Apartheid has become our culture as it is the religious nationalism of the neo Nazi Hindu nation!

One young journalist from Orissa working for a prominent daily in Oria opened my eyes. He said entire geography of the nation excluding the Delhi centred Aryavart has been subjected to racial apartheid. He is just twenty two years old and he explained me how Buddhist heritage in Orissa has been converted into hinduisation, He told me rathyatra never had been traditional ritual of Hinduism as it roots in Buddhism. The great Sati saga has converted all indigenous gods into incarnation of chandi including kali and kamakhya that I know. But I know little about Buddhist rituals. The young journo claims that Lord Jagannath is originally a tribal god which has been made an incarnation of Krishna, I know it. He also says all Buddhist places are made Hinduised. He is a Hindu.
We may not understand that all Hindus are not equal as all Brahmins happen not to be. As the agrarian nature associated communities have been divided into thousands of graded castes, the Varnas and so called caste Hindu identity may not be the evidence of every community to be safe from the monopolistic aggression and the racial discrimination never does spare the Brahmins and the whole lot of the so called caste Hindu communities out of Aryavart that mean the untouchable humanscape with negroid, mongoloid and austroid demography and entire east, northeast, central India, south India and the Himalayan zones. The boy exactly explained this to me. I may not name him to identify him and helping the hegemony to persecute him as he intends to stay in mainstream media and he deserves.
We may not feel the plight of the adivasi people in India and the impact of the war and civil war continued against them. We are blinded to feel the drastic violation of civic and human right just because of our religious hindutva nationalism and being politically correct we may not face the truth at all.
Bengali Brahmins are always considered inferior to Chitpawan Brahamins in Maharashtra, Kanyakubj Brahamins in UP, Sarswat Brahmins in central India and Maithil Brahamins in Bihar. Marathi Brahmins despise Bengali Brahmins and brand them as kayastha shudra Brahamins. Ironically, Bengal, the land of Asuras and Anarys which remained Buddhist along with Orissa succeeded to make eastern and north east India the most strong citadel of Hindutva and the rulers in West Bengal since the ejection of dalits from the history and geography of Bengal and subordinating the Muslim population, had always been practicing Hindutva in cultural envelop of Bengal nationalism which is quite different from Bangladeshi Bengali nationalist rooted in agrarian humanscape while West Bengal hegemony in every sphere of life is essentially urban and Brahamiical outcaste everyone Non Brahmin. It happened as the Brahamins in Bengal aligned with the Muslim and British rulers and the permanent land settlement made them supreme, the status they enjoy now in pan Indian politics out casting all sets of Kulin Brahmins countrywide. This is the combined saga of Pranab Mukherjee as well as Mamata Banerjee.
Himalaya is projected as devbhumi and the Himalayan people identify themselves to all sorts of gods and goddesses. In fact the economic exploitation and racial discrimination reduced the heaven to hell losing where dharma, karma and karobar, jal jangal jameen have been captured by outsiders, But overwhelming identity of Hindutuva has made most of the untouchable humanscape including Assam, Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, central India, south India subordinate to the ruling hegemony of Arayavart centred in New Delhi. Kashmir, Manipur, Tamil nadu, Punjab and some other parts of the North east and the entire adivasi geography have not been subjected and the racial apartheid against the people of these areas may be highlighted by the result of continuous army rule there.
We being Hindu, despite racially discriminated and subjected as they are, May not feel the heart and mind of some Irom Sharmila or Soni Sori or those killed in Kashmir because all these people have been demonised.
No wonder, just identifying them racially different from us, our humanity loses its eyes, mind, heart and all the senses and we end to become the part of the lynching culture. It’s viral from Delhi to down the south in Bangalore and Hyderabad, in Shantiniketan.
