Parallels between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Brahminism
“Deceit for personal gain is one of history’s most recurring crimes.”
Indian Marxists and secularists are guilty of this crime. They have distorted history beyond belief for their selfish gains. Anti-Brahminism is perhaps the best illustration of this case. According to the anti-Brahminical narrative, Brahmins oppressed and persecuted tribals, Dalits and OBCs for many millennia. Contrary to this belief, there is no evidence to show that Brahmins, or other upper castes ever terrorised the lower classes. The modern caste rigidities and exploitation of lower castes are the results of moral degeneration that set in during the British rule.
Origin of the caste system
Britishers used the policy of divide and rule to create the caste system we know today. In 1851, Lord Elphinstone proclaimed, “Divide et empera was the old Roman motto, and it should be ours.” In other words, the British used the classic Roman tactic of “Divide and rule” to create arbitrary fault lines in the Hindu society in the name of caste.
Renowned British Sanskritist Sir M. Monier Williams, in his book Brahminism and Hinduism, wrote:
“The Portuguese, who were the first to trade with India, used the word ‘casta’, ‘race,’ to denote the infinite number of classes into which Indian society is divided. This word was changed by us into ‘caste’ — a word unrecognised by the natives.”
The British enforced the caste system zealously and institutionalised it. Some castes were preferred over others for certain jobs, while they labelled others as criminals. In 1871, British legislation enforced criminal tribes act, rendering 130 Hindu communities, or a third of all Hindus, criminals by birth. As a result, these groups were looked down upon. Moreover, British created new caste groups. In the census of 1901, a total 1616 castes were recognised, which increased to 4127 in 1921 census, within a short span of 20 years. They enumerated these new castes into rigid categories resulting in hardening of caste identities. Thus, the evil caste system that we know today came into being.
Nazi Anti-Semitism and Marxist Anti-Brahminism: Two sides of the same coin
Marxists have falsely blamed Brahmins for the conception of caste system. According to their concocted fables, Brahmins started the evil caste system to keep power in their hands. Brahmins are often portrayed as shrewd, manipulative and untrustworthy people who controlled the Indian society through the caste system. Contrarily, Brahmins were not very powerful or influential in most parts of the country.
But, it is said that we cannot find empirical evidence for Brahminical control over the Indian society because, “Brahmins worked in secretive ways.” This stereotype is strikingly similar to Nazi anti-Semitism. Nazis described Jews as devious connivers, who would do anything for personal gains. They were said to be secretive and untrustworthy, manipulating politics and the economy.
The anti-Brahmin propaganda is enforced time and again through the means of academia, popular cultural and mass media, just like the Nazi propaganda. School textbooks abound with passages vilifying Brahmins. For instance, Itihash O Bhugol, Part II, a textbook for school students of Bengal, regurgitates the standard Marxist anti-Brahminical theses,
“in the name of God, the Pundits extracted gifts for Puja and festivals. The pundits became oppressive and began living off the labour of others, becoming exploiters and oppressors. They were helped by kings and landlords. Shudras, slaves and the poor suffer most from religious persecution………….The upper caste men used to kill Shudras and wipe out entire villages on any excuse whatsoever.”
The book furnishes no proof for these claims !!!
On the contrary, Sir M. Monier Williams in his book, Brahminism and Hinduism, wrote:
“As a rule, however, the lower castes are not oppressed by the higher or even held in contempt by them. It is remarkable, too, that the lower the caste the more tenacious are its members of their own caste-rules and the more pride do they take in observing them, and the more strict are they in enforcing them.”
Perhaps the greatest hotbed of anti-Brahminism today is Tamil Nadu. Last month, the sacred thread of 10 Brahmin men were cut by a group of Periyarites in Chennai. Moreover, last year, in the same city, another group of Periyarites organised a sacred thread ceremony for pigs in an attempt to insult Brahmins.
Another parallel between anti-Brahminism in India and anti-Semitism of Nazi Germany is that, both Jews and Brahmins represent tiny fractions of their respective societies. Their small number makes them an easy target for hate. The Indian Marxists understand this well. They vilify Brahmins and create false narratives of Brahminical oppression in an attempt to mobilise Dalits against a common enemy for political gains. This is similar to what Nazis did in Germany. They mobilised Germans against Jews for political mileage. Such vilification of a particular community brings disastrous consequences. We all know, what did the Nazi anti-Semetism led to in Germany.
