Reloading Renaissance....

Sensing anguish and frustration among some of my countrymen around me and many more in Bhaarat over the Caste Census and related reservation issues I felt it probably might be the right time to express my views and invite your comments on it.

Some of our Truth Team members are on the cusp of their college life and as if the fiasco surrounding the FYJC admissions was not enough to tick them off, the reservation issue has denied them a chance to acquire knowledge from the colleges of their choice. The 19^th century years when a social revolution took place against caste discrimination when equality was the mantra and the days today where the mask of equality is donned to hide the ugly face of caste preferences, what a stark contrast!

Just yesterday I attended a fantastic lecture by noted historian Mr. Mohan Shete on the topic “Akhanda Bhaarat” organized by Ignited Minds Movement and the division of Bhaarat along communal and caste lines was a significant part of this lecture.

It would be quite lengthy to describe it completely but he took us through our history to let us know why we fell and how we lost a lot in the process.

Before I elaborate more on this topic I would like to state that the following words are of a Bhaaratiya Chaitanya Godbole and not of a person from a particular caste, religion etc. I have friends who belong to the under privileged classes and they are dear to me.

So, Caste Census, it is finally here! It is indeed a sad moment for all of us. It is as if we are playing a game of cards and all the good cards have been dealt to the Government! The British did the same before and the tradition is going on in a supposedly independent India! I am glad that my country is not named Bhaarat at the moment on the world map as it would only truly be so when the mass awaken and realize the divisionary policies meant to fragment Hindustaan! Still, the true skill is playing the cards you have to perfection. We might not have the chunk of cards but I believe we have the few that matter the most. We have the Prime Ace, i.e. the beyond the limit will power and fearless aggression!

Better deserving students miss out on golden opportunities in the current atmosphere. For all my countrymen from the under privileged classes, do you believe what is happening is right? The Government is feeding you without the need of any efforts from your side. This certainly looks brilliant, wow! No work, all rewards! But take a time out to think, who is at loss here? It is not the government, it is you my fellow countrymen! This act results in crippling your minds and bodies so that you be foot soldiers in the vested interests of the government. The masses believe that the government cares for this class but the truth is they care for no one but themselves! Drawing a parallel to these times and those of the British, this is exactly what the British did. They set up fights and quarrels between 2 sects, castes, religions, regions and in fact 2 Bhaaratiyas! Muslim berating the Hindu; the Hindu insulting the Sikh; Brahmins terming the lower castes untouchables and discriminating against them and the Shudras retaliating against the higher classes and so on so forth– this was the general scenario. There is not much difference I see as compared to those times. Maybe the only difference is it is getting uglier, crueler and more vicious than before. This is how the British ruled us and this is how the pseudo-seculars rule us today! “Divide and Conquer” – the ancient technique of suppression is in full flow even today! This technique can be successful as long as its victims offer it support. Today all of us are the victims of this technique and we refuse to think over it. We push hard against the other class forgetting the fact that the government is setting this all up and it is their policies which must be fought against and without being any the wiser we offer our support to the divisionary tactics. It is sad that all of us fail to understand the true problem. The real problem for the higher classes is not the lower ones and vice versa but the real problem is the fuel which burns the fire. It is me and you my friends who act as part of the fuel to the matter. If a fight has to be fought it must be against the problem and not its effects. By fighting against the effects we ensure catalyst actions of the chemical reaction. If we are to condemn and criticize it must be the policies regarding this issue and its makers and not our countrymen who benefit from these selfish policies of the government. They need to be shown the light. It is our duty to help our countrymen when needed. If the last 2 sentences are also a part of our character then I say we have the right to criticize. Its duty first, right later.

 Those who have gained unfair traction due to the mass reservation at school, college and work need to be enlightened of the fact that the government is fooling them and turning them into robots for their future grandiose plans of total power over Hindustaan. They need to be aware of the wicked intentions behind these actions is not their growth, it is just about vote banks! Due to the excessive appeasement of the classes they are learning to be dependant on the government favours rather than being independent and living their lives with dignity. What is to happen if a day comes when these undue favours are halted? Would their lives collapse? Right they will if they don’t learn the trick and decide to excel on their own potential and skill. Every human being has some good quality and skill which will fetch him his living. If there has to be a reservation, it has to be for those who are not blessed with the economic status which will ensure their growth. It has to be for those who are handicapped. Such strata of society are the deserving candidates for reservation and all possible help must be extended to them.

