A better Islamist who banned terror



Not exactly a bleeding-heart liberal, but open-minded by religious standards, Maulana Marghubur Rahman — the 96-year-old influential rector of Islamic seminary Darul Uloom — died on Wednesday at his ancestral home in UP’s Bijnor.

A young Rahman had waged an offensive from the seminary against the Muslim League and Mohammed Ali Jinnah’s call for a separate Muslim state. Indian Muslims, he would argue, belonged to India.

In February 2008, while delivering a speech, Rahman had invoked a Quranic principle to declare killing of innocents as anti-Islamic, which became the foundation of Deoband’s famous fatwa (edict) against terror, first reported by HT.

He was the spiritual force behind Rajya Sabha member Mahmood Madni’s initiative against terror. Rahman had cited a Quranic verse that expressly forbid killing of innocents. This became the basis of the anti-terror fatwa.

Born in 1914 in Bijnor, Rahman joined Darul Uloom Deoband in 1929 and came under the influence of nationalist clerics, such as Hussain Ahmed Madani, the great grandfather of Mahmood Madni.

Darul had vehemently opposed the two-nation theory that was the basis for the creation of Pakistan.

Rahman was deeply influenced by pro-Congress Husain Ahmad Madni, who took on Maulana Abul Ala Maududi, the religious fountain head for Jinnah’s ideas.

    What a frucking apologist /story — Rahman took 8 years after 9/11 to pronounce terorism is bad, and then he had his own qualifications as to which terrorism is bad, basically making all terrorism “just”.. For God’s sake, Deoband School even have a course on “jehad”..

    Bad people live long… that is the only moral of this wreteched man’s life.

    @Zia, okay I commemnd the nationalist in him ,but these are the people who should be history,because he could not reform islam , or he wouldn’t dare to ,nor did he modernise islam , nor did he question the authenticity and veracity of quoran, and lastly he didnot RE EVALUATE quoran in the light of seismic changes in beleif system brought about by science. Here is the difference. When Bishop of Durham was asked about RESURRECTION , he said he does not beleive resurrection
    in physical sense , but more of a symbolic. If the late rahman said something of that order he could have ushered in a cataclysmic change for good in islam. like he could have said we need allah , and that’s it , no need for haz to fill the coffers of imperial arab , eating pork has nothing to do with allah, and life and society should be dictated according to the needs of the time , thus no nikah no talaq but civil marriage and civil divorce.

    @Shan,
    As far as marriage-divorce laws, government should have taken the bold decision. Don’t put the blame on this person. Regarding questioning the authenticity of quoran; your expectation is not reformation of Islam, instead a revolution. An ordinary religious head cannot do that. To me, one smaller irreversible step is better than 10 reversible ones. But he could have made an islamic scholar committee (or some such blah blah.. an eyewash) who can device some Islamic laws which help an average muslim fit better into the modern society’s requirements (like population control, rights of divorced woman). Some route, which does not hurt an average Muslim’s religious sentiments, at the same time relevant for today. It would have helped Muslims better.

    shan be aware of brahmns,

    There were 80 % Brahmins in Budhas’s Bhikku Sangha, but they only ditched and killed the Budha. Emperor Ashoka had to dislodge and remove the pious saffron robe (chiwar) of around 75,000 Brahmin Bhikkus. Brahmins troubled and even killed the great leaders who walked on Budha’s path like Kanishka, Harshwardhan, Namdev, Ravidas, Kabir, Tukaram, Shivaji, Tegbahadur Singh, Arjun Dev, Mahatma Phule, Shahu Maharaj, Sambhaji, and even Dr. Ambedkar. In the beginning Dr. Ambedkar didn’t hate the Brahmins but after the incident of Maratha people program at Pune (1942), he also declared that Brahmins can’t be anybody’s friend. Therefore, we should paste everywhere that “Beware of Brahmins (i.e. aliens in India”). It should be written on all the walls of all the cities

I don’t have any figures on their wealth, but since none of the richest or powerful people in India happen to be ‘Brahmin’ (Ambani, Wadia, Gandhi family, Azim Premji, Mallya, Manmohan Singh, yes all non-brahmins) I can assume that brahmins don’t hold all the wealth, and all the power.

    Yes moron, India is not ruled by brahmins, but a collection of people called Indians. GETTIT!!! (BTW if that helps, Im a Brahmin)

    It will take some more time for you to appreciate that Indian Muslims are writing a new chapter in Islamic history. In India they are neither a majority nor a mini minority and are struggling against all odds in marking socio-economic space for themselves peacefully in their country under a hostile atmosphere. Moderate nationalists like Maulana Abul Kalam Azad to a great extent and Maulana Marghoob to a lesser extent have chalked out a spiritual-scientific path for post-independence Indian Muslims to follow. Hard-liners of all hues would find it hard to digest – and that’s a tragedy which Indian Muslims have to cope with courageously.

    It is time to blame others – hard liners or soft liners or one liners — There is no substitiute for hard work, persistence, accomplishments, achievemnets. Indians of all caste nd creed respect Dr Abdul Kalam. Children of all religions went gaga over him. (although many Muslims resented him). India has demonstrated time and again that merit and accomplishments will be respected and recognized, whereevr it comes from. All respect Manmohan Singh. Tos ome extent, all respect Antony for his simplicitya nd uncorruptability. Different rleigions, all Indians, all contributing…

    The targedy of Indian Muslims (as all other Msulims worldwide) is a self-inflicted one, constantly refusing to be with the flow, to integrate, to be a part of teh vibrant community. Trains have left so many times, and you guys stayed in the station. It is still not too late… Again do not blame others.. Whom will you blame for Muslims’ situation in all other ISlamic countries – Pakistan, Yemen, Morocco, Egypt, Somalia, Chad, Sudan — are Muslims rising there to top achievements …and they are nort rising there because some majority is suppressing them????

    Whatever may be his personal belefs, Mr Rahman should be given some cerdit that the Indian deoband School did not turn like its offshoots in Pakistan . Pakistani deobandi school created almost all of its terrorist leaders. Indian deobandi school, as far as we know, hs not created any terrorist.

    A future Ph D student may unearth the rationale/reason as to why the seed (pakistani deobandis) grew into a monster. and why the parent stayed non-controversial. Was it Rahman’s idea and leadership? Or was it the pluralistic Indian polity? Or, was it the belief that Muslims in India will be doomed if they try to be like Pakistani Deobandis. Or, if India were a Muslim majority country, would Indian Deobandis also have behaved like Pakiistani deobandis believing in autocracy, clerical leadership, death obsession, burqua, women suppression, and a life like it was in the sands of arabia thousands of years ago..

    The answer is in the acceptance and tolerance of Hindusim. If hindus would have created an environment as “Islamic” Pakistan has created for Hindus, then there will be monsters even if stays silent because of practice reason. The reason that most of the Muslims do accept Hindu Majority India as their own country is because there is tolerance and acceptance in Hindu culture.

    Even then there are people like Indian Mujahidin and Mr Ram Autar, who think Hindu “Zionists” (I am completely confused why he calls Hindus Zionist, but then he thinks that “american agression” is creating monsters). It is creed and practice of hatered that creats monsters. Evil stems when one hates another because of Caste, creed, color, gender or age. Hatered is the breeding ground for monsters. Mr Ram Autar, and his like in Maoist will not understand that.

    The reason Deobandis was against partition does not have anything to do with nationalism; but the fear about the Muslims left behind who may not migrate. Their mean calculus made them believe that the ones who are left behind will be eliminated by the majority. While that did not happen in India; those “fears’ (of course Hindus being naive did not have that fear!) did prove right in Pakistan, where the majority systematically killed Hindus and Sikhs and Christians marginalizing the minority from 17% to 2% today.

    Both sides of Punjab (Pakistan and Indian) have acted terribly during partition. (Only debate can be, who started first).

    One thing is evident, No Muslim cleric supported Violence, Murders and Killings, Rape*s etc. Always they denounced.

    Leaders like Bhagwat, Advani, Togadia, Modi, Bal have involved and supported most heinous crimes in the history.

    You are right about the Deobandi motivations against the partition. Another less mentioned and often over-looked factor is the Ulema’s desire to keep ignorant masses of Muslims under the permanent “religious” shackles. Madani made so many deals with Nehru, basically keeping government as far away (other than receiving money) controlling all aspects of Muslim life, essentially enslaving them , and preventing indirectly them from particiption, growth, accomplishments, achievements.

