DALITS BRAHMINS AND THE COW 

 

 

Like the Twenty-One Gun Salutes

To Visiting Dignitaries these days

Aryans of yore slaughtered Cows!

 

As big sacrifice Twenty-One Cows

To please and fool the Kings - and

Placate their stupid gods goddesses!

 

While Indra was very fond of Bulls

Agni relished both Buffaloes Cows

And also the Meat of young Horses!

 

The brahmins slow stupid are lazy,

Like the Buffaloes and Cows they

Had been stealing from our homes!

 

 

The brahmins covet others wealth, women, riches and properties.  That is why they are always secretive, eat alone unseen by others, keep their money and wealth handy and small enough in the form of high value items, that are easy to be hidden and carried off when necessary.  Hence their preference for gold and diamonds.  They had no respect for women, kept their women mostly as prisoners, production machines and private properties in their homes.  They had a great fear of other men, particularly the hardworking Shudras and the Ati-Shudra Dalits.  They carefully kept their women far away from them.  One of the reasons for specially keeping away the manly bold masculine working class of people through differential distancing of the castes from the brahmins, was this fear and their urge to protect their women from any possible sexual contacts with the local people. Here, the castes and the concepts of purity and pollution came in very handy.  That way, it was rather un-suspectable easily enforceable and conveniently manageable.  But they also used their women, particularly the artistically young and experienced as special tools to easily influence, wean, buy and get undue personal benefits and extraordinary advantages from those in authority, power, Govts, the rulers and kings.  That practice and strategy of the brahmins continues till date.

 

The brahmins came to India first, in search of food and fodder for their cattle.  Hearing from the traders and travelers, many tales of prosperity, fertility, riches and wealth of the Indus Valley, they were initially interested in making their lives, acquire wealth and riches in the New Land.  But seeing the real fertility, wealth and prosperity of the Indus Valley Civilisation, they became very jealous and highly greedy.  They cunningly developed many sinister methods of cheating and subverting the Indus Valley People.  They readily joined hands with subsequent waves of invaders to loot swindle and destroy the Indus Valley People and Civilisation completely from the face of the earth.  In course of time, they emerged to be the biggest cheats and silent criminals on the earth.  They always come as beggars and ultimately swindle to appropriate everything.  They are therefore big frauds thieves looters and merciless destroyers.  They are crude heartless sly operators.  Acting as priests, or claiming to be scholars or teachers is a big ruse to cheat and swindle the people.  It came in very handy to fool the kings and queens and the masses.  It helped them to become advisers and ministers.  They collected as expiratory offerings to pacify the angry gods and goddesses, overcome the annoyance of the heavenly authorities, or just as penalties to make amends or atone what all were considered as mistakes and or personal sins.  They collected as offerings and or as gifts only valuable things from food to fruits, cloth to wealth, gold to gems, women to wine and land, under the cover of soothing the displeasures of the forces that be on earth or in the heavens.  They ate everything, except – for reasons not known, the camels.  May be because they still want to be thankful and grateful to those, for having been very useful to them during their old difficult days in the Central Asian Deserts.  Manu also had a great value for the Camel, but not the Cow.  He and other brahmins of his time ate all animals, other than the very valuable Camel.  They did not at times spare even the dog-meat.  Even today, brahmins cook feed and eat the meat of animals including buffaloes forced to be sacrificed to the goddess Kamakhya in Assam. 

 

