Genocide of Women in Hinduism Introduction I dedicate this book to my late younger sister, who was murdered as a result of a dowry-related incident while in full blossom of youth. Like most sisters, we were very close to one another, and her early death had a deep impact on me. This tragedy inspired me with the will to join the Indian feminist movement, and to eventually write this book. I hope that this work may save the lives of some of my Indian sisters and help reduce the suffering of Indian womankind. The reason for writing this book is purely humanitarian, so I have made this book available in the public domain. The more widely this book is read, the more innocent lives shall be saved. Please distribute it freely, and help save Indian women. Thank you in advance for your efforts. After my sister’s death, I joined the Indian feminist movement. I read the usual feminist literature, took part in the usual demonstrations in support of women’s rights, and attended the usual women’s rights conventions. However, it soon dawned on me that the movement was quite hollow, and, despite several decades of existence, had failed miserably in its objective. At the time I write this book, in June 1999, the status of women in India has sunk to its lowest ebb. After 50 years of Independence, cases of female infanticide, sati, dowry-related murders and crimes against women are on the increase, and in many cases are at their highest levels seen since the birthe of the Indian Republic. I soon realized that the reason is that Indian feminism has not tackled the core of the evil. But has only squabbled about superficial aspects of the problem. Western feminism was merely transplanted onto the subcontinent, and like many plants had been unable to thrive in its new environment. It is only by tackling the root of the problem that this plant can grow. I hope that this book shall enlighten all Indian women as to the true reasons for the abject state of subjugation we are in. Real Reason for Oppression of Indian Women Everyone has heard the Brahmin male propaganda that the customs of sati, dowry, female infanticide and all other social suppression of women in India is the result of social degeneration, ‘curruption’, or still worse, foreign Christian or Muslim influence. This is all one big lie designed to fool women. The reasons are far more deep-rooted, and are fully the result of Brahmin male conspiracies. The real reason for the sad state of Indian women is the continuation of the Vedic and Vaishnava religions, collectively referred to as Brahminism or astika Hinduism. These religions clearly and unambiguously justify and prescribe the crushing of women to the states of sub-humans. Rather than being due to some kind of corruption, the ghastly practices of sati, female infanticide, dowry and related acts are actually enforced by Vedic and Hindu scriptures. Although this many sound like some Christian or Muslim propaganda, it is not. I have backed up my research with quotations from Vedic and Vaishnava scriptures, and have shown that these religions, and nothing else, are the main culprits behind the most anti-woman system the world has ever seen. Far from being enlightened and progressive, Brahmanism is in fact the very fountain of the evil of sati, female infanticide, devadasism and dowry. Future of the Women’s Movement The result of my research is far-reaching. Instead of wasting time attacking trivialities, the Hinduism itself must be attacked by Indian feminism. If Indian women are to become free, it is this faith that must tackled, and nothing else. No other religion, not even Islam or Christianity, burns its women, or slaughters one-tenth of all women each generation except Hinduism. Indeed, Brahminism is nothing but the legistimized genocide of women. In this book I have performed calculations showing how Brahminist men, and not Communists or Nazis, have been responsible for the greatest genocide (namely that of women) in the history of the world. The worst holocaust in human history was not that of the Jews or Africans, but was that inflicted on women by Brahmins. A significant part of this holocaust occurred laws lead to the deaths of more people each decade than Hitler killed during the entire Second World War. To stop this ongoing holocaust, Indian women must unite with all those who oppose Hinduism, for and enemy’s enemy is a friend. Indian women must unite with all those who oppose Hinduism for an enemy’s enemy is a friend. Indian feminism must unite with Islamism, Communism, Sudra Nationalism and Christianity in order to fight a form of savagery known as Hinduism. By necessity this strategy shall heve to vary according to region. In South and Central Indian, Sudra Nationalism promises to uplift Dravidian, Dalit and mulbasi women on a healthy platform of anti-Brahmanism. This pan-Negroist philosophy is thus a natural ally of Indian feminism. In North India, the allied Islamist ideoligies of pan-Islamism and Mughlstanism have proven a potent forces for womens’ liberation, witness the Mughal emperors’ restrictions on Sati and female infanticide. Indian feminism should hence ally itself with these movements. Communism has helped women in West Bengal and Kerala, and is another natural ally for Indian feminism. Hence, by means of judicious