The Hindu political leadership comprising of the ruling BJP and a few degenerated monks- Samnyasins- gets angry and agitated when people tell that the Sanatana Dharma, the Sanatana (Eternal!) Culture, with its caste discrimination, high-lowness, abject poverty, and untouchability, must go! Addressing a gathering of writers and artists in Tamil Nadu, Udayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin, and grandson of former Chief Minister and the Dravida Munnetta Kazhakam founder Muthuvel Karunanidhi, and himself a DMK leader and minister, said on 2 September 2023 that Sanatana Dharma is like malaria, dengue fever and corona virus and should not be fought but eradicated. The attempt was to establish that the Dravidian culture, which is older than the ancient Sanatana culture which is manifested through the worship of Hinduism, is much higher and more equal than that. The Tamil Nadu Progressive Rightists Forum organized this conference termed as the Sanatana Dharma Abolition Conclave with clear political, social and cultural objectives. For those who were skeptical about whether this was needed, an incident occurred the very next day shocking the country which within a single day did away with any doubts any had about what Sanatana Dharma is and why it should go away. That incident changed everything in a single day.
In Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, a man who calls himself Jagaduguru Paramahamsa Acharya announced that he will give ten crores rupees to whoever slits the throat of this Tamil Nadu youth, and if others do not do it, he himself will do it, he announced from Lucknow. He also circulated symbolic images on social media of him doing it. (If this is being done against opposition leaders, then there is no case for this today in India- it is just a normal Hindu-ruled state affair). So, that is Sanatana Dharma- unlimited license to do things like that! They, the firm believers in and proponents of this Dharma, are saddened and disappointed that they could not bring the entire India under it, but are still going on persevering, putting their faith in the Bharatiya Janaya Party Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rhetoric that he will resurrect and bring back the ghost of Sanatana culture from the past which the people of India had thrown out. Not only them, but also a few crores of people who have not even seen, heard or experienced personally what Sanatana Dharma actually is. They only know that if lower caste and non-Hindu women and girls were raped by them, then there will be no cases, because as they know it, in the Sanatana Hindu Dharma the low castes and non-Hindus have no rights! Except that unfit to live in the twenty first century what can be said about them!
Don't remember how a rich Brahmin named Amit Shukla, in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh, while drinking and frolicking with his friends at his home, created a ruckus by articulating that he had ordered food for him and his group, it was delivered to his home not by another Shukla but by a Muslim delivery boy, wrote about it immediately on the social media and started a boycott of the noted delivery company Zomato by all Sanatanas, Zomato and the world defended by saying that food has no caste and that they have no communal discrimination either in India or abroad, and finally when the company revealed the meaty dishes that the Sanatana Brahmin Shukla had ordered, and when the police finding no way to save him had to register a case against him for communal discrimination, the Shukla withdrew his fangs and lowered his hood? It is a culture like that that the Prime Minister who walks around pretending to be a world’s leader, and his party that is taking away national wealth and giving it to the peer of their realm Reliance, and the religious fanatics who hope they under Modi can restore the oppressive politics on the backward castes as before, are bringing back!
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has risen up shaking its mane and its leaders have unitedly come forward with successive screams of protest against the idea of eradication Sanatana Dharma by the people. They boast that they would bring back the culture of these Shuklas with the same zeal and single breathe of pride that they had boasted that it was not the publicly-owned ISRO which borrowing the common Soviet-American technology landed a vehicle on the moon, but them. But from the very words of that dirty man from Uttar Pradesh to this one from Madhya Pradesh, almost everyone understood what Sanatana Dharma, which had existed for hundreds of years and stifled India, and pushed it into darkness and foreign rule is, and why it has to go.
When the Sanatana Dharma, that is, the supposed eternal law, reappears some of the most important in these sets of codes are that one should not question those who come clad in saffron, whatever they say one should obey, and whatever they ask one should give. What is seen in the Puranas that serve as the basis for this code of laws is that if any of these people, except perhaps the hon’ble Vasishta, were allowed into the house, they would eat everything in the house and then ask for a virgin in the house too for their use, which would ultimately result in an illegitimate pregnancy and that little girl becoming a vagabond and finally a pariah. Don't see what the famous Saint Vatsyayana himself left behind him in history: how to play deliciously with female body! Even while they say that they have renounced all forms of association, all links to the external world, their goal is all kinds of association, of which the apex is sex. Under this law called Sanatana Dharma, which no one can resist or question if they are in force, the goal is unlimited licensed adultery!
