DALITS  AND  GUJARAT

 

 

We can’t trust these politicians

Can never believe their words;

They can go too far any extent,

Will do anything for the seats

Save their position and powers

Win elections again to retain

And or come back to power!

 

Gujarat is burning.  Why some ask.  There is genocide of Muslims.  It is good some say.  It is very good others say.  It is unfortunate some feel.  It is so shameful that we can’t show our face to outside World some others weep.  Many are silent but feel happy within themselves.  Some try to justify it.  Some others theorize and explain it away.  Some want to make a mark by studying or trying to understand something of academic interest in this massive human tragedy.  Some are busy taking stock of the numbers - the numbers of people dead, houses burnt, businesses destroyed, infants butchered, children orphaned, and women raped.  Still others are trying to strike in the death and loss suffered by the Muslims and hindus, an equitable balance.  But rarely anyone squarely condemns the fascist violence of looting, killing and rape, specifically targeted against the minority Muslim individuals and Communities.  Those behind these crimes, as well as those involved in them should be publicly hauled up in Criminal Courts.  But today none appear to be coming forward to bring these criminal murderers and rapists to justice.  None is trying to highlight and project the real tragedy to at least shock this Nation into shame and repentance.  Still there are others who strut the streets and give interviews to the media shamelessly, either defending or trying to cover up the unpardonable crimes against humanity.

 

What is happening in Gujarat violently on a mass State wide scale, and in many other parts of the Country silently or as isolated small incidents are in fact meticulously conceived Pogroms and planned Genocide.  The small incidents and isolated acts in other parts of the Country are to serve as warning and threats to all the Minority Communities in the Country.  They are aimed to coerce the Minorities into silence and submission before the irresponsible shallow arrogant hindu fundamentalists.  This is done to hoist, reinforce, strengthen, retain and continue the hindu fascists in power.  They are all planned in micro-detail, to the smallest aspect.  They are cleverly and carefully aimed at destroying the Muslims’ economic strength and business activities. They deserve to be condemned in the strongest terms possible, without fearing anyone or sparing any.  Sadly, none seem to be prepared to take necessary steps to launch publicly criminal prosecution of all those involved in these directly or indirectly.  Also, those who had deliberately or otherwise allowed the situation to deteriorate, and go out of control to rage for weeks and months, by their actions, inactions and indifference, need to be publicly punished.  All Heroes who had been sleeping or dozing or fiddling while Gujarat was being burnt and the Muslims were butchered and their women were raped should be hauled up to the Criminal Courts in the Country, as well as in International Courts, and other Fora like the War Tribunals.  Their punishments should be severe and exemplary that none in future could even think of them even in their wildest dreams.

 

Gujarat, and the involvement of Tribals and other Dalits in the looting, burning and killing of the Muslims have to be seen in the light of some specific disturbing facts events and occurrences.

 

1.      None in this Country, however low or high in this Country likes or is willing to accept either the SC Dalits or the ST Dalits.

2.      SC&ST Dalits are always in a deliberate manner being pushed to the bottom of the Social, Cultural, Economic, Educational, Political Hierarchy of the Country

3.      SC&ST Dalits are at the bottom of the Caste hierarchy, though they actually do not belong to the hindu society.  This when the brahminical system do not want to either recognise or accept the SC&ST Dalits even today in any sphere of life.  They in fact refuse to treat them as humans.

4.      The DCHs are unable to use freely and easily the OBCs against SC&ST Dalits, to oppress the later and take advantage of the emerging socio-political and cultural and economic situations

5.      Unable to keep the OBCs busy oppressing the SC&ST Dalits, and the SC&ST Dalits suppressed to rule the Country

6.      Acceptance and Part-Implementation of Mandal Commission has almost eliminated the OBCs from being the tools of brahminical society to suppress the SC&ST Dalits.  Thus the DCHs are now unable to keep the masses of both the OBCs and SC&ST Dalits busy, and engage them in fighting each other endlessly

7.      SC&ST Prevention of Atrocities Act 1989, had increasingly inspired them onto the road of using the SC&ST Dalits themselves in committing atrocities against other SC/ST Dalits or SC/ST Dalit Communities, to escape prosecution

8.      All Minorities like Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs etc in this Country, are looked down denigratingly and condescendingly as their forefathers were mostly SC&ST Dalits or Most Backward Classes who had left the brahminical society to escape hindu atrocities on them

9.      Muslims are at the end of Indian Social System, unwanted and shunned, if not hated

10.  Muslim Elites in India were once the Rulers and Nobles, who today have to toe the line of many of their subjects

11.  Muslims, once conquerors of the World are today wounded tigers, an helplessly chained society World over, almost powerless and badly divided due to various factors

12.  Since 1969, no Elections in India were fought and won in a really free and fair manner.  They were all held under emotionally charged atmospheres, like Bangladesh Wars, Indo-Pakistan Wars, Kargil Massacre, Killings and Violence after Indira Gandhi’s Murder, Emotional Sweep in the wake of Rajiv Gandhi’s Assassination, Coimbatore Bomb Blast etc etc, that the ruling parties and combinations are always fishing for such extraneous and extraordinary occurrences, or are planning for such big incidents.  They all want to ascend to power and position over the blood and tears of people.

 

Apart from these, the Gujarat Carnage is clearly aimed at –

 

1.      Ethnically cleaning Gujarat free from Muslims and other Minorities

2.      Dividing the Nation and the People

3.      Dividing the SC&ST Dalits and Muslims, particularly the SC&ST Dalits.  That is hindu conspiracy, and brahmins’ victory

4.      Bringing the SC&ST Dalits under the full and complete influence of the hindus under brahmanic control

5.      Instigating the SC&ST Dalits to commit atrocities against Minorities like the Christians, Muslims and Sikhs

6.      Encouraging the poor SC&ST Dalits to attack Muslim Households, Shops and Business, with money, liquor and lure of carrying home the loot

7.      Targeting soon the SC&ST Dalits for attack, once the SC&ST Dalits are completely alienated from other Minorities including Christians, Muslims and Sikhs

8.      Developing within the Nation, an autonomous hindu State of Gujarat

9.      Establishing an hindu world centre in Gujarat

10.  May be producing and exporting hindu fundamentalists to other States and Countries.  The later was clearly indicated by a cowradish wolf in an TV Interview, as a personal opinion and not that of the Govt or a Central Minister

11.  Bringing back the evil Manu, criminal manusmrithi and cruel manudharma

12.  Using both the OBCs and Dalits to fight the Minorities, away from any pursuit for power, since the OBCs are no more easily or freely available to waste their times in fighting with SC&ST Dalits as a main vocation

13.  The DCHs want to capture and completely take-over Muslim Trade, Business, Properties, Lands and Houses; and Christian Educational Institutions and Hospitals

 

      Dalits were always in an unenviable position in Gujarat.  The DCHs of all shades, always kept SC Dalits and ST Dalits at bay.  They were left at a safe distance, and away from each other.  The right of Centre Congress or the rightists including the extreme varieties, communalists and fascists were no different when it came to SC&ST Dalits.  Confronted with SC&ST Dalit Demands, they always acted in an irresponsible manner, and often reacted irrationally and violently.  This was so right from the days of Gandhi and Vallabhai Patil.  There was no difference what so ever whether they had to deal with Jinnah or Ambedkar.
