“…. Jesus Christ prayed peace and Reconciliation was bestowed on this very earth, he taught the world the precept of love. Not just taught but he lived by it, He put his life at stake for it. But he didn’t exclude any human belonging to the herd of God...”

~ Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj,

Gramgeeta Chapter 27.

——————

Memories from 2009-2010 sent by a friend, those days of struggles, learning, teaching, preaching along with my lovely people. I had no good quality cell phone nor I had enough money to afford a camera to capture each and every moment I spent traveling from village to village in northern Maharashtra region of central India. Nor there was any budget for filling up petrol in my bike, I remember would ask someone who could give me a lift to a destination where I can find someone to go with, in such situations I was able to reach around 48 villages riding on bullock carts with the proclamation of the gospel of liberation, being a part of 10 literature conferences in the memory of Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj, Gadge Baba ( the 20th century anti caste crusaders, monotheistic saints of central India) in local village schools, food would be provided by people of these villages. That quality of nourishing food from the house of farmers, land tillers,cart pullers,barbers, oil vendors, vegetable vendors, shepherds, carpenters, fishermen, cobblers, bird hunters, Farm labors, cattle herders, washermen, manual scavengers, tribal groups etc. I was able to reach around 1200 Caste Groups in one year, riding on bullock carts, rallying from village to village, having interfaith dialogues, with few printed pamphlets, preamble of the Constitution of India, Gramgeeta, short booklets and the Debrahminized/Decolonized New Testament.

These caste groups remain unknown and ignored by the church till today in 2000 years of history, although Christians claim that they work in my people and have been working since hundreds of years and my leadership would follow their advice in doing mission work among my own people. Anyways, fake claims and propaganda doesn’t

Change the Truth, my people know, as the lord Jesus says “ my sheep hears and recognizes my voice”.

My people love the stories of emancipation told in their own language and context, church doesn’t have it, neither church will get it, as it is a dead body now and will take time to resurrect. It took 3 days for disciples to experience the power of Resurrection, church will take least 3000 years to get experience it, that’s my assumption. Anyways, it doesn’t matter about the church anymore. It takes courage to realize that God of all Nations was never in the Building, he is in people.

Observing my passion and enthusiasm My people rewarded me as the young saint of northern Maharashtra in 2011, few of the local newspapers covered my story, the award is still safely preserved with me. It Doesn’t matter about awards or rewards, my people matters, their life filled with their joys and sorrows matter and wherever I am any part of the globe I will continue to share their stories full of pains and struggles, No power on earth can hijack and colonize this Christ centered caste reconciliation Baliraja Yashiva movement.

Dhan Dhan Satguru! Satnaam Waheguru! Takbeer -Allah Hu Akbar!

Jai Jotiba! Jai Bhim! Jai Gurudev ji! Jai Baliraja Ki!

“...... I believe that standing up for the truth of God is the greatest thing in the world. This is the end of life. The end of life is not to be happy. The end of life is not to achieve pleasure and avoid pain. The end of life is to do the will of God, come what may.....The oceans of history are made turbulent by the ever-rising tides of revenge. Human has never risen above the injunction of the lextalionis: ‘Life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.’ In spite of the fact that the law of revenge solves no social problems, humans continue to follow their disastrous leading. History is cluttered with the wreckage of nations and individuals that pursued this self-defeating path. Jesus eloquently affirmed from the cross a higher law. He knew that the old eye-for-an-eye philosophy would leave everyone blind. He did not seek to overcome evil with evil. He overcame evil with good. Although crucified by hate, he responded with aggressive love. What a magnificent lesson! Generations will rise and fall; humans will continue to worship the god of revenge and bow before the altar of retaliation; but ever and again this noble lesson of Calvary will be a nagging reminder that only goodness can drive out evil and only love can conquer hate....” ~ Rev.

“You said

The Shudra is born from the feet of Brahma

And the Brahmin from his head

And they did not ask you

Where was Brahma born from?

You said

Service is the duty of the Shudra

They did not ask

What will you give for it?....