    History(including Islamic History) is full of examples of how clerical domination screwed up countries and civilizations. This is what is happening in Pakistan. As somebody mentioned, it is a good thing that (Islamic) Clerical control on Indian (Muslims) did not create any terrorists. However, the bad thing, zapping of aspiration and motivations, takes a long time to rectify. And Deoband school has not done anything and is not doing anything to bring Muslims up. (other than manufacturing Mullahs as they have done for two hundred years, with the same objective as they had then, “to unclutch Muslims from western science and progress and corrupting influence of western civilization”

Classic case is that of the MIM in Hyderabad, who for their 5 MLA seats, have politically compromised with Congress/TDP at the cost of Muslim representation in the AP Assembly. And the ruling party of the day turns a blind eye to all the criminal activities that the MIM carries on within the old city of Hyderabad. Resultantly, millions of Muslims in AP do not have any voice in the Assembly or any institution worth its name. In the 39 member-cabinet of Kiran Kumar Reddy, there’s only one Muslim minister!

They are getting ghettoized and totally disinterested in the political process of our country. This must be stopped, and that can be done by Congress of TDP who occupy power in Hyderabad; and these parties are least bothered about the issue, as it suits them perfectly. That is the problem – the commitment of the Congress and TDP towards secularism in AP is a big problem.

    @Farid it is not only mullahs , looks like the cretins from west of bongaon border have been able to transmit the oposanskriti (debased culture) bandwagon to the shores of padma. here is a cut and paste
    Post SRK’s visit, a Bangladesh-based newspaper, the Weekly Blitz, has called the star ‘the king of vulgarity’. And there’s a list of reasons why he’s been given the ‘title’.

    The paper alleges that Shah Rukh smoked in public, with the TV cameras on him, showing that he didn’t really care about what people in the country thought about him.

    The Weekly Blitz also brought up that SRK was apparently allowed to use the VVIP terminal at the Dhaka airport. The paper wondered why he didn’t use the VIP terminal, and pointed out that he didn’t have privileges to use the VVIP terminal in India or any other countries he travelled to.

    Shah Rukh’s use of Bengali slang also got him on the wrong side of the paper. The paper said that it shoowed SRK’s lack of respect for the country that was paying him a huge amount of money for the show. And the paper wasn’t too happy with SRK using English and Hindi either, writing that he was trying to impose the language on proud Bangladeshis.

    Finally, the paper accused Shah Rukh’s troupe members at the show (including Russian dancers) of performing illicit activities with locals

Married a fellow middleeastern, settled down in LUTON (incubator of global jehad , all the london bombers assembled here for dry run before the blasts, area full of pakistanis and bangladeshis), had a house two young kids , the third one one year old.

    During the Nehru days Brahminic rulers had their bogus pro-Soviet policy because the sham socialism helped the rulers to set up massive public sector units, recruit their jatwalas to all top posts and milk the socialist cow for 30 years. Wonderful. Subsequent PMs gradually started becoming closer to the West. But it was P.V. Narasimha Rao, the notorious Telugu Brahmin who tightly embraced his fellow Jewish state of Israel and collaborated in the demolition of Babri Masjid to declare India as a Hindu Rashtra.

    Brahminism has no permanent friend. It has only permanent interests. During the World War-II they hugged Hitler ( “Brahminsts supported Hitler”). There was no stopping. America became the motherland of the Bhoodevatas. The “Khatri Sick PM”, the World Bank export, is the principal villain who made India turn into the tail of USA.

    As this is written India is behaving as the enemy of China at a time when the world’s sole super power, USA, is afraid of it. China for all outward purposes may use some nice words but our information is Beijing fully knows the Brahminists hate China. The proof is Brahminists have not so far started going to China on a holiday.

    Keeping the hated Dalai Lama as its honoured guest and encouraging the beef-eating Tibetan toughs to attack Chinese embassy is a clear sign of Brahminist hatred of China

    DEAR SHAN BHAI,AND BROTHER HEGDE,The Hindu, India’s principal Brahminical daily from Madras, called the “Mount Road Maha Vishnu”, published a picture of a notorious Tamil Brahmin, who has made millions and boosted by his tribe, which controls the entire Indian toilet papers.

    The picture published in its issue of Oct.27, 2010 shows “Sri Sri” Ravishankar, the latest craze of the leisured class, opening his “Art of Deceiving” centre in revolutionary Beijing on Oct.25, 2010.

    Humbug of yoga: What Ravishankar is made famous for is nothing but the good old Brahminical gimmick called yoga which is essentially a deep-breathing technique — but in a closed room.

    Some years back, the swami, who controls a multi-million dollar empire in Bangalore and employs hundreds of his jatwalas, sent a Dalit IT engineer to our office to invite US to one of his “intercourse”. we told the Dalit brother that hwe would be too glad to come if the swami said that if he was doing anything more than the centuries-old deep-breathing technique, advertised as yoga.

    The one who brought the invitation never came back.

    Thousands of such swamis are deceiving the rich upper castes who are too willing to be deceived. But the “Art of Deceiving”, much less the yoga, has not so far succeeded in deceiving the Dalits or Muslims.

    The latest is the Hindu announcement that the “Art of Deceiving” has reached the capital of revolutionary China. We don’t know how far this report and the picture are to be believed. Because this swami is known for many such false claims which their jatwala media are too willing to advertise.

    Our question is how China allowed such counter-revolutionaries to enter Beijing? Both the Jews and the “Jews of India” have declared China as their enemy. To this day none of them could infiltrate into China. Are the Jews and the “Jews of India” trying to subvert the revolutionary China by using their “art of deceiving”?

    The Stockholm “terror attacker” Saturday more properly should be called the ‘firecracker-bomber’. As can be seen in the videos, there was no bomb damage to the cars, except burning. Also the nearby glass windows didn’t break. The ‘firecracker-man’ died,due to a stomach injury, and still showed signs of life when a passerby came to help him.

    In the film linked on the front page of this newspaper, you can hear how minor the explosion was, so minor that people continue to walk towards the burning car. Also at the end of the film you see a billboard man (for a restaurant), who is hiding his face very effectively. Looks rather suspicious as we have had cold weather now for about a month and people have got used to the cold. Also this guy might fit in together with, what looks like an other billboard directly at the side of the dead ‘terrorist’. This board seems also to have some damage. Did the suicide bomber have this board on him and if so, who had hired him?

    In the pictures of the ‘bomber’ there is also a mobil-phone with some wires attached, supposedly used to ignite the ‘bombs’. But why use such a sophisticated device when an ordinary battery and switch could do the job? Was this, like in Iraq bombings, used to let the real perpetrators set of the’bomb/bombs’? (There was a few more, very small ‘bombs’ around the ‘firecracker-bomber’, that didn’t explode. Is it possible that his collaborators betrayed him?)

    It’s already a scandal here. As on 9/11, a person got a warning from a friend in the military that something was to happen in the actual street and day. (I thought they had a little better control of our big media?)

    “Two explosions in Sweden’s capital tore at the fabric of this tolerant and open nation — a society that hadn’t seen a terrorist attack in more than three decades. For the first time Sweden faces the prospect of domestic terrorism.”
    –Typical media coverage ratchets up the fear in Sweden inviting more “security” measures.

    @Bloggers etal, a succession of depressing tales. last night watched a documentary on BBC about the current situation of flood in pakistan. To call it heartwrenching would be an understatement. The waters haven’t fully receded , the poverty is all pervading , so is illiteracy , and healthcare. This makes your blood boil , those buffons in smart cut suits WHOSE ONLY MAQSAD IS ANTI INDIA RHETORIC, and the VILE ARMY, even viler isi, yet nothing is going to happen. Then came the news of a flotilla capsised after hitting the shores of christmas island in australia. many died , THEY WERE IRAQI AND IRANIAN REFUGEES. You can imagine how awful must have been the situation in their country that they took this suicidal journey. AND YES USA , MORE PARTICULARLY BUSH AND HIS POODLE BLAIR HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS. What the moronic islamist dont appreciate IT IS THE AMERICANS WHO ARE UNMASKING THIS CHARADE. Just watch oliver stone’s “W”. Though I wholeheartedly support USA and nato involvement in AFGANISTAN.But if the book Obamas Wars is anything to go by , then there is plenty to worry about the outcome.Next i watched Milos Foreman’s GOYA’S GHOST. this should be dubbed in arabic, persian, urdu and poshto. It is what my fellow blogger Syed and L mirza been saying all along. This is what happens when clergy rule like in times of spanish inquisition. A girl has been brought to the court as she preferred chicken to pork , the deduction is it shows jewish sympathy , though she is christian through and through.