Lastly, perhaps the most important parallel is that any wrong that happens in India is immediately attributed to Brahmins or other upper castes. For instance, if a Dalit or a Muslim gets abused, the media immediately blames Brahmins or other upper caste people. But most of the time there is no involvement of any caste hatred in such incidents whatsoever. For instance, recently a Dalit youth was murdered in Gujrat. Mainstream media claimed that the boy was killed by upper caste men for “owning a horse.” Later this news turned out to be false. Police investigation revealed that the boy was killed for harassing school girls.
Similarly in Germany and other parts of Europe, any mishap was immediately attributed to Jews without a second thought. A wise man once said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
We must learn from the history of twentieth-century Europe, that how dangerous a propaganda like anti-semitism can be and what consequences it could have, before it is too late.

brahmins playing the victim card ? was there any brahmin holocaust ?
Golwalkar: How The Breed Of Kerala Hindus Was Improved By Namboodiri Brahmins
Now let us see the experiments our ancestors made in this sphere. In an effort to better the human species through cross-breeding the Namboodri Brahamanas of the North were settled in Kerala and a rule was laid down that the eldest son of a Namboodri family could marry only the daughter of Vaishya, Kashtriya or Shudra communities of Kerala. Another still more courageous rule was that the first off-spring of a married woman of any class must be fathered by a Namboodri Brahman and then she could beget children by her husband. Today this experiment will be called adultery but it was not so, as it was limited to the first child."

brahmins were responsible for the corruption and degradation of moral values in human society
How The Caste System Forces Dalit Women Into Prostitution
At times, priests convince the parents that dedicating their daughters would help family members be reborn as Brahmins in their next life. They even allow family members the right to enter temples normally closed off to the lower castes. At other times, rich landowners exploit families by paying for the girl’s dedication as a devadasi in exchange for spending the first few nights with her
When priests and other upper caste men sleep with a devadasi, they claim it is the goddess’ desires that they are appeasing
https://www.youthkiawaaz.com/2015/06/caste-and-prostitution/
Kerala - only brahmin women were allowed to cover their breast
The dalit (called low caste and out caste) where not allowed to cover their breasts,and forbidden by force to uncover, if they covered. unfortunately the royal family of kerala didnot support lower caste(dalit) woman covering their breasts
“The caste law prohibits a Nair lady to cover her breast. There are instances of cruelties inflicted upon the ladies for violating these laws. An Ezhava lady who happened to travel abroad and returned well dressed was summoned by the Queen of Attingal and her breast was cut off for covering them
finally in 1865 british governor of madras(now called chennai) who had power over kerala (travncore) king ;passed a legislation ;to cover breasts of all women irrespective of caste or religion.this ruling had to be followed by the king of travancore also

A nun's story: sex, affairs and priests you can't refuse
https://www.firstpost.com/india/a-nuns-story-sex-affairs-and-priests-you-cant-refuse-267394.html
Barely two years after it was slammed by “An Autobiography of a Nun” that catalogued the lurid details of bullying, sexual abuse and homosexuality,”the Catholic Church in Kerala is set for another attack by a former nun.
Sixty-eight-year-old Sister Mary, who left her Catholic congregation in Kerala 13 years ago in disgust after 40 years of nunhood, is ready with her exposé. In a biographical sketch titled Nanma Niranjavare Swasthi, to be released next week, she heaps more ignominy on the Church.
Sister Mary talks in vivid detail about the extreme pain she had to endure during her tenure with the congregation: physical and psychological oppression, the sexual permissiveness and abuse prevalent among some of the nuns and priests, and the harassment she faced for sticking to her values and commitment to service.
She also talks about the miserable sense of abandonment, rathen than sacrifice or service, that some of the nuns feel.
For the Catholic church in Kerala which is already under attack with a wide range of allegations ranging from oppression of its nuns, abuse, suicides and inappropriate sexual behaviour, the new book will certainly be further bad publicity.
