Tamil Civilization

and 

Indian Casteism Origin 

Padmini Arhant

India remaining the most invaded nation on earth, the  foreign invasion subverted indian modern civilization in place during Sangam period (3rd centuryBCE – 3rd century CE) in Tamil Nadu long before foreign invaders arrival in India.

The system prevalent at that time was not classified under caste. The casteism imposed in the last millennium until today in India is from overseas.

However, the religion Hinduism worshipping God as a particular deity was a custom in Indian ancient culture including the Tamil Sangam age in accordance with the deity representation correlating with nature.

Where and how the caste system originated in India?

The Persian Kings Cyrus and Darius were the first to invade India in 535 BCE and 518 BCE respectively. The Persian King Darius (522- 486 BCE) declaration of his origin as Aryan with Aryan lineage is verified and noted in rock inscription Naqsh-i Rustam.

The western Europe findings –  Germany and France in particular clarify Aryan is the ancient name of the people of Iran. In the 18th century Persian ancestry as the connection for western Europe is also widely acknowledged with western explorers fascination for Persia at that time.

The trend followed in the current false projection amongst those claiming to be the one that is appealing and interesting with desperate efforts in mimicking and adapting appearance, style, hairdo and manners…anything and everything as opportunists and wannabes is weird classic duplicity.

The practice  running away from them, their legacy and persona is the tradition. Obviously, their real identity is too embarrassing for them to accept prompting illicit engagement. Little they realize leopard changing spots to stripes do not become a tiger and neither a hyena feigning a fawn become as such.

Germany’s Adolf Hitler proudly claimed Aryan heritage in public speech and Nazi political rhetoric also echoed Aryan superiority premised on presumed superior physiological appearance and characteristics of own description.

Furthermore, the western Europe race theorists also classified themselves non-Semites in acceptance of Aryan descent. On the other hand Jews referring to themselves as Semites often cite remarks considered not favorable to them as anti-Semitic.

Upon configuration of the Aryan race origin in Persia now known as Iran and migration from Persia to Europe regarded Aryan extension in western Europe and Nordic region, Persian as German ancestry is more prominent.

At the same time – Germany’s Adolph Hitler and Nazi emphasis on Aryan identity with aversion for Jews demonstrated in the twentieth century is one aspect.

Moving forward, in the 20th and 21st century, the Jewish State of Israel in constant confrontation with Iran, the supposedly Persian ancestor of Germans is another dimension.

Iran, Germany and Israel triangle is evidenced in events in the previous and present century.

As for Indian Aryan patronage – the direct source is first former Persian invader Darius as stated above in 518 BCE.

The Persian religion Zoroastrian or Parsi religious text Avesta quoting Aryan and Arya along with the form of worship performing yagnas or  yagya – offerings in the fire in service to God adapted by Hindu Arya Samaj is a long held norm in all Hindu religious and cultural rituals.

The Indian specifically North Indian custom, tradition and cultural activities is conducted in adherence to Arya Samaj conventions. Indian weddings in North India are solemnized by Arya Samaj with fire in the pit known as Agni ( Tamil and Sanskrit term for fire) held witness to the event.

There are also corroborations on zoroastrian influence on Judaism and Christianity that are not limited to monotheistic belief.

Aryan and Arya in India as a race is not organic i.e. the source is foreign considering the Persian invasion nearly two thousand five hundred years ago with King Darius territorial expansive rule. There is affirmation that the Persian King Darius never enforced religion or cultural traits on other inhabitants of the captured or occupied territory. This feature explains the diminished phase of Zoroastrianism over a period of time.

The casteism in India is the invention of other settlers, explorers and intruders in India from the west contrary to current false paid propaganda suggesting Indian caste endorsement and ordinance originated from Srimad Bhagwat Gita by Lord Krishna who was not a brahmin and never favored hierarchy at any point in time. 

Lord Krishna opposed the idea of prejudice and discrimination based on creed, color and social or economic criteria. This characteristic of Lord Krishna is adequately elaborated in Mahabharata and in the previous epic Ramayana with Lord Vishnu incarnate Lord Ram during interaction with the so-called low caste or untouchable woman Sabari.

Then 7000 years ago Lord Ram abundantly clarified on the importance of character and not creed relevant in the assessment of human value. 

The 3rd century BCE and 3rd century CE – Sangam period in Tamil Nadu, South India was represented by Cheras, Cholas and Pandiyan dynasty known as Muchchangam. In Sangam age, there were no caste divisions or denominations as prevalent in the current modern India – the irony of all. 

There were four sects in society and were familiar as follows in Tamil language. 

Arasar – King, Anthanars – Scholars and Professionals in specific art and economic field. Vanigars as traders and merchants and Vellalars – the farming community. 