    Butcher of Bengal” as darling of Bhadralok

    Jyoti Basu was the longest serving Chief Minister of any state in India (DV Feb.16, 2010, p.9). As head of the ruling Left Front he ruled W.Bengal for 23 years from 1977 to 2000. He never dreamt to become the CM. For the first five years of his tenure the communists shouted from roof top that Indira Gandhi would dismiss his govt. which, however, never happened.

    He will be best known as a man of status quo. He never tried to push through any of the policies which the powerful manuwadis and upper caste bureaucrats resisted.

    Though land reform started soon after the Left came to power, it had to be abandoned when the marxists realised that their supporters in the countryside were upper caste landowners. This rural educated section (teachers) who have to do party work more but not bother much about teaching. 32 years ago primary school teacher’s monthly pay was Rs. 200 month. Now over Rs. 5,000.

    Giving the havenots very little and yet controlling the vast rural area with the help of the upper castes has been the modus operandi of the manuwadi marxists.

    Muslim support: Pass-fail system was abolished in Bengal. Children are promoted to the higher class without exam. The idea behind this is to keep the children unlettered. 40% children of class III and IV cannot read and write Bengali. The percentage is higher for SC/ST/OBC and Muslims. After he took over, industrial units one by one closed. Howrah dt., which had maximum number of factories is today barren.

    He was more interested to remain as CM than do something concrete to save his state. Most important quality of this marxist was to maintain the status quo. Muslims supported him because no state-sponsored anti-Muslim riots took place during the last 32 years unlike the anti-Muslim riot (1964) under the very nose of the then Congress Chief Minister P.C. Sen when 10 lakh Muslims emigrated to East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). (abulqaseem2008@yahoo.com)

    One person or a PARTY can not do all–what they promises–it should be judged by their sincerity and intention [ NIAT ? ]–JOTY BASU”S intention to do good for society was above doubt to me—he did not look after people on the basis of religion or color.

    I have little idea about MUSLIM SOCIETY of WEST BENGAL —But before blaming the opponents,one should acquire strength [ education ] and compete–if any foul play-then complains are justified.
    Muslims [with few exception] all over the world kept half [women ] of their work force idle,uneducated–how can we fight with one hand ?In Bangladesh– government trying to uplift womenfolks interest but they are facing stiff oppositon from the so called ISLAMI UMMAH LEADERS.Position in W,BENGAL may be same–so before blaming opponent-we should liberate-us-from the clutches of evil reactionary forces of dark–

    There was a ground swell movement “vimochan Samara” (liberation struggle) organized by religious leaders, private educational institutions, lawyers etc against the communist government of EMS Namboodiripad in Kerala. Ultimately it became a major law and order isue that Nehru government had to dismiss the state govt and institute presidential rule.

    Communists have won elections on and off in Kerala including the present Achuthanandan Government.

    This may be the last communist govt Kerala may witness. People are fed up with them on many grounds. However, one that created big problem is their support in creation of extremist Msulim parties in Kerala. In an effort to wean some Muslims away from the moderate Msulim League (that always was in congress coalition), they supported extremism which now is out of control. They were indirectly responsble for the creation of extremist, fundamentalistic Muslim parties sucha s PFI (the professor chopper), SDPI, PDP (Abdus Madani and Soofiya Madani). Keralas historical religious and social harmony has been upset by the extremist acts of these groups, originally nurtured by Marxists.

    You are right. Kerala also has rowdy labour unions and labour rules (one reason why no company moves there!) All keralites who are “anti capitalists” migrate to the gulf countries and work for “slave owning capitalists” there…such is the irony!

    It is discussed whether Kerala’s social progress is the result of the communist rule or the ingrained systems – womens property rights, christian educational institutions, benevolent (school building, hospitaaal building etc) kings instead of the palace building variety, a historical middle class etc… Of course, communists have been taking credit

    There is no BJP/RSS in the state in terms of electoral power. No single MLA, no single Muniicpal chairmanship, and for that matter I think no single PAnchayat presidency.

    Unfortunately, whether you like it or not, it is Muslims that create havoc here now… they are killing other Muslims as well as getting into many terrorist activities –as the recent wikileaks have documented.. ISI sending agents to train Kerala Muslims….Several cases are pending; the recent “hand chopping” case has unearthed real bad stuff for the country, including treason. Muslims in Kerala are now viewed with suspicion, because of a few exrtremist Musl;ms..

    You always seem to be in a “denial” and “blame” mode.. For any Musoim issue , u seem to have a blame on somebody else. Even if it is true, is there something Miusloims can do to get out of their situation worldwide?

    to shan gopi thomas and hegde,
    a good peech by someone,shan bhai,main kaise naam loon unka jo dil mein rahte hain hardam,

    For your information the anti-Mandal war and violence during the V.P. Singh Govt. was planned and executed by the Brahminical students in JNU. Some Dalit students were staying with us fearing threat to their lives. The Brahminical students found out our address in Vasant Vihar, Delhi, broke open our flat, ransacked the whole thing and threw leaflets condemning Mandal Report. When we returned late in the night, our neighbours were all laughing and enjoying the “punishment” given to us.

    Dalits suffered for OBCs: Delhi then witnessed unprecedented violence. All Dalit students of JNU had to run away to their villages to save their lives.

    The Mandal Commission Report was meant for the OBCs but the people who led the agitation and suffered were the Dalits. There is no change in the behaviour of the upper castes — whether elders or its youth — since then. Among the upper caste women, there may be some exceptions.

    But by and large the upper caste Brahminical people, who constitute less than 15% of the country’s population, have not changed. They don’t want to change. Why should they change when they are the rulers?

    Their behaviour has been the same ever since they came to our India as beggars — thousands of years ago.

    Reddy or Khamma rule : Today they are the rulers. And particularly after the so-called “independence”, they are the owners and rulers. And we are the victims of their rulership.

    Our statement may shock you. But unfortunately it is the supreme truth. We have written about it, spoken about it hundreds of times. None has challenged it so far.

    Take the case of AP. It is either the Reddy rule or the Khamma rule. It is the case in all the states of India.

    As the Editor of Dalit Voice, the oldest and the largest circulated journal of the Bahujan Samaj, now 30-years-old, we are in touch with all the states and frequently tour the country. We are in touch with our people of the whole country.

    Mayawati rule: This is our third visit to this university (Hyderabad Central University). There is no state in India which is ruled by the Bahujan Samaj.

    You may ask: What about UP under Mayawati? Sorry, UP also is under the control of Brahminical people. Only the CM is a Dalit.

    Brahmins may be 2 or 2.5% but the other three layers of the Brahminical society, comprising Kshatriya, Vaishya and shudra put together become 15%. And these sections control all the wealth, monopoly of English language, control all the Hindu gods and their wealth. Even our very thinking is under their control.

    And more than that, they have the govt. in their hands, judiciary, education system, industry and commerce.

    Fear of Bahujans: And on the top of that the powerful media — that can convert the day into night and vice-versa.

    This (15%) ruling class is fully aware of the dangers of the voting power of the Bahujans (85%) and the possibility of the over-whelming Bahujans capturing the political power and becoming the rulers.

    Thinking sections among the Brahminists do not even get sound sleep in the night.

    Fearing such a possibility, this Brahminical ruling class earlier experimented with their favourite philosophy of manuwadi marxism.

    In AP, all the top marxist leaders were Khammas or Reddis. Even the Naxalite, Maoist leadership was in the hands of Brahmins, Reddis and Khammas.

    In W. Bengal, the three upper castes — Brahmins, Baidyas and Kayasths — have been having an uninterrupted rule — all marxists. In the other “marxist state” of India, namely Kerala, it is again the same upper castes, Brahmins, Nairs who rule.

    In the Naxalite or Maoist movement also, it is the same upper caste Brahmins and others who are holding the leadership.

    Gaddar’s worry: But those who carry the gun, fight the police and die are our people — the SC/ST/BCs.

    Gaddar is the lone Dalit in the maoist movement but he was shot twice and silenced. If he opens his mouth against the upper caste control of the Maoist movement, he will be shot dead. He knows it. The poor man is deeply worried.

