Revival of Manusmrithi Based Governance: Mechanics of the Organized Death of Indian Democracy

Hello World,

It is about time we recognized what kind of governance is presiding over India since 2014.

The government under Modi is what can be called Manusmrithi Based Governance.

In most circumstances, this will be denied. However, this is the fact. 

Here’s how it is:

Right wing thinkers of the past (we are talking in decades into the past) have successfully convinced their supporters that Manusmrithi is the culture we need and it got corrupted over time and it needs to be installed in a revised format.

We all know that manusmrithi is the root cause of so much social evil we have today including the caste system. Modi supporters will quickly jump the gun and say it is not. Well, the fact is that the top-most varna and the top-most caste are both Brahman! You do the math.

The right wing thinkers have devised a new way of implementing manusmrithi and here’s how they see it:

The one who gets education must not have control of the government and that of wealth. The one who gets the control of government must not have education and wealth. The one who gets wealth must not get education and control in government. The one who does not get all the three must serve the remaining 3 groups. The one who must get education is Brahman. The one who must get wealth is vaisya. The one who must control government is Kshatriya. The one serving these three is Sudra.

This nonsense is being implemented in India as we speak.

Look up NEET exam, rising fees in educational institutions and the increasing restrictions for scholarships across the universities. This is to make sure NOT ALL ARE EDUCATED AND THE ONES DESERVING EDUCATION ALONE GET IT.

Here are some instances to support:

Look up the budget documents, especially the government funding/investments into Non-Banking Financial Corporations and private banks in general. Government has been pumping money into lesser know mostly west/north-west based banking institutions [read vaisya groups] and the cost of finance [interest rates] have been going up. Notice that the eligibility for benefits and relaxations in loan interest rates ensure only a fraction of the population are eligible for loans be it for home or car. This is to make sure NOT ALL GET ACCESS TO WEALTH/MONEY EXCEPT THE ONES DESERVING THE SAME BY VIRTUE OF THEIR BIRTH.

Here's an instance to notice:

Look up caste based political strategies where the current government is partnering with regional political groups and you will notice that their first choice of political partners, members, allies are caste groups which claim to be WARRIOR CLANS [read kshatriya]. Look up which caste groups they choose as regional/local party leadership roles and you will see the castes which claim superiority in the region by the nature of their ancestors being kings and warriors or their advisers. This is to make sure NOT ALL GROUPS OF CITIZENS HAVE A REPRESENTATION IN THE GOVERNMENT EXCEPT THOSE WHO, BY BIRTH, ARE WARRIOR CLANS OR RELATED TO RULING DYNASTIES.

Here are some instances to notice:

Look up how benefits for minorities are either cancelled, reduced or restricted since 2014. For example the educational scholarships for dalits [refer to the entire sc/st/obc/bc/mbc sections and the story remains the same] have been reduced or restricted. Look up how many minorities are included in the government’s line up of officers/ministers/bureaucrats and you will notice that minorities are either completely absent or in the single digits to show a mere presence. Look up who are denied access to public wells, public schools, public medical camps and you will see a trend of minorities being banned out of social/government institutions. Also look up the cases of reservation being denied deliberately for minorities against the constitution. This is to ensure NOT ALL MINORITIES GET ACCESS TO EDUCATION/WEALTH/GOVERNMENT SO THEY REMAIN IN A POSITION OF DEPENDENCY OWING TO WHICH THEY HAVE TO OFFER THEIR SUBSERVIENCE TO THE OTHER 3 GROUPS FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

Please do not believe anything I write here without you personally verifying it. You need to look up multiple news items and search for specific information. Once you are done, look up RSS archives and read what the senior right wing thinkers have spoken many decades ago. You will need to consciously piece together what you see happening since 2014 along with what was said many years ago in RSS camps/meetings/propaganda.

When you do this exercise, you will see that the government under the control of Modi Gang is implementing a Manusmrithi-based-design irrespective of its consequences as they believe it is their god’s word and it represents their ONE COUNTRY-ONE RELIGION-ONE CULTURE-ONE CODE philosophy. For them hindu is a nationality and people practicing other religions are also hindus by nationality. A Indian christian to them is a Hindu Christian and so on!

