THE CASTE HINDU’S JUSTIFICATION OF CASTE IS FULL OF ARROGANCE AND INSULT OF SUDRAS AND OTHERS

Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas, these were the three twice-born orders, belonging to the original Aryan stock. They conquered the non-Aryans, who by race and tradition were inferior. After their gradual conquest, these also became members of the Hindu family, but with inferior rank. These are the Sudras. By this means our forefathers protected themselves from interfusion with an inferior race.

In India, with all our caste, there was never either class feeling or race antagonism. The division of this community-family of the Hindus into caste groups was evolved for the division of labour, and the giving to all of the right of equal opportunities within his own particular sphere.

True only the Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaisyas could read the Vedas, and the Sudras were debarred. One does not give higher mathematics to children.

[Source: Caste: its supposed origin, etc.

I once met a Mahar, who, fearing that I was going near him and that my purity might then be defiled in case I touched him, and that he might incur the sin of defiling my purity, cried out at once and made his caste known to me. I got into conversation with him. I found that Mahar, though illiterate, could repeat many verses of Tukaram, Namdeo and Chokhamela. He appeared to be well acquainted with the theories of Karma and Bhakti, and of transmigration of soul. He believed that though he was a Mahar in that birth, by some misdoings in his past life, he was going to become a Brahmana in the next birth, as he felt the desire for learning Sanskrit, and reading Gita and Puranas. He conceived that these desires were clear indications of the better birth which he was going to get in his next life.

I do not know how far such sentiments exist in other members of the tribe. Bid it is not improbable that very many of the low castes believe, or are made to believe, that they justly suffer in this condition as a retribution for the sins which they did in the past life. [STHE HISTORY OF CASTE IN INDIA by SHRIDHAR V. KETKAR (1909)\

Dr. Ambedkar disproved the Aryan Invasion Theory with sound logic. After explaining at length that the caste system has nothing to do with the Aryan invasion, he comes to the conclusion that:

1. The Vedas do not know any such race as the Aryan race.

2. There is no evidence in the Vedas of an invasion of India by the Aryan race and its having conquered the Dasas and Dasyus supposed to be the natives of India.” (Dr. Ambedkar, “Writings & Speeches”, Vol. 7, pages 74-85)

Not only that “caste existed much before Manu. It is incorrect to say that Brahmins created caste. The Brahmins might have committed many sins but to impose caste system on the whole non-Brahmin people is beyond their capacity.” (Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in “Caste in India”)

Ambedkar declares: “Brahmins and the untouchables belong to the same race. From this it follows that if the Brahmins are Aryans, the untouchables are also Aryans. If the Brahmins are Dravidians, the untouchables are also Dravidians.” (Dr. Ambedkar, “Writings & Speeches”, Vol. 7, pages 302-303)

Dr. Ambedkar has the following firm convictions as to who Sudras are:

1. “The Sudras were one of the Aryan communities of the Solar race.

2. There was a time when the Aryan society recognised only three varnas, namely, Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas.

3. The Sudras did not form a separate varna. They ranked as part of the Kshatriya varna in the Indo-Aryan society.

4. There was a continuous feud between the Sudra kings and the Brahmins in which the Brahmins were subjected to many tyrannies and indignities.

5. As a result of the hatred towards the Sudras generated by their tyrannies and oppressions, the Brahmins refused to perform the Upanayana of the Sudras.

6. Owing to the denial of Upanayana, the Sudras who were Kshatriyas became socially degraded, fell below the rank of the Vaishyas and thus came to form the fourth varna.” (Dr. Ambedkar, “Writings & Speeches”, Vol. 7, pages 11-12)

Some of India’s major Brahmo Samajis

(who deny transmigration, hence caste)

Rabindra Nath Tagore

In 1911, Tagore took over the leadership of the Adi Brahmo Samaj

Indira Gandhi, Sarojini Naidu, Rajiv Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi

In 1942 Indira Nehru and Feroz Gandhi were married under Marriage Validity law (for converted low caste Arya Samajis) by secret pre-Vedic Adi Dharm reformed Brahmic rites taught to Nehru’s priest by Adi Dharma elders at Allahabad in the presence of Brahmos like Sarojini Naidu with the groom wearing a sacred Brahmic thread in secret.

