“A Hindu is not fighting to construct a temple using sand and stones.
His fight is to protect his culture, religion, and his national consciousness.
But Muslims are praising Babur – who is an invader, an occupier and one who
demolished temple of Lord Ram. They are not willing to accept Ram as an
incarnation – as an avatar purush”
- Ms. Uma Bharti, the then Sports Minister in Vijaya Bharatham, an
RSS Mouthpiece
‘Ram’ is an investment used by the BJP-RSS clique for the past more than
15 years to promote their ‘business’. The kind of fraudulent advertisements and
false propaganda they unleash are in no way lesser compared to the
multi-million dollar charming & selective promotion strategy of fraudulent
MNCs. “Golden era”, “nationalism”, “national pride”, “swadeshi…videshi”, etc
etc. are a few of those deceptive misconceptions that are being reeled-off in
these ‘promotions’. These fraudulent stories are the foundations for the ‘Hindu
Consciousness’ they are trying to create. Babur, Babri Masjid, Muslims are
invaders – traitors etc. are a web of conspiracies they are trying to spread,
upon which they are trying to create an illusion about Ram, Ayodhya, Hindu
sentiment, national hero – nationalism etc. As far as Hindu fanatics are
concerned, it is the duty and a pre-condition for every Indian citizen to
accept and worship Ram. Those who don’t accept or worship Ram are traitors.
This idea of ‘Hindu sentiment’ and ‘Muslim aversion’ has spread and has
poisoned the minds of majority of population; in many cases, this has happened
to many without their conscience. Fraudulent projection of Ram, as mentioned
above, is one of the primary reasons for that. In this given situation, it
becomes extremely important and urgent for us to examine and understand this in
detail; along with it, we should also be ready to shoulder the responsibility
for rooting-out such a fraudulent manifestation. To understand the real history of Ram,
who is being projected as a national hero, we should try to analyse the
ancient, medieval and modern histories of India in the light of dialectical
materialism i.e., the science of Marxism. The Hindu religion as mentioned in
varna and caste fanatic epics and puranas – Vedas & Upnishads - Aryan
invasion – racism etc tell us the stories of Brahmanism destroying the lives,
culture and civilizations of the Indian aboriginal tribes. We will have to
learn the entire history starting from the Indus valley civilization to what is
happening today, including origination of religions and saints who had sole
objective of opposing the oppressions and atrocities of brahminism –
sanscritisation – arrival of the Moghuls – relationship between the Hindu and
Muslim kings – historical reasons for the formation and destruction of kingdoms
– invasion by the English – division of India in 1947…
The current objective
of this pamphlet is not to deal with all of these; we will stop with examining
whether the ‘avtar’ Ram has qualities required for a real hero (b) whether the
‘invader’ Babur led an oppressive regime. If we go by the argument that all
invaders are occupiers, then Aryans were the first invaders into India. Story
of described in the ancient source tale Ramayana is nothing but a proud
description of how the Aryan invaders hunted down, tortured and killed the
Dravidians, Nagas, and other Indian aborigines. That original ancient tale
Ramayana is not in vogue anymore. A few hundred centuries later, Valmiki
created Ramayana with all qualities required for an Epic. From Valmiki’s time
to till date, Ramayana has undergone a number of changes, corrections and
insertions as it passed through the times of history. Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan
as shown on television and Valmiki’s Ramayan are too different from each other.
Under the rule of America, most of the Hollywood movies are getting dubbed into
most of the Indian local languages and are getting screened in small towns and
villages. Similarly, Ram’s story of invasion, was also translated into many
different languages all over India. Why and how these concepts from Aryan
epics, puranas, Vedas and upnishads invaded into Indian languages, arts,
culture and civilization? Majority of the aboriginal population was denied
right of education; spreading of such stories through arts and diluting the
culture served the purpose of inculcating the Aryan concepts of ‘discipline’
among the people and also to warn them about the punishments if such discipline
were not adhered to. Deepest and most detailed analysis of different versions
of Ramayana translated into a number of different South Asian languages will
reveal only Aryan qualities Rama. As per the order of his Rajguru Vashisht, Ram
kills Shambhuka, a shudra; Shambhuka’s only crime was doing penance with the
objective of attaining God directly without any help or assistance from the
fraudulent Bhraminical ‘intermediaries’. The aboriginal tribals were resisting
Vishwamitr, who had occupied their lands. Ram kills the Asura tribals and saves
Vishwamitr. Ram, like a coward, kills Vali, a master warrior, hiding from
behind. He also kills his own wife Sita by burning her alive, on suspicions
about her chastity - thus it was Ram, who initiated the culture of
daughters-in-law murders in India (due to male-chauvinistic suspicions as well
as dowry related murders). Ram, in totality, is a symbol of invasion and
occupation in India, who has committed gruesome murders of tribal and their
leaders like Ravana. Till date, Rama worship is not prevalent among majority of
the population in South, East, North West and North East India. So, Rama, who
is a symbol of racism, varna fanaticism, caste fanaticism and male-chauvinism,
CANNOT be accepted as a real hero. Instead, he has to be hated as one of the
worst and ghastly villains of our country.