    His only job is to sing and dance — and entertain the people, gather the crowd and brainwash them about the maoist movement.

    Gaddar is an Ambedkarite and our close friend. But he is helpless. Poor man, we pity him.

    The Brahminical control of the Maoist movement is total. But those who die in the police bullets are our people.This is a serious problem.

    Corporates financing Mao: A powerful section of the upper castes, including big corporate houses are financing and supporting the Maoist movement. How the upper castes (rich) are supporting Maoists? Because they know the Bahujan movement, inspired by the thoughts of Babasaheb Ambedkar, Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy, Mahatma Phule etc., will turn the 85% Bahujans against the 15% upper caste exploiters.

    That is why they are financing, advertising and doing everything to promote the Maoists. But at the same time confining them to rural areas.

    On one side the Maoist movement has taken control of the entire eastern part of India — covered by dense forests. The Maoists are strictly ordered to confine themselves to rural areas.

    Hindu terrorists: On another side the Hindu terrorist organisations like the RSS and the more powerful Abhinav Bharat, fully supported by the zionist Israel, are attacking Muslims, Christians and Sikhs.

    The Maoists operate in villages and Hindu terrorists operate in cities.

    But the govt. is not taking any action against either the Maoists or the RSS-Abhinav Bharat leadership — because both are controlled by the 15% ruling Brahminists.

    Caught in the cross fire of these two Brahminical counter-revolutionary movements, fully supported by India’s Brahminical toilet papers and our super-rich corporate houses, the country’s Bahujans (85%) have become helpless, totally impoverished, completely confused.

    Rulers hate Truth: This is the prevailing situation today, though no media will speak out the truth. Because speaking out the truth is not in the interest of the micro-minority upper caste ruling class.

    What we have said so far sums up the boiling cauldron to which the ruling class of India has pushed the 85% slaves of India.

    Jews support Brahmins: For your information the ruling Brahminical people are receiving all their inspiration, support and the tools to tackle the situation from the Jews who control America and the West.

    The entire American system, the sole super power of the world, is controlled by its 2% Jews. Barack Obama is a just a slave in the hands of the Jews.

    And here, we are controlled by its 2% “Jews of India”.

    Both are blood brothers and well-known for their destructive capacity.

    In spite all these advantages the ruling class in India is in a terrible dilemma. All its trump cards have failed.

    Hinduism & Gandhism are same: Their “Hindu Dharma” is buried deep under mountains of corruption. To this day they could not build their “Ram temple”. (cheers) Their Karnataka Govt. controlled by the BJP (Brahmana Jati Party) is buying MLAs paying Rs. 50 to 70 crores.

    The “Hindu dharma” has become the other word for corruption. Their own party of BJP was defeated in Delhi.

    Marxism has failed to attract the poverty-stricken SC/ST/BC and Muslims.

    Their gandhism has proved to be nothing but the other side of the Hindu dharma. Both are bogus.

    So all the three varieties of experiments which the Brahminists have tried: (1) Hindu Dharma, (2) marxism and (3) gandhism — have failed to attract the Bahujan majority.

    That is how the micro minority 15% upper caste rulers are facing such a serious dilemma. Because anything and everything they touch is becoming mud. The rulers are getting extremely worried.

    Jews offer magic formula: And at this critical juncture, their blood brother Jews ruling the Western world have come out with a magic solution.

    This magic mantra which the Jews tried in America and Europe has achieved considerable success. What is this magic mantra? It is called “money-driven society”.

    This is the subject of our talk today.

    What we were told by our elders, our saints, savants, seers like Dr. Ambedkar, Mahatma Phule, Guru Ravidas, Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy, Sri Narayana Guru etc. was to adopt a value-driven society — based on the principles of justice, truth, compassion, kindness to animals, birds, nature, respect for women and all other weaker sections.

    Worship of the rich: We were told to respect the aged, elders, sick and the deprived sections.

    Today, the entire process has been reversed — thrown out. It is replaced by the money-driven society.

    Every month the newspapers will publish on its front page a list of the country’s “richest people”.

    The Ambanis head the list.

    Mukesh Ambani’s palatial house, the tallest in Bombay, is pictured on the front pages.

    He is praised, paraded and every management course (MBA) student is told to emulate him. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man, a Jew, is called our model.

    We are also told by our father, mother, teacher, neighbour, relative to make money. Because money brings fame, name, respect, authority. Yes. This is true also.

    Ambanis have become our model. Narayana Murthy of Bangalore is another model. Every rich man becomes the leader of the society.

    Political leaders are ridiculed. The upper castes are made to hate politicians because being a minority they never get elected.

    Humanities dept. closed: So much so all university departments teaching “humanities” subjects are attracting no students. Teachers and even professors have lost respect. If an IAS or IPS officer is honest and doesn’t take bribe, even his wife and in-laws will say he is a useless fellow.

    If you have a big car, that too foreign-made, you will be called an important man.

    You command respect if you live in a posh bungalow.

    If you go to the Tirupati temple and offer Rs. 100 crores, that will come on the front page.

    Nobody will ask you from where you got the money.

    India’s rank in corruption: When money brings you respect— not your educational qualifications, academic achievements or intellectual capacity — you feel frustrated and naturally you will be forced to turn to make money.

    Making money is the easiest thing. Because in India our whole socio-economic system itself is corrupt. India ranks very high in corruption.

    Our judiciary is top to bottom corrupt. So too the politicians, businessmen, education system. Even our Defence forces.

    Media is the worst corrupt. Times of India is the leader in this field.

    Our Hindu religious leaders are swimming in corruption.

    As a newspaperman for the past about 55 years, I have not found a single field which is not corrupt.

    Money corruption leads to intellectual corruption.

    I have written a book, India’s Intellectual Desert, (DSA-1999, Rs. 50) in which I have explained this in detail.

    Our university libraries are closing down because nobody goes there. Reading habit itself is dead under this money-driven society which has encouraged luxury, eating, drinking, pleasure-seeking and all unethical behaviour. In Bangalore, there is a big demand for night life.

    Death of social science: Cinema is promoting such a money-driven culture.

    Our education system with its emphasis on “business management” is killing all our values.

    There is no demand for subjects like literature, sociology, history, humanities. If such important subjects like humanities are neglected how can we produce policy-makers? In US, UK and Europe humanity subjects are very popular. But the Brahminical India has killed the humanities. Killing humanities means killing the human being itself. (cheers)

    The rush is only to such depts. like medicine, management, IT, engineering, corporate law, fashion designing etc.

    Only such courses that help you make money.

    Harshad Mehta glorified: And making money is the easiest: if you don’t speak the truth and work against justice and universal truth, you can make any amount of money.

    And the moment you make money, you command respect and your picture hits the front page of the Times of India.

    You can take it from me that nothing will happen to Modi, the Marwari Bania involved in the IPL cricket scandal.

    When the notorious Gujarati Bania, Harshad Mehta, caused a crash of 2-3 banks, the Economic Times appointed him as special adviser and published his articles on the front page. (cheers)

    Pigs club: All these rogues and rascals, who have made money through illegal means are parading as Rotary Club, Lions Club, Pigs and Donkeys club presidents.

    Money-driven society has brought a big boom to Hindu temples. Such a money-driven society is helping the Brahminical temples.

    Hinduism promotes corruption: All these neo-rich rascals are running to temples for whom the temple authorities are holding special pujas, giving special blessings of the god and the devotees are paying money to the pujaris in lakhs and crores.

    See how the Hindu religion is promoting corruption.

    Brahmin temples are growing richer. Corruption is helping the bhoodevatas to grow rich.

    Tirupati temple does not know what to do with its enormous funds.

    But the country is not growing, the oppressed Bahujans are further squeezed in this mad rush of the money-driven society.

    Agriculture devastated: Agriculture is devastated. Nobody is growing food crops. Attention is diverted to cash crops.

    Food crisis is becoming a very serious problem. Newspapers and journals sticking to value-driven society are collapsing. Dalit Voice is a victim of this new society.

    Universities are re-fashioning themselves.

    Kapil Sibal, the Brahmin Union Minister for HRD, is promoting the money-driven society by inviting Western universities to India. That means Indian universities are killed.

    In the process, the already rich have grown enormously rich. The poor, meaning the SC/ST/BCs and Muslims have become more poor.

