in maintaining casteism in the society. Though the native Dravidians form 90% of Indian population and though they originated major religions and philosophies, the way they were enslaved to the Brahmins who do not even form 4% of Indian population and who had no religion on their own, is to be deeply analyzed. A careful analysis on this issue shows the six stages of enslaving a society or an ethnic group and imposing racial discriminating principles on an ethnic group by utilizing philosophy and religion. These six stages are given as follows:
· Four Stages of Slavery:

First stage - Ethnic Groups

Society living as ethnic groups all over the world.

Second stage - Political Power

Amongst the ethnic groups political power emerges - petty rulers.

Third Stage: - Control over other ethnic group

When one ethnic group defeated and won the other ethnic group it started controlling the defeated ethnic group.

Fourth Stage: - Slavery:

The conquering ethnic group starts enslaving the vanquished ethnic group and rules over them. When the defeated ethnic group regains political power, it starts enslaving the other ethnic group. Thus slavery is perpetuated.

These Four stages occur all over the world through the ages.

POLITICAL POWER ALONE IS THE ROOT CAUSE FOR SLAVERY.

OFFSHOOT OF SLAVERY IS RACISM.

Fifth Stage : Racism

When a ruling ethnic group wants permanently to maintain slavery over another ethnic group once defeated by them, forms a new philosophy to justify enslavement. In this manner Racism emerges as a philosophy. Biological factors, genes, skin pigmentation, colour differentiation and similar factors… are focused and described as various criteria to justify racism.

POLITICAL POWER AND PHILOSOPHY JUSTIFYING ENSLAVEMENT ARE ROOT CAUSES FOR RACISM. Also it should be noted that Political power and a philosophy justifying enslavement are based on external factors. It has nothing to do with internal religious beliefs.

OFFSHOOT OF RACISM IS CASTEISM .

Sixth Stage: Casteism

If the ruling ethnic group is a minority and the enslaved ethnic group is a majority, it is natural for the ruling minority to have a fear about the majority group that they would unite together and dethrone the minority at any opportune time. Therefore the ruling minority group is forced to keep the majority weak by fragmenting them into so many divisions and making the divisions to hate and degrade each other. In India this has been achieved by introducing a graded group system called caste system.

For the majority to be fragmented into so many divisions and making them to hate, degrade and fight against each other, the religious beliefs of the majority have been utilized. For this, the minority has twisted and misinterpreted the religious beliefs of the majority according to the selfish designs of the minority-ruling group.

It would be of interest to note that this can be done only in respect of a nation where the ruling minority has no religion of its own and the majority ruled by them has their own religions. If the ruling minority has a religion of its own, it would not opt to follow the religions of the majority and manipulate it according to the interest of the ruling minority.

THUS
POLITICAL POWER, PHILOSOPHIES JUSTIFYING ENSLAVEMENT AND
RELIGIOUS SANCTION BY TWISTED RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ARE MAINTAINING CASTEISM.

· Root cause for Slavery - Political power
· Root cause for Racism - Political Power + Philosophy justifying enslavement
· Root cause for Casteism - Political Power + Philosophy justifying enslavement +
Religious sanction by manipulated religious beliefs.
· Casteism in the name of philosophy, and through twisted religious beliefs:

Religion - an insturment

To justify casteism, created and enforced by the Aryan Brahmins, and placing the Dravidians below them, they used the Dravidian philosophy of Cycle of Birth and Monotheism by twisting them to suit to their interpretation.

It is Adi Sankara who gave his twisted interpretation to the Dravidian religious books. This twisted interpretation is called the Advaita philosophy. There is no original and independent book for the Advaita philosophy. It is Advaita philosophy, which has converted the occupational hierarchy of a class structure into a caste system with religious sanctions. The term 'Brahmin' explains this transition.

In all societies there are priests. In the same manner in the Aryan society also there were priests. The Advaita philosophy created a new title 'Brahmin' to the priests of Aryans. This word 'Brahmin' was derived from 'Brahma' or 'Brahman' which means God i.e., Son of God (Son of Siva and Vishnu). Brahma happens to be one of the three names of the Triune-Gods of the Dravidian Six - fold religion, namely Siva, Vishnu and Brahma. Those who glorify Siva are Saivites. Those who glorify Vishnu are Vaishnavites. Those who glorify Brahma are Brahmans. In the Aryan Vedas there is no God in the name of Brahma.