….My ancestors

Humane

Yet untouchable.”

― Omprakash Valmiki (30 June 1950 – 17 November 2013)

_________________________________

Today is the Anniversary of Sir. Omprakash Valmiki a writer and poet well known for his autobiography, “Joothan”, considered as a milestone in the literature of Subalterns/Marginalized 93% population (Non-Hindus) of India. He was born at the village of Barla in the Muzzafarnagar district of Uttar Pradesh.

In his book ‘Joothan’ he described his life as an untouchable (Dalit) In the newly independent India of the 1950s. ‘Joothan’ refers to scraps of food left on a plate, destined for the garbage or animals. India’s untouchables have been forced to accept and eat joothan (Defiled food) for centuries, and the word encapsulates the pain, humiliation, and poverty of a community forced to live at the bottom of India’s social pyramid.

Although, the untouchability was outlawed in 1949, but Dalits till today continue to face discrimination, economic deprivation, Violence and heinous crimes, nothing has changed, the manual scavenger remains as a manual scavenger and continue to face systemic deaths of caste apartheid in sewage tanks propagated by Brahminism.

Valmiki shared his heroic struggle to survive a pre-ordained life of perpetual physical and mental persecution and his transformation into a speaking subject under the influence of the life and Legacy of International Legendary Civil Rights figure ‘Babasaheb’ B. R. Ambedkar. A document of the long-silenced and long-denied sufferings of the Dalits, Hi Classic text ‘Joothan’ remains as a major contribution to the archives of the oppressed history and a manifesto for the revolutionary transformation of society and human consciousness.

Besides ‘Joothan’ {Defiled food} (1997) Valmiki published three collections of poetry: Sadiyon Ka Santaap {The anger of the centuries} (1989), ‘Bas! Bahut Ho Chuka’ {enough is enough} (1997), and Ab Aur Nahin (Not again) (2009).

He also wrote two collections of short stories, Salaam {Greetings} (2000), and Ghuspethiye {Invaders} (2004). In addition, he wrote ‘Dalit Saahity Ka Saundaryshaastr’ {The beauty of the Literature Of Oppressed, 2001) and a history of the ‘Valmikis’ (manual Scavenging Caste group), ‘Safai Devata’ {God of a Manual Scavenger) (2009), ‘Do Chera’ (a play).

He has also translated Prof. Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd’s famous book “WHY I AM NOT A HINDU” in Hindi Language as ‘Main Hindu kyu Nahi’ which continues to haunt Brahminical forces and inspires 93% population of India to get out of fake identity which has trapped them in the web of Brahminism (Brahmakapatjaal).

After retirement from Government Ordnance Factory Dr. Omprakash Valimiki, lived in Dehradun where he died of complications arising out of stomach cancer on 17 November 2013.

Om Prakash Sir is no more in this world. But he continues to live through his writings which will continue to inspire generations.

#MusawatDiwas #FakhrEQaum #AbdulQaiyumAnsari

Today is the Musawat Diwas (Equality Day) the Birth anniversary of one of my favorite Civil Rights legend, Late. Abdul Qaiyum Ansari (1 July 1905 – 18 January 1973) most popularly known as ‘FAKHR-E-QAUM’ (The pride of the nation). A real freedom fighter who actively worked to eradicate caste-based discrimination among Indian Muslims. He opposed the Two-Nation Theory and Partition of India endorsed by Mohammed Ali Jinnah’s Muslim League. He contested both ‘Hindu’ and ‘Muslim’ communalism throughout his political career.

He challenged the claims of Muslim league to represent all the Muslims of India, Exposed Muslim League as an organization of the Savarna-Ashraf (So-called upper-caste) Muslims, and mobilized subordinated Muslim Caste groups against it. He established a national school for the students who had boycotted government schools in response to the call of the Indian National Congress. For this, he was arrested and imprisoned at the young age of 16 since it amounted to participation in Non-Cooperation and 'Khilafat' Movements. He worked tirelessly for the economic, educational, and social welfare of the artisan and other backward communities. He was the member of first all India backward classes commission set up by the Government of India.

