naxalists are heroes, you are villains
by nitn on Jan 04, 2008 02:45 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

it can clearly be seen in these forums that most of the upper castes(with access to computer and english) are blind in their hatred for naxals, most of which are lower castes..
and then they are calling this piece as biased.

well you all are biased because all you want to listen is naxal bashing. majority of naxals indeed are tribals and lower caste..and are fighting for dignity that is/was taken away by the upper caste that controls the media and economic urban centers.
also, it is a sad fact that naxal movement got corrupted (like everything else in this country) when small time leaders from CPI etc used it as a tool to access the ladder of success.
but that doesnt change the fact of the legitimacy of such a movement. why are always lower strata of society always suffering by being displaced by dam or forest cutting or SEZ or plain bullying by govt agents?
so that the structure of society may remain intact and you guys can enjoy the fruits in city dwelling.
my last words.. when naxalism will boom, and it will (inspite of opposition of both congress and BJP etc)... you guys are going to be outnumbered by 3:1 . imagine the possibilities

looks like you are one of those dravidian movement guys, or a christist as only they bring caste into everything. nobody is biased against any tribals you hate-monger. naxals clearly are a threat to india's sovereignty, development and growth and like the jihadis have no rationale for their behavior. your arguments about upper class having access to english and computers shows your backward thinking. tribals are backward due to nehruvian, socialist, commie, pseudo sickular politics and to see any caste in that like guruswamy shows your cave divide-and-rule mentality.

well, these are just the excuses you make, albeit subconciously, to justify your stance.
and it is about caste, though caste may not be an issue with you now, but you cannot wash away with sins of your forefathers. blaming everything in nehru is a easy game you play. when nehru was in power, all the upper caste lobby including your parents probably were with him. now , blame all on congress.
caste is an issue because it is because of caste system that you are where you are now, your past 20 generations and more well well off, indulged in intellectual activity and enjoyed status, of course the effect rubs off on progeny.. while the tribals were displaced, they work in city as mazdoors, or raped in their villages.
and calling anyone who questions your authority as christian or commie or muslim.. this is all the intellectual honesty you guys have left..
because i am neither of these, and so is most of the indian population

What are you suggesting Nitin? All the Brahmins and upper caste should be killed. That is what is happening now.

well, i am a brahmin myslef (by birth,otherwise atheist), so that is the last thing i want. what i want is that upper castes/class (choose) should empathize more with the struggle of people like naxalites, or north easters..instead of just calling everyone terrorist and threat to nation and stop being full of themselves and shed the holier than thou attitude that they carry along. and lastly, be humble of the fact that they do indeed enjoy fruits of exploitation that their forefathers sowed over many a millenia. this attitude should lead to a better ear to reservation demand, or sharing resources and wealth with others, respecting the house maid-aaya etc.

Nitin, I do empathise with the down trodden but they dont come only in one package of low caste. I do beleive in reservation. It has helped to some extent. But what is happening these days are almost everybody except Brahmins have put themselves as OBC and claiming benifits while lot of them are lot wealthier and powerful. Why should a OBC minister who has all the power and wealth still call his 2nd generation as OBC and get all the undue benifits while it can go to more desrving people. What do you think we should do with Naxalites? they are so adament and if they lay down their weapons then something can be done. Of course Indian politicians are so corrupt. It is a great problem agree.

nitn you are a complete idiot, more an empty tin. one cannot become a brahmin by birth just like one cannot become a lawyer by birth. A brahmin is one who in the days of the yore is one who is immersed in the pursuit of brahman (or godliness) and hence was called a brahmin - one who is dedicated to the pursuit of Brahman. By that definition no one is a true brahmin today. It was a profession or a pursuit or a way of spiritual life which is now corrupted as casteism. It is a supreme irony that you call yourself a brahmin by birth but atheist by nature. What supreme contradiction!! An atheist is like a walking corpse and that is what you are. There is some logic in what you say about casteism but is furthered by people like you who in the name of destroying inequality see caste in everything. You are one messed up individual

Sri Vellur,

If you really believe castes is not attached to birth in modern/medieval India, then you must have really been living in caves since may be last 5-6,000 years. Welcome to the twinthieth century sadhu baba. Is that niose I hear coming out of your empty brain or just you eating your own words?

This is like a wolf and lamb story. The wolf accused the lamb that is drinking from lower level of the river that it was messing with the water. The lamb replied I did not do it because I am standing at lower height to which the wolf replied "well , if you did not do it . your father did it". That seems to be Nitn's logic. Keep barking. One day you will be tired of it your self.