Thus the Aryan Priests have appropriated the Dravidian God's name, Brahma, and used the Advaita philosophy to convert the priesthood that belonged to the occupational system into Caste System. They used the term, 'Brahmin' deriving its sanctions from the Dravidian religions.
Thus came caste system. To perpetuate this caste system the Aryans concocted the story that, Brahmin was born from the head of Brahma, the Kshatriya from shoulder, Vaishya from the thigh, and the Sudra from the foot. For Panchama no place of origin has been told in the story. These stories have been interpolated in the religions and the religious literature of the Dravidians and thus casteism has been sanctified and perpetuated.

Thus the Indians have been enslaved through the religion named 'Hinduism.'
The Supreme Court of India recently pronounced a judgement that "Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life". What is this way of life?

This way of life is accepting the white alien Aryans who came to India for livelihood, as superio by birth and is also accepting that the three powers namely, religious (Brahmins), political (Kshatriyas) and the economical powers (Vaishyas) are the birth right of the three classes of the Aryans. This way of life codifies that the Indians (Dravidians) who gave livelihood to the foreigners who came to India, have to live as slaves (Sudras) if they accept the supremacy of the Aryan domination, whereas, they have to remain as untouchables (Panchamas) if they oppose the supremacy of the Aryan domination. It should be observed that the Sudras and Panchamas form 90% of the Indian population. This is `the way of life' or Dharma or duties defined by Hinduism.
In the politically liberated India the Indians have lost their free thinking power and are in the blindfold of religious belief without knowing that they have been demoralized and annihilated in the name of religion.

If we ask a citizen of India, 'Are you the slave of the Brahmins who are the leaders of Aryan race?', he would immediately answer 'no', since his thinking power is totally clouded under the name of religion, and he is not in a position to realize his state.

One's actions and thoughts are based on one's thinking ability;
One's thoughts are based on one's beliefs (faith);
One's beliefs are based on one's principles, and
One's principles are based on one's religion.

Religion - an instument:

History of religions reveal that very often religions are utilized to exploit the society through the ages in one way or the other. This paper deals mainly with Hindu Religion as this happens to be known as the major religion of India.

By deceitfully utilizing the beliefs and the principles of Indian Religions, the thoughts of the Indians are being driven to serfhood by the Aryans Brahmins.

THE INCIDENTS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION IN THE POLITICALLY LIBERATED INDIA (E.G., GUJARAT INCIDENT, AYODHYA ISSUE, MASSACRE , RAPE, RIOTS, ETC.,, WHICH ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE NAME OF RELIGION IN VARIOUS PLACES OF POLITICALLY LIBERATED INDIA) EXPOSE THEIR DECEITS.

INDIANS ARE STRATIFIED INTO FOUR DIVISIONS:-

1. FORWARD CASTES.
2. BACKWARD CASTES.
3. SCHEDULED CASTES &TRIBES AND
4. RELIGIOUS MINORITIES

WHO SUFFERS DUE TO CASTE CLASHES?

It is a common phenomenon that the members of Backward Castes and Scheduled Castes & Tribes are engineered to clash with one another. Thus they suffer and get themselves mutually destroyed.

During religious conflicts the Backwards & Scheduled Castes combine and stand on one side, the Religious Minorities stand on another side, and fight against each other and all the three groups suffer.

Another pathetic phenomenon noticed among the Christian Minorities is that they still cling on to casteism. They are, thus, made to suffer in a dual way: they get destroyed during the caste-clashes in the name of their castes as well as during the religious - clashes in the name of their religion.

WHO DO NOT SUFFER DUE TO CASTE AND RELIGIOUS CLASHES?
ANOTHER INTRIGUING PHENOMENON NOTICED IS THAT THE FORWARD CASTE PEOPLE NEVER UNDERGO ANY LOSSES OR AGONIES DURING THE CASTE CLASHES OR RELIGIOUS CLASHES.
TO CURE A DISEASE, WE SHOULD DIAGNOSE THE ROOT CAUSES OF IT. A DISEASE CANNOT BE CURED IF THE CAUSE OF IT IS NOT PROPERLY DIAGNOSED.