Apart from Activist , He was also an accomplished journalist, writer, and poet. He was an editor of Urdu weekly "Al-Islah" (The Reform) and an Urdu monthly "Musawat" (Equality) in the pre-independence days. As he was against the demand of the Muslim League for the creation of Pakistan by dividing India, To counter the demand of the Muslim League for a separate Muslim nation he started the 'Momin Movement.'

He was also the president of the Bihar Provincial Jamiat-ul-Momineen. He joined the freedom struggle during the Khilafat Movement when he came in contact with the Ali Brothers in Sasaram, Bihar. His “assertive” politics in the 1930s and the 1940s opposed the Muslim League and the two-nation theory. After Independence, he became a minister in various Congress state governments (1946-52, 1955-57 and 1962-67) and later the president of the party’s Bihar Pradesh Committee, a member of Congress Working Committee and a Rajya Sabha member (1970-72).

Under this banner, he worked for the social, political, and also economic emancipation and upliftment of the backward 'Momin' 'Pasmanda' community which was at least half of India’s Muslim population then. Abdul Qaiyum Ansari remained President of All India Momin conference throughout his life. Ansari's 'Momin movement' stood for the establishment and development of social equality, secularism, and democracy. He also worked for the welfare of artisan and weavers communities, and for the development of the handloom sector in the textile industry of the country.

He came forward as the first Muslim leader of India to condemn the same and strenuously worked to rouse the Muslim masses to counter such aggressions as true citizens of India. As an aftermath of this, he founded the Indian Muslim Youth Kashmir Front in 1957 to "liberate" Azad Kashmir. Later on, he exhorted the Indian Muslims to support the Government of India in the anti-Indian uprising of the ‘Razakars’ (Paramilitary Organization) in Hyderabad during September 1948.

A champion of the poor and downtrodden, Abdul Qaiyum Ansari worked for the spread of education and literacy and the first All India Backward Classes Commission was appointed by the Government of India in 1953 largely at his initiative. Inspired by him the pioneer of socialism in India Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia wrote in his famous book, 'The Guilty Men of Partition', that had the Congress Party promoted backward Muslim leaders the Partition could have been avoided.

Abdul Qaiyum Ansari died on 18 January 1973, at village Amiawar of Bihar, while inspecting damages caused to the village by the collapse of the Dehri-Arrah canal and organizing relief to its homeless people.

In his honor and memory Government of India released a Stamp on his birth anniversary, 01 July 2005!

#EleanorZelliot

“I got interested in Ambedkar when I was reading widely about india in my university days, and found his name in most books which I referred to. I however had no analysis to explain his rise. I had been supporting the African American movement since I was 14, so the comparable Indian movement was a natural subject for me …..Every act, including a peom, song, object or design that a person who defines himself or herself as a Dalit does or creates acts of creation arising out of the fact of the consciousness of one’s being a dalit is a part of oppressed culture”

--Dr. Eleanor Zelliot (October 7,1926- June 5, 2016) PhD, University of Pennsylvania, M.A., Bryn Mawr College, B.A. William Penn college.

June 6th marks the 76th anniversary of D-Day, one of the most historic battles of World War II. At Normandy in WWII, many sacrificed their lives.

On this day, more than 150,000 U.S., British and Canadian troops landed on the beach in Normandy, France, battling Nazi troops to gain a foothold in Europe. At the time, D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in military history and a pivotal event in WWII.

My Grand father, Mom’s Father (Nana) Mr. E.G. Moses was in this War on the borders of France and Germany Fought against Hitler’s Nazi forces, served the people at War time and was awarded medals for his grand services!!

History will continue to repeat unless and until we learn and realize that hate is never the answer, A lie will no longer live, the Truth will Triumph and Love will prevail forever under the shades of grace through power of spirit of Truth which will lead to the path of Reconciliation !!!

May The Spirit of Truth guide all of us to Overcome Hate.