This might sound ridiculous if you are reading this for the first time but I would humbly request you to read RSS archives. Read what the right wing thinkers had to say and think how much brain damage is behind the government since 2014!

If such is the state of the government, irrespective of who runs it, the country will have 60% of population reeling under poverty and going to sleep without food every day. Why do you think is the MSME sector not able to access loans? Why do you think is the auto industry crashing? Why do you think the unemployment is rising?

All these troubles are not because the government is anti-people. It is because the government is Pro-Manusmrithi. The goverment being ANTI-PEOPLE is a mere consequence but the government being PRO-MANUSMRITHI is the real causation!!

Read the RSS archives and you will see how they have justified this nonsense. One explanation says when the population was small, evaluating everyone by GUNA was simple and as the population grew, it became difficult and so the simpler way of classifying humans BY BIRTH [in the family of someone who already got classified as per guna] became a consequence. Indirectly, the right wing fools have been declaring that the caste system and the discrimination are nothing but an OBVIOUS BUT INSIGNIFICANT SIDE-EFFECT OF WRONGLY INTERPRETING THE MANUSMRITHI!!!!

For those who do not have the patience, here are small instances of rss idiocracy:

This nation is under the clutches of the fools who believe in such hindutva nonsense. This nation therefore is supposed to suffer like it is doing right now!

The question: AT WHAT POINT DO WE ADMIT?

So, summing up, we shouldn’t be surprised that our fellow citizens are dying out of hunger and poverty. The damage is comprehensive, diverse and growing as we speak. It involves both loss of life and property.

It is a case of the revival of Manusmrithi based governance in India and this is how our democracy is progressing with its slow and organised death.

The Keezhadi Excavations: Is the Tamil Population Facing a Cultural Genocide?

Hello World,

Image Source: https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/70xbup/article29461582.ece/ALTERNATES/LANDSCAPE_1200/20THKEEZHADI02

This question is a big red alert to me! 

Here’s why:

This questions seems to be a consequence of the current right wing efforts to rewrite history to make sure their ‘creations’ get an ‘ancient’ image in the minds of the general population. The primary purpose is to expand the right wing propaganda using such a re-written history and eventually fool people into believing incorrect information that will further divide the masses especially on religious basis.

However, I wish to indicate my concern in a different direction also with respect to this question where I see the right wing trying to establish a ‘competitive co-existence’ of hindutva identities along with every culture’s original identities. It doesn’t matter if you speak Tamil or Kashmiri. The current right wing effort wants to place a fictional character representing hindutva within your history to make sure you agree that hindutva is the original old culture. The fact is we are mix of many old cultures with none having to do anything even remotely with hindutva or the associated fake news.

When I read that those in charge of Keezhadi research are sending samples to Pune and are collaborating with their Pune based archaeology/history ‘experts’ I am afraid they are being gamed into interacting with the Deccan College gang that claims they have genome sequence that says hindus are original inhabitants and that they did not migrate from elsewhere [essentially saving the Aryan’s their face from the ‘foreigner’ tag].

If I am not wrong, the Keezhadi research is carefully being funneled into the right wing efforts such that the output of the Keezhadi research says North Indian races existed before Tamil race and that Tamil race might have also evolved from the North or Non-Tamil race [I have no clue to what extent they will drag this fantasy].

The first step they attempted was to create the mental demand for clarity in Keezhadi research where deliberate restrictions on the research was placed which blew up on media raising the concerns of many, especially the Tamil population. The Tamil population is concerned that they will not get a fair opportunity to better understand their history which for some reason hardly ever gets a coverage in our history books.

The next step is underway where those involved in Keezhadi research are collaborating with those who wish to ‘re-write’ the history to establish the Aryans are not from other lands but the senior race of India. Since the samples are sent outside Tamilnadu and the researchers are forced to interact and collaborate with a specific group of researchers controlled by the government, the output will be carefully scrutinized to make sure the version of Tamil history that comes out does not corroborate or substantiate the Aryan invasion/migration conclusions that are already with us, as proved by many reliable historians many decades ago.

The final step will be the publication of the findings where the Aryan races or the ‘superior’ races representing the hindutva ideology will be documented as co-existent with the Tamil culture. I am suspecting they use the Bhakti movement part of the history to show the Aryan/superior races engaged with Tamils during the Bhakti movement [or any such interaction dating back] where Tamils and the hindutva identities co-existed.