Two biographical accounts; one by Jesme Raphael who gave up the nun’s robes after 26 years of service (2009) and another by a male priest, KP Shibu Kalaparambil who left after 24 years in white (2010); had in the recent past, dented the reputation and order of the Catholic Church. Both of them had explosive revelations including sexual exploitation of women and men.
In her memoirs Sister Mary, born in the Palai area of eastern Kerala, describes how she wanted to be a nun at the age of 13 and ran away from home to a Catholic congregation. Although she “found her path of service at the altar of the god”, what awaited her was four decades of hardship, betrayal and absolute disappointment.
Unable to take it anymore, she abandoned her robes in 1999 but continued her service to humanity by establishing a modest orphanage at Wayanad in north Kerala. According to Jose Pazhukaran, the writer who helped Mary put together the memoir, she literally begs door-to-door to raise the resources for her orphanage. “She is now doing what she couldn’t accomplish as a nun - to serve humanity and be a mother to abandoned children,” says Pazhukaran.
“There was a lot of unbearable pain and humiliation. Some ran away, some committed suicide. I endured all the pain because of the priest’s words at my first communion as a nun - you should be ready to follow the path of Jesus Christ. These words are still throbbing in my heart and that is why I am a mother of orphans,” says Sister Mary.
Firstpost has gained exclusive access to the excerpts of the book to be published next week by Kairali Books, Kannur.
Translations of two chapters of the book are given below:
Those who read sex magazines
Some of the nuns used to read books with filthy pictures. I used to wonder how they laid their hands on them. Once I noticed that one of the nuns mostly stayed in her room with the doors bolted.
She was very good looking and otherwise active, but I didn’t clearly understand the “clandestine things” she was up to.
One day, I found out that she was reading a filthy magazine. A magazine that had pictures of naked men and women. I was very upset. Once you pledge yourself to be a nun, such temptations can compel you to give in. Privately, I admonished her and warned her that she should not repeat it, lest I should tell the the matron of the provinciate. I also promised her that I wouldn’t tell anybody. I used to wonder who got them those magazines.
Sister Mary presently runs an orphanage in north Kerala. Firstpost
I also resented the male priests coming to the convent without any reason. I really didn’t like how some nuns spent so much time with them and flirted with them. I thought that it could lead them to wrongdoings that could bring disrepute to the congregation. I complained to the mother, but she kept evading it.
Most of the time, what you saw if you accidentally walked into a room of the nuns was shameful. I haven’t seen even a handful of them who were chaste. I just told myself that what comes from flesh has to be flesh.
There was this church hospital at one of the convents when I spent my time there. The hospital was adjacent to the church. I came to know that a doctor at the hospital and a nun had an affair. Once when a patient was brought to the hospital in a critical condition, the doctor was found missing. We, the nuns, frantically searched for him; but he was nowhere to be seen.
Knowing their closeness to each other, I somehow felt that he would be closeted with the nun somewhere. Finally, my search led to a room from which I heard hushed voices. I brought them out of the room and angrily told them that such behaviour wouldn’t work.
I didn’t know what they were doing in the room, but I am sure it wasn’t something good. I told him that a doctor is worthless if he cannot attend to a patient in an emergency.
Many others also advised the nun that she could get out of the robe and marry so that the congregation’s name is not sullied. The mother, an Italian named Luccia, was informed too. I told her in Italian that those two had been carrying on for a while and they should be thrown out.
The issue simmered for some time and both the doctor and the nun went back to their old ways. Subsequently, the doctor even threatened to kill me. But, almost everyone seemed to side with them and I felt isolated. I just had to ignore what was happening.
They got married later and the nun left the congregation.
I was really disgusted with the way the convent worked and was really reluctant to continue there. It even affected my taking the communion and my confessions. I felt disgusted the way some uncommitted priests conducted the church rituals. They were plain perfunctory.
There was a practice of assigning daily duty for everyone in the convent. To avoid work that they didn’t like, such as farming, some nuns stayed in their rooms. They mostly seemed to feel that they had lost something in life.
40 years of my life as a nun went through such contradictions.
Right from my childhood, I handled the difficulties I faced without letting my family and others know. Therefore, this sense of aloofness was growing in me. In fact, I realise only now that on such situations Mother Mary was giving me the mental strength.