    World’s most corrupt country: Nature and ecology are devastated. Women are the worst affected by the onslaughts of this society.

    India is already hailed as the world’s most corrupt country.

    United Nations has given the 160th place to India. While China ranks No.2

    Every section of the society is corrupted in this storm of the money-driven society.

    Kalmadi scandal: Already, India has reached the saturation point as you have recently witnessed in the Kalmadi-scandal in the Commonwealth Games.

    Nothing will happen to Kalmadi because he is fully protected by the ruling Brahminists.

    Except the Opposition political parties, no Brahminist “intellectual” has so far criticised Kalmadi.

    Karnataka’s BJP Govt. has crossed all limits of corruption. But no Brahminist intellectual has criticised it.

    Stock exchange as temple: All Brahminists are supporters of this money-driven society. The stock exchange is their new temple.

    So much so big cities have become bigger and unliveable.

    Bombay has become one big slum. Calcutta died 20 years back. Madras became a slum long back. Bangalore is dying fast. Delhi is chaotic.

    Only Hyderabad is somewhat untouched because 20% of its population is Muslim.

    The country itself is facing very difficult times caught in this chaos created by the money-driven society.

    Micro Finance menace: You must have heard of the micro-finance menace created in AP. These sharks led by the Vikram Akulas etc. after finishing the urban poor, are now after the blood of poor women, living in villages.

    The govt. itself winked at it. But when their blood-sucking game reached intolerable limits, the govt. and the police had to step in. Many top people will be arrested.

    Bangalore’s Narayana Murthy has diverted his money to SKS Micro Finance.

    Blood sucking: From this you can make out that blood-sucking is reaching critical stages. Big sharks are out to squeeze us.

    Yet our people are not getting angry. This is because of the Brahminical religion which injected the poison of ahimsa into our veins.

    Every Hindu god is fully armed: arrow, gadha, chakra, talwar, chakra, etc. (cheers)

    Yet they call Hinduism as the world’s only religion of non-violence. Bullshit. (cheers)

    On one side our people are deliberately kept poor and hungry. And on the top of that they are given this Hindu injection to remain peaceful. Ahimsa.

    If ever by chance they turn violent, the Brahminical rulers have one of the biggest standing armies, over a dozen para-military forces, police etc. to violently deal with us.

    Non-violence for us but violence for rulers. (cheers)

    But all this will not last long. Anarchy is setting in. Things are collapsing.

    Karnataka has proved that undemocratic, if not anti-democratic, Hindu rule will destroy democracy itself in India.

    International developments: In the midst of such a gloomy atmosphere, the only silver lining is the grave developments at the international level which will destroy the Brahminical money-driven society.

    Both the Jews and the “Jews of India” are nearing the end of their rule.

    So we have hope more in the developments outside India.

    And some hope in the oppressed Bahujans losing patience and hitting back.

    The subject I have dealt with is a very serious one and also very complicated which cannot be compressed within the time-limit given to me. Yet I have done by level best.

    Hi Farid,
    I think your knowledge of Indian/ Hindu mythology is flawed.
    Firstly, Ravana was a Brahmin.
    So, if you want some bold person to stand up and say that “stop humiliating Ravana”, you are right! He has to be really brave.
    Secondly, Rama’s victory over Ravana is ALWAYS portrayed as a victory of good over evil- it is an universal theme, I daresay, that runs through most epics in the world.

I suggest both of you TRY to read Meghnad badh Kabya , by michael madhusudhan Dutt. You will need a samsad , bengali to english dictionary by your side. I remember just arrived from St Michaels , kurji danapur , straight forced to sit for the entrance exanm of HINDU SCHOOL in college street. We were asked to translate a passage from Meghnadh badh kabya , I remember the line “Bankim Griba khani hilaye” ., didn’t have a clue what bankim or griba meant , but such a irony that language became my soul so much so the honour board in my school has my name for highest marks in bengali , by a kid from patna.According to Michael RAM is is a conniving coward and spineleess , who is more interested to find out whether sita slept with Ravan , rather than providing her with mental support for all the trauma of confinement that she underwent.

    @Ashish, in case you find original insurmountable apparently there is a translation.
    The poem is rising into splendid popularity. Some say it is better than Milton-but that is all bosh-nothing can be better than Milton; many say it licks Kalidasa; I have no objection to that. I don’t think it impossible to equal Virgil, Kalidasa, and Tasso.” Michael Madhusudan Datta wrote this in a letter to a friend about his verse narrative, The Slaying of Meghanada (1861). The epic, a Bengali version of the Ramayana story in which Ravana, not Rama, is the hero, has become a classic of Indian literature. Datta lived in Bengal at the height of what is frequently called the Bengal Renaissance, a time so labeled for its reinvigoration and reconfiguration of the Hindu past and for the florescence of the literary arts. It was also a period when the Bengali city of Kolkata was a center of world trade-the second city of the British empire-and thus a site of cultural exchange between India and the West. Datta was the perfect embodiment of this time and place. The Slaying of Meghanada is deeply influenced by western epic tradition, and is sprinkled with nods to Homer, Milton, and Dante. Datta’s deft intermingling of western and eastern literary traditions brought about a sea change in South Asian literature, and is generally considered to mark the dividing line between pre-modern and modern Bengali literature. Datta’s masterpiece is now accessible to readers of English in Clinton Seely’s elegant translation, which captures both the sense and the spirit of the original. The poem is supplemented by an extensive introduction, notes, and a glossary.

    @farid Mia, A personal request,can you please find out why your family converted to Islam. I am revising my long held beleif that it was due to oppression by the forebearers of ashish(bramhins).
    having re read nirad choudhuri again , I am thinking there may be an another reason.according to nirad choudhuri, most of the peasants in bangladesh , are ethnically migrants from THAILAND,and they didn’t have any particular beleif , as the “raw sewage of hell”(bramhins) were TOTALLY INDIFFERENT to these people , the TSUNAMI OF PROSELYTISATION which must have has DHAKA’S NAWAB’S full blessing is probably more plausible reason for this MASS CONVERSION.Your honest answer will be appreciated.

    In today’s NY Times about Germany’s fear about Salafi extremists and the threat they pose to germany..

    ” the German interior mi nistry ordered simultaneous raids in three states on Tuesday against Salafist networks suspected of seeking the imposition of an ISlamic state. The action signaled growing concern over the radical messages of some Islamic groups.

    The raids in Berman, Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Wesphalia , were linked to……waring of a pending Mumbai style attack, the interior ministry said.

    The ministry said the raids were directed at two groups” Invitation to Paradise and the Islamic Culture Center. The two groups work together and share the same ideology.

    Here is an important dimension — “the raids appeared to represent a departure for the German authorities in treir dealings with radical Muslim groups. Theyw ere conducted under the authority of postwar laws enaxcted with an eye top the NAzis to prevent the overthrow of teh state or Constitution by extremist groups. The ministry’s statement emphasized this shift in approach – for a well-fortified democracy, it is necessary and demanded , without waiting for the jihad to occur in the form of armed struggle, to take action against anti-constitutional organization.s ” .

    the statement said the groups were suspected of opposing constitutional order by seeking to “overthrow it in favour of an Islamic theo carcy’. They do have the aim to change Germany and make it Islamic…both have called for the implemntation of Sharia law..”

    Indians should be vigilant. The salafis are organizing with Saudi money to kill and maim and spread the Islamic terror..

    Some of the information received from the raids here in Kerala in connection with the hand-chopping of the Christian professor (by Muslim extremists) parallels what German authotities found in Germany.

    Just like the authorities there talked about the salafist plan to make Germany a Muslim/Sharia country; the chief minister of Kerala, Achuthanandan, not a Congress/BJP Brahmin, but a backward caste Marxist, stated that the evidence gathered from the raids into the offices of the PFI members (who chopped the professor’s hand) clearly point to making Kerala Islamic Sharia satte and then carving out Keralal from India.

    Hindu India as world’s most violent state
    OUR CORRESPONDENT

    Bangalore: “Hindu India” is advertised as a land flowing with milk and honey, wedded to peace and non-violence where Budha, Gandhi reigned and made it a model for the whole world to follow.

    This is pure propaganda — bullshit. The facts of history are entirely different.

    In this so-called “secular democratic” India, pogroms against all the three significant “minority communities” like the Muslims (15%), Christians and Sikhs (2.5% each) are a daily dose.