All this, right now, seems convoluted and to be fair, a bit confusing. However, when I remove the titles, segmentation, semantics and classifications, what I see is this:

The Keezhadi research is being gamed to establish a credible research output which does include hidutva identities along with Tamil identities such that if Tamils deny it, then they are denying their own existence and to salvage their own Tamil pride, they will silently agree with hindutva history co-existing with their own. The catch is: If Tamils deny any part of Keezhadi, they are insulting their own culture and the only option is to accept the Keezhadi research when it comes out with statements claiming the Aryans were indeed the senior-most races much elder/superior to Tamils and that there was a healthy interaction between Tamil and the ancient hindu culture.

All such statements, should they make it through the Keezhadi research, are fake news.

Please watch two linguistics experts discussing the history and sanskrit and Tamil and the related history of the same and you will see the evidence discussed in detail:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0o0f1k65vY

There are Tamil literature that dates back much behind the times of Ramayana/Mahabharata/Hindu-shastra. here is another such discussion between linguistic experts who discuss Thirukural:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XIH40W6Jls

Overall, my view is that the hindutva based right wing propaganda is slowly hijacking the Keezhadi research to carefully place their identities in the Tamil history to fool the Tamil population which might exist say 100 years from now into believing that Tamils had Aryan races and hindutva culture as senior and superior to their own Tamil culture. This will have dangerous consequences should it materialize that way.

The fact is that Tamil populations existed well before the hindutva/hindu-shastra fantasies were even conceptualized. Sanskrit is a literary dialect developed to support the monarchs’ efforts to establish a reliable governance with the motive of enabling their families in the position of power and privilege. Nothing less, nothing more.

Please look up all news items about Keezhadi and think about the sequence of events and how Tamil history is being researched and governed by everyone while not letting Tamils handle it by themselves. I do not want to tarnish the integrity of all researchers but I have a sense of fear that there exist a select group of non-Tamil researchers who wish to re-write the Tamil history and remove the ‘old’ tag from Tamil culture so their political hindutva colleagues make inroads into Tamilnadu and ransack the remainder of the Tamil culture, or in other words, my culture. I, as a Tamilian, acknowledge that our country has a mix of diverse cultures and we need to collaborate and co-exist but the rise in right wing propaganda seems to saffronize all of us to establish ‘one culture’ which is invalid, incorrect and inhuman in every sense. I do not look down on any culture but I refuse to accept the idea of my history being distorted to render someone else’s fake history as real. Tamil culture existed before the religions were created and there is ample evidence in our literature to support that. The two videos are tips of those ice bergs.

Keezhadi excavations and related research can and will add to the existing findings but this is not the first time that Tamil history is getting a clearance or certification. Tamil population has so much literature which has been teaching the real Tamil history all along. Yes, Keezhadi is interesting but Keezhadi is not the first time or the first evidence. 

I would like to conclude that the Keezhadi research has already established a bit of evidence substantiating existing research findings about the Tamil culture and its history but I am afraid the final output might have some carefully misguided statements which might force everyone to undermine the Tamil culture by falsely placing the hindutva ideology intermingled with the Tamil history. Tamil culture has nothing to do with hindutva but the Keezhadi research output might be misrepresented on purpose to include hindutva as part of the Tamil culture.

I am afraid my culture, history and existence will be reduced to a few fake debunking stunts just so one group can raise their political capital using re-written and misrepresented history. I am afraid Tamils are at the risk of a cultural genocide apart from the economic genocide which is ongoing since mid 2014.

I am Tamil and and I have nothing to do with anything even remotely hindutva. Tamil culture existed much before the concept of hindutva was created for political objectives of the monarchs of that time.

MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT TAMILNADU POLITICS: IMPACT OF IGNORING LOGIC AND REASON

Hello World,

Image source: https://simplicity.in/vdfdhfv78lmdsvmg5todlsh4jffgskjb2947qnt/images/news/17Tirukkural.jpg

There is so much disruptions happening in Tamilnadu politics and it is about time, we start making efforts to make sure our opinions are based on some reason that does not defy logic or let's say, fundamental physics. (one may add history/civics/geography if he or she wishes to)

People of Tamilnadu are being forced to believe half-truths, incorrect information and outright lies. Such an effort has already driven the Tamil population to succumb to misconceptions related to Tamilnadu politics. 