Continues on the next page
Raping fathers
Those who didn’t oblige the priests were always in trouble. They get pained in some way or the other. Some think that the oath of discipline that you take while accepting the nun’s robe is to be subservient to such men.
Such an incident happened to me as well. As somebody who had thought of Jesus Christ as the only savior since the age of six, this experience pained me immensely.
This incident, in which a priest tried to molest me and I hit him with a wooden stool in self defence, became a big issue at the congregation. Although I was the one outraged, in their eyes, I was the culprit. The unwritten rule was: whatever the priests did, nobody could question them.
Sister Mary said a priest had attempted to molest her. I was only twenty then.
The incident happened at the Chevayaoor convent. There was this practice of serving breakfast to the priests after the morning communion. Sometimes, it was sent to the church. The nuns needed to take turns to cook for them and serve them.
I used to get nervous whenever my turn came because I wasn’t good with cooking and would certainly be criticised for that. Nobody used to help me or advise me. Instead, they seemed to get some vicarious pleasure by pointing out the mistakes. I used to find it very painful.
Okay, let’s get into the incident. Once, I was assigned to cook and serve a priest who finished the communion (I don’t want to name him though). I went to the dining hall with egg curry and 'appam'. He came in, washed his hands and bolted the door before taking his seat.
He asked me to serve; but sensing some mischief, I stayed away. When he persisted, I started shivering with fear. At that moment, I deeply hated the rule that one should obey whatever the priests orders.
The priest got up, came to me and grabbed my hands.
Don’t you know all this, Sister Mary?, he asked.
When I cried, he tried to pull me close to his chest. I relieved myself and ran, but he chased me around the table. I really got wild as I used to do when I was a child on such situations. I got hold of a wooden stool in front of me and hit him hard.
It fell on his head and he started bleeding profusely. I got both sad and scared although I did it in self-defence - he was a priest. I screamed in fear and rushed out of the room and told everyone what happened. But most of them appeared indifferent and started scolding me.
"What did you do, are you out to shame the congregation?"
When they went into the room , the priest was on his chair, speechless and drenched in blood. He was taken to the Kozhikode medical college hospital where it was reported that he fell in the bathroom.
I was the target of tremendous ire after that incident. When everybody walked away from me as if I was a proclaimed offender I prayed hard. But when I realised that it was the way things worked, I really got scared that I was trapped in serious danger. Since then, I was marked; a thorn in the flesh for the congregation.
Opposing wrongdoings was my character and that was the reason for all the conflicts that I faced in life as a nun. I wasn’t ready to blindly accept the priests and the church without looking at their deeds.
Sensing the situation I was in, Father Peter called for me one day. I told him every thing. I cried a lot in front of him. He consoled me and advised me to handle the Church and people with restraint.
But, the other nuns by then had branded me as a rogue. Nobody pointed out what was the ground for my disobedience. Since then, I was a nuisance for them. Sister Betty was the only consolation.
Since I was termed disobedient right from my stay at the novitiate, my nunhood had to wait for six months. The priests believe that they had the complete control of the nuns. They believe that they are the ultimate owners of the Church, its properties and the believers.
When people get sexually exploited, their belief gets affected; that is what is happening now. Some people commit suicide when they are unable to cope with this reality.
The priest who was hit by me is a good friend now and calls me often to enquire about my well being. He also tells me that my response has reformed him.

I was really disgusted with the way the convent worked and was really reluctant to continue there. It even affected my taking the communion and my confessions. I felt disgusted the way some uncommitted priests conducted the church rituals. They were plain perfunctory.
There was a practice of assigning daily duty for everyone in the convent. To avoid work that they didn’t like, such as farming, some nuns stayed in their rooms. They mostly seemed to feel that they had lost something in life.
40 years of my life as a nun went through such contradictions.
Right from my childhood, I handled the difficulties I faced without letting my family and others know. Therefore, this sense of aloofness was growing in me. In fact, I realise only now that on such situations Mother Mary was giving me the mental strength.

Raping fathers
Those who didn’t oblige the priests were always in trouble. They get pained in some way or the other. Some think that the oath of discipline that you take while accepting the nun’s robe is to be subservient to such men.
Such an incident happened to me as well. As somebody who had thought of Jesus Christ as the only savior since the age of six, this experience pained me immensely.