#CONVERSION

As hardly 2% of population of India (realest pure Hindus) the Brahmins (born from mouth of man) the beneficiaries of caste system challenging with fake ids on social media for civil war with official 3 % Christians unofficial 30% population of India who are feeding migrant laborers in the midst of pandemic.

This Makes it clear that Hinduism/Brahminism wants people to starve and die and if people of different faiths feed them, they won’t let them do it. They will troll them with false accusations making fake ids and fake pages.

Because, Their insecurities of oppressiveness gets exposed. The shared screenshot is sponsored by Narendra Modi (real Hinduism IT cell)

Dear Christians, please fuel the fire on this false accusation, Please CONVERT everyone to Christianity by saying this truth that Hinduism doesn’t care about migrant laborers at all. It’s the bitter truth Brahmin/Baniyas (Real Hindus) have the power over all the money it’s so crystal clear that the Janeudhari (White thread wearing half naked species)

The Brahmins sitting in the temples

Hate 93 % Non Hindu India the hard working labors, farmers and all untouchables from the core of their heart. None of the Brahmin/Hindu Temples with millions of dollars wealth came forward to feed the hungry migrant laborers in this period of agony.

Although, it’s a false accusation on Christians that they convert people by bribing food and money.

But now Enough is Enough, it’s time to fight and come forward, to hell with all false accusations, please CONVERT majority of India into Christian Religion.

Feed the hungry show them the love of Jesus Christ which Hinduism’s 330 billion gods/godesses failed to give. All the Hindu/Brahmin gods/godesses wield weapons and hate 93% population of India fail to give food.

Hinduism is a so called Religion which promotes notion of Hate, violence and killing.

Yes indeed!! The Anti-Hindu/Brahmin discourse is the need of an hour and CONVERSION to Christianity ( the most non violent religion in the world) is Necessary.

This situation Reminds me the golden words of BABASAHEB.

“Inequality is the soul of Hinduism, Hence, Reforming Hinduism is not our Goal, The Hindus will never annihilate "Caste",

Because If caste is annihilated,Hinduism gets destroyed....Conversion(from hinduism/brahminism/sanatan dharma) brings Happiness

I tell you all very specifically, religion is for man and not man for religion. To get human treatment, convert yourselves.

CONVERT -For getting organized.

CONVERT -For becoming strong.

CONVERT -For securing equality.

CONVERT -For getting liberty.

CONVERT -For that your domestic life may be happy.”

"...I abuse you,

I abuse your culture,

I abuse your scriptures,

I fart on your nationalism...

My famine-ous foe

A savage, retarded culture of 3,000 BC

Frolics in your potbelly,

it has turned utterly perverse.

They call the hideousness that you are a ‘nation’

Due to the growth of Brahminical capitalist society

Otherwise, who would give a Shit about you?

After living in this terrifying desolate desert

When we shove our hands into the bag

Of your history and your geography,

We come across the monstrous idol

Made from billions of deceased youngsters,

Their dead parents, their families

Eighteen incessant worlds of their poverty

…Here,

This is my skeleton, this one is yours

This is my father’s skeleton, this is your father’s

This is your grandfather’s skeleton, this, your grandmother’s..."

#SelfRespectDay

“Let us serve the King of Truth who is an embodiment of pure radiance and great integrity."

~Mahatma Jotiba Phule.

-----------------------------------

11th may 1888 marks the ‘Day of Dignity’ or ‘Self respect day’ in the History of most oppressed and marginalized people in the world the 93% Population of India (the non Hindus) who are subalterns in other words ‘BALIJANS’ ( The people of King Baliraja).

It was this day; Jotiba Phule was embraced as ‘MAHATMA’ (Great soul) By the common people.

This moment of honor was planned by great social reformer from Mumbai, Rao Bahadur Vithalrao Krishnaji Vandekar. As the history goes, Jotirao Phule had completed 60 years of his age and 40 years of social service fighting for the rights of 93% Population of India (the non Hindus).

