The norms that were advocated by Brahminism were codified by as the codes of Manu. Manu is the worst kind of disease that inflicted India over many centuries and it is still haunting India. The code of the Manu, along with the host of other codes, were enforced through the force and punishment. Manu is the name evil that destroyed humanity fully and completely. If the women in India read Manu Smriti, they will not only burn the Manu Smriti but will also destroy the source of Manu: Brahminism. If the Shudras, the OBCs, read the Manu Smriti, they will at once up their revolution against it.

But the Shudras and women are so much under the spell of Brahmins that they do not know that they have been reduced nothing by the Manu Smriti and a host of Brahminical books. What they have been told is that they are part of some glorious culture. It is an inglorious culture with inhumanness at the root of it.

Babasaheb Ambedkar sketched a clear spiritual path for his people: the path of the Buddha. The Buddha not only taught the methods to liberate human minds and human societies but also destroyed Brahminism in the past and the remarkable revolution of the Buddha was countered with the counterrevolution. The Manu Smriti is the book of counterrevolution against the great revolution of the Buddha. How to counter the counterrevolution against Buddhism of the Brahmins is an important question.

The grand method is made clear this day: burn the sources of views that the larger mass of Hindus hold as dear and usher them on the path of enlightenment and freedom. The day also marks the birthday of Christ, who started his movement among the poor and wretched, himself a son of the carpenter, who knew the plights of the people firsthand. The Dalit Christians among us have the great opportunity to rediscover the spirit of Christ for the more better and human society.
