Ravana was a dalit from Ghaziabad: BJP leader Subramanian Swamy

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

Varanasi: Bharatiya Janata Party leader Subramanian Swamy said that content of history text books in schools was rubbish and the time has come when the Centre should make necessary changes. He was addressing a seminar on 'I and my India' hosted by Youth in Action at Swatantrata Bhawan on Banaras Hindu University campus on Saturday.

Swamy surprised the gathering with his historical finding that demon king Ravana and his wife Mandodari were dalits from UP. He said that Ravana was born at Basrakh near Ghaziabad while Mandodari was from Meerut region. After being blessed by Lord Shiva, Ravana dethroned Kuber to capture power in Lanka.

The history being taught in schools was written during British era, when the Indian society was divided by drawing a line in the name of Aryan and Dravidian, said Swamy. Instead of legendary personalities of country, invaders like Babar and Sher Shah Suri are being taught to children. Terming existing education system as divisive for country, he said that the education structure divides Hindus and Muslims. Differences were created on caste lines. Sanskrit, regional and folk languages were marginalized to maintain the monopoly of English. He said that BJP will promote indigenous and value-based educational system.

He again said that all who have born on this soil are Hindus and it could be proved by testing their DNA. Muslims of the country also know this fact but it does not suit their clerics, he added.

Ravana was a dalit from Ghaziabad: Swamy - The Times of India

Fool ravana was Brahmin of agnihotri clan a grandchild of great sage prajapati pultsya.Rama description of him being mahapandit "knowledge of all shastra's and scripts he was scholar of 4 vedas". Immposible that a dalit was master of all vedas that time-period.

I think here it Mr Swamy is trying to say that dalits can reach to the level of Brahmins even during this era and giving that example by talking about Ravana and Mandodari. Praveen Togadia claimed that all are Hindus and now Mr Swamy said that Ravana was Dalit.

But the main thing which Mr Swamy is saying is to change the education system

Was BJP elected for fixing the Indian economy or bringing up religious issues and ancient Indian achievements. Are all these religious storyline a cover in case Modi fail to deliver his economic promises? This kind of distraction happens with governments not confident with the economic solutions.

From all the recent news, it look like Modi was chosen for religious reasons. The Muslim genocide acquittal is becoming more of an incorrect ruling with every statement from his cronies.

First of all change all the term start with GAZI ...These barbarian shouldn't have any place on earth in their name except across west borders.....

But the one issue that stood out is religion conversions or ancient Indian glories such as ancient Indian nukes. Everything else is in the back burner.
