Preface
The Hindu Philosophy of religion, the oldest in the world, as contained in the four Vedas viz. Rig. Sam, Jaju and Atharba were composed by the autochthonous Hindus before 1500 BC. They had ecribed the way of life of their egalitarian society of which one of the precepts is you should make endeavour to convert this world into a heaven and enjoy that heaven in this life itself, along with the others. Some of the other precepts had empowered everyone including th females to compose the Hindu Philosophy of religion; and also perform the religious ceremonies, rites and rituals; and everyone could pursue any profession due to the system of compulsory education. This is Hinduism in brief, the Philosophy of which would provide absorbing literature for fascinating experiences. Subsequently, a foreign race of Shepherds had come and usurped the ruling power. They had assumed the sobriquet 'Brahmin' to conceal their origin. They had described their way of life and also announced the mandates of their martial polity to rule over the Hindus for eternity through their compositions viz. Smriti-Puran-Vedanta-Upanishads-Gita etc. which had 'reserved' all the rights and privileges only for the Brahmins. The Hindus (and even the daughters of the Brahmins) were deprived of their imprescriptible rights through savage cruelties. That is Brahrainism, the Philosophy of which would evoke disenchanting conjectures. Their Text had created heaven only for the Brahmins. The non-Brahmins are, however, prohibited by the Text to read the same. These types of irreligious injunctions in the religious Text coupled withd the permission to commit brutal crimes by the Brahmins againts the Hindus with impunity always helped the Brahminism to flourish by subjugating the Hindus and distorting their Philosophy of religion. The 'divide and rule policy of the Brahmins to rule over the Hindus (non-Brahmins) for eternity by dividing them into Kshatriya, Vaisya, Shudra Castes and their original father and the original mother depicted in Tabular forms. The underlying concord between the precepts of the Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism etc. have been outlined. The roles played by the Christian rulers in India have been highlighted. The necessity to have a disquisition on the impact of the Muslim rule in India a: Verses from the Smriti-Puran-Vedanta-Upanishads-Gita ete, have been reproduced. for over 1000 years on the culture, Philosophy of religion etc., of de Hindus has been discussent, The concealed fact is that the Brahmins are incligible to performs religious rites, rituals and ceremonies as debarred by their Text Manusangita. The Hindus always demanded that the Brahmins shouló give up their irreligiously usurped rights; and merge with the sons of the soil, as was done by all the other foreign races like the Greeks, the Psytho-Parthians, the Yue-Chi etc. In 1947 the rulers of about 500 independent states had given up their 'right to rule" and merged with the people of India. Shortly before that, the "Depressed class' (Scheduled Caste) did not establish separate independent states for themselves on the basis of the 'separate electorate granted to them by the British government, although the Muslims had established West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) for themselves on the basis of the same decision. If the Scheduled Caste had established separate independerit states for themselves, they would have become the Presidents, Prime-Ministers, Governors, Chief Ministers etc.of their states. But the Scheduled Caste people had sacrificed those bright prospects of their future generations! Otherwise, several Passport and Visa would have been necessary to travel in India. In 1947, the British rulers had left India; and the Indians got complete freedom. The Brahmins did not learn from those illustrations and have been continuing with their usurpations, though about one per cent. That is why the Hindus (non-Brahmins) though 99 per cent, do not possess even the 'equal right to religion' till now in spite of the constitutional guarantee; and that amounted to virtual denial of citizenship to one thousand millions of Hindus! All these indicated the impact of the different Philosophy of religion as expressed through the conduct of their adherents. The precepts of the Brahminical Texts viz. Smriti-Puran-Vedanta-Upanishads-Gita etc. are opposed to the objectives of the U.N.O. and the Commonwealth; and those precepts are responsible for the continuing backwardness as also the isolation of India in the international sphere which have been analysed. It seems, the different Philosophy of religion in the world have been relegated by the statesmanship of 192 member countries of the U.N.O. and now a dynamic philosophy of religion would have to be evolved to meet the changing requirements of a progressive world.