To mark this achievement, it was decided by the satyashodhak (Truthseeker Society) leaders, Activists and workers to felicitate Jotirao Phule. Rao Bahadur Vithalrao Krishnaji Vandekar, Narayan Meghaji Lokhande (the first trade unionist of India) was in the forefront for arranging this function.

Hon. Sayajirao Maharaj (King of Baroda), who also was invited for this function, could not attend the function. He had sent a message that Jotirao Phule be bestowed with the title of ‘Hindustan’s Booker T. Washington’.

On 11 May 1888, a function was arranged in the meeting hall of ‘Mumbai Deshastha Maratha Dnyati-Dharma Sanstha’ at Mandvi, Koliwada, Mumbai for felicitating Jotirao Phule. As the function began, Rao Bahadur Vithalrao Krishnaji Vandekar explained in detail about the work and sacrifice of Jotirao Phule and his struggle for the rights of the People who are marginalized, oppressed treated as ‘SHUDRAS’ And ‘ATISHUDRAS’ in Hindu/Brahmin scriptures.

He then garlanded Jotirao Phule and declared that ‘we people present here, with swasphurti, are bestowing the title of Mahatma upon Jotirao Phule!’ And the Common People together in voice gave a delightful shoutout ‘MAHATMA…MAHATMA…MAHATMA’.

Thus Jotiba Phule came to be known as Mahatma Jotiba Phule thereafter. Information of the above historic event has been given in detail in the Hindi book ‘Yugpurush Mahatma Phule’ published by the Government of Maharashtra on 11 May 1993 to mark the 105th anniversary of the above historic function. This book has been written by Murlidhar Jagtap and published by Mahatma Phule Literature publishing committee, Government of Maharashtra, Mumbai.

A great soul (Real Mahatma) who discovered Y'shua as Baliraja(sacrificed king) of India, A legend who invented many words of enlightenment, A great champion of Womanhood who was the first man in this country to educate his own woman Savitribai Phule, enabled her to become the first ever woman Liberator of India, who started the first ever girls school in India in 1848, The first man who led the First ever ‘Barbers strike’ as a protest against shaving the head of widows,

The champion of Farmer’s rights.

A great soul, pioneer of Truth seeker movement in Modern India. We celebrate The Life of MAHATMA Jotiba Phule the Real ‘MAHATMA’ of India (The Balisthan) and celebrate this day as ‘Self Respect Day’.

Long Live the Legacy of Mahatma Jotiba Phule.

JAI JOTIBA! JAI BHIM!

Long Live Mission Reconciliation.

"Let the Labour Triumph” #InternationalLaborDay

In the childhood People in the house used to say the one who raises cow-buffalo becomes a buffalo

Raising a buffalo or tilling a land is enough to blunt your mind and make your beauty ugly.

For Rearing a buffalo, you have to wake up early in the morning, clean the stable, picking up dung and urine, clean the hearing holes, Cutting the baits, Carrying the straws, refining the lentils, making tether, Cleaning the strains, checking the ropesto tie the cattle. To take bath multiple times, Sleep when buffalo sleeps, wake up when buffalo wakes up, you don’t have choice to take your time to sleep, No time to think of Society-Nation, This how whole life will end, if there won’t be milk production then you will remain wherever you are.

Some intelligent men will come to drink a glass of milk pretending to be one of you, with the newspaper in his armpits with sandal paste on his forehead or a huge beard on his face or sometimes just a good looking clean shaved fair light skin person. With an offer to you on your product, bargain with you in some hundreds of rupees play his tricks, and buy all your milk and drink it.

Intelligent man does not till the land neither he raises a buffalo. What he does is Drinks milk. Milk strengthens the brain and enhances his beauty. If Beauty ‘glows’ then you are Hero-Heroine (Actor Actresses, models) will be a millionaire or billionaire.

If the brain is strengthened then he is the leader or ruler of the nation.

