WHO
CARES ABOUT DISHONOURING OF KERALA HINDU WOMEN BY RSS GURU GOLAWALKAR!
Demonizing Indian Muslims as barbarians is a project as old as the
birth of Hindu nationalism courtesy high Caste Hindus in the second half of the
19th century. Muslims were described as mleccha a Sanskrit
term used for non-Aryans or barbarians. It is interesting to note that when the
same barbarians; the dynasties with Muslim names ruled India for almost a
millennium, the same Hindu high Castes served them most loyally as military
commanders and senior administrators even occupying posts of Vazier-e-aalaa
(prime minister). The ‘Muslim’ rule was an oligarchy of Muslim rulers plus
Hindu high Castes. India is the only country in the world history where
absolute majority of the country did not convert to the religion of the rulers.
It is corroborated by the 1872-73 Census undertaken by the British rulers. It
was the first census held at the time when even ceremonial ‘Muslim’ rule was
over. According to this Census report: “The population of British India is,
in round numbers, divided into 140½ millions [sic] of Hindoos (including
Sikhs), or 73½ per cent., 40¾ millions of Mahomedans, or 21½ per cent. And 9¼
millions of others, or barely 5 per cent., including under this title Buddhists
and Jains, Christians, Jews, Parsees, Brahmoes…”
[Memorandum
on the Census Of British India of 1871-72: Presented to both Houses of
Parliament by Command of Her Majesty London, George Edward Eyre and William
Spottiswoode, Her Majesty's Stationary Office, 1875, p. 16.]
In this
context another important point not to be lost sight is that the demonization
of the Indian Muslims by the Hindu nationalists followed a pattern set by the
British masters in the post-1857 War of Independence. The British held Muslims
responsible for the Mutiny (though Hindus-Muslims-Sikhs unitedly fought against
the East India Company rule throughout India and jointly laid down lives in
every nook and corner of the country) describing them as uncivilized, untrustworthy,
butchers, rapists and fit for annihilation.
With the
birth of RSS in 1925 Hindu nationalists committed to Hindutva offered a
singular platform to carry forward this hatred to new heights with a military-like
apparatus to cleanse Muslims of India. To the bad luck of RSS India choose to
be a democratic-secular polity in which emulation of Hitler was not possible in
India. Though violence against the largest religious minority of India continued
through its innumerable clandestine and open appendages, more emphasis was
accorded to use of propaganda machinery for demonizing them. Love Jihad, land
Jihad, abnormal population growth, appeasement and beef-eating and many more
issues have been and being used to spread hatred against Muslims. With Hindu
nationalist PM Modi the Hindutva juggernaut started running amok. State
approved films became another powerful tool to spread hatred against Muslims.
The Kashmir Files (2022) and May 2023 release of Kerala Story are part of the
same strategy of targeting a large section of Indians as barbarians thus making
it vulnerable to physical annihilation. Kerala Story touted as the truthful
narration of happenings in Kerala has turned out to be a bunch of lies as has
been confessed by the director. This film conceived and executed by the RSS
trained personnel at the surface seems to be the outcome concern for the tragic
end of Hindu/Christian women wronged by Islamic Jehadists.
How much
RSS cares about the honour of Kerala Hindu women needs to be judged in the
light of a speech of the most prominent ideologue of the RSS till date, M. S. Golwalkar.
This Guru of Hate has been religiously followed by the RSS leaders and cadres. PM
Modi credits Golwalkar for grooming him into a political leader. Golwalkar was
invited to address the students of the School of Social Science of Gujarat
University on December 17, 1960. In this address, while underlying his firm
belief in the Race Theory, he touched upon the issue of cross-breeding amongst
Hindus in Kerala in history. He said:
“Today
experiments in cross-breeding are made only on animals. But the courage to make
such experiments on human beings is not shown even by the so-called modern
scientist of today. If some human cross-breeding is seen today it is the result
not of scientific experiments but of carnal lust. Now let us see the
experiments our ancestors made in this sphere. In an effort to better the human
species through cross-breeding the Namboodri Brahamanas of the North were
settled in Kerala and a rule was laid down that the eldest son of a Namboodri
family could marry only the daughter of Vaishya, Kashtriya or Shudra
communities of Kerala. Another still more courageous rule was that the first
off-spring of a married woman of any class must be fathered by a Namboodri
Brahman and then she could beget children by her husband. Today this experiment
will be called adultery but it was not so, as it was limited to the first
child.”
[M. S.
Golwalkar cited in Organizer, January 2, 1961, p. 5. The page is

The
above statement of Golwalkar is highly worrying in many respects. Firstly, it
proves that Golwalkar believed that India had a superior Hindu Race or breed
and also an inferior Hindu Race which needed to be improved through
cross-breeding. Secondly, a more worrying aspect was his belief that Brahmans
of the North (India) and specially Namboodri Brahamans, belonged to a superior Hindu
Race. Due to this quality, Namboodri Brahamanas were sent from the North to
Kerala to improve the breed of inferior Hindus there. Interestingly, this was
being argued by a person who claimed to uphold the homogeneity and honour of
Hindus world over. Thirdly, Golwalkar as a pervert male chauvinist believed that
a Namboodri Brahman male belonging to a superior Race from the North only could
improve the inferior human Race of Hindus from South. For him wombs of Kerala’s
Hindu women enjoyed no sanctity and were simply objects of improving breed
through intercourse with Namboodri Brahamanas who in no way were related to
them. These were nothing but rapes. Thus, Golwalkar was, in fact, corroborating
the fact that in the past male dominated high Caste Hindu society in many
regions forced newly-wedded women of other Castes to pass their first nights by
sleeping with superior Caste males.
Astonishingly,
Golwalkar expressed these pervert sexist, Racist, anti-women and
anti-egalitarian views not in the presence of some uneducated or lumpen crowd
but before a noble gathering of gentry consisting of the faculty and students
of a prime university in Gujarat. In fact, Golwalkar was welcomed by Dr. B. R.
Shenoy, Director of the School of Social Sciences while he arrived at the
auditorium. The press reports make it clear that there was no murmur of protest
against such fascist and ridiculous ideas. It shows the degree of
respectability which high Caste oratory enjoyed in Gujarat and explains why
Hindutva could make inroads in this region.
It is also
surprising that despite holding such ideas which openly denigrated Hindu women
and Hindu society of Kerala RSS has been able to create pockets of influence in
Kerala.
Not only
as Keralites but as Indians we must demand that RSS should tell us for how many
centuries such rapes of Kerala women continued! Can films like Kerala Story
hide the criminal deeds glorified by Golwalkar?
