Hearing that Mayawati supports reservation based on "poverty", irrespective of caste, I felt that she would make a good PM for our country. She is a "uniter" NOT a "divider". Too many politicians are running politics as a business - the main capital for it is "caste" - Use Caste, then "Divide and Rule". The question for all Indians: "How long can we run our politics anchored to caste - special privileges for certain castes - without any attempt to work for economic and educational betterment for the country as a whole? Other irrationalities: In TamilNadu a whole generation of Tamil politicians have become very very rich using this Aryan-Dravidian theory - Aryans are bad people, Dravidians are good. The theory is suspect, in any case. But even if it is true, there is no way anyone can ever prove which Indian is Aryan and which one is "Dravidian" - it is NOT dependent upon skin colour, see. Sadly, many Tamils have an inferiority complex about their dark complexion. In current Tamil movies you will find the heroine always to be fair (usually, brahmin-looking) while the hero is dark (usually, looks like a handsome auto-ricksaw driver). A Freudian interpretation of this wd be: A deep libidinous desire to bridge fair and dark - where fair shd be only female and dark shd be only male. It is never the other way around. Most Tamil politicians are married to "fair" women, many of brahmin caste. Some churches here have paid up to 3 lakhs to Xians who married Tamil brahmin girls.

CONT'D: This obsession with skin colour shows in terms of this Aryan-Dravidian theory, in terms of denying something to people of "fair colour" - almost an instant anger and dislike of people with fairer complexion. Hence, this strong support for reservation. Yet, there is this deep, Freudian desire to connect with that fair skin, especially, in its female form.
There is no archaeological evidence for an "Aryan invasion". No literary references at all, in Sanskrit or in Tamil to any invasion or wars between Aryans and Dravidians. As I said, I do not know what relevance this "Aryan" theory can have after nearly 2 to 3 thousand years. Why create confusion now about something that goes back in time for that long? Are there special blood tests to prove "Aryan" and "Dravidian". If so, are you then going to say, only "Dravidians" get reservation and "Aryans" don't. That will be a nice one for the S.Ct, won't it? Arjun Singh may not like it, because he looks quite fair to me. BY Nanchil's test, he wd be an "Aryan". On this theory, the DK and DMK, have attacked Sanskrit (The Aryan language), Hinduism (the Aryan religion) and Tamil Brahmins (the Aryans of TNadu) - they are yet to pronounce on whether Islam and Christianity are also Aryan religions. The DMK would have eliminated from the state almost all brahmins in another 20 years time - it wd be an unique achievement in India. Muslims have replaced brahmins in many Tamil villages. Some of them speak Urdu, not Tamil.

The so called Dravidian parties are a small part of a big Aryanist conspiracy. They have no soft corner for Native Indians and the stupidest of things is that they are not even ready to call the native Indians, Native Indians to begin with. They go with this stupid term called 'Dravid" which was invented by the Aryans themselves. That proves their being hand in glove with them.

My dear comrade sister Manjula is the best example of casteism gone wild. According to her theory, there is only one Native Indian -- herself. All others are Aryan and foreigner. Therefore Manjula should be made Prime Minister. Or even better Empress of India. This is why she is not happy with Sonia, who is already Empress.

Hi Rajeev, I am happy that you've started reading articles written by others too. But when will you come out of your feudal mentality. Believe me I like Mayawati and Laalooji very much. Both of them are so dark in colour, and can't speak Sanskrit and English. Believe me they are Indians, just like Birsa Munda. Really. Please Rajeev.

My dear comrade Manjula, has there been a delay in the payments from Beijing or from the DMK? Please let me know, so that I can help you. I am concerned that you are off your medicine. Your paranoid delusions are showing.
