Every single human is shaped by its cultural teachings. We are influenced by the members around us, the stories, myths, thoughts & moralities has very deep impact on the children. If someone has to be better than he has to make his perception better. With a poor mindset, you can achieve nothing valuable. The teachings of religion which makes a community superior, where as others inferior, actually makes majority of the people mental slaves. So that they can’t be self reliant or independent, like the shudras and the ati-shudras. The Hindu mythology has been constructing a nausea against the shudras( the working community of peasants, livestock rearers, craftsman, weavers, barbers, blacksmith etc) and the ati-shudras (the untouchables and the tribals). It teaches to behave like animals with the shudras, there are lots of instructions in the Manusmriti. But the weird thing is that the shudras consider all these assumptions and teachings as real. Even they don’t understand how cleverly the shastras are pulling them backwards .These shastras never allow them to think independently for their progress. The shudras are the builders of the nation, be it agriculture or huge buildings. The whole society depends on these skillful people. But the teachings of Hinduism has made them valueless. Nobody respects them. Moving down with caste ladder, you can feel the shame, depression, inconfidence, uncleanliness, valuelessness, irrespect, immorality ,slang stc slevates rapidly.
All these scenes were made not today or yesterday, it had been made long before. The first step was to shifting people’s ethical and moral values. They denied equal treatment to all, they created gender based inequality. The discarded the teachings of Buddha based on logic and humanity. The brahmins wrote different literature to dehumanize others. By Purusasukta they established themselves to be superior to others and take over all sort of authority in their hands. Other literature, thoughts, and debates were deliberately thrown out of the society. No compititor at all, so they don’t need to debate or prove themselves right. They are supposed to right and pure as told in the shastras.
The present situation is like hopelessness for the masses. They don’t understand all these because they are out of intellectual realm. The are uneducated, poor, daily wagers or tied government servants. They are just what they were before. The thought of being inferior is passed by generation to generation. No one from the lower caste be respected for whatever degree or designation he has. All what needed is a new culture based on ethics, morality and humanity, a good a teaching. There had been a lot of teachers like the Buddha, kabir, Nanak and Mahatma Jyotirao Phule who taught how to liberate yourself from all the absurdity which make yourself inferior. The path to free yourself, the path to liberate your community, the path to bring happiness, the path to confidence, the path to self-respect.
Namo Buddhay …
