How the `Hindus' consist of several distinct races, negating definitions of
Hinduism based on `One Hindu Race'. Also, how the various religions are not
derivatives of `One Eternal Religion' Sanatana Dharma, but are of independant
racial origins.
Myth of One Hindu Race
Myth of One Hindu Religion
By Hadwa Dom
3.1 The Different Indian Races
Sometimes definitions are put forward hypothesising that `Hindu' is a racial
term, and that there supposedly exists `A Hindu Race'. This is a completely
false guess, and this chapter explodes this myth of `One Hindu Race'. Indeed,
there are a whole multitude of completely different races confounded under this
hypothetical `Hindu' race :
- Sudroids are Africoid - Anthropological investigations have revealed that
the Sudras consist of several Black races, some akin to Australoids (the
Kolarians or Austric speakers) and some akin to the Africans (the Dravidoids).
Recent genetic analyses have confirmed this view, and much evidence from
archaeology, physical anthropology, etc. prove this fact [ Sud ]. The view
that the Sudras represent a differentiate of the Aryan race is wholly false,
as it cannot explain differences in physical anthropology such as the flat
Sudric nose (plattyrhinism) and thick lips.
- Indo-Aryans - The Indo-Aryans are of Caucasoid stock, distantly related to
the black-skinned aboriginal Negroid-Australoids. Linguistically,
physiognomically and genetically the Indo-Aryans are closely related to
Europoids.
- Rajputs are Scythian - The Rajputs are descendants of Scythic (East Iranic)
immigrants who entered India much after the Aryans. Although false
genealogies were invented by the Aryan Brahmins in order to subvert the
Rajput religion of Solarism (`Saura') and convert them to the 6 astika
schools of Brahmanism, a detailed analysis shows that the Rajputs are
Scythics.
- The Indo-Islamic (Mughalloid) Race - The Muslims of South Asia are
overwhelmingly descendants of `Foreign Mussulman Immigrants', ie. Arabic,
Iranic and Turkic races. Even in Bangladesh, more than half of the Muslims
are of `Aristocratic Foreign' (`ashraf') descent [ Ris ]. They are hence not
Aryan converts.
- Mongoloids - Pure Mongoloids inhabit the Himalayas, and the extreme
north-east. Genetic analyses have shown them to be more closely related to
Chinese and Japanese peoples, a fact which is also borne out by their
physiognomy and languages.
- Indo-Mon-Khmer Race - The majority of East Indics (Assamics, Vangics,
Odrics etc.), except the Aryan upper castes and the Kolarian lower castes,
are of Indic Mon-Khmer (a branch of Mongoloids or East Asiatics) stock. Sir
Risley has amply demonstrated this stratification in East India [ Ris ].
Thus, there is no such thing as a `Hindu Race'. Such concepts exist only in the
minds and books of bigoted Brahmin anthropologists.
3.2 Race and Religion
In all ancient cultures, race and religion were intricately linked. Each race
had its own religion. In Europe, the Germanic race practiced its Germanic
religion, the Greeks had the Greek or Hellenic religion, and the Slavs followed
the Slavic religion. It thus follows, that since there is no one Hindu race,
there is also no one Hindu religion. Hence the Sudroid races of Dravidians,
Dalits, Adivasis and Kols all follow Shaivism or Sudric Religion. The Aryans
follow Vedism and Vaishnavism, collectively referred to as the 6 orthodox (`astika')
schools of Brahmanism. The Mongoloids generally follow Shaktism, while the
Sino-Tibetan peoples follow Tantrism.
3.2.1 Vedic Origin of Vaishnavism
Vishnu is one of the gods which were worshipped by the Vedic Aryans. He was
not one of the more important ones, yet he oultived all his Vedic rivals to
become the supreme god of the Aryan Religion. How was this possible ? Because of
his feature of incarnation : Most other Vedic gods (Indra, Brahma, etc.) were
declared as incarnations of Vishnu, as were many other minor non-Vedic Aryan
tribal dieties (eg. the deified king Rama, and Krishna). Similarly, many local
pre-Brahmanic gods were declared as incarnations of Vishnu, leading to the
spread of the Vaishnava religion. Soon, the original Vedic religion split into
two faiths : Vedism and Vaishnavism. Pockets of pure Aryan Vaidiks, who refused
to follow the Puranas and other Vaishnava scriptures, remained. The division is
analogous to that between Jews and Christians. Just as the Christians accept the
Judaic Pentateuch, but have additional texts, so the Vaishnavas accept the Vedas
but follow additional scriptures. Vaishnavism and Vedism are as much separate
religions as Judaism and Christianity. However, they are still grouped under the
term of `Brahmanism'. Two pre-Aryan gods could not be incorporated in this
Vaishnava pantheon: these were Shiva (the Dravidian God) and Mahadev (the
Tibetic God of Tantrism).