Arasar – King – The ruler of demarcated kingdoms in the region.

Anthanars – Skilled artisans and professionals in diverse fields and occupation.

Anthanars are mistakenly referred to as brahmins though the former were not part of caste orientation at the onset of this category. These individuals were from general society with skills and expertise in specific trade and accordingly earned respect and maintained professional status that were subject to identity theft in semblance with ongoing custom. 

The case in point as explained on this site earlier in this context – Anthanars – the male professionals wore a flower garland on their upper bare body with a white sarong like clothing that later adapted as veshti in Tamil and dhoti in Hindi that are common in India today synonymous to Indian women wearing a sari as the tradition.

Anthanars as skilled members in Tamil society during that time wearing a flower garland especially jasmine flowers on a white cotton thread was cultural trend.

There were many Anthanars as sculptors, goldsmiths, blacksmiths dealing with iron ore, precious metals etc, carpenters, architects and others worked with the garland on them. The Indian hot weather made the flowers wither by noon leaving only the white cotton thread on them. This white cotton  thread appropriately called in Tamil –  Punool  meaning flower threaded on the cotton thread.

The foreigners upon arrival in India – Tamil Nadu in particular observed the culture and owned Anthanars’ practice of wearing white thread on their torso and retained Tamil name Punool till today and reserved it only for brahmins – the newly created sect in the overt cultural invasion.

The foreigners subsequently designated real Anthanars of that time as inferior, unqualified and ineligible eventually branded as sub-castes, backward caste and unworthy of respect. Again consistent with convention in the past decade until now. The déjà vu scenario today.

Vanigars – Traders and merchants in commerce and economic activity. 

Vellalars – the agriculturists in farming and cattle raising community as chief contributors for survival of mankind. There were no sub-divisions and deeper classifications like the present time.

Women held equal merit and honor as the opposite male counterparts in society and not discarded as intelligence deficient and intellectually inept as practiced today at the so-called elite ruling class behest conforming to latter lacking in ethical standards and virtues. Above all intellect deficit disorder.

Tholkoppiam – the oldest Tamil literature preceding at least 3,000 years and before has rock inscriptions on Tamil civilization as pre-cursor for mankind development divided into the following categories.

Kurinji – Life began at the mountain top as hunters and gatherers.  The population worshipped Lord Murugan aka Tamil God. 

Lord Murugan denoted by the Star with six triangles is also associated with Lord Murugan’s six domains in Tamil Nadu as Aaru padai or Arupadai Veedu (house in six locations viz. Thirupparam Kundram in Madurai district, Thiruchendur, Pazhani, Thiruthani, Swami Malai and Pazha Mudir Czholai respectively.

The lord Murugan is also known as Arumugam (six-faces) which typically relates to the heavenly six angels as Krithikas raising the child Murugan – the son of God Shiva and Goddess Parvati.

The emulation of the star of Lord Murugan is noted in modern judaism using the star as the symbol cited as the Star of King David in Israel.

Mullai – Cattle raising on the valleys and green pasture of the hills – the deity worshipped in this instance was Mayon now known as Lord Vishnu. 

Marudam – The dense Forests were transformed into agriculture land – The deity worshipped here was Lord Indra. 

Neydal – The seas and oceans were explored with fishing and trade via sea voyage facilitating survival and prosperity – The deity worshipped was Varuna or Rain God – part of nature. 

Pallai – The life on desert was yet another human inhabitation. 

The Sangam age lauds female poets of that era. 

Women poets like Avvaiyar, Nachchellaiyar and Kakkaipadiniyar flourished in this period and contributed to Tamil literature.

The courage of women were also appreciated in many poems again unlike the present objectification, politicization, monetization and exploitation…of women normalized unfortunately with so-called women participation to denigrate womanhood for fake fame, fortune and publicity. 

Anytime history and events are subverted by politics, cinema, religion…tor economic and social engineering redefining and misinterpreting facts and originality, such indulgence emphasize impropriety and fraudulence amongst those behind misrepresentation. 

Indian casteism is not native to India rather imported and manifested much to social, economic and ethical violations. 

The Chola dynasty distorted depiction specifically the venerable brave Karikaalan Cholan in today Tamil cinema is a travesty and least surprising given Indian cinema decadence and desperation to rake fortune at the expense of their targets reflected in the precipitous death of Indian film industry.

The Famous Karikaalan Cholan – the older brother of the great King Raja Raja Cholan set precedence in valor, vigor and victory in battles is an icon.

The verifiable legacy of Karikaalan Cholan is praiseworthy.

The Chola King Karikaalan indelible mark in victorious battles, successful economic policy and public affairs management speaks volume as a remarkable ruler in his short lifespan.

“Pattinappalai written by Kadiyalur Uruttirangannanar depicts his life as well as military achievements.