    Why Muslims opted for partition: The very partition of India (1947) took place because the then dominant Muslim community, which had a sizeable population in the undivided India and ruled this country for 800 to 1,000 years, said it could no longer live with the hate-mongering Brahminical Hindu rulers and opted for Pakistan.

    During the partition riots Muslims were recklessly slaughtered. The undivided Punjab, which was a predominantly Muslim-majority state, witnessed the worst violence against Muslims (Dr. Sarfraz H. Mirza, Hindu-Muslim Confrontation, 2009, Lahore, photocopy available Rs. 125).

    Gujarat genocide: “Independent” India’s first biggest bout of violence against Muslims occurred in a well-planned attack during the Babri Masjid demolition. Thousands died.

    The second biggest was the massacre of 2,500 Muslims in what became famous as the “Gujarat Genocide” (2002).

    The massacre of over 12,000 Sikhs (men, women and children) was ordered at the instance of a great Hindu Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi, when she sent Army tanks into the Golden Temple, Amritsar in 1982. (V.T. Rajshekar, Turmoil in Punjab, DSA-2010).

    The killing of Sant Bhindranwale and his band of dedicated Sikh disciples was well-planned by the Brahminic leadership to break the backbone of Sikhs, and dub them as terrorists so that the domination of brave Sikhs in the Indian army is once for all finished.

    The Indian army today is an all-Hindu affair fully, mired in corruption.

    Christians (2.5%), the most peace-loving among the three minority communities, got a wonderful taste of the Hindu ahimsa in Orissa.

    Only the violence against non-Hindu “minorities” are detailed above. The violence of the Hindu rulers against their own “Hindu” SC/ST/BCs (65%) is a daily affair. But the only difference is this violence is inflicted in a most non-violent way.

    And yet our Hindu heroes go on boasting of their non-violence. No. Hindu India is the world’s most violent state.

    PATHAN KA JAWAB _ ALI SHAN KE NAAM

    Sleeping with the Goddess

    BY SHELLY NGO WITH SANJAY SOJWAL

    Each year in India, thousands of girls are dedicated to a temple goddess in a ceremony that begins a lifetime of prostitution.

    Through the whitewashed arches of the Uligamma temple, Durgamma proudly marches toward the banks of India’s Thungabadra river. Today is the girl’s wedding day. The eyes of her relatives, friends, and neighbors are fixed on the 12 year-old bride.

    Close to an overhead bridge spanning the Thungabadra, a priest accepts the goat brought by Durgamma’s family. With a quick stroke of a blade, he sacrifices the animal to the temple goddess Uligamma. The goat’s blood drips into the river where hundreds of worshippers are bathing.

    Durgamma patiently submits. to her women relatives who apply a sandalwood paste to her body and bathe her in the river. After they dress her in a white sari and blouse, she listens to the high caste priest chant and pray in Sanskrit, the ancient language of Hindu scriptures, which none in the crowd understands. As his prayers conclude, the priest sprinkles a yellowish mixture of turmeric paste and water over her head and she feels the refreshingly cool liquid trickle clown her head and back.

    Durgamma walks up to the temple where a priest puts a glittering string of red and white beads strung on saffron colored thread around her neck. No groom, however, comes to meet this bride. Instead Durgamma is wed to the temple goddess, and her life will be spent as a devadasi, a temple prostitute. Today, Uligamma’s spirit, the priests teach, has entered Durgamma’s body; for the rest of her life, when priests and other men sleep with her, it is not Durgamma, but the goddess they are sleeping with. It is the goddess’s desires the men must appease.

    “This simple word, ‘devadasi’ says Dr. I.S. Gilada, one of India’s most prominent AIDS activists and an honorary secretary of the Indian Health Organization, “is a label which condemns 5,000 to 10,000 girls every year into a life of sexual servitude (concubinage) and subsequently into prostitution.

    Despite India’s government law forbidding the practice of temple prostitution, the centuries old religious tradition continues. To understand the mentality that permits this sexual exploitation, one has only to think of those in Western societies who are enthralled with the idea of sleeping with models, sport heroes or other celebrities. Young devadasís are regarded by some as deities, and then discarded when they grow old.

    Although devadasis are not prevalent across the country, most men know where to find them. In the south.central state of Karnataka alone, one of six states in India, there are an estimated 100,000 devadasis. A few are paid to stay close to the temple to sleep with priests or other men their parents have struck an agreement with. Some return to their homes to be auctioned off as mistresses for as long as men will have them. Most of them wind up in the brothels of india’s major cities.

    World Vision supports the efforts of people such as Dr. Gilada who are working to eliminate the devadasi system in India. For women already dedicated, World Vision has started two programs in the southern city of Bellary to give devadasis a second chance.

    A CENTURIES-OLD CYCLE

    After the dedication ceremony, Durgamma’s father, Huligappa, instructed the little girl to go to a small room in the temple where a man would be waiting for her.

    “When I told him I was very scared, he scolded me and reminded me that this man had given me silver toe rings, a nose ring, bangles, gold earrings, a sari, and a blouse,” Durgamma says. In order to be the first man to sleep with her, the man paid for these gifts, made donations to the temple priests, and paid for the family’s travel by train from Bellary to the temple in Munnirabad, located 200 miles northwest of Bangalore, the state capital of Karnataka.

    After that evening, the man lived with Durgamma in her father’s home for two years before packing his clothes one day and leaving without a word to her. Since then, Durgamma’s father has arranged about 20 paramours for her, relationships lasting from a week to two years.

    “Whenever I look at married women my age carrying their children, walking by their husband’s side, I think of myself, my life, and my future, and something deep down in me snaps, and I feel like crying,” says Durgamma, who at 25 is considered old for a devadasi.

    References to devadasis, which literally means “god’s servants,” are found in Hindu scriptures dating back 4,000 years. Then, devadasis cleaned the temples, kept the temple bells, and performed ritual dances to appease the gods and goddesses. The earliest devadasis were virgins who pledged to remain celibate, but over the years the state began supporting devadasis, and the girls became mistresses to the kings.

    With the onslaught of Muslim Moguls from the north, the Hindu empire declined in the 16th century, and the devadasis lost their royal patronage. No longer virgins, devadasis had few marriage prospects, so they turned to prostitution to earn a living.
    For now, Durgamma lives in a village on the outskirts of Bellary in a wood and bamboo, clay plastered hut. Bellary, with a population of 200,000, is the hub for Uligamma worshipers and devadasis. Every respectable father in India is expected to marry off his daughter, but in this area, dedicating one’s daughter to the temple is almost as acceptable.

    Had she married, Durgamma would look after her in-Iaws according to India’s customs. But by making Durgamma a devadasi, her father, a farm laborer who earns less than 15 rupees a day, does not have to raise the 20,000 ($667) necessary for a dowry and marriage expenses. Also, he does not have a son to support him in his old age, so he will take his pension from the men who sleep with Durgamma.

    There are other reasons why, in northern Karnataka alone, an estimated 3,000 devadasi dedications take place each May. Devadasis’ mothers dedicate their daughters to appease the gods, fearful that they will be stricken with diseases or poverty if they don’t. Sometimes pregnant mothers vow to dedicate their first born daughter to a goddess if she will grant the mother a son or even a safe delivery.

    PREYING ON THE UNTOUCHABLES

    Despite the fact that most devadasi girls are “untouchables,” from the lowest caste in India, the priests do not hesitate to sleep with the young girls – some have not even reached puberty. The priests prey on the poor, telling parents that dedicating their daughters to the temple will help family members be reincarnated as high caste Brahmins in their next life. And they offer family members of devadasis the right to enter sacred temples normally closed off to the lower castes.

    Rich landowners also exploit the poor by paying for a girl’s dedication in exchange for the right to spend the first few nights with her. The money often includes large loans to parents as an incentive to dedicate their daughters.

    Temple prostitution is a practice enmeshed in religious traditions, but it’s a “spirituality that has no roots in the idea of human beings created in the image of God,” says Sam Kamaleson, a native of India and vice president for World Vision International. “It’s a spirituality where the Holy Spirit, clarifying a person’s identity so that they can be known as a son or daughter of God, is alien.”

    India’s government is attempting to end the practice. But its 1982 law, which imposes a five-year prison sentence and a 5,000-rupee fine for parents of relatives who dedicate a girl to a temple, is difficult to enforce. Remote villagers remain ignorant of laws handed down in city centers hundreds of miles away. And in the major cities, some of the very politicians who make the rules keep devadasi mistresses themselves. Many who know of the law stubbornly cling to old superstitions to justify their decisions.

