Oppression of dalits should stop

POSTED ON OCTOBER 13, 2022

Crimes against Scheduled Castes at the national level were 42,793 in 2018, which increased to more than 50 thousand in the year 2020. All this has become so normal that no one is surprised, nor is there an outcry when these events progress.

Attacking Brahmins, Thakurs and Hindu faith for atrocities on Dalits has been a popular narrative from Bollywood to Lahore films. How the then East Pakistan Dalit leader Jagannath Mandal was thrown by the Muslim League to break the Hindu society as an excuse for the Dalits before independence, never became a part of the main Dalit dialogue,

Rather, the Dalit Muslim Federation was activated with Haji Mastan and Yusuf Khan (Dilip Kumar). British historians made history keeping in mind the interests of their empire, and the post-independence leftist movement made Dalits an instrument of attack on the Hindu right.

How unbeknownst to this historical conspiracy Hindu casteists are becoming partners and aides in the efforts to break their own religious society, it is evident from the attacks on Hindu Scheduled Castes in different provinces. If the ritualistic Hindu remains in self-delusion in the reverberation of aartis and bells, in the false and hypocritical arrogance of caste remains insensitive to the anguish of his own religious brethren, then if God also incarnates, then Hindus will reach the pinnacle of upliftment. will become more difficult.

In August, a Dalit child died in Jalore after a teacher was beaten up. Preliminary details said that he drank water from a pitcher meant for the alleged upper castes. The family members of the child kept crying, but the media started saving the Rajasthan government. As if no one actually kills the Dalit, either they die themselves or they plot their premature death to defame the so-called upper castes! According to the National Crime Records Bureau data, there were more than seven thousand incidents against scheduled castes in Rajasthan alone in 2020.

This is purely an internal matter of Hinduism. But it is not seen that any Hindu organization, Mahatma, Saint or leader has raised voice against these incidents. Crimes against Scheduled Castes at the national level were 42,793 in 2018, which increased to more than 50 thousand in the year 2020.

All this has become so normal that no one is surprised, nor is there an outcry when these events progress. On May 20, 2016, the alleged upper castes pelted stones at us in the ‘crime’ of transporting some Dalits to a temple in Uttarakhand. I had gone out with Dalits to enter the temple. Thought that we would explain together, but they came down on killing us. I only told him this – as long as I am a Hindu, then only you can throw stones.

When someone will erect a tomb in front of your temple, neither you nor your government will be able to tell him anything. In fact, upper castes should not be said to those who are proud of their caste being higher. The upper castes and worshipers of Hindu society are those Dalits, who did not leave the name of Ram even after suffering centuries of caste discrimination. This is not understood by those who cannot see Dalit Hindu in their locality riding a horse in their procession.

After Savarkar, Balasaheb Deoras, Mohan Bhagwat has said that Hindus should have a cremation ground, a well and a temple everywhere. It is the duty of every Hindu to ensure this. Tamil Nadu is my second home and more affectionate region than Uttarakhand. Even today the ‘two glass system’ runs there.

Against this, Baba people, who call the wealthy and politicians by spending crores of rupees on Shivratri and Diwali, do not speak. How Shiva, how Oghad Dani, how the person who touched the feet of Chandal, would have made ‘nectar-like’ speeches on the life of Adi Shankara, when they do not mind sharing the immense pain of their own blood brothers, Dharma brothers!

Take your discourses and books to that girl from Almora, whose name is Geeta. His family was from Rajput caste. She married Jagdish, who was from Scheduled Caste. Geeta’s father did not accept this. Geeta had reported to the police a month back with full details, but the police did nothing. Jagdish was killed by Geeta’s father. Shouldn’t Hindu saints speak on such incidents?

Dr. Ambedkar was pressurized to accept Islam or Christianity, but he saved the country and Hinduism by adopting Buddhism. He had introduced his strong nationality by writing the book ‘That’s on Pakistan’. We can never be indebted to Ambedkar. The matrimonial advertisements in the newspapers show that we have not reformed, nor have we ever felt the need to read Ambedkar’s speech, especially the one he delivered in Nagpur on October 14, 1956.