He is the one who speaks,

“Struggle and Hard work is what makes a Nation great”

~ Rajendra Prasad Singh

घर के लोग बचपन में कहा करते थे कि गाय भैस रखने में रखने वाला भी गाय भैस ही हो जाता है।

"श्रमेव जयते।

एक भैंस का पालन - पोषण अथवा एक बीघे जमीन की खेती आपके दिमाग को कुंद करने और आपके सौंदर्य को बदसूरत करने के लिए काफी है।

भैंस का पालन - पोषण। सुबह जागो। बथान की साफ - सफाई। गोबर - मूत उठाओ। नाद साफ करो। चारा काटो। भूसा ढोओ। खरी - दाल जुटाओ। पगहा - छान - गरदाँव बनाओ। भैंस को खिलाओ - पिलाओ। एक बार नहीं, बार - बार। नहवाओ। भैंस जब सोएगी, तब सो जाओ। जागेगी, तब जग जाओ। तुम्हें सोने का वक्त नहीं। समाज - देश कुछ याद नहीं। यूँ ही जीवन रीत जाएगा। दूध भी नहीं मिलेगा। तुम वहीं रहोगे, जहाँ हो।

दूध पीने तो कोई दिमागी आदमी आएगा। भेष बनाए। ढोंग रचाए। काँख में अखबार दबाए। टीका लगाए। दाढ़ी बढ़ाए। जाने कैसा रूप बनाए। वह कई तिकड़मों से सौ रूपया लाएगा और तुम्हारा सभी दूध खरीदकर पी लेगा।

दिमागी आदमी भैंस नहीं पालता। वह सिर्फ दूध पीता है। दूध से दिमाग बढ़ता है और सौंदर्य निखरता है। यदि सौंदर्य निखर गया तो हीरो - हीरोइन। करोड़ों की कमाई। यदि दिमाग बढ़ गया तो नेता अथवा देश का शासक। वह बोलेगा।

परिश्रम ही देश को महान बनाता है।"

But this day today was a special day I got a chance to see her again as a researcher and Had a Short interview On life of ‘Tarabai Shinde’ the first feminist writer of India. She gifted me Tarabai’s original picture which she herself discovered and I still have it preserved in my secret archives.

Seematai was being mentored by the legendary ‘Gadge Baba’ the great anti caste anti idol worship warrior saint in other words modern day Saint Kabir of Maharashtra.

She is very well known academician,Lawyer by profession and a staunch Civil Rights Activist a fierce fighter for women's emancipation, she runs a Counseling center for women, specially women who suffer domestic violence in day to day life.

Not kidding, But it’s a ground reality that Men ( specially politicians ) fear her by her name. I think every woman of Maharashtra knows the name of this Amazing woman.

So she doesn’t need much introduction.

Long Live the Anti Caste Revolt.

#Basavanna

“The rich will make temples for Siva. What shall I, a poor man, do? My legs are pillars, the body the shrine, the head the cupola of gold. Listen o Lord, standing things shall fall, that which moves shall stay”

―Prophet Basavanna the Great.

Today is the anniversary of Legendary Basavanna (1134- 1196 A.D), the founder of monotheist Lingayat Movement.

We know the story of Apostle Thomas the disciple of Jesus Christ was Murdered in south India by a BRAHMIN.

And later on, entire Christianity was Hijacked and Brahminized/Hinduised.

They invented Indian Christian Theology, in other words, Indian BRAHMIN theology which failed to inspire masses and annihilate the evil caste system.

Till today entire Indian Christian religion including modern day evangelical Christianity of India, stands on Justifying Caste as Christian way of life by seeking Christ in Evil Sanskrit/Brahmin literature like Vedas/Geeta/Mahabharata/Ramayana/Upanishads etc, to escape from this criticism BRAHMIN Christian Theologians (both south Indians and North Indians) title this hijacking process as ‘Contextualization’.

On the other hand, the masses were mystified by MAYA (Illusion) view of life.

Brahmins/Aryans Dominated society and snatched the priesthood from OBCs/DALITS/TRIBALS 93% population of India and DEMONIZED the GOD of the Bible i.e. GOD of India's marginalized people in their Literature and they themselves became 'gods on earth' (Aham Brahmasmi).