What stories of sexual abuse and aberrations are heard about many people wearing saffron robes today in India, and how many people are in jail for those today! From now onward, once there is Sanatana Dharma, it will never be able to take cases on these. It is thinking that they will get the license for all these when this law comes back that all the saffron-clad in the country have jumped out in droves and set out for reinstalling it. The Devadasi system in Hindu temples, in which the girls committed to the temples by their parents out of poverty and danced all night in front of these lusty leprous animals and the next day found themselves lying left beside the drains, which the country ended, will also come back for these: they will make it come back. India was cursed that moment when there should have been a scholarly Prime Minister like Nehru, who was oriented towards science and had a socialistic outlook, there happened to be a Prime Minister like Narendra Modi, who is immersed in superstitions and now meaningless rituals.
Following this Tamilnadu speech, once the BJP which is spread across the country and which was brought to power and kept there maintaining that power by these licentious scavengers for this purpose of theirs woke up to this, and said their say, all other parties including the Indian National Congress were forced to express their opinions. The Congress responded by saying that everyone has the freedom to express their opinions and that it is part of democratic freedom. In Kerala, the next-lying state of Tamilnadu where, being a Dravidian state like Tamil Nadu, this issue has equal importance, the Communist Party of India (CPI), a partner in the Kerala’s ruling Left Democratic Front, took the stand that what Udayanidhi Stalin said was absolutely correct, as different from the Marxist Party of India CPI(M)’s, which is unable to analyze and comment on the issue of Sanatana Dharma based on the theory and practice of the Communist Marxist method, because its chief minister the infamous Pinarayi Vijayan of Kerala who is a pseudo-Marxist leader abandoned the working class path and turned to the corrupt class path, committed horrendous corruption with his family in the name of governance, and is now clinging to the feet of the central BJP in order to avoid imprisonment for his corruption. Thus, it gradually began to emerge who were the ones in India who harbored Sanatanathwa deep within them and who wanted to live a normal life, in the executive, legislature, judiciary, and beyond that, in politics and the media.
When we say eradication, its raw meaning is annihilation, to kill. BJP took the primitive stance that when one says eradication of Sanatana Dharma, he means inciting to kill. Udayanidhi Stalin took the stand that when we say that our objective is liberation of India from Sanatana (Hindu) Dharma, we mean taking it (India) out from Hindu Dharma, making it free, and we do not mean any killing, and asked in return, when BJP's Prime Minister Narendra Modi keeps saying that India should be freed of Congress, does he mean any killing.
One thing that needs to be understood here is that the Supreme Court in recent times, i.e. after the BJP came to power and overturned the secular republican constitution and declared a Hindu Rashtra, made up an interpretation and declared that Sanatana Dharma, or Sanatana Law, is the only Dharma in India and it is an almost official religion of India, and that others should follow it almost as if it were sanctimonious. Is Sanatana Dharma the only religion, the only law, in India that everyone can follow? Then what is Dravidian Dharma, Dravidian Culture? In that case, isn't the re-establishing of Sanatana Dharma the attempt of the Indian-Aryan Hindu Theo-Corporatocracy, led by the BJP, to eliminate and end in India the black Dravidian culture that had spread from Lanka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh to the Indus Valley, dominating and ruling there?
Isn't it recorded in history that the Aryans, who had gained freedom from slavery in the ancient world with the intervention of Moses and his Ten Commandments, fled from home lands through continents and the hot sandy deserts and snowy mountains to avoid being subjected to slavery again, with small children, sheep, cattle, and chickens, came down from the Himalayas, sighted and stood spellbound at the splendor of Dravidian agriculture in the Indus Valley, and survived there by gradually replacing them? Isn't it the story of this survival battle between these foreigners with European features and the ancestors of the indigenous Dravidians with African features, led by the kings of each at that time, who were Rama and Ravana that is written as the Ramayana?
Think it is a myth the Ravana's impregnable military headquarters in the middle of the sea in Sri Lanka? Don’t make history researchers repeat that the clans in the respective Eezhams- Thaavazhis- of Vibhishana, who committed fratricidal betrayal, and of Ravana his brother who fell through that betrayal, with their clan professions of revenue, treasury and administration for Vibhishana and toddy liquor-making and weaving and running martial Kalaris for Ravana, after the defeat, out of shame, both left Lanka, crossed the sea and came to the Kerala coast along with or after Rama, via Thalaimannar and Rameshwaram, and then parted ways and became the Nairs and the Ezhavas of Kerala, the two dominating castes in Kerala!
And don’t try it to be investigated again by historical and geographical researchers the fact that there was no sea in-between South India and Africa then, it was a continuous land mass, there was human traffic to and fro, and that the people of both places were identical in black and curly hair, color and shape of body, and even language. In many respects, what difference in there between the Africans and the Tamils?
Haven't heard the song of the bird?
Elukira Thoonku Vaanala
Njaaru Paarumaa!
When the wind blows through between our bones, we will automatically be lifted up and fly away in the sky without even knowing it! It has the same meaning in Afrikaans and Tamil!!