WE HAVE NOTED THAT THE MOST AFFECTED PEOPLE OF THE CASTE AND RELIGIOUS CLASHES ARE :-

(I) BACKWARD CASTES
(II) SUPPRESSED CASTES, (SCHEDULED CASTES & TRIBES) AND
(III) RELIGIOUS MINORITIES,

NOT THE FORWARD CASTES.

THEREFORE, WE SHOULD INVESTIGATE AS TO WHY THE 'FORWARD COMMUNITIES' ARE NOT AFFECTED IN ANYWAY DURING THE CASTE/RELIGIOUS CLASHES.
THE 'FORWARDS':

The term 'Forwards' itself is indicative of their progress and advancement in life. If we pose a question as to how the 'Forward Castes' did emerge, we find an answer from the terms such as 'oppressed Castes', 'Backward Castes' etc. A historic fact is thus brought to light that the Forward Caste people could make their progress only at the cost of other communities by pushing them backward and suppressing others.

It is one thing if one group remained backward because of their own faults, and it is entirely another thing if that group remains backward because of others pushing them backward and suppressing them.

The progress and advancement of the 'Forward Castes' was not due to their efforts through righteous means. What we have to understand from this is that the progress achieved by the so called 'Forwards' is not on account of their genuine efforts but by pushing others down. It becomes clear that they suppressed others by deceptive means and only thus they came to the forefront.

REAL INDIANS:

TODAY, THE REAL INDIANS ARE KNOWN AS THE SO-CALLED 'BACKWARD CASTES', 'SCHEDULED CASTES & TRIBES' AND MOST OF THE 'RELIGIOUS MINORITIES'. IT IS WORTHWHILE TO NOTE HERE THAT THESE THREE GROUPS BELONG TO A PARTICULAR RACE. IN INDIAN HISTORY, HISTORIANS CLASSIFY THESE PEOPLE AS 'DRAVIDANS'.
IT IS THE DRAVIDIANS WHO NAMED THE ALIENS WHO CAME FROM OUTSIDE INDIA AS 'ARYANS'.

TRAINED TO CLASH WITH EACH OTHER :

To keep the Dravidians permanently divided, they have been stratified into a graded caste system. It has become an artificially created mental condition. This graded caste system makes each caste group to fight against the other, keeping the division perpetual.
Dravidians have been meticulously administered in such a way that they do not cast off their 'caste names' which divides them on lines of caste.

At the same time, all possible manipulations have been going on to keep the 'Dravidian-race' factor away from the memory of Indian society, which is a historic factor potentially capable of uniting the people. Even after they know that they are Dravidians, they are instigated to disrespect and insult the term Dravidian. It becomes necessary to educate Dravidians that their race is most ancient with historic greatness and it is not inferior to any.

PLANNED DESTRUCTION:

Facing such oppositions, if any Dravidian Movement takes shape and seeks to establish its identity, Aryan Brahmins will infiltrate into them in a planned way and sabotage its progress from within and destroy it. Accordingly the Brahmins always engineer clashes from within and without among:-

· Dravidian Backward Castes
· Dravidian Scheduled Castes & Tribes and
· Dravidian Religious Minorities.

THESE ARE WHAT IS KNOWN AS CASTE CLASHES AND RELIGIOUS CLASHES OF INDIA.
IN ADDITION TO CASTE CLASHES AMONG DRAVIDIANS, SHOULD THERE BE RELIGIOUS CLASHES ALSO?

As was mentioned earlier, Dravidian population was made to believe that it is their pre-destined duty (dharma) to be 'oppressed' and to remain 'backward' as it is the Hindutva 'way of life'.
If any other religion or any other philosophy will teach Dravidians that all humans are born from the same first parents and hence there is no disparity of status by birth, such teachings and such religions are treated as opposed to 'Hindutva'. It is because of the above factors caste-clashes and religious clashes errupt among 'Dravidan Indians'.

THE TWO SECRET CIRCULARS OF R.S.S. AND THE BRAHMIN SAMAJ OF MADHYA PRADESH, WHICH ARE APPENDED HEREWITH, ARE THE EXAMPLES OF THEIR PLOTS WHICH ARE GOING ON TILL DATE IN THE POLITICALLY LIBERATED INDIA.