Ever since, these Adi Dharma rites have been used by the Gandhi-Nehru family for their marriages – such as for Rajiv Gandhi to Sonia Gandhi, Sanjay Gandhi to Maneka Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi to Robert Vadra etc.

BRAHMO SAMAJ AND ARYA SAMAJ

At Calcutta, where he stayed from December 15, 1872 to April 15, 1873 Ramakrishna met him. He was also cordially received by the Brahmo Samaj. Keshab and his people voluntarily shut their eyes to the differences existing between them; they saw in him a rough ally in their crusade against orthodox prejudices and the million of gods. But Dayanand was not a man to come to an understanding with religious philosophers imbued with Western ideas.

His national Indian theism, its steel faith forged from the pure metal of the Vedas alone, had nothing in common with theirs, tinged as it was with modern doubt, which denied the infallibility of the Vedas and the doctrine of transmigration. He broke with them, the richer for the encountered, for he owed them the very simple suggestion, whose practical value had not struck him before, that his propaganda would be of little effect unless it was delivered in the language of the people.

He went to Bombay, where shortly afterwards his sect, following the example of the Brahmo Samaj, but with a better genius of organization, proceeded to take root in the social life of India. On April 10, 1875, he founded at Bombay his first Arya Samaj, or Association of the Aryans of India. [sOURCE]

LIBERTY AGAINST BRAHMINS

Why amongst the poor of India so many are Mohammedans? It is nonsense to say, they were converted by the sword. It was to gain their liberty from the . . . zemindars and from the . . . priest, and as a consequence you find in Bengal there are more Mohammedans than Hindus amongst the cultivators, because there were so many zemindars there. Who thinks of raising these sunken downtrodden millions?

Classical liberal B.G Gokhle’s comment on untouchability

It is absolutely monstrous that a class of human beings with bodies similar to our own, with brains that can think and with hearts that can feel, should be perpetually condemned to a low life of utter wretchedness. We may touch a cat, we may touch a dog, we may touch any other animal, but the touch of these human beings is pollution. And so complete is now the mental degradation of these people that they themselves see nothing in such treatment to resent, that they acquiesce in it as though nothing better than that was their due. At a public meeting in Dharwar in 1903

conversion of Dalits to Christianity

2. From the very birth of missionary work in India there had been devoted men who had given their lives to toil amongst the Outcastes, but for a long time comparatively little fruit appeared. From raator822,the South of India suffered from an appalling famine. Everywhere missionaries threw themselves into the work of saving life and alleviating distress; and this piece of disinterested service brought its reward. From 188o onwards great masses of the Outcaste of South India passed into the Church of Christ. Source: MODERN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN INDIA BY J. N. FARQUHAR (1915)

HINDUS AFRAID TO ELEVATE CASTE:

Later, certain Hindus took up the same position; but others pointed out that the policy of raising the Outcaste is contrary to Hinduism and must certainly tend to break up the religion. The following is a sentence from the Mahratta: 3

Now we know that the result of educating the depressed classes must be in the long run to weaken, if not utterly destroy caste.MODERN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN INDIA BY J. N. FARQUHAR (1915)

MY COMMENT ON fb: You can’t possible believe in the scriptures and YET elevate Dalits to the same pedestal as a Brahmin. If you do that then the transmigration of the soul (through karma) becomes falsified. There is therefore NO POSSIBILITY of Dalits getting an equal status in Hinduism.

oppression of Dalits

We are sick of the bondage which the barbarism of Hindu customs imposes upon us; we long to enjoy the perfect freedom which the British nation and the British Government desire to offer impartially to all those who are connected with them as British subjects.

We would, therefore, earnestly appeal to the Imperial Government to move on our behalf. We have long submitted to the Jagannath of caste; we have for ages been crushed under its ponderous wheels. But we can now no longer submit to the tyranny.

Our Hindu rulers did not recognize our manhood, and treated us worse than their cattle; and shall not that nation which emancipated the Negro at infinite self-sacrifice, and enlightened and elevated the poorer people of its own commonwealth, condescend to give us a helping hand? [Mahars (Dalits) of Maharashtra appealing for help against Hinduism to the British rulers of India (1910), in Memorial to the Earl of Crewe, Secretary of State for India cited in MODERN RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS IN INDIA BY J. N. FARQUHAR (1915)]