Kings used to specially slaughter cows to feed the brahmins.  King Ratideva butchered for the brahmins 2000 cows every day.  That is why the brahmins came to be known as the Bhojana Piriyars, which literally meant ‘Food Lovers’ and the saying – Padhi Rotikaga Artha Rathiriyile Kadha Dhooram Pogubhavan Parpan, which sticks to them always.  That means that – The brahmin is one who will walk many kilometers even in the middle of the night for just half a slice of bread.  The brahmins made such free feeding of the brahmins the principle duty of the kings and big authorities, and slowly turned the kings, other rulers, officials and other authorities away from Statecraft and the people.   The brahmins greed and lust were limitless.  They took from the people what all they needed, wanted more than their needs, met their eyes, and more to satisfy their unquenchable thirst and endless greed.  Even beyond they desired to take away whatever the people had.  That is both as a result of their greed and habit, as also their sadistic desires to keep the people deprived and leave them as much as possible poor helpless without any material possessions.  Whatever they took from the poor but could not consume, they hoarded, or silently and stealthily sold away with the help of the baniyas.  Further surpluses and those they could not preserve and store, and other perishable items, the evil brahmins wasted by throwing them in the fire of their yagnas, as offerings to Agni; or pouring them on the stone clay and wooden heads of their stupid gods and goddesses, or even on the Lingas.  

 

Over a period of time the brahmins became a curse on the State.  That is how the Indian States and their rulers repeatedly failed miserably, and the Country slid down to become and remain as one of the most backward and poor Nations of the World.  Since the brahmins took the space of being scholars and priests in the society, and became advisers to the kings rulers and the powerful, they could only prove to be shallow scholars, hollow priests and false advisers.  That is why there never was any worthwhile, useful or practical intellectual input in this Country after the destruction of the Indus Valley Civilisation by the Aryan brahmins.  They only busied themselves in forcing the foolish kings, rulers, officials, authorities and the rich in building small temples everywhere.  They were to prove to be places of living for the brahmins, sources of plentiful rich nutrient food easy earnings unlimited wealth.  The temples in course of time became centers of exploitation, influence, fraud and debauchery.  And the People Society States Govts and the Nation as a whole suffered and made no progress.  So there were no developments, no achievements.  And the Country had to gulp repeated humiliations, suffer many a defeats, and face a number of losses.

 

The brahmins were only interested in food and eating.  Being very big voracious eaters, they are symbolised by their potbellies.  Being the most lazy parasites they are known for their dirty habits and unclean unshaven appearances.  One could hardly keep their company, because they used to stink horribly, due to improperly washed clothes, ritualistic bath of taking an hurried dip in cold water in early morning hours, or pouring a pot of water over their heads pretending to have taken a bath.  They did those mostly with their clothes on, and never used soap either to take bath or wash themselves and their clothes.  After such bath, they would either leave their clothes as a lump or heap to dry, or just rinse in the water and leave them in a clump to dry; or go about their business in the wet clothes till they dry or they choose to change.  As a result, their clothes were never white, became grey and yellowish, and soon turned in colour to almost saffron – the colour of their fundamentalists even today. 

 

The brahmins never used to brush their teeth, or used any paste to clean their teeth, claiming that the brush and paste would spoil their teeth.  They only used to gargle and spit out the water, or at the most used their fingers and their holy Thulsi Leaves known otherwise for medicinal and therapeutic values.  Because of not brushing of their teeth, they had all gone yellowish and black with tartar and rubbish, adding to their stink.  Their girls and women also suffer from these drawbacks.  They also stink of cow dung and urine.  Yet the brahmins were mortally scared and extremely scared. 

 

Normally as a rule, the brahmins never allowed their females to go anywhere out of their houses unescorted, except to the palaces and the residences of the rulers etc, for obvious reasons, generally not discussed, studied or recorded.  Many of the brahmin girls excelled in the art of being affectedly coy, excessively talkative, extraordinarily expressive, trained singers, and professionally exclusive private dancers dancing in palaces of the kings and rulers in privy, for the exclusive eyes of the ruler or the king. Not used to hard or outdoor work, they remained slim or attractive when young or out of poverty since their men generally did never worked to have a regular and reliable income.  Yet no one other than the kings and rulers aspired for them.  That is because of their dirty habits, unwashed clothes, unbrushed teeth, stinking mouth, smelly personality, and unreliable untrustworthy unfaithful unfidel characters.   Perhaps because they don’t brush their teeth and stink horribly in the mouth, they consider mouth as the dirtiest part of all animals.  Hence the mouth of their holy cows, whose urine is very sacred and purifying for the stupid orthodox brahmins even today, are considered to be very polluting. 

