THE ASIAN INDEPENDENT UK
The unpredictable and unthinkable developments are happening daily in India. Since 2014, the hatred has penetrated so deeply into some who apart from their own belief, do not want any other in India.
The Indian Constitution since Independence has encouraged respect and tolerance for each other’s religion. If the Manusmirity gets reinstated, it is going to be deeply pernicious to cordiality in India. It was outlawed to stop the hatred that was ongoing since ancient times.
Since Independence, humanitarian grounds have improved and inter caste marriages are happening but now the BJP wants to stop these by reintroducing Manusmirity. Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar set the example by marrying a higher caste Hindu lady but the BJP is totally against this and is intentionally pumping hatred to promote their agenda. The hatred has peeked so much that its presence is now notable within the Government services. Even the Judiciary Judges are also involved.
Now in this new Amrityug, millions are surviving on the allowance of 5 kilos of wheat per family. It is benefiting some and millions are suffering. The voice which was raised in 1900 for uniting of thirty-six native communities is now again being raised.
In 1900, the voice for Independence was ongoing when it was mentioned that the Ashoot (Dalit) should be divided between the Hindus and the Muslims. At that time India was one whole unit. The Dalits living in Lahore (West India) stood in objection to it. Their declaration was that they are not animals to be divided within these two parties. So, they started their own claim for a different state for 36 Adhivasi communities.
The movement eventually reached Jullundur city. Here it gained momentum because a large number of the Valmikians and the Ravidassians lived in this vicinity. It became headquarter of the Adhi Dharam movement. Dr Ambedkar was in close contact with this headquarter. Because of his closeness, a Valmikian Chuni Lal Thapper and a Ravidassian Babu Mangu Ram Ji are on the record for sitting on death fast in oppose to Mahatma Gandhi Ji’s fasting.
In the year 1926, the Adhi Dharam movement was started. Babu Mangu Ram Ji represented the Ravidassia community and Pandit Bakshi Ram Ji represented the Valmikian community. The present year, 2026 marks 100 years of Adhi Dharam movement. It is going to be celebrated where ever the Adhi Dharam followers are.
Unfortunately following Independence, through MPs greed, the corruption has seeped into system. A lot of the Parliamentarians are in possession of large assets. Such a gain solely through their wages is quite impossible. So, this points to some form of corruptive involvement is behind this. It won’t be wrong to say that the Parliamentarians greed is the reason to poverty in India.
Rahul Gandhi Ji has admitted that the Congress Party should have done more for lower end of the society. This would have minimised BJP’s chance of getting into power because the poor would have maintained their confidence in the Congress Party. This failure of Congress Party has given chance to the BJP to win and he assures that he is going to try his best to rectify it.
Another happy news is that Satguru Ravi Dass Ji’s 649th Pargat Divas was celebrated worldwide. Next year 650th Pargat Divas is going to be celebrated. It is going to be a very special celebration for the Ravidassia community. As usual, the Valmikian community is going to be part of it. Bhagwan Valmiki Ji and Satguru Ravi Dass Ji, for the Valmikian and Ravidassian brotherhood are IK JOT DE DO PRAKASH meaning two lights from one source. Although these are two communities but the source of origin is one.
The proof is that Satguru Ravi Dass Ji has honoured Bhagwan Valmiki Ji in his Baani because to Satguru Ravi Dass Ji, Bhagwan Valmiki Ji was an Adhivasi and not a Hindu Brahmin as being put forward by some. Satguru Ravi Dass Ji was fighting against the Hindu Brahmins for the Adhivasi rights. Satguru Ravi Dass Ji, without any fear was praising Bhagwan Valmiki Ji because his wisdom and knowledge was far beyond the Hindu Brahmins.
A new bhajan IK JOT has been released to address of the change that is visible. A few years ago, these two communities were well apart but now are quite close.
Finally, I end my article with these words. UNITY IS REQUIRED TO SURVIVE THROUGH THE NEW AMRIT-YUG.
JAI BHARAT.