realpolitik, the status of Indian women can be betterd. Vedic Obliteration of Girls-Chapter 1 The aim of this chapter is to expose the true reasons behind the ghastly act of female infanticide in India. This custom was entirely the result of oppressice Brahmanic Hindu tyranny, being enforced upon the non-Brahmins; the objective being the eventual extermination of non-Brahmin races from the face of the Earth. VEDIC FEMALE INFANTICIDE The horrible custom of female infanticide was widely practiced by the barbaric Vedic Aryan tribes who invaded India. It is these Vedic nomads who introduced this depravity into India. The Vedas prescribe an intense hatred for women, and female children were considered highly undesirable in the nomadic Aryan patriarchal view. Indeed, so deep-rooted was the desire for male children that the Vedas prescribe numerous prayers for male offspring. Atharva Veda.6.2.3. ‘Let a female child be born somewhere else; here, let a male child be born’ (Ath.Ved. VI.2.3.)(cf.Peri) These verses were recited whenever an Aryan couple wished to have a child, and display considerable discrimination against women even in the Vedic age. Nor does the wonderful treatment of women in Vedic practice end here. The holy and great Vedas explicitly sanction the practice of female infanticide. Indeed, the real reason for this truly animal practice lies deep in the blood-stained verses of the Vedas. The following verse, from the sacred Vedas of the noble faith of Hinduism, allows the practice, and takes it for granted as a normal practice in Vedic practice. Taittirya Samhit VI.5.10.3 ‘Hence they (Aryans) reject a female child when born, and take up a male.’ Sans. ‘Tasmat striyam jatam parasyanti ut pumamsam haranti’ (Taitt.Samh.VI.5.10.3) Muir 126) What ‘sweet’ verses form the Vedas, the holy guide-book for all Hindus. No wonder women were not allowed to read these heaps of male chauvinist filth ! Indeed, there are several reasons for the practice of female infanticide during the Vedic Dark Age (1500 BC-500 BC) of the Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC – 1000 AD), all of which can be traced back to Vedic barbarism: The large dowries prescribed by the Vedas (see later chapters) implied that female children were solely seen as an economic burden. Such was the state of madness inflicted by the Brahmins that a single female marriage, even today, can ruin an ordinary middle-class family. Obliterating female children was thus a convenient way of alleviating financial ruin in the Vedic period. Women were of little use to the Aryan war-tribes. Hence, their numbers were reduced in order to maintain the high effectiveness of the Aryan war-machine. These are the wonderful truths about the most spiritual practice of Hinduism. The inhuman Hindu female infanticide is not due to any ‘corruption’, but is fully sanctioned by the core of Hindu scriptures-the Vedas. This is the truth about the wonderful practice of Hinduism. LATER BRAHMANIC FEMALE INFANTICIDE The custom of Vedic female infanticide continued during the Sutric (500 BC -200 AD) and Puranic Dark Ages (200 AD- 1000 AD) of the Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC – 1000 AD). During this era, the Brahmins consolidated the power they had obtained during the Vedic Dark Age to the height of Absolutism. Any custom which could eat away at the foundations of non-Brahmin peoples was utilized by the Brahmins in order to consolidate their tyranny over the subject populations. Infanticide was one such method which helped preserve Brahminist power, and the population was hence brainwashed with the ‘holy’ Vedas, which prescribe this beastly practice. There were several other reasons why the Brahmins cruelly enforced Vedic female infanticide. The Brahmin race has always feared being overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of non-Brahmins. Hence they resorted to the harshest means imaginable to curtail non-Brahmin reproduction. To this extent, the Brahmins divided Indian nations into mutually warring factions by means of casteism, enforced the vile customs of sati, hijrahism, devadasism and above all, spread the poison of female infanticide into the veins of the populace. Female infanticide rotted away at the very roots of the non-Brahmin races, many of which disappeared from the face of the Earth. The Indio-Greeks, Bactrians, Panchalas, Koshalas and Saurasenas are only some of the non-Brahmins races exterminated by the Brahmins using various forms of social degeneration which included female infanticide. The shortage of women led to unending wars amongst non-Brahmins for the remaining women. This is amply demonstrated in Rajasthan, where the Brahmin-enforced female infanticide led to male-female ratios of 10:1, As a result, a never-ending series of wars over women devastated the Scythic Rajputs for several centuries. Sessodia fought Chauhan, Kacchwaha fought Bundela and father fought son in fratricidal warfare which reduced Rajasthan to the desert it now is. Had the Rajputs instead tackled the real cause for all their wars and suffering, namely the Brahmins and the Brahmin-inflicted customs of female infanticide and sati, this suffering would not have occurred. ‘Thus, the ‘holy’ texts of the Vedas sanction apartheid and mass murder of baby girls. The magnitude of this circumstance is staggering: as long as the Vehas are followed, there shall exist immense hardships for women and the mass murder of children shall continue since these are all prescribed in these ‘sacred’ texts. Since such passages cannot be deleted in modern times, nor can the Vedas be modified, it hence follows that all Indian feminists must fight against any and all forms of Vedic religion. Unless they do so, Indian women forever remain enslaved to Vedic tyranny. POISONING, BURIAL AND SUFFOCATION OF INFANT GIRLS ‘In the Dasarathajataka Sita is represented as the sister as well as the wife of Rama, son of Dasaratha of the Ikshvaku line.’ (Chandra, p.156) Chandra, who has given the passage cited above, then claims that this incriminating passage was infiltrated’ by the Buddhist nastikas. This objection, however, can be discounted immediately. Firstly, it would not be possible for Budhists to ‘distort’ a Hindu scripture. Secondly, Chandra himself is a Brahminist, so his statements in defence of Brahmanism can be discounted as being the result of religious fanaticism. The fact is, that the extant Budhist tales amuch older than the Hindu versions, and this episode was deleted from the later falsified Ramayans. This is confirmed by anthropological research showing that incest was institutionalized in Rama’s race, the Ikshvaku dynasty of Aryan Kshatriyas. ‘In the Anabatthan Suta and the Mahavastu Avdana we are told that the Ikshvaku princes, who were banished by their father and took shelter on the slopes of the Himalayan, and from whom the Sakyas traced their descent, married their own sisters in order to maintain the purity of their line.’ –(Chandra, p.155) 0hence, it is virtually certain that Sita was Rama’s sister, and that it is certain that such an ‘upright astik Hindu’ as he would not have let his sister grow beyond the age limit of 8 years prescribed by Aryan law. Now, what was the main reason for the Brahmins enforcing child marriage and incest upon the subject populations ? The answer is that these activities led to the permanent genetic degradation of the non-Brahmin races. It is well known that consanguineous marriage leads to genetic mutations in the offspring and eventually ends in the extermination of the blood lineage concerned. Incest and child marriage has a high risk of leading to irreversible hereditary defects in the second generation which are then passed on the succeeding generations. These were hence convenient methods for the Brahmins to annihilate the non-Brahmins and establish a pure Brahmavarta! Even to this day one finds the process of genetic deterioration occurring in non-Bahmin children inhabiting Brahmin-ruled regions. These are eintirely the result of Brahmin-enforced child marriage and Brahmin-inflicted incest. ENFORCEMENT OF VIRGINITY As a further instance of the oppressive rules of Hinduism imposed upon women, young girls were required to remain virgin till marriage. Failing this requirement, they would be discarded by the husbands at will. Manu.IX.72 ‘Thouth (a man) may have accepted a damsel in due form, he may abandon (her if she be) blemished, diseased, or deflowered, and (if she have been) given with fraud. Such girls were reduced to a pitiable state and were unable to find husbands thereafter. They were mostly forced to live the life of early wretched widowhood. This shows that the systematic discrimination meted out by Hinduism to women extends down to early childhood. Whilst Brahmin men were free to indulge in debauchery with aboriginal Devadasis at an early age, girls had to remain chaste virgins. This is the truth about ‘wonderful’ Hinduism. These are merely a handful of facts showing that Hinduism is the single most anti-woman civilization in the history of the world. The followers of Hinduism are mindless male supremacist pigs who know nothing better than to burn their own women and rape their own daughters. This they do in the name of the ‘Holy Vedas’, the invention of perverted Brahmin bigots. No other religion imposes such an inhuman genocide of women as does the truly beastly Hinduism. Note: References are given in full in the last volume. In researching her book, Genocide of Women in Hinduism, Sita Agrawal established some truly horrendous facts. In her groundbreaking work she established that 50 million women have been killed in the past century and that sexual discrimination, which has now reached every nook and corner of small towns in North West India, includes female infanticide. Sita Agarwal had dedicated herself to bringing to the notice of the world, the terrible treatment of women in India. Ms. Sita Agarwal is one among the leading critiques of Hindu culture, tradition and other forms of religions fundamentalist practices. Agarwal focused her study on the aspects of the ligitimisation of the torture of women in the so called holly texts of Hinduism, like the Manusmruthi. Due to this Agarwal has invited the wrath of the hindu fundamentalists and faces challenges in her daily life. The new generation of secular intellectuals in India has however identified Agarwal’s possession and fight against the false authoritarianism created by communal havoc. Genocide of Women in Hinduism had gained wide acclaim in the study of women in India from a secular-historical perspective.
