LOWER CASTES ROLLING OVER THE FOOD WASTE OF BRAHMINS:

Just happened to see an unbelievable ritual in a Hindu temple at Tamil Nadu. In a Subramniaswamy temple, the lower caste devotees are fed on the bare floor. Then they are made to roll on the banana leaves in which the Brahmins just had food. The food wastes stick to the bodies of devotees including women. This will cure skin diseases according

to the Brahmin priests ! Not to mention the upcoming blessings from God.

Obviously the disease is in the minds of the Brahmins. Only the mentally sick can propagate and justify this ritual. The problem with the Brahmins is that they imagine themselves to be better than the others. Even the stories of Krishna, the complete incarnation, having been born in a lower caste or Adi Shankara prostrating to the the lower caste or Sri Narayana Guru having born in a lower caste or Vivekananda calling Kerala where the upper castes practiced 'Ayitham' (untouchability) as a lunatic Asylum or Mahatma Gandhi calling the lower castes 'Harijan' (God's people) has not cured the disease and attitude of the upper castes. That Islam and Christianity took root in this holy land of Sanathan Dharma and the lower castes converted en masse to escape the torture and ridicule of the sick upper castes has not made any change in the upper caste attitude.

The basic reason for such demeaning rituals and social systems among the Hindus is the upper castes' insecurity due to their own lack of understanding of the Hindu shastras where it is categorically stated that all beings are from the same life source called Bhagawan and all human beings have the same body, senses, mind, intellect and ego. The egoists and rich want something more than this. They want to see themselves 'above' the others. This attitude gives rise to such despicable rituals. The problem with the upper castes is that they feel belittled before the better races like the Caucasians. When the upper castes realise that they do not stand a chance before the caucasians in life styles or social systems, the upper castes feel embarrassed and try to prop up their ego by looking down upon the lesser privileged ones and trampling them.

This mindset gets reflected in the politicians and bureaucrats who travel with beacon lights and commandos to escort. Because without such status symbols not even a street dog is going to bother them. The tendency to make more money even through corruption is another fall out of this attitude. Trying to look better than the others. This is their out look towards life. That every one has the same right to the resources and keeping more than one needs is actually a crime against the society are yet to be absorbed by the Hindus. The lower castes follow what the upper castes do thinking they cannot be wrong as inculcated over centuries.

Thus the Hindus find fault with everyone else than themselves. They find the Caucasians usage of toilet paper as shameful compared to their routine of washing the bottoms. But defecating in the open and even besides the public roads is in order ! Only thing is that one has to wash the bottom after the exercise. Then they feel better than the Caucasians who use toilet paper !

Similarly Hindus find both Bikini and Burqa laughable ! Chinese are finny people with flat noses. Blacks are ugly. In short everything else is laughable except themselves. This is how the Hindus redeem themselves. That their scriptures hold the key to the world is something that they do not know. Had they known, they would have started projecting themselves on that over the others.