 

Many Stories like the epics were conceived by the brahmins to fool cheat and swindle the people, and also propagate all the meaningless and stupid vedic beliefs and practices; and to strengthen the hold of the brahmins on the stupid kings, foolish queens, helpless States, simple people and nameless masses.   They preached violence on all the thinking wise and independent people.   Those who were concerned at the dubious and destructive nature of the cunning brahmins were very worried.  It is because of them, that the Upanishads were written as anti-thesis’s of the exploitative vedas, and enunciated non-violence.  These were not only anti-vedic, and also against all beliefs and practices of vedic-rites, but were against all forms of manipulations and oppressions of the poor and the helpless, by the brahmins.  Following these noble traditions of the wise and the thinkers, came many sincere honest and great personalities.  Gautama Buddha and Mahavira were natural products of that milieu.  These two Great Noble Wise Men preached the Doctrine of non-Violence to even the Kings the Queens and the common People.  Ashoka the Great Warrior and King Emperor was the Noblest amongst them all who accepted Buddha, Buddhism and non-Violence.  He made non-Violence and meaningless killings of the helpless and the animals a crime.  Even Ashoka did not include Cow in the list of animals prohibited from slaughter.  For beef and pork were the poor common man’s food.  They were also cheap easy and plentiful sources of rich nutrient food. 

 

Gautama Buddha also ate beef and pork.  Buddha, yes, was against all forms of Animal Sacrifices by the brahmins to all those endless lists of brahmin’s own and adopted gods and goddesses.  Gautam Buddha considered all sacrifices, either to the Kings or Queens, or to the Gods and Goddesses, and on the top of it burning them alive or dead in fire, as sacrifices to Agni during the yagnas or any other special occasions, as nothing but wasteful, meaningless and barbaric and cruel.  Sita had vowed to sacrifice thousand Cows and hundred jars of wine to Yamuna.  It is such meaningless sacrifices and show of power and wealth that Gautam Buddha resented.  Buddha was also against violences by the kings and queens against the people of their own States or against the People of other Nations due to clashes of egos and games of war.  But at the same time, Gautam Buddha did never believe in coming in the way of the food of either the brahmins or the common people.  For, beef and the meat of other animals were very important part of the food of people, Medicare, and other offerings to guests etc. 

 

References of cow slaughter could be found as recently as in the eighteenth century India.  Sami Vivekanand in the eighteenth century not only ate beef while in USA, but had also vehemently defended his action.  In the first half of this century, brewing of beef-tea was developed to help patients recuperate from sicknesses.   Even today, hundreds of communities in different parts of the Country, including Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, SC Dalits and many ST Dalits, as well as many so-called hindus take Beef as a regular part of their food.  And to top them all, many millions of brahmins, and their kshatriya and baniya partners, in the loot of this poor Country and the People living here-in take beef while visiting or living in the middle-east, south-east, Russia, Europe, Africa, USA, Australia, New-Zealand etc.  Often they prefer beef for its taste, nutrient value, or because it is cheaper than other food items, or other meat, or their popular chicken.

 

The brahmins like the urchins on the street, can not give up cow!  From its sacrifice to worship, and stealthily eating it, they have a very long way – almost a complete-big-circle.  Perhaps, only perhaps they have madly taken this full circle, to counter the influences of Buddhism, Jainism and to escape from the criticisms of the people for their cruel practices of senseless sacrifices and wasteful butchering of useful domestic animals of the common people.  They have now taken to the base practices like consuming as elixir, the repulsive mixture of cow-dung and urine along with its milk, curd and butter as Panchagam – their purifactor.  Only missing items are the cows’ saliva, blood and meat. 

 

The real truth of brahmin double-dealing is visible when we realise that in the while of sub-Continental India, there does not exist one Temple for their Holy-Cow.  Nor is there any cow god or cow-headed goddess, amongst the thousands and thousands of gods and goddesses!