Their doctrine of KARMA, Polytheism snubbed and Silenced the revolting spirit of the people. Superstitions and crude beliefs reigned the mindsets of people. It was such on a reactionary horizon that Subaltern Non-Brahminical/Non-Hindu Dravidian Christianity Revolutionary movement rose up and later Merged into Shaivism which later in 1134- 1196 A.D under the leadership of 'BASAVANNA' produced an organized movement Called 'LINGAYATISM'.

This Monotheistic Anti idol, Anti Caste, Anti Brahminical/Hindu/Vaishnavite, Non-Sanskrit literature (Vedas/Geeta/Ramayana/Shrutis/smritis etc). Under the Leadership of BASAVANNA roused the masses by X Raying the religious and philosophical tenets of BRAHMINISM/HINDUISM/SANATAN DHARMA. Even Brahminized Buddhism, Brahminized Jainism, Brahminized Islam, and Brahminized Christian Religion was cross-examined.

BASAVANNA Like 'Moses ' was a mass prophet He gave the priesthood back to the OBCs/Dalits/Tribals, He introduced intercaste dinings, intercaste marriages etc etc. He also established institutions like ‘anubhav mantap’ meaning the 'Tabernacle of experience of the mercy of God of all nations', which can be titled as ‘The world’s first ever anti-race, anti-caste, gender inclusive diverse parliament’ in the history of humankind, where the process of increasing knowledge, having debates and developing the liberating philosophy was undertaken. Women also took part in this movement.

Akka Mahadevi was one of the leading female leaders of his Movement. Basavanna was murdered by casteist/Brahminical forces and his literature got almost demolished. But some of his followers were successful in saving the main aspects of his preaching. We take the brave and great revolutionary tradition of Basavanna forward and We salute Basavanna the Great soul. Brahmins tried to Hijack this movement too and kept promoting the LIE that Lingayats are Hindus, Basavanna’s Followers were fighting for their independent Identity for many years and finally, they got it a year ago.

Long Live the Legacy of BASAVANNA the great soul. Long Live the Revolutionary Subaltern Debrahminized Movement of resistance.

Sharnu Sharnarthi!

“ How can you throw stones on me when I am wrong, when you haven’t applauded for me when I was Right”

~ I.M Vijayan

———————

In a British and Brahmin/Baniya Alliance colonized game ‘Cricket’ obsessed so called country known as India, Legends of other sports find it very difficult to come into spotlight. Interestingly, when we talk about Soccer ⚽️ the first few names that come to our minds is Bhaichung Bhutia (Northeast Colonized Privileged Tribal), Sunil Chettri (Kshatriya uppercaste) Neville D’Souza (Brahmin Christian Caste) etc.

I.M. Vijayan emerged as a legend out of nowhere he was most popularly known as ‘BLACK BUCK’ during his playing days. Yes I am writing it right He earned ‘Black Buck’ title as his popular ‘Nickname’.

He was born as a ‘Pulaya’ the oppressed Caste (Dalit) on 25th of April 1969 at Thrissur, Kerala. His early life was full of struggle and he had to sell soda bottles, earning 10 paise for each, in the Thrissur Municipal Stadium for helping his family. However, his passion for the beautiful game of Soccer did not go unnoticed, and he somehow caught the eye of the then DGP (Deputy General of Police) M.K. Joseph of Kerala state (The state of Brahmin Malyali Christians where Apostle Thomas Disciple of Jesus Christ gave Gospel to oppressor Brahmins). It was M.K. Joseph who got him selected for the Kerala Police football club at the age of 17 years.

I.M Vijayan One of the leading Indian football players of modern times, he formed a successful attacking partnership with Bhaichung Bhutia for India in the late nineties and early 2000's. Vijayan was crowned Indian Player of the Year in 1993, 1997 and 1999, the first player to win the award multiple times. He was also honoured with the Brahminical Arjuna award in 2003.

Vijayan scored one of the fastest ever international goals in a match against Bhutan in the 1999 SAF Games, when he managed to do the same in 12 seconds.