Various Sangam poems mention the Battle of Venni where he defeated an alliance of the Cheras, Pandyas and 11 smaller chieftains.

Vahaipparandalai was another important battle fought by Karikala.

Trade and commerce prospered during his rule.

He also constructed irrigation tanks near river Kaveri to make available water for reclaimed land from the forest for farming.”

The Tamil Chola King Karikaalan’s baby brother due to vast age difference – King Raja Raja Cholan’s presence and prominence was widespread extending beyond South Asia into South East Asia – Singapore, Indonesia (Bali, Jakarta etc), Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, South Korea…familiarized with Tamil language, culture, religion etc.

The son of the King Raja Raja Cholan – Rajendra Cholan was also a renowned Tamil king of Chola dynasty – – the one who discovered and named the island nation Singapore – Tamil word meaning the Lion City expanding empire far and wide.

The UNESCO world heritage temple in Cambodia – Angkor Wat was built by the Chola  dynasty.

Similar to imposition of casteism on India and Indian society, the dravidian connotation on indigenous Tamils and Tamil population with Tamil lineage is a major political drive and a cultural deprivation on Tamilians in the past and present generation.

Tamil Nadu is fraudulently claimed as Dravida desam (state) by dravida political factions confronted with exposure on Dravida having no roots or connection with Tamil identity. None whatsoever.

However the dravidian politics inculcated by Periyar aka E.V. Ramasamy represented by dravida political dynasty DMK, ADMK and alike together with politics controlled film industry struggling to prolong the narrative in vain in Tamil Nadu.

Casteism in India as enunciated above is a wedge created to exert dominance of one segment over others leading to perpetual discord and communal divide in society. The strategy vastly benefitted the protagonists of hierarchy then proclaiming themselves as the chosen ones which was deceitfully established by displacing the original Anthanars at that time also called Parpannar – Tamil word meaning the one who oversee work involving goods and services – the modern lexicon being manager and senior management position in trade, arts and science.

Consequentially, the foreigners classified themselves as Anthanars who in original system were in second place following the ruler or King above at that time. Upon swift seizure of Anthanar category, the foreigners placed Anthanars as brahmins to draw close proximity with creator Brahman or the Supreme God which is not brahmin.

The foreigner then invented the term Shatriyas – meaning warrior – the one who fights the enemyShatru in Tamil, Sanskrit and Hindi language. They assigned the King and rulers under this category and called them the warrior class.

Basically the nomad foreigners in India assigned the title brahmins and certified themselves as the chosen ones by God and chose the occupation as priests being the easiest and least stressful with little or no physical labor requirement.

In placing priesthood with them as brahmins above the rest not barring the King and rulers in society, the status symbol alluded prestige and privilege. 

They also introduced a very shrewd calculated move adding whoever kills a brahmin i.e. anyone of them knowing there will be revolt against foreign subjugation and oppression of a once organized civilized society living in harmony until their intervention, the assassin or those attempting to hurt a brahmin will be dealt with severe consequences not only on earth but also in the Kingdom of God.

The foreigners stating themselves as brahmins equated themselves to Supreme entity Brahman and issued a decree that harming a brahmin is equivalent to assailing God and termed that as Brahm Hatya meaning kill or murder God. 

They also propagated that those engaged in Brahm Hatya or murder of any brahmin regardless of the latter crimes and various unlawful activities, the action is irredeemable sin and denied God’s mercy and forgiveness for ever. The presumptuousness in this regard is appalling at best. 

The bizarre rule from foreigners as brahmins was established then onwards and even observed in the assassination trial of the Chola King Karikaalan Cholan who was murdered by brahmins with evidence detailed in rock inscriptions in Sangam period with public awareness and knowledge long before the last century.

In reference to the 3rd category Vanigars (Tamil word) viz. Traders and merchants – the foreigners retained that as such in 3rd place and modified the name as Vaisya which in itself is a bit twisted terminology for the word Vaisya or Vaishya also refers to prostitution in Indian parlance.

In this category the foreigners as brahmins induced landowners typically the feudals that was excluded in the original Tamil civilized system for landownership was inalienable rights of all members in society prior to foreign induction. 

The foreigner’s caste system of 3rd category Vaisya had traders, merchants and feudals or landowners depriving others placed below them from land ownership. 

The 4th category – Vellalars comprising farmers, cattle raisers and multitude occupations providing essential goods and services as manufacturers, producers and technical fields were now grouped under foreigners’ new caste system as Sutras.

Sutras – the new classification specifying particular tasks defined by them as menial jobs and other areas of work like sanitary workers, sewage cleaners, cobblers i.e. in modern day shoe repairers, barbers likewise present day hairdressers, meat products sellers, textile weavers…anything and everything regarded beneath class 1 (brahmins), 2(King and rulers as Shatriyas) and 3 (Traders, Merchants and landowners, the feudals) were assigned to class 4 Sutras in society. 