3.2.2 Tibetic Origin of Tantrism
The original religion of the Sino-Tibetan peoples of India and Tibet was
Bon religion, what may be called Proto-Tantrism, since many concepts of Tantrism
can be found in Bon religion. The mad fantasy propagated by the modern-day Aryan
Vaidikas and Vaishnavas holds that this Tantrism is a derivative of Vedic
religion. Such fallacies have no foundation in any of the Vedic texts. Please
keep in mind that the Vedic Aryans are those same monsters who invaded India,
destroying the Harappan civlization, smashing thousands of Shaiva and Shakta
temples. These barbarians raped, looted and destroyed the Indus Valley cities
till no trace of them remained. Are such people even capable of imagining such
an intellectual philosophy as Tantrsim, let alone be the originators of such a
faith?
The answer is no. It cannot be. And I shall prove that below. The Tantric
religion has been presecuted by the Brahmanist fanatics of the 6 orthodox
schools for over two thousand years, and the Sinto-Tibetan peoples have been
exterminated from many parts of India by the racist Vedic Aryans. That Tantrism
is of Tibetan origin, being derived from the ancient Bon TIbetan religion, is
evident from the following :
`Chinese Rites' - Tantrism is referred to as `The Chinese Rites' in the
Indian Tantric texts themselves [ Alchmey, p.149 ], indicating their origin from
`China' or Tibet, `Mahachina' being reserved for China Proper.
- Fifth Veda - The legend of the Fifth Veda as narrated in the Tantric texts
describe it falling from heaven into Tibet, and thus the people of that
country are referred to as adepts at the "Rites of the 5th Veda".
As per another legend, Brahma memorized all the 5 Vedas. He taught the 4
Vedas to the Brahmans, but kept the 5th Veda (ie. the Tantras) safe for a
time when mankind was ready. Due to Brahma's arrogance, Shiva cut off his
head, and the 5th Veda then fell to Tibet, where its inhabitants took up the
study with great zeal [ Alchemy, p.149 ]. Thus, as per the Tantras
themselves, the original home of Tantrism is clearly stated to be Tibet.
- Mahadeva's Home - `Mahadeva', the phallic god of Tantrism (to be
distinguished from the black Dravido-Kolarian Shiva), is based on a Bon
`Great God' of the mountains. His home is in the Himalayas, and he is white
simply because he is Tibetic (North Mongoloid). Mt. Meru, `Mahadeva's Home',
is obviously in the Himalayas, probably near Lake Mansarovar. Hence, the
home of the supreme Tantric God is itself located in Tibet; another clear
indication of its origins.
- Vasishta's Travel to Tibet - As per the Rudrayamala Tantra [
Rudrayamalatantra.XVII ], Vasishta travelled to the sea-shore (this would
indicate Bengal) or, as per the Brahmayamala Tantra, [ Brahmayamalatantra
I-III ], to the Kamakhya hills, Assam. He observed strict Yoga worship for
the Devi Buddhesvari. He did for this for a long time without any results
and so cursed the Devi. Then the Devi appeared and said, " he had
adopted an altoghter wrong path; her worship was unknown in the Vedas ; it
was known only in the country of Mahacina; and that Vasishta would gain his
object if he received instruction from Vishnu now residing there as Buddha.
There he was surprised to find the Buddha drinking wine enjoying several
women. His doubts were soon dispelled by Buddha, who initiated him." [
cf also Mahacinatantra ], [ Taratantram (Gaudagranthamala),Ch.141 ] [ Gupta
] [ cf also Alchemy, p.151 ]. This story once again indicates the source of
Tantrism as being Tibet.
- Lamaism - Tantrism is still practiced in Tibet, where it is the national
religion, under the guise of Lamaism or Vajrayana `Buddhism'. All observers,
however, are aware that this religion owes more to Bon than to Buddhism.
Tantrism was more of an underground witchcraft movement in India. Orthodox
Vaishnavism was not very happy with such beliefs, and in Bengal the Tibetan
Buddhists (ie. Tantrics) were crushed by the Brahminist Sena dynasty. These
persons welcomed the Islamic invasion, since it led to the destruction of
Vaishnavite shrines. The Muslim Sufis further developed the mystic Tibetic
Tantrism, mixing it with Arabian alchemy and ancient Egyptian cults
(absorbed into Arab Sufism), as clearly depicted in the case of the Madari
Sufists. There are thus two fountainheads of mysticism in Asia, one is
Tibet, and the other Arabia (eg. the Syrian Harran, and the ancient Sabean
shrine of the Ka'aba, a representative of Saturn, the Sabean Priapus, which
as per Sufic doctrines was later absorbed into Islam).
- `Parvati' - The name of Mahadeva's wife is Parvati, meaning `of the
mountain', ie. she came from the Himalayas. She is depicted as fair in
Tantric paintings In Dravidian Saiva tradition, by contrast, the black Kali
is the consort of Shiva. This shows that the Sudric Shaiva and Tibetic
Tantric religions are distinct, separate faiths.
- Yab-Yum - Taoism in China has the concept of yin-yang, similar to the
Tantric yab-yum concept and the Adi-buddha and Adi-prajna notions in later
Buddhism [ Gupta, p.341 ].
- Goddess Uma - Uma is another manifestation of Shakti, and is referred to
as Haimavati or daughter of Himavat (the Himalaya range) [ Kena
Upanishad.III.25 ] [ Chandra, p.123 ]. She is another Tantric goddess from
the Tibetic Himalayas.