A biographical film, titled Kalo Harin and directed by Cherian Joseph, was released in 1998. The title translates as ‘black buck’ and is a reference to Vijayan's popular nickname during his playing days.

The film won the National Award and the John Abraham Award in 1999.

Vijayan acted as the leading character in internationally acclaimed Indian film "Shantham" (Peace) which won the national award for best film.

Happy Birthday I.M Vijayan. We Love you and we won’t let you be forgotten. Your stories of struggle in sports history will continue to inspire Biliions around the Globe.

#PanditaRamabai

“Those who diligently and impartially read Sanskrit Literature in the original cannot fail to recognize that the lawgiver Manu as one of those hundreds who has done their best to make women a hateful being in the world’s eye”

~ Pandita Ramabai (April 23, 1858– April 5, 1922)

————————

Today is the Birth anniversary of Pandita Ramabai who was one of the greatest female liberators of modern India. A self-learned Sanskrit, Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, and Brail script scholar, an outspoken champion of women’s rights and social reform, earned the unique distinction of being the sole women representative in the Brahminical/Hindu male-dominated world of gender reforms. Ramabai challenged and contested Brahminical patriarchy in her educational and missionary activities, her book Titled as ‘High Caste Hindu woman’ created a storm and brilliantly nailed Brahminism/Hinduism/Patriarchy. She Debrahminized/Desanskritized/Decolonized the Bible and TRANSCREATED it in OBC/Dalit/Tribal (90% population of Maharashtra state of central India) Language.

She was Criticized by Entire Conservative Brahmin as well as so-called Progressive Brahmin Lobby like Arya Samaj, Prarthna Samaj, Brahmo Samaj, and many so Called upper-caste Nationalists Like Rabindranath Tagore, even Brahmin Christian theologian like Narayan Vaman Tilak, Keshav Chandra sen criticized her that a woman does not have any right to interpret any religious scripture. Even she was Ignored by extremist Dalit writers too Just because she was born in the Brahmin family.

She was the rare woman who had learned Sanskrit, the Brahmin liturgical language reserved for Brahmin men; the rare Brahmin to marry out of caste; the rare widow who remained in public view, defying customs; and the rare Indian woman to decide, on her own, to convert to Christianity.

At a time when women were expected to be little seen and never heard, Ramabai was an outspoken advocate of women’s education and participation in public affairs. She traveled across India giving lectures on women’s rights. She studied in Britain and the United States, gave lectures in Japan and Australia, and taught Sanskrit as well as her mother tongue, Marathi.

Most remarkably for her time, Ramabai charted these paths as a single woman and mother; the few Indian women who were active in social reform than did so only with the encouragement or, at least, the permission of their husbands.

Pandita Ramabai worked for a few years with Mahatma Jotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule (The Forgotten couple who were the anti Caste crusaders and first pioneers of movement of women’s Emancipation in modern India),

Mahatma Jotiba Phule defended her and supported for her conversion to Christianity, published two booklets titled ‘Satsaar’ (The essence of Truth) to defend her and expose evils of Brahmin men and their so-called religion Brahminism/Hinduism.

Mahatma Jotiba Phule writes,

“….Ever since Pandita Ramabai has shown the so-called religion of the Aryans (Hinduism) its place, a nameless coward among the cunning defender of the Aryans has been awestruck and has shut up….”

Later on, she founded Mukti Mission In Kedgaon Pune for the liberation of blind girls which is still standing in Pune city of Maharashtra state of central India. She understandably became the most controversial woman of her time, and hence, was consciously ‘erased’ from modern Indian history for a long period. Today also she is ignored by Church too her transcreated Bible is not seen in any Christian church (all the Denominations including evangelicals) & all the nondenominational missions in India, even now her own Mukti mission doesn’t use her version of the Bible in any of their worship services.

Trillions of Blue Salutes to the Known but Intellectually Ignored Legendary Woman on her Birth anniversary.

Long Live Her Legacy.

Long Live CONVERSION.

More Power to the Era Of Debrahminization/Desanskritization/Decolonization.