The foreigners declared as brahmins and the chosen ones on tier 1 in hierarchy scheduled the once well respected and native population in society as backward caste, other backward caste, scheduled caste, scheduled tribes and the least of all the untouchables – Dalits in society. 

The so-called Dalits deemed untouchables till today in the supposedly independent modern progressing India face enormous discrimination, violence, exclusion and entry in public premise like temples the common place of worship and several places despite India boasting Adi Vasi (indigenous / aborigine) and Dalit President,  the latter who in turn was declined entry into a temple citing his Dalithood while ignoring his formal official designation as President of India.

The entire caste system in India having become more fanatical than ever is a foreign manufactured societal indignation in the treatment of human beings as lesser than each other.

Notwithstanding the abhorrent prejudice and parochial culture as entitlement of one against another ignorantly justified in status quo. 

The political harvesting behind destructive social, economic and civilization regression is never ruled out and remain instrumental in fomenting and fostering polarization via caste, class, racial and religious tumult.

The topic will further unravel brahmins’ clan determination projected as Gotras or Gotram alienating themselves from the rest of society as exclusive with ancestry descended from sage and saints in possession of divine power.

India – Untouchability Atrocities Impetus Proselytism

India – Untouchability Atrocities Impetus Proselytism

Padmini Arhant

The man made hierarchy in the social structure falsely attributing the abhorrent untouchability custom in Indian society as God’s will is primitive and pejorative.

The tradition initially conceptualized and imposed  by brahmins – the foreign invaders’ descendants displacing the native population in Tamil Nadu, India – the origin of life and cultural bastion having established civilization long before the emergence of other continents on earth.

The brahmins declaring themselves the chosen ones to serve God adopted the title priesthood and placed their identity on the top tier in the hierarchy fraudulently citing the caste orientation as Vedic inscription. They conveniently placed the rest in the lower tiers of the hierarchy and exerted control over the religion they adopted upon arrival in India following the conclusion of Indus Valley Civilization.  The word Hindu and accordingly Hinduism is a foreign named identity.

It has nothing to do with the ancient sacred spirituality presided by God Shiva – the Supreme Soul epitomizing the light, energy and sound encompassed as audible, visual and sensed energy within. The sacred symbol and syllable OM originating at the dawn and creation of the universe epitomize the interconnectivity of light, sound and energy experienced in five sensory organs of sight, hearing, breathing, taste and touch.

The mantra OM is related in other religions as AUM and Amen in acknowledgment of the Soul within in connection with the Supreme Natural Phenomenon. Similarly, the greeting salaam or As-salamu alaykum in Islam ending in OM sound and in Judaism the greeting Shalom has OM meaning Peace.

The hideous casteism in Indian society was sowed by foreigners as Aryans and Kazhar Ashkanazi Jews claimed as such by the brahmins in Indian society. The duality of Aryan and Jewish traits maintained by them to sync in with contemporary International syndicate and win favors from all sides known as the Chanakya tactic.  Chanakya – a controversial brahmin advisor in Chandra Gupta Maurya period in history.

The dravidian concept is yet another political spin from the notorious factions like Periyar and Dravida Kazhagam in Tamil Nadu posing as atheists, typically the alter ego fomenting and fostering brahminic ideology in exploiting religion and society for personal, political and vested interests.

The insidious prejudice practicing untouchability and outcasts until today were further promoted and institutionalized by the corrupt criminal and scandalous political class in India post-independence as they lack legitimacy in governance and usurp to power via rigged election as foreign puppets and proxy.

India – Eliminating Casteism and Untouchability

India – Eliminating Casteism and Untouchability

Padmini Arhant

 

Casteism rooted in fundamentalist ideology exerting superiority, inflicting generational prejudice and atrocities against those deemed lower caste or untouchable in Indian society is to be phased out liberating caste victims from draconian caste domination.

Considering the stigma and burden of guilt on those responsible for shackling India in archaic and antiquated caste hierarchy over eons with no remorse or accountability on crimes committed thus far, the long overdue evolution is necessary and imminent marking the beginning of the end of injustice.

Those against the inevitable dismissal and eradication of caste cancer would obviously categorize themselves in oppressive and regressive regime as political faction and societal domain.

Contrarily, the rational minds pledged to progressive India enabling freedom, individual rights and fairness for all would facilitate positive social, economic and political development.

Their respective actions and decisions would definitively reflect own character, patriotism or the lack thereof and importantly human value.

The choices are clear for all especially the caste victims and youth population representing the majority in Indian society.

Time to act now to leave caste behind and lead India towards tolerant and vibrant democracy.

Thank you.