Babur, like every
other king, wants to become an emperor. You cannot find any of the Aryan
qualities of Rama in Babur. Among the kings who fought against Babur, there are
Muslims as well as Hindus. It is Babur’s Hindu generals, who presented a number
of victories to Babur in many of the battles. There are historical records
which talk about Babur providing subsidies to a number of temples and also
Bhrahmins. In Babri-nama, a book with rare historical records, there is no
mention or even a hint about Babur demolishing any of the Hindu temples. He has
ordered demolition of naked Jain statues near Gwalior, that too with the
objective of protecting public decency.The same book Babri-nama talks about the
Will that Babur has written to his son Humayun (original Will document is also
said to be available in the State Library of Bhopal):- "My son take note
of the following: Do not harbor religious prejudice in your heart. You should
dispense justice while taking note of the people's religious sensitivities, and
rites. Avoid slaughtering cows in order that you could gain a place in the
heart of natives. This will take you nearer to the people. Do not demolish or
damage places of worship of any faith and dispense full justice to all to
ensure peace in the country. Islam can better be preached by the sword of love
and affection, rather than the sword of tyranny and persecution. Look at the
various characteristics of your people just as characteristics of various
seasons."
If we just compare
the hatred speeches of the saffron gang of our times with that of the thoughts
of religious harmony of a king some 500 years ago, we will come to know the
worthiness of Ram and his heirs. This Will of Babur is not a fraudulent
bhraminical legendary distortion; it is a historically documented record which
can never be denied. In his will to his son, a father need not write a lie.
Even if we assume that there had been a Ram temple, and even if Babur has
really demolished it, there is absolutely no need for Emperor Babur to hide it
at that time. Because, by no way he could not have predicted that the RSS
lunatics would accuse him 500 years later. Poor Babur, he did not have the Gyan
Drushti which was privy ONLY the ‘blessed’ bhramin rishis!! Still, the RSS and
other Hindu fanatic gang has created a number of lies and concocted tales about
Babur and other Mughul kings. Akbar, who came in the lineage of Babur, tried to
unite different religions. He brought together a number of good aspects from
different known religions of his period and created a new religion called
‘Dīn-i Ilāhī’. Akbar promoted tolerance of other faiths. In fact, not only did
he tolerate them, he encouraged debate on philosophical and religious issues.
Though his new religion was a failure, it was a very progressive thought for
that time. Though he faced strong opposition from bhramins, he banned cruel
practice of Sati. These are revealed in ‘Ayini Akbar’, a book which talks about
his history. A general analysis will reveal that Mughul kings, like all other
kings, were also exploiting people and were leading a sensuous life. But in
administration and social aspects, they were much more exemplary when compared
to Ram. In human history, there were a number of leaders whom we praise as
‘National Heroes’. These leaders understood the changes of their times,
understood the reasons behind peoples’ sufferings, and have lead and
participated in struggles for liberating people. Though the role of not leaders
are not primary, they are important.
Spartacus, who
organized the slaves of Rome, who have not even realised about their slavery,
to stand together and struggle for freedom and equality; Jesus who worked to
get rid of the cravings of the slaves; Mohammed, who regulated the lives of
Arabian ethnic nomads; Buddha, who dreamt of creating a fraternal community by
annihilating the brutal bhraminical rituals; Che Guevara who fought the
American Imperialism till his last breath; Kamal Basha who relieved Turkey from
the clutches of religious fanatics; Nelsan Mandela, who expended whole of youth
in prison in his struggle against the racism; Bhagat Singh, who gave new
confidence to the Indian youth in struggle against the British; the leaders of
Naxalbari and Telengana struggles; Ambedkar, Periyar, Mahatma Phule are all
National Heroes who have worked for betterment of lives of their fellow human
beings. Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao are great leaders who dreamt of
creating a communist society in future are fondly being remembered by the
proletariat all over the world. Thus history has created a number of
revolutionary leaders all through. But still these Hindu religious fanatics are
issuing decrees to celebrate Ram as a national hero. Does Ram have even a
single quality possessed by any one of these leaders?
Just for the sake of
argument, even if we assume that the story of Ram is true, what is that he has
done that is so extraordinary and precious? To save his father’s promise, he
went on to live in the forest as instructed by his aunt; he made his brother
the king, to rule the nation till his return; he conducted a huge battle,
leading to loss of thousands of lives, just to save his wife; ruled Ayodhya
again on his return. Still the only glory of Ram that every devotee of Rama,
preachers and the RSS clique repeatedly describes is that he has remained
faithful to his wife. Though there are claims contrary to that in Valmiki’s
Ramayana, let us, for the sake of argument, accept that it is true. If we have
to make a person a national hero, just for the sake of being faithful to his
wife, what should we say about the worthiness of that particular religion or
nation?
Thus, exposing all
these fraudulent concocted tales about ‘great’ avtar Rama is not just an
atheist debate – it is a freedom struggle against brahminical Hindu social
structure for relieving the whole society from the clutches of brahminical
deception. Ram is NOT A real hero; he is a villain.