    Temple prostitution is perpetuated by poverty as well. Many devadasis have between five and eight children usually by different men. Often the boys leave their mothers as soon as they are grown. A devadasi’s career is over by the time she is 35 and, too old to attract men, she is faced with the option of begging on the streets or dedicating her daughters as a devadasi.
    Bebamma was 13 when her mother, Kenchamma, dedicated her three years ago. “It was a mistake, but what could I do,” Kenchamma says. “I had no male child.

    “I feel sorry for my daughter and wonder what her future will be, but I had no money to get her married. Anyway, who would have married a devadasi’s daughter?”

    On the night of her dedication and for the following three nights, Bebamma slept with a 40 year-old temple priest “I was scared,” she says, “but they gave me toddy (palm liquor) and I was not aware of what was happening. I didn’t feel anything.”

    Bebamma, now 16, wears red bangles and an old, faded gray-colored sari, most likely her only one. Her pierced ears remain bare – the earrings were probably sold to meet some expense. She lives in a thatched roofed hut in Bapuji Nagar, 40 miles from the Uligamma temple. It is said that devadasis have lived in this area for centuries.

    One-room stone houses line the dirt road, and open sewage gutters run along each side. An unusually high number of children for such a small area play outside in garbage-littered streets.

    Bebamma’s men have come and gone in the past three years, offering only sporadic and inadequate support. To make ends meet she has tried to earn money weaving cotton and carrying cotton bales. A cotton shortage, however ended that source of income. Then she began begging for food to feed herself, her mother, and her 3-year-old daughter, Gangamma, who is malnourished.

    Like most devadasi children, Gangamma was delivered at home by a midwife. Despite the high rate of sexually transmitted diseases among these women, few go for any medical treatment Government hospitals are supposed to provide free care, but doctors will often postpone treatment until they receive money. Another reason women hesitate to go to a hospital is that they feel awkward discussing their problems with mostly male doctors, or they simply don’t understand that delaying a hospital visit can result in death.

    DOOR TO A NEW LIFE

    Across from Bebamma’s hut is a government high school that few bother to attend. Next to the school is a small building. The sign out front advertises: “Sahaya Community Development Project”. Started by World Vision in 1989, the Sahaya project is one of two programs for devadasi women in this region; the other is a Women in Development program, opened in 1993. The one and-a-half-room office for the Sahaya project, which is slightly bigger than some of the devadasis’ homes, is a door to another world for the women of Bapuji Nagar.

    The front room is stark with its unwhitewashed waIls, but it is clean, and a nurse sitting behind a. steel table is neatly dressed. In just 10 months on the job, Nurse J. Paramjyothi, 21, has earned the trust of devadasis who feel comfortable telling their health problems to another woman.

    “The overall health problems of the devadasis can be expected to be about the same as those of other child prostitutes,” says Dr. Eric Ram, director of International Health for World Vision. “Nearly nine out of 10 girls are dedicated to be devadasis at or before the age of 10. Apart from the physical assault on the body, these girls, and young women also, suffer from psychological trauma and social castigation, which are equally if not more difficult to deal with.”

    Next to Nurse Paramjyothi is a cupboard stocked with the most commonly needed drugs, which she dispenses to the steady stream of local women who enter the clinic throughout the morning. In the afternoon, she leaves the clinic to visit women and children in their homes to follow up on special cases.

    “Diarrhea, cholera, and typhoid infected wounds are very common among the children,” the nurse says. “Malaria is also common, because stagnant water and blocked sewage gutters are fertile ground for mosquito breeding.”

    She conducts meetings for the devadasis, teaching them about cleaning the areas around their homes and where their children play. She explains that drinking polluted water leads to dysentery, typhoid, and cholera. “But the most important thing,” she says, “that I have only recently started teaching them is about AIDS and how to reduce the risk of contracting the disease.”

    Few of the devadasis know about AIDS, a scourge spreading rapidly through this country. Dr. C. Johannes van Dam of the World Health Organization in Delhi estimates that there were 1 million to 1.5 million HIV-positive cases in India in mid-1994
    .
    A low partition separates the “clinic” from an area where 15 young women sit cutting cloth, sewing, and weaving plastic-wired baskets. Among them sits Bebamma, who has been in the project’s training course for a year. When she completes the course, she’ll be able to sell her handicrafts and earn up to 20 rupees a day – the same salary most men earn as carpenters, masons, or truck drivers.

    So far, the project has given 22 sewing machines to women who have completed the course and now earn a regular source of income by sewing. Through the Sahaya program, World Vision has also provided the women with vending carts and small shops to help eliminate the economic need to sell their bodies.

    Seeing to economic and health needs are only part of World Vision work with devadasis; there are spiritual needs to meet as well.

    “Memory of the past is a very difficult thing to erase.” says Kamaleson, who also directs World Vision pastors’ conferences around the globe. “With that memory comes shame and guilt – both of them, the gospel says, should not be our property. But God is a covenant God who walks back into our situation to restore dignity, and hence we can live as transformed people.

    “World Vision is there for these women, to be the Christian symbol of Jesus walking with them as their restored owner.”

    World Vision ministers to devadasi women through the work of the Rev. Sathyam and the Rev. G. Peter of the Assemblies of God church. “When a devadasi is dedicated to a goddess, once in a while the woman’s body is possessed,” says Sathyam, whose sister was possessed. To appease the goddess, Sathyam’s Hindu father killed 100 buffalos, but the spirit refused to leave the girl. One day an evangelist carne to Sathyam’s house to pray for his sister and cast out her demon. This was the event that led him to receive Christ and commit himself to serving God.

    God led Sathyam to Bellary, where he has been working with devadasis for 13 years, praying with them and telling them about Christ

    Every Sunday he conducts a church service for 300 people – almost half are former devadasis.

    THE NEXT GENERATION

    A few feet away from the tailoring center, Gangamma is one of 50 scrubbed-faced children sitting on the floor repeating after her teacher, “‘a’ for apple, ‘b’ for ball …” They wear clean clothes and their oiled hair is neatly combed into place. Later the youngest ones sing songs while the older children work on their reading and writing. Three World Vision child care centers in the area provide devadasi children with a nutritious lunch and protein-enriched snacks in the evening.

    In the past, if Gangamma got sick, her mother would have attributed it to a curse from the gods. But today, more knowledgeable mothers are shaping a new course for their children. They look to women such as Hanumakka. president of a women’s neighborhood Committee and a strong supporter of World Vision’s work among devadasis. Hanumakka’s mother-in-Iaw is a devadasi, yet Hanumakka’s daughters were married instead of dedicated to the goddesses. “Nothing has happened to me or my daughters,” Hanumakka tells them. “Life is full of joys and sorrows. If someone falls sick or is poor. it is not because of the goddess. Why should you dedicate your daughters to this evil practice?”

    Slowly, the changes occur. Women like Bebamma see a chance for a different life. “I don’t want my daughter to be like me,” Bebamma says. “I want to send her to school. I will never dedicate her to the goddess.”

    DEKHO DEKHO YEH GHINOWNI HARKAT KARNE WALO SUB HE RAVI JAISAY CHUNNUT (CIRCUMCISED) HAIN, here is a cut and paste from Times of India
    EW DELHI: A day after a 16-year-old girl, who had gone missing from Balikhal village in South 24-Parganas more than a year ago, was rescued from Begumpur in northwest Delhi, the tale of her ordeals left cops stunned.

    The girl reportedly told her counsellor Rashi Aditi Ghosh that she did not want to return to her home. “She fears that she be might be physically abused by her father who had once threatened to marry her,” claimed Rishikant, a social activist from the Shakti Vahini who helped cops in tracing the girl.

    Rishikant claimed that the girl has told investigators that she was happy in Delhi with Kadir who had “married” her after “buying” her from Azhar, leader of a trafficking gang. Azhar was arrested by the cops on Wednesday midnight after a shootout. Ghosh revealed on Friday that she accompanied her sister-in-law Jasmira on April 15 in 2009 to a fair. “At the fair, she met Kalam, a resident of Park Street, and agreed to go with him as he promised her security from her father. On the way to Kolkata, Kalam allegedly offered her a cold drink laced with sedatives. She was brought to Delhi and sold to Azhar for Rs 6,000,” said Ghosh. A few weeks later, Kalam demanded more money from Azhar. “To avoid confrontation with Kalam, Azhar sold the girl to Kadir,” said the IO.

