Demystifying Brahminism and Re-Inventing Hinduism: Volume 1 - Demystifying Brahminism

'Religion is a tool in the hands of the oppressor against the oppressed solely because he frames the commandments and calls them the God's', is an apt description of the Hindu social order. <p> The book rips open the raw nerve of Hinduism-its invidious castes, positioned as a 'God-ordained' institution, commandeered by its freebooter priestly class while clandestinely establishing its religious, social and political hegemony through interpolation of its pristine and effulgent scriptures. </p><p> The author boldly analyses this imbroglio through a microscopic analysis of these and more related issues: </p><p> - How priests controlled the Hindu religious, social, educational and political apparatus? </p><p> - How the dominant priestly class fractured the society into mutually antagonistic subordinated hierarchical segments, and ruled it by reserving all elite jobs for itself? </p><p> - How the fiendish priesthood emasculated shudras by depriving them of the 'shaastra and shastra' (education and arms) and made them permanent 'village servant classes'? </p><p> - How the pretensions of attaining siddhis through 'meditation and penances' established priests as the 'gods on earth' for their assertions of 'purity and effulgence'? </p><p> - How 'karma', 'reincarnation' and '84-lakhs births' theories were devised to justify fatalism and hierarchical gradation of varnas? </p><p> - Can India be rightfully called the 'vishvaguru' and the mother of all civilisations? </p><p> - How Buddhism effeminated Hindus and made them the doormats for the ruthless? </p><p> - Why Hindus had to abandon their own, to adop foreign institutions of governance? </p><p> - Why Hinduism should become a universal and proselytising faith and fight demographic challenges posed by Islam and Christianity?</p>
