Markets and caste - 7

The God, the markets, the innately superior upper castes the dogs, the Shudras and the untouchables. How much God benefits out of it, is still to be calculated. Somebody has to do this tedious and adharmic job. The God must have gotten awfully rich but He has no need for any kind of riches. So where have such riches gone? Nobody knows. Nobody dares to know. Here the cowardice emerges as a pious attribute, people take pride in possessing such cowardice and it is also gospelled as one of the elements of great Indian cultural heritage. See nobody asks a question. The infamous hell is waiting for people who dare to ask the ultimate use of their hard earned money given for religious purpose. They will be born as leeches and worms in their next lives. Most of the time their money and labor go to fill the coffers of permanent exploiters. The soul never dies. This unpunishable soul must be punished for such questions. The religious cowardice and religious unanswerability are all pervading in their respective segments; the cowardice in lower and unaswerability in upper.

The upper caste people do not understand the concept of deprivation because they have never experienced it as a community. They are living in a society which actively, vehementically and as a mater of principle, deprives untouchables of social, economical and political opportunities and leaves them surplus barely for their sustenance that is very near to starving level. The starving and weak people are good for the welfare of the divine dharma. The source of this is the divinely ordained Varna dharma devised by pious and pure lawmakers. It neatly fits in the preference for the open market system based on efficiency and merit. The same society goes on deliberately providing opportunities for the high caste privileged people on a lavish and permanent scale. Any the insulted majority is born to serve them. The privilege of walking freely on the streets of villages is not available to every fifth Hindu. It requires them to be born in a different caste. Taking birth in any caste should have been a voluntary process; but the God, out of his absent mindedness, forgot to make it so. Instead the God created lawmakers who created Karma theory and condemned majority of people to sub standard life. These people are preferred in market place does not mean that others are also allowed the same extraordinary privilege. Certainly, the market is much more important than the village streets. The rules, which are applicable to village streets, must strictly be applicable to market also.

Then again the question is that why should the present generations of lower strata should suffer for the misdeeds of the ancestors of present upper castes. Why, indeed why? The present generations of lower castes have to suffer because the damage done to their community by the glorified ancestors of present upper castes was permanent in nature. One man in the past simply did not kill the other in a one sided manner. But the whole community was deliberately paralyzed. The damage did not end with the demise of two persons concerned, in the past. It enclosed the untouchables in state of permanent degradation and the Shudras in a little less level of degradation. It was proudly and gloriously carried forward. No guilt, no responsibility, and the clear conscious shines brightly with an impeachable conscience. The merit reigns supreme as it reigned supreme in the times when untouchables were not allowed to read, not allowed to carry arms, not allowed to own property. The merit reigned supreme in the closed gates of Varna dharma. All the entire positions of crucial importance were occupied by the upper caste from where they guided the wretched destinies of others, in a downward direction. The reasons for unimpeachable merit residing within the fort of Varna dharma are not known. Usually merit does not need protection. But then the ancestors of upper castes were very intelligent. They knew what was to be done. Paralyzing whole communities was not below their ethics or morality; very ethical and moral. They always had high level of ethics and morality. There should be no doubt about it and they will surely do it in the future. The account should be made clear.

A further important point is raised by the upper caste candidates. Why should they suffer for the wrongs committed by their forefathers? A point indeed - nobody should suffer for the crimes not committed by him. The justice demands it. Additionally it is perfectly logical. If it is not logic on their side then it is great cultural heritage. They always find something to fall back upon, very resourceful people. However the point raised by them, is very reasonable. The present generation of upper castes should not be punished for the ghastly crimes committed by their dastardly ancestors. Oh sorry – they should not be punished for the small trivial acts of their esteemed, intelligent, moral, spiritual, ethical, honest, pious and pure ancestors who have left a great cultural heritage for their future generations.


However through this argument they disown their own forefathers. They are disassociating themselves from their ancestors. This kind of disassociation is not allowed by Hindu society. A Chamar is always a Chamar since his forefathers were Chamars. A Bhangi is always a Bhangi since his forefathers were Bhangis. It is ordained by the Hindu society. The Indian Constitutions forbids it but that hardly matters. If a Chamars wants to disown his forefathers then he is not allowed, barring few exceptions. If a Bhangi wants to disown his forefather then he is not allowed so. His identity will always be that of his forefathers. Now the pillars of the society want the privilege of disowning the forefathers for themselves. Sure they will have to suffer for thousands of years in hell for disowning their forefathers but that is none of our concern. They want to cut themselves off from their ancestors’ atrocities but still enjoy the facilities provided by the foundation created and resources accumulated by their ancestors because of their privileged caste positions. Actually it is part of great civilization with its great cultural heritage. This great cultural heritage always seems to have benefited the castes at the top. It dislikes lower two strata. And even goes hating and making some people untouchables. The present generations of upper castes do not want to be known as the inheritors of oppressors, tormentors, killers and permanent exploiters.

However, there are some objections to the policy of reservations. These objections have mainly come from the anguished portion of resourceful community of upper castes. These affected resourceful people who have everything in the society and economy find that they have been discriminated against by the policy of reservations. Their rightful jobs and education seats are being taken away by the undeserving candidates from lower strata who do not want to work hard and earn their seats through merit. This is a democratic system and such a system of reservations is against the fundamental equality provided by the Constitution. Any thing, which happened in the past, is none of their concern. The past is past and let us look at the future and move forward. They are supposedly interested in making a meritorious and efficient India. Social justice and atrocities are none of their concerns. Paralyzing 20 percent of Hindus is none of their concern. The unofficial caste system, which favors them, is supposedly non-existent. That they have all their own selectors in all the fields is none of their concerns. These selectors who select the people from upper castes do not enter into their calculations. Their future is at stake and only that matters. Of course it is all in the name of making a meritorious India. The reservations promote the inefficiency in the system and frustration in upper caste candidates. It promotes laziness and laggardness in the candidates from reserved category. The commitments and sincerity of bright and brilliant upper caste candidates are punished. It creates brain drain out of country. The open market system is the best, which does not take into consideration the caste of a participant. All participants are equal, some are more equal than others; see the caste tells. The reservations promote the conflict, alienation and uneasiness among the different categories of people in any institute or office. Reverse discrimination is not the way to help these people. These people should be helped through scholarship etc.; in other words these dastardly people should stay where they were until historically honest moral and ethical upper caste selectors select them out of charity and compassion for the lower most jobs. You must see how many untouchables are there where the jobs are not reserved for them; it would assure you of honesty, sincerity and unbiasedness of upper caste selectors who are free from any kind of low level prejudice. If untouchables are not found there then it means that these people are not fit for such kinds of jobs. The lower level people cannot be free of any kind of prejudice; only high level people can do it because of their cultured upbringing.
