I am watching Brahminist-Hindus going ga-ga over their compadre Neil Kashkari getting catapulting to Treasury – just as they were delirious with the appointment of Vikram Pandit as Citigroup CEO. But are Americans aware of the very elitist/fascist caste-ridden social thinking and values of these Brahminists (8% of Hindus: Brahmin, Bania, Lala castes) and how they have been looting and pillaging India?
Probably not, because they are only exposed to this same narrow minority of Indians in western countries. The Brahminist establishment has monopolized India’s top educational institutions (IITs) which supply 99% of “Indian” students to U.S. universities (while being less than 5% in Indians) who then join US companies and CEOs. After assuming state power in 1947, Brahminist communities have done very well in India at the expense of the rest by systematically corrupting, monopolizing and looting all state institutions set up by the British. They are motivated by delusional historical ideologies in which Brahminist-Hindus fancy themselves as some perpetual ruling-class of India (“highest castes”) despite that fact that the objective historical record bears witness to mostly non-Brahminist rule in the subcontinent over the past 2500 years (e.g. Buddhism, Muslim, Sikh) and various new influxes of peoples and cultures such as the Sakas (Indo-Scythians), Huns, Moguls and Pathans. These groups and their descendents created most of the known “Indian” empires, including the three Buddhist empires (Satraps, Kushanas and Virkas) from 300BC-800AD; the Muslim empires of the Ghaznis, Lodhis, Mughals (10-18 century AD); and Sikh, Rajput, Jat and Maratha rule before the British arrival in the 19th century.
Given the degenerate, corrupt and criminalized nature of their beloved Bharat’s legal and administrative system, I do not believe that Americans wish to welcome their Manuite values and contributions here. They have already acquired quite a reach in the U.S. media, university system and Wall Street.

Kabir is right – all the great feats in India have been achieved pluralistically, but credit giving fails to follow the pluralistic pattern. Brahmins seem to end up at the receiving end for the credit distribution and, oftentimes, blame distribution as well(!)
14/01/2009
Also, Kabir – count on your fingers how many Brahmins have been PMs and CMs in India – compared to non-Brahmins. And for today’s state of India that you describe, should you still be blaming Bramins?!
14/01/2009
Final one(!) – to Kabir: Brahmins neither own any significant power nor wealth – but they have a love for knowledge and education which make them influential (creating an illusion of “elitism” – any educated person appears “elitist” to an uneducated person – like Obama, in spite of being black, appears “elitist” to many republicans – who prefer Bush). As education becomes more and more universal in India – and even more universal becomes the love for education – there will be no more any special place for Brahmins – (or, the better way to look at it – everyone will be a Brahmin)

The Muslims Kabir and Mahesh Lavannis are rambling here with goal of elevating and falsely glorifying Muslim rule in India.
The sad truth is that Muslims destroyed India and decimated its population any way they could. They slaughtered 80 million Hindus, took millions as slaves and pillaged the riches of thousands of Hindu temples, destroying them and putting their ghastly Mosques with the minarets on top of the ruins.
The Taj Mahal was not build by the Muslim ruler who took credit for it but by tens of thousands of non-Muslim Hindu slaves, many who died in the process.
The talented and learned Brahmini’s put India’s heritage back on the track of high civilization after the ousting of their Muslim tormentors during British rule and after independence.
Mahesh Lavannis is trying to tell everyone how to live their lives and posts on Israeli websites nonsense without having a clue about the Middle East or with worst malice in heart, fitting a follower of the Satanic death cult of Islam and its Pedophile Psychopath founding Murderer , as he does to Hindus.

Tosefta,
India has been invaded by many-many armies, not just those of Islam. No idea what drives people to invade India, but they do. Mongols were one such – and Islam came to India with them (not Arabs – who have also invaded India, but separately). Each invasion is painful and uncalled for (India has no history of provoking any of her invaders). However, after it is done, it is done. It becomes history, and the important thing is to carry forward a positive relationship. India has excellent friendly relations with Greece, England, Portugal, France, Iran, China, Afghanistan – all ex-invaders. We had a tryst with both Christianity and Islam. We strive to understand them too.

But Mahesh Lavannis the Muslims invaders and occupiers of India were the worst for the longest period of time and caused the most destruction and mayhem of Indian civilization. Of all the invaders Muslims had by far the most negative impact on India and its future felt to this day and many generations to come. Mumbai massacre last November of Hindus and others by Muslims is the latest example. This is why it is important to acknowledge this true history and not only for intellectual/academic honesty.
You do not deny this historical fact and should admit it out loud and mention it clearly in your history books.
BTW Akbar was not the “great and enlightened” Muslim ruler portrayed in the PC infested Indian history books, just the opposite. I will argue this point with you at great length.
Mahesh Lavannis graduate of IIT Bombay in Mechanical Engineering, now residing in USA, I will keep you busy here so that you will not have time left for the Israeli websites with your vitriolic comments lacking any understanding of Middle East and the evil that motivates Muslims.

Lessons must be learned from the past, and applied to create a better future. As for harping on the past, not sure what is gained.

Denying the past as you do means you learn nothing from India’s past were you were born, yet you see yourself an expert on the Middle Est and particularly tiny Israel comprising 0.2% of Middle East and blame it for all troubles with no basis in historical reality.
This is where you go selective choosing for both India and Israel to totally accept the narrative of the Muslim Invaders and occupiers that have repeatedly raped both countries.
18/02/2009
Denying the past, learning from the past, remembering the past – these are three different things. Remembering the past to the point where it starts to destroy the future is something else altogether.
