Thanks, repression for recognising our labour, otherwise reformists had reduced our work to pick-pickers (like rag pickers). This great nation has ‘Freedom of abuse’ and supported by human right groups, NGOs, secularists, socialists, communists, Islamist, Missionaries, liberal-tolerant brigade, ‘tukde-tukde-gang, award wapsi gang and etc etc.
Yes, people brand me high caste whose puja-Ghar is his bungalow and divine space. We can't afford huge government grant like NGOs and branded university-based farce of activism. Whomever I share my learned messages, my messages face the slur of abuses, mockery and above all Untouchability. Not a single activist touches them. This is the phenomenon of left-centre-right, human right groups, NGOs, secularists, communists, Islamist, Missionaries, liberal-tolerant brigade, ‘tukde-tukde-gang, award wapsi gang and etc etc.
And my abusers are five-star people, who are trained in secularism, socialism, communism, social justice, activism, human rights, NGOs, Jihad, Missionaries, liberal-tolerance, ‘tukde-tukde-gang terror, award wapsi riots and a whole lexicon of such notorious terms. This language came into existence with the independence and for decades, the nation could not understand these hate preachers branded as researchers, teachers and professors.
In our community and caste, knowledge is everything. The Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is always in our dreams, we never thought of hate, violence, discrimination and abuses. We only smiled and blessed whenever our Holy Thread (Janeu) was broken or our Gods and books were insulted.
Even Marx too did not come from that book-blessing family, so, he too was not aware of the way we used language.
We used so many languages: Dance, Music, Drums, Tandav, Books, Mantras, Slokas, Flutes, Water, Soil, Animals, Birds, Grains, Fruits, and Sweets etc to give the message of love, secularism, justice, non-violence, tolerance and above all the Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. We intermingled with these and we never harmed even an ant.
On the other side, people on rightist or leftist, higher caste or low caste, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, barbarians or civilized, naxals or Jihadis; cultivated a tongue that was of a deal, negotiation and hate part of their family line of work. They may be even cobblers, butchers, shepherds, traders, Masons, mehtars, blacksmiths, barbers etc., but we have been always poorly paid for the services, we do. But even today we failed to learn the tricks of the world, and we don't believe in abandoning our books for any more hate and biased book.
We are still at a loss if there is any likelihood or feeling of true appraisal left for us. It seems nation has in numerous but distorted academic registers, which viciously access each other but leave such fuzzy facts behind that no one else can get a positive view about what we did to other as a community of owning and retaining a register.
Althusser truly says Language is War. We, humans, have been cramped to one 'printable' language so fanatically after the invention of the printing device and became the slave of the printing press as the mediated statement in the academic world in last one thousand years, where all our native languages have been abused.
We were brought up in so many cultures; 'human culture' was always the first for us. Invaders and colonial masters brought our other cultures, but each one naturally was inferior to our culture, why to be confined with just one and only one linguistic book or culture written by some Tom, Dick and Harry which suffer from a serious problem of mono-centrism. Nothing more can be said. We are combating hostilities of doing and undoing of our past and future only to protect our culture, and ourselves others are just pawns and slaves. No secularism, no democracy, no tolerance, no non-violence. Just endgame.
There are many among the reserved castes, who have been grabbing all the benefits and freebies given in the name of social justice, and have been grabbing their opportunistic design forcefully, efficiently. However, what about those who have not seen or known this free-loot? So many power-hungry reserved caste citizens have sold their soul to power and greed, and damaging the social fibre of the society and nation and even humanity, by collaborating with some savage forces that reduced their comrades to slavery.
Such looters are the cruellest robbers. Here, an incident was highly appropriate to mention. When Abraham Lincoln was elected as the president of America, his father was a shoemaker. And, obviously, insensitive people were very much hurt that a shoemaker’s son should become the president.
On the first day, as Abraham Lincoln stood to give his first address, just in the middle, a man stood up. He was a very wealthy neo-rich, created by the freebies economy. He said, “ Mr Lincoln, you should not forget that your father used to make shoes for my family.” In addition, the entire Senate laughed; they thought that they had made a fool of Abraham Lincoln.
However, some people are made of a completely unusual grit. Lincoln looked at the man straight in the eye and said, “Sir, I know that my father used to make shoes for your family, and there will be many here who cannot make shoes the way he made. He used ideas brilliantly. He was a creator. His shoes were not just shoes; he poured his whole soul into them. “Have you any complaint”? Because I myself know to make shoes. If you have any complaint, I can make you a new pair of shoes. However, as far as I know, nobody has ever found fault in my father’s shoes. He was a genius, a grand creator and I am proud of my father”. There was pin-drop silence in the Senate. They failed to realize what kind of man Abraham Lincoln was. He was proud because his father did his job so well, with so much zeal, such a passion, and faultless.
It is not an issue what you do. What matters is how you perform – of your own knowledge, with your own visualization, with your own perfection. Then whatever you do becomes the best. Our excellence and creativity are abused.
We have been facing treacherous assumptions, like quotas, reservations, abuses, reforms etc, may not fit lots of we, religious and cultural teachers working for centuries in silence and suffocation. Isn't the life mode you recommended for teachers? Who wiped out Brahmans in Kashmir in particular and in many parts of India in general? One-day people will try to find barren land in a wasteland. Nobody will stop for them. As birds left the barren land, knowledge also disowns those who do not preserve and respect it. Then people will be the birds of barren habitation. Does life carry on in such ecology?
'Our morals are dead' and it must be a general way of life, not for this secular nation. Votes and elections is one area, which gives attention to religion, caste, gender, language-nation has become data recorded, without merit and knowledge like online web technologies collection. We have now learnt to work and survive in a hostile climate. We have acclimatized ourselves in this climate. Fortunately, there we had seen hundreds of such races around the world. Moreover, that memory helps us to survive.
It also revived a feel for my ancestors who survived the onslaught of invaders, colonial masters and missionaries. We were jobless in millions when the vote-bank colonisers brought caste-ism and communalism in the form of quotas and reservation. Our Holy Thread (Janeu), Knowledge Shikha (Choti ), Saffron Attire, Holy Books etc are become mocked and insulted. Our Holy places are either razed or encroached. People visit the lands of invaders and colonial masters but not their revered land. Isn’t a destruction or development? A disastrous invasion and colonization by quotas and reservation. It divides people. A colonial dis-order and disaster that deserves, India’s immediate attention.