    Police first arrested Kalam. Azhar was nabbed after they forced Kalam to call him. “Two female members of the NGO posed as victims. While the fictitious deal was underway, Azhar got suspicious and tried to flee. But we managed to nab him,” said a senior police officer. “When we asked Azhar about the girl, he put up a lot of resistance. He yielded after two hours of questioning and called up Kadir, telling him to leave the girl at a secluded house in Begumpur. ”

    While the WIkileaks shows what the red cross thinks of Indian state use of torture in Kashmir, its interesting that in the mainstream papers what is being shown as a headline news is that “Sonia Gandhi reveals that her parents did not want her to marry Rajiv”. Obviously this is more important than the torture issue.

    Then there is much hue and cry on a tautologically true statement by Rahul Gandhi that the Hindu right wing, is arguably more dangerous in India, given the fact that Hindus are a majority and majority fundamentalism is always more dangerous than minority fundamentalism.

    Now in any honest and civilized society this should be so plain obvious, that it need not be even mentioned, however calling a society where Modi is revered, because he brings “economic progress”, as civilized would be like calling Nazi German society “Jew lovers”.

    Is’nt the danger posed by Hindu Right, the central hypothesis in “The Clash Within”. Is’nt that dismissed by some bloggers here on the grounds that Indian’s don’t need to learn anything from a firangi.

    I guess by the same Token Rajiv Gandhi is wrong too, because he is Half Firangi.

    How can one have a sensible discussion when such crass arguements are presented.

    “How can one have a sensible discussion when such crass arguments are presented.”

    Thats why they ARE presented. The whole point is to bring in absolutely meaningless points, so that the facts are not discussed.

    Majority “terror” is a hypothetical what if.. What the world is facing today – present and now – is the Islamic terrorism in all its virulent formations, destroying and killing, with its love for a culture of death, depravity and a push backwards to medival times.

    This madness coupled with the active strategic and tactical support of thei ISI and army of the failed Pakistani state poses the greatest threat faced by human beings today — that the Muslim (yes, Muslim) terrorists will get access to nuclear weapons or dirty bombs and will not hesitate to use them in the streets of Mumbai or in the boulevards of Paris or in the boroughs of New York..

    The circumcised is back without a bang. Now lets talk about wikileaks. First Red Cross.Now i cannot direct bloggers to the BBC link where you can watch past Tv programmes,it is only accessible to UK residents through Iplay, ndtv is accessible through Iapps.this was in Newsnight day before yesterday.it showed COPTIC christians in EGYPT , who mostly survive as rag pickers(now hope some moron wont be pointing to boutros Ghali , exception proves the rule) .the young girls are routinely abducted and forcibly converted to islam by recording in their national register. Now if that girlwants to “reconvert” to Christianity , she cannot. because Egypt’s constitution is FULLY SHARIA COMPLIANT, thus conversion from islam to any religion is greatest sin , punishable by death. (I have merely related the facts as i saw in the TV).
    Next is SWITZERLAND, it is stale news , but it came up in that programme, THAT SWISS HAVE BANNED BUILDING ANY MINARETS.
    Bobby would he consider avoiding geneva for his theoretical physics experiments at CERN.
    Now redcross , what was it doing at abughraib prison , what was it doing at Guantamo bay.
    So shall we start by offering a plate of BIRYANI when interrogating terrorist.
    The same Rahul baba (who above all is a thicko) said GANDHI FAMILY IF WANTS CAN PAKISTAN KO DO TUKRA KAR SAKTA HAI , JAISAY BANGLADESH ME KIYA THA.

    i personally know more than one hundred coptic christians.educationally and financially they are far better than general egyptian.boutris boutris ghali reached to this position because ofhis jewish wife.
    1.4 crores coptic christians still live in arab countries is proof of muslim tolerance.they hardly leave their country or arabic language.i have never heard of any kidnapping of their women folk.most of the right hand ceo of sheikhs are coptic.they take extremely high salaries other enoluments and bring their entire tribe in gcc countries.
    propaganda is to divide society.media is in hands of jews.they want christians to fight everybody and finish like they finshed them 2000 yrs ago.

    HINDUISM IS SWIMMING IN CORRUTION.The all-round solid support Karnataka’s most corrupt CM, Yeddyurappa, got from the entire godmen who control the Brahminic world, should once for all convince us that corruption is the other name for Brahminism.

    All these godmen are sitting on mountains of money, generously donated by all such corrupt rascals. More corruption means more money to Brahmin temples.

    Intellectual corruption: All the powerful godmen like the Pejawara Swamy, Dharmastala Hegde, “Sri Sri” Ravishankar, Shankaracharyas and the richest of the lot, Satya Sai Baba, the king of the frauds, have all blessed the CM and promised to stand by him.

    The Lingayat swamis went on a strike to defend him. Not a single Brahminic “intellectual” was so far spoken against the CM.

    What is the conclusion? Brahminism will never, ever let down its jatwala whatever may be his or her crimes. Yeddyurappa is the standing proof.

    Shan–there was a report from Clapton yesterday about a 35 yr old Muslim mother cutting the heart of her daughter listening to an MP3 of Quran and reciting some verses.. This pious woman was always in burqua; neighbors have never seen he except her eye slits!

    Any light on this? May be they should pick up this habita nd kill the male progenies so as to reduce the supply of jehadists!

    London, Dec 19 (ANI): A mother in UK has been arrested for brutally killing her four-year-old daughter as an apparent religious offering.

    Nusayba Bharuchi’s corpse was found stabbed to death in the kitchen with her heart and other organs cut out and strewn around her flat and lying next to her mother, Shayna.

    The 35-year-old woman was allegedly chanting verses of the Koran as her daughter’s disemboweled corpse lay next to her in the home in Clapton, East London, reports the Daily Mail.

    The woman had her MP3 on full blast as she listened to the Muslim holy book.

    The mother, who is understood to have two teenage children of 14 and 16, has since been sectioned under the Mental Health Act and is in a secure unit as police continued to guard the third-floor premises on the estate.

    The girl’s father, Jerome Negney, discovered the gruesome scene when he arrived home to the flat to find his partner clutching a kitchen knife.

    The man, believed to be a Muslim convert, dialed 999 and paramedics pronounced the girl dead at the scene.

    The Metropolitan Police’s Child Abuse Investigation Command is leading the murder iquiry. They are not believed to be looking for anybody else.(ANI)

    Rep Peter King, the new Chairman of Homeland Security Committe in the upcoming Republican House, is planning a hearing on American Muslims (born here as well as naturalized) – how radixcalized they are, how much of a threat, should US be worried about them like UK is worried about its Muslims, where do the loyalty lies (he does not have to do a hearing for that! ) etc.

    generally these hearings lead to new legislation – in this case it may be restrictions on immigration, monitoring of mosques etc..

    It will be an interesting discussion!

    He is planning this as soon as the congress convenes in early 2011.

    private sector is primarily driven by profits….. one cannot force them to have impose employee reservations based on caste…… A pvt sector would just care about actual ability of its potential employee rather than the caste and creed he belongs to….. if you really want to empower all sections you got to do away with reservations …… Ensure that primary education is made compulsory and a quality education is imparted to all sections of society….. Make them equally capable and let them free to compete with each other…..

    if the rahul wants to give away jobs because a person belongs to the minority or a lower class .then he would be better off giving away some of the money his mother has looted thru various scams to the tune of $900,000 crores and increasing daily,instead of asking industry to give the jobs away whether or not a person is qualified to do it or not.

    Spin away…
    Rahul speech received a lukewarm reception because it was anti-pvt sector? Or pointed out non-inclusive nature of pvt sector policies?
    It received a lukewarm response because it showed up an immature young man for what he is. It was a speech full of “huh” and “duh” moments.

    Sample these:

    - “if you can do business in India, you can do so on the moon”- Who takes credit, Mr Gandhi?

    - China’s development/ social sector progress got dismissed, rather arrogantly- “dragon”/ “simplistic place”/ lack of accountability- witness this driver who ran over pedestrians and absconded. Point??

    - Beehive – again, what was the point? That we all slog and the Queen bee grows rich?

    Anyway,
