Why Is There Brahmin Bashing All Throughout India?

(A thread)

It is regrettable, unfortunate, and unfair that those born in Brahmin families are subjected to vilification, harassment, and persecution

Brahmins came into the white man’s conscious just prior to the 1857 Mutiny (First Indian War of Independence). A huge number of British. The clergy had reached India to convert India to Christain country. It was Brahmin who prevented them, hence their dislike for them.

Additional fuel for the fire was added by likes of Max Muller, who was hired by British East India company to translate Indian Sanskrit literature into English. He was German by origin but worked for the British East India Company.

The idea was to subvert the Indian religion from within. It did not succeed fully. Yes, Max Muller did translate Sanskrit literature but became an admirer. His early writings are different from his later life admiration.

Muslim intellectuals also disliked Brahmin, again they were stumbling block in the complete conversion of India to Muslim for seven hundred years. Brahmin was picked by them for real atrocities. Still, they survived & kept the flame of Hinduism burning.

Here even the history was subverted by the British. As the recently arrived clergy were opening schools to train clerks, which were urgently needed, they turned to a Muslim intellectual in 1850 to 1870 in the name of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan.

He was an English educated judge and an intellectual, who first the Moghul King Bahadur Shah pampered and then the British liked him and appointed him as a judge in Agra. He was given the job of writing history for school textbooks.

He & other Muslim scholars wrote India’s history which was to the British liking. Sir Syed ignored the great Indian nation and culture prior to the Muslim conquest. He glorified Muslim rule from 1100AD until the British conquest. That is why Akbar is called Akbar the Great.

He blotted out the atrocities of Aurangzeb by calling him a pious man, taxing only to fill the treasury which had been emptied by his builder father. Not a word is said of how he promoted his military generals – by how many temple they destroyed and how many Hindus they converted

Again Brahmin without a sword stood in their way of the whole of the nation being converted. That is the history we study even today.

Now Brahmin bashing only serves the purpose of leftist and Hinduphobes. It’s not like only Brahmins were in caste-based discrimination, every caste has discriminated against the people of lower caste in the social hierarchy.