THUS, IT IS EVIDENT THAT, IN THE NAME OF 'HINDUTVA' OR VARNASHRAMA DHARMA, I.E., 'WAY OF LIFE' , IT IS THE ARYAN BRAHMINS, WHO CREATE CASTE AND RELIGIOUS CLASHES. TO ILLUSTRATE THIS, COPY OF THE SECRET CIRCULAR ISSUED BY THE ARYAN BRAHMIN SAMAJ OF BALAGHAT (MADHYA PRADESH) AND THE R.S.S.TO ENGINEER CASTE AND RELIGIOUS CLASHES AMONG, THE DRAVIDANS AND AS PUBLISHED IN INDIAN NEWS PAPERS IS REPRODUCED BELOW :-

SECRET CIRCULAR OF "BRAHMIN SAMAJ" OF BALAGHAT (M.P.) BALAGHAT
JAI-SHRIRAM,

DATED : 15TH AUGUST, 94

Dear friends,

A district-level meeting of Brahmin Samaj was held at Balaghat on 15th August. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Trivedi, an ideal saint of Jabalpur. The following resolutions were passed in the meeting.

1. Shudra communities means Backward Class like Pawar, Marar, Lodhi, Kasar etc. should be kept involved in the religious affairs so that their attention be kept away from political rights and they always remain slaves and supporters of Brahminism.
2. The political consciousness that has developed among the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Class and Religious Minorities has threatened the leadership of Brahminism. Hence, such a confusion and conflict be created in them, that they keep on fitghting among themselve
3. We must go to the people of fourth Varna, Shudras and tell them that the constitution is against Hindus and it must be changed. This awakening must be created and spread in the masses.
4. Everybody in Brahmin Caste, of any political party like Congress, BJP, Communist and any organisation, social-religious, must gather under one banner to save Brahminism, because the leadership of Brahminism is in danger.
5. Wrong confusion must be spread among Pawars, Marars, Lodhis (backward classes), Scheduled Castes/tribes and religious minorities (Muslims/Christians/Buddhists) due to which they must fight and kill each other.
6. Because of the politics of Bahujan Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) and consciousness of Dalits, the leadership of Brahminism is threatened. To oppose this, we must tell the people that this is the party of Mahars and Chamars only, so that other smaller castes do not join.
7. The employees of Scheduled Castes/Tribes, backward class and muslims have developed fat in their bodies. Hence they should be physically and mentally tortured and they must be humiliated by paper actions and their work must be carried out by the Brahmin Officers who are occupying high posts, in a secret manner.
8. The Officers of Brahmin community, who are holding higher posts should spread confusion among the unemployed youths of low castes that only Scheduled Castes and Tribes people are taking advantage of reservation, and posts meant for you are being given to them only, so that they keep on fighting among themselves.
9. If Brahmin community does not come on one platform to protect themselves and protect brahminism, this will be the matter of great shame and death for them and they will become the slaves of untouchable castes. Therefore to keep them slaves, we must adopt every tactics to protect Brahmins and to retain leadership of the country.
10. The backward classes should be kept in forefront, by giving the slogan of Jai-Shriram to use them as shield (source) to protect Brahmins and they should be kept confused by religious acts like Gayatri Yagya, Brahmakumari Institution, Satya Sai of Shirdi and the Buddhists should be confused by Shiva-Patra.
11. If Ambedkarism grows in the country, Gandhism means Brahminism will be finished. Nobody will be there to take the name of Dr. Hegdewar, Golwalkar Guruji, the great men of R.S.S. Hence we must infiltrate in their every organisation and get information secretly, to defeat their every plan.
12. If the Brahminism is to be kept alive, then we must raise religious emotions and sentiments among the youths of backward classes, to keep them confused and create communal conflicts/riots with the youths of Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, so that the children of Brahmins retain their domination, in the Government administration and politics.
13. To save Brahminism, the ladies of Brahmins should come forward and it is necessary that Brahmin ladies should sacrifice, to protect Brahminism. If one lady comes forward to protect Brahmin, they will get 'Punya' on the basis of Manusmriti.

Friends, the whole thing must be implemented secretly. This letter should not reach in the hands of lower castes. It is a secret letter.