For all my friends who miss out on such opportunities, we need to realize one thing. We will find a way to learn and to excel come what may. Why even a percentage, let there be 100% reservation. I dare them to do it and I promise we the true intellectuals will still find a way to learn and grow. Knowledge begins at school but more than 99% is imparted by life. If Life, the greatest teacher is there for all and those willing to learn from it will do so eventually.

I am aware it is quite easy to shout about being understanding and tolerant and extremely difficult to be at the receiving end of the whole quota system and yet keep fighting hard. But I am sure of one thing, the great soul always finds a way out of the problem no matter how the odds are. It is no use banging our heads against a wall or for that matter striking a cold piece of iron. If the iron has to be cut, it needs to be heated first. Berating, cursing and abusing the other class is not the tact which would work rather that helps those in power to keep their power and continue the tyranny!

If unfair caste reservations is the problem or the iron, to break it or to solve it we need to heat the iron rod first. To heat it, spread the message of equality and what it really means. Explain to one and all the true wishes of our forefathers. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar is a great example of true grit and will power pertaining to the discrimination issue. This man had the will to excel and he did it despite all odds while enduring the agony of being treated cruelly because of an unjust social tag of being an untouchable. Let all know about this great example and inspire all the classes to raise their voices against the caste system. All the classes need to be 1 while dealing against this social curse. By shooting a tirade against the classes in general the issue is being heated at the wrong end and it will only result in further downgrading of our social fabric. Babasaheb Ambedkar had advocated a reservation system but for just 5 years after Independence. I ask every Bhaaratiya whether he/she be against reservation or for it, are we truly living the life such great men aspired for us? Is this what they would want to be in the sacred land of Hindustaan? Aa Sindhu, Sindhu Rashtra! We all are Bhaaratiyas, we all are Hindustaanis. We all need to be one to abolish such injustice. If one man with the steely mettle could effect a change in the heart of Brahmin settlement of Ratnagiri and throw open the doors of the temple for the dalits why can’t we all come together and display the same fortitude? The man being Swatantryaveer Savarkar....

So to speak, many would say there are two sides and great examples from either are mentioned above but I don’t think so. Yes, there are two sides but both these men, Savarkar and Ambedkar belong to the same side. Both of them fought against the caste system and not against the people. Similarly, all of us need to realize that we belong to the same side, the side of Hindustaan, the side of the Hindus (To know the definition of the word 'Hindu' read my blog Not for Christ) and we need to fight against the thoughts and actions pulling down our great nation. Against them, we go to war and not amongst ourselves. These are the 2 sides, one for Bhaarat and the other against!

History is evidence enough of what happens when the mass awake and join hands irrespective of their classes, castes and religions. It is also an evidence of the fact that the black days one has to live through if divided along these lines.

My friends , history is one of the greatest kingdoms to learn one's mistakes and improve on them. It is the library which provides advice when needed and inspiration always. It has already happened many times in the past that we have been defeated because of the fact that we were not 1. Remember the Greeks? The Moghuls? The British? How can we forget this easily? Twice the same mistake is a crime. If this statement is to be believed them we have been committing crime for the past 2500 years! Time to change the trend and eradicate, exterminate and finish anti-nationalism absolutely!

What about the great visionaries like Chanakya, Shivaji Maharaj, Savarkar, Vivekananda, Bose, Bhagat Singh and many many more going into an infinite series?!!

Heat the Iron rod and it will reduce in strength and soften. Attack the real problem and its effects will cease 

automatically.

I see many options ahead of us. I mentioned them earlier and the war can be fought on multiple fronts to have a better attack. Let us identify these fronts, my friends.

If our dear nation is not to sink into the abyss once more all of us Bhaaratiyas must continue heating the rod till the time dawns when we can strike hard and break the iron shackles of fear, lust, selfishness, cowardice, injustice and falsehood to live free and take the gigantic leap to the skies of Super Power Bhaarat.

You and me, my friends, the youth of this nation which is estimated to be the greatest in number by 2020 need to stand up to live...

Hindustaan today needs a mass awakening to the Renaissance, a Rebirth, a Revolution of thoughts, attitude and actions..... 

Jai Hind!
