It must be realised that early around the 16th century when missionaries from Europe first set foot in India people just thought they were benign foreigners fromacross the world just like the people from many religions that Bharatha Kaandam or the land of Bharatha had assimilated as their own. The first missionaries even wore kavi or saffron colored clothesto show that they were men of god and gain acceptance in society. This is a fact as per the first portuguese travellers who came to India and landed in Goa. Now, we think the color saffron is anafront to our existence. Anyways, when the portuguese who were the first european - english missionaries who were to land in India tried to talk about Christ, no one paid attention to them. They thenrealised that they have to set camp in India and raise their own people who believe in Christ as the Almighty. But the problem was that in those days, travel through the oceans were difficult, therewas the problem of diseases like scurvy which killed more than 60 percent of the travellers. So if a party started from portugal with 200 men, only about 60 returned. Therefore, they took up maritalassociation with the local women and had children. Unfortunately, this did not work quite in the manner in which they expected it to. Because when they returned from their travels to and fromportugal they realised that their children were grown up without any proper Christ related activities like Baptism, Christening, Confirmation or Communion. Thus these women and the children werecalled as "caste" children or "caste" women - children and women of impure blood. This is how the word caste entered our Bharatha kaanda and from there the poison spread. Now, we ourselves shout atthe top of our lungs that Hinduism is synonymus with Caste System and we should kill it like dengue, malaria and mosquito. Unfortunately none of us realise that we had lived for eons togetherpeacefully with the same varnasrama system and we had also co-habitated with numerous other religions. But this poisonous parasite was a different breed. While the muslim invaders merely took womenby force and threatened death for not converting, the new breed of invaders used their intellect to make us feel bad about ourselves, denigrate ourselves and feel that if we did not were a propershirt and trousers we were not 'good'. No more dhoties. Till date we look upon respectfully at a man dressed in a shirt and trousers whereas a dhoti clad man gets little respect.
So how did the invaders achieve their goal of us denigrating ourselves? They setup a linguistic or language study fund to study our languages and learnt how tobelittle them. They invested a total of 5 lakh rupees in the 17th century for this study. If you think this is a lie, you are in for a surprise. Just like Babar incriminated himself permanently bywriting in his Babar nama that there was a Ram Temple in Ayodhya which he destroyed, you will find details of this investment in the libraries of britain and also in goa. They realised that thebrahmins were central to hinduism and if they uprooted the respect that the Indian society had for brahmins, they will be able to make the people hate their own religion and fall in line with themissionaries and convert away. Thus started the story of caldwell and others.
It is now more than 75 years since the invaders left our country and we became independent but we are still spreading the lies that they taught us about ourselves. Westill believe that the brahmins are the enemy. The brahmins who were the gatekeepers of vedic wisdom for centuries together and guided the Indian kings and Indian people to eons of happiness andprosperity were suddenly a pariah in their own community. Even today we teach our children what the invaders wanted us to believe about ourselves. It is sad to see what todays textbooks say aboutbrahmins and varna asrama. It is openly para-phrased that brahmins control the hierarchy to keep shudras at the base of the ladder. There is also this story of brahmins coming from the head of ourgod and shudras coming from the feet. From where did we get this story?? To this question, many people quip that it is written in manu smriti texts. Is it really? Do you realise that manu smriti iswritten in sanskrit and none of us know sanskrit today? Please sit down and ask yourselves, can you anwer the sanskrit question "Bhavathaha naama kim?" Please. Please sit down and think if you knowwhat I have written here.. it is one of the most basic sentences. When we do not know this how can we claim to know what is written in literary marvels like manu smriti? As I started to learnsankrit, I am learning a lot of things about our language and our heritage. Do you know that sanskrit is one of the simplest languages but can also be made so complex that the same sentence can meandifferent things? There is a sanskrit verse which talks about Lord Rama's face when his father asks him to leave the kingdom. When properly read, this verse suggests that his face was like thefreshly blossomed lotus, but for the uneducated person, he will misread it as the anus of a monkey through which a wedge was driven. This is primarily because of the metrics used in reading asentence and also the multiple meanings that a word can take when a very small change is made to how they are pronounced. You think I am lieing? Please read sanskrit for yourself and see. You cancontact the nearest samskritha bharathi and ask them if you can attend their 10 day spoken sanskrit class or shibiram. Once you learn to speak basic sanskrit through this class, people in samskrithabharathi will help you learn the language from the basics.
Coming back to our hatred for brahmins and how this is spread right across our society let us see what is given in the textbooks that we ask our children to read.Please read the page in the below picture from the textbook our children read. Why are we spreading such hatred towards the brahmins who have guarded our society and vedic knowledge for so long? Doyou know for a fact that brahmins ensure that the shudras are always downtrodden.. Yes there are caste related clashes right across the country but have you - you - personally seen a brahmincommunity involved in the caste clashes.. it will always be someone like mukkulathor or devars or someone else. Think carefully, do you know that brahmins force scheduled castes to be downtrodden orhas this been drilled into your head like this is being drilled into our childrens heads now? We have to realise the deviousness of the invaders and their masterful assassination of our society andlivelyhood. We have to start respecting ourselves and our culture. No. I am not saying start respecting brahmins immediately. But what I am saying is ... read sanskrit.,, read what is written in ourliterature, read the slokas and understand them instead of trying to decipher shakespeare and you wiill one day call india as Bharath.