In this post, I am making an attempt to sort it out with the little I understand on the topic. Again, I will never say, I am absolutely right. However, I wish to humbly ask, if this is not right, what else is? I would appreciate a counter with reason built on facts that are open towards verification/testing. Faith for instance is more fantasy than fact. 

We might as well get started.

I think the biggest misconception lies in the fact that arguments are built over premises that are essentially fake and the entire audience is driven to build the counter argument.

For example, sangam era Tamil literature up to Thirukural does not use the term god [as in kadavul], religion [as in madham] and caste [as in jathi]. It is after those times religions came to this land and the rest is history.

The history however exists in many versions and each version has an ulterior motive not necessarily positive and honest in any sense.

For example, one such popular opinion says Bhakti movement started in Tamilnadu and therefore Tamilnadu is a bastion of hindu culture.

The FACT is in plain sight and still the audience fails to recognize it! The popular opinion says Bhakti movement originated in Tamilnadu and not Tamilnadu originated from Bhakti movement!!!!

Read the previous statement one more time please!!!

Tamilians [as in Tamilargal] were here and the religions came to them!!! That is the fact. Please do not believe me blindly. Please watch the discussion below where two linguistic experts discuss Thirukural and what it prescribes as the essentials of an ideal society:

Now, the whole set of religions came and incorporated themselves into the Tamil culture. Fast forward to the present and there is a whole universe of opinions and arguments as to which religion is primary for Tamilians and which are Tamil gods and so on. Everyone is busy building arguments, however fact based, on a premise that is essentially FAKE NEWS!!!

This is the biggest misconception in Indian and Tamilnadu politics right now!! The above example is pointing at faith systems and the connection to Tamilnadu politics is through the right wing view which is trying to promote hindu culture as the entire nation’s unilateral culture!!! Anything understood or believed in this regard within the scope of Tamilnadu politics are HUGE MISCONCEPTIONS which need to be avoided.

The other important and often ignored misconception about Tamilnadu politics is the interpretation of the way Tamilnadu politics conducted itself over the decades and the key stakeholders who were responsible for it.

Try asking someone who has read Kannathasan’s books if there is a mention of a yellow towel leader stealing Kannadasan's work and taking credit for it! [The answer is yes and I will let you investigate!] Also, as a follow up try asking if the yellow towel leader asked his senior to present him a ring that the yellow towel leader bought for himself!

Try asking someone what are the ‘warrior clans’ of Tamilnadu and try reading any anthropology book to see their origins and you will see that most of them migrated from different lands and even spoke different languages. [This is a grey area and this requires thick cross-reading and so please be patient until you’ve read enough]

Try asking someone if caste groups demanded the British government and/or the state governments to officially declare their caste as ‘warrior caste’ and if such a certificate was provided and you will see there are many groups who did that. Try looking up their anthropological history and you will see their origins are outside of Tamil culture and they have now blended with what is now Tamilnadu.

Try looking up the yellow towel leader, warrior castes and the government declaration of caste classification and you will see that the entire caste/religion based political status, its maintenance and control had been with groups who are in reality very different from what their ‘government declarations’ indicate. For example, some warrior clans [as per the British government certificate] migrated to Tamilnadu as farm workers [labourers].

There is no undermining any group based on their ethnic origin but NOT RECOGNIZING the COMMONALITY AMONG THE KEY CONTROLLING GROUPS of Tamilnadu politics is the next biggest misconception and the above instances are here to serve as the reason. Again, please do not believe me blindly. Please make an effort to read the anthropological history of people who now live in Tamilnadu and you will see why they behave the way they do [right and wrong treated equally here].

If you wish to look deeper into the commonality of rising unfairness in Tamilnadu politics, feel free to read this blog post [10 minutes]:

COMMONALITY IN THE PERSISTING UNFAIRNESS: RISING FEAR OF NON-TAMIL ABUSE AMONG THE TAMIL POPULATION

There are many more misconceptions but I think they are a consequence of and built over the big misconceptions that have caught my attention so far which I have made an attempt to explain here.

All humans are equal!!!
