Recently there was a tweet from journalist Rana Ayyub, which talked about the morality of India in the times of Corona and she mentioned what is left for Corona to kill in the morally corrupt nation. Suddenly along with right-wingers, secular and liberal Brahmins lost their mind and these Joshi, Chaturvedi, Sharma, all felt so insecure that they all started attacking the journalist on Twitter as if they knew such content is threatening to their hegemony. We all know what kind of ideology and caste groups are destroying the country’s morality.

Do I have to say it is Brahminism and Brahmins?

This incident also shows how there is nothing like a liberal Brahmin or liberal Hindu, centralist or Marxist etc. Even Dr Ambedkar had said almost a century ago that, it is futile to make a distinction among liberal and orthodox Brahmins. They all work for Brahminism. They all are slaves to their master (RSS), who has given them privileged life because of there Brahmin privileges. Hence, Brahmins only work for propagating Brahminical ideology and serving the interests of Brahmins.

There has been a united effort by all so-call upper castes whenever there is any threat to their dominance. To give an example, all so-called upper-caste singers, actors such as Lata Mangeshkar, Dixit etc, all turn their minds whenever any challenge comes to Brahminism. These people have achieved the position they are because of upper caste privileges enshrined to them Hindu caste system. All of them speak and propagate Brahminism but unfortunately, most of their audience is Bahujan. We all get manipulated through their tricks and therefore become slaves of Brahminism.

Bahujans should keep a record of views held by these casteist artists, corporations, politicians. Watching Brahmanised TV channels, series, movies, buying albums of these morally corrupt artists and using the products from companies, which have spoken against reservation and equality, is like we fund our own genocide as the money they collect is used for horrendous crimes on us.

Manipulation and tricking Bahujans is also done by imposing Brahminism through TV and movies by glorifying Brahmin rituals (which are irrational), regarding Bahujan characters, showing Bahujans in a bad light, and such showing false ideas make Bahujans prone to think how superior Brahmins are, hence imposing Brahminical supremacy.

Misusing and misquoting Phule-Ambedkar for their propaganda and agenda, these so-called upper castes with Brahminical mindset try to capitalize on our icons and our work. They steal, plagiarize, and publish works of Dalit-Bahujans, claiming it is theirs, but Brahmins and Brahminism are surviving and thriving on Bahujans labour. Phule-Ambedkar ideology is completely opposite to what these Brahmins project day in and day out on social media, in an attempt to fulfil their ulterior motives. We must challenge such attempts and fight against all those trying to appropriate Dalit-Bahujan icons.

With their attempts, these Brahmins create a feeling of animosity among Dalit-Bahujans, creating conflicts among us. They infiltrate our ghettos and make us entangled in hating each other. In such attempts, the role of so-called liberal upper caste intellectuals can not be ignored. They are the one most responsible, disguised in the cloths of messiah they are the real wolves and are at the forefront of creating and maintaining Brahminical hegemony, leading to Bahujans’ oppression.

We must pledge to uproot Brahminism as advised by Babasaheb Ambedkar. Do not fall prey to Brahminism and understand their tricks to enslave us. Fight back!