This incident, in which a priest tried to molest me and I hit him with a wooden stool in self defence, became a big issue at the congregation. Although I was the one outraged, in their eyes, I was the culprit. The unwritten rule was: whatever the priests did, nobody could question them.
Sister Mary said a priest had attempted to molest her. I was only twenty then.
The incident happened at the Chevayaoor convent. There was this practice of serving breakfast to the priests after the morning communion. Sometimes, it was sent to the church. The nuns needed to take turns to cook for them and serve them.
I used to get nervous whenever my turn came because I wasn’t good with cooking and would certainly be criticised for that. Nobody used to help me or advise me. Instead, they seemed to get some vicarious pleasure by pointing out the mistakes. I used to find it very painful.
Okay, let’s get into the incident. Once, I was assigned to cook and serve a priest who finished the communion (I don’t want to name him though). I went to the dining hall with egg curry and 'appam'. He came in, washed his hands and bolted the door before taking his seat.
He asked me to serve; but sensing some mischief, I stayed away. When he persisted, I started shivering with fear. At that moment, I deeply hated the rule that one should obey whatever the priests orders.
The priest got up, came to me and grabbed my hands.
Don’t you know all this, Sister Mary?, he asked.
When I cried, he tried to pull me close to his chest. I relieved myself and ran, but he chased me around the table. I really got wild as I used to do when I was a child on such situations. I got hold of a wooden stool in front of me and hit him hard.
It fell on his head and he started bleeding profusely. I got both sad and scared although I did it in self-defence - he was a priest. I screamed in fear and rushed out of the room and told everyone what happened. But most of them appeared indifferent and started scolding me.
"What did you do, are you out to shame the congregation?"
When they went into the room , the priest was on his chair, speechless and drenched in blood. He was taken to the Kozhikode medical college hospital where it was reported that he fell in the bathroom.
I was the target of tremendous ire after that incident. When everybody walked away from me as if I was a proclaimed offender I prayed hard. But when I realised that it was the way things worked, I really got scared that I was trapped in serious danger. Since then, I was marked; a thorn in the flesh for the congregation.
Opposing wrongdoings was my character and that was the reason for all the conflicts that I faced in life as a nun. I wasn’t ready to blindly accept the priests and the church without looking at their deeds.
Sensing the situation I was in, Father Peter called for me one day. I told him every thing. I cried a lot in front of him. He consoled me and advised me to handle the Church and people with restraint.
But, the other nuns by then had branded me as a rogue. Nobody pointed out what was the ground for my disobedience. Since then, I was a nuisance for them. Sister Betty was the only consolation.
Since I was termed disobedient right from my stay at the novitiate, my nunhood had to wait for six months. The priests believe that they had the complete control of the nuns. They believe that they are the ultimate owners of the Church, its properties and the believers.
When people get sexually exploited, their belief gets affected; that is what is happening now. Some people commit suicide when they are unable to cope with this reality.
The priest who was hit by me is a good friend now and calls me often to enquire about my well being. He also tells me that my response has reformed him.

On thread :
As a pure brahmin I find this offensive.
We consider our selves children of the God/his chosen people whom he reveled his original teachings thousands of years ago even before there was anything like Jews.
We take pride in carrying bloodline of God before anything, even money.
For us Dayus pita/Indra/Ahura Mazda/God/Hashim/Tengri comes first and foremost. And we always agreed that he is the One.
That's why we say "Bhagwan/Ishwar tumhara bhala kre." That Bhagwan or Ishwar is the Indra, our one and only God, protector and father.
He is the one who protects us and he is the one who punishes us. The Almighty one.
@padamchen you might find this thread interesting, our Chinese friend will also post something about buddhist gurus soon.
Anti-Brahmanism is Brahmanopobia hemch racism against us.
But we don't care actually. As long as God is with us we will be fine.
God God has told is that those who will bless Brahmins I will bless them, those who will cuse Brahmins will get curse in return.
We are advised to pray to the God and pray for the Rightful Kings who protrpro the world in this world.
Indra is above all, his is the master of all 3 universes and Rta the moral code of conduct.
He will protect us.

Hmm ,do you even know we brahmins banned animal sacrifices in the religious rituals more than two thousand years ago?