- Taoist Siddhas - The Siddha cult (a medieval Mughal alchmist cult) was, as
per its own tradition, introduced by one Taoist alchamist from China: This
popular tradition holds that the Siddhas were
"a band of death-defying theriacal and therapeutic alchemists
indebted in all respects to Bhoga, a pre-Christian Taoist immigrant from
China , who, in his methods of cleaning up the body of impure matter
through `reverberation' and `projection' to the pitch of pracitcally
cancelling demise, merely sought to promulgate the lesser athanasic
precepts of Lao-tse, since the vital objective of the Tao-Teh-King is the
transfiguration of the immortalised ethereal body into a permanent garment
of celestial virtue, in order to fit it to associate to eternity with the
Tao"
-- [ Gupta, p. 193 ] and [ Siddha ]
- Mahacina Tantra - One of the Tantras is called `Mahacinatantra', and the
doctrines propounded are Taoist and Tibetic Bon. There are no `Bharat
Tantras' or `Arya Tantras'; hence to explain Tantrism away as a corruption
of Vedic religion is ridiculous.
- Dakini Tantra - Mark Roberts, researcher on Tantra, writes that the Dakini
school of Tantra originated in Tibet :
" It is well recorded that in most ancient times, in a hidden corner
of the land that was to become Tibet, the Dakini had a Sacred Domain ~ a
land pure of males ~ and it is from their ancient realm that the Dakini
first shared the art of Tantra "
-- [ Dakin ]
All attempts to derive Dakini Tantra from Vedic faith are thus illogical.
- Mysticism - Mysticism is central to the Tantric religion, and still
pervades Sino-Tibetan culture. By contrast, there was no mystic tradition
during the Brahmanic Dark Ages (1500 BC - 1000 AD), since the Brahmins
maintained India in a period of enforced illiteracy and darkness.
- Alchemy - During the golden age of Indian alchemy, 1000 AD - 1800 AD,
comprising the era of the Caliphate of Delhi, Tibetic alchmey mixed with
Arabic-Islamic alchemy. Free from Orthodox Vaishnavite oppression,
Mughalstanic alchemy & Tantrism developed and expanded rapidly,
representing a mixture of Islamic Sufic and Tibetic Tantric traditions.
Thus, one can construct the following chart of Indo-Tibetic religions :
Old Bon Tibetic Religion
/ / \ \
/ Uttara Tantrism Bon Purbi (East Indic) Shaktism
Lamaism / | / \ \
/ | Bengal Assamese Orissa
Kashmir Shaivism | Tantrism Tantrism Tantrism
Tantric Islam, Nath cult etc. | \
Vaishnava Sahajiya Kamakhya
etc. Cult etc.
The Brahminist objection that the extant Tantras are very late and date
to the centuries AD is without consequence. The Tantras which survived the
Brahminic persecutions are renditions and copies of copies of ancient texts
and practices. No Vedic text is found on paper earlier than the 11th century
(paper was introduced by the Moslems), but that does not mean that the Vedas
were composed in the Islamic era. Similarly, these Tantras were composed in
Tibet in the early centuries BC, and only written down much later after
centuries of oral transmission.
Thus, Tibet is the fountainhead of Tantrism, and in fact all mystic
knowledge in the East.
3.2.3 African Origin of Sudroid Shaivism
-
The Aryans who followed the `astika' Brahminist religions of Vedism
and Vaishnavism (comprising the 6 orthodox schools) obliterated the Sudroid
religion of Shaivism from most of North India by destroying countless Shaiva
temples and racially exterminating Sudroids. Shaivism is related to native
African religion as is evident from :
- Shiva's Name Absent in Vedas - The name `Shiva' does not occur even once
as a name of a god in the Vedas. Moreover, the phallus worshippers are
disparagingly referred to as `shishna-devas' and as `Dasyus' in the Vedic
texts. It is thus absurd to claim Shiva is a Vedic god. Only Brahmin
historians who are experts at distorting history can put forth such
ludicrous lunacies.
- Dravidian Etymology of Shiva - The word `Shiva' is of Dravidian etymology,
`civa' meaning `reddened' or `angry' in Tamil. There is no sensible
etymology from Sanskrit, although wild fantasies have been set forth by the
Brahmins and Vaishnavas, claiming it is derived from `si'. Nothing could be
further from the truth.
- African Murungu - The East Africans worship a god called Murungu who is
the exact counterpart of the Dravidian god Murugan. Both have phallic
aspects [ Sud ].
- Voodoo - Indeed, one finds a kind of Dravidian `voodoo' among the
untouched Dravidians living in remote areas. The custom of piercing dolls
that represent the victim are to be found amongsst Sudroids.
- Black Lingas - The lingas in all of the Shiva temples are made of black
stone, indicating that a Black god is being worshipped. Had Shiva been
white, white marble lingas would have been constructed. It is only in the
Tibetic Tantric tradition that Mahadeva is white.
One should not use the word `Tantrism' for this set of beliefs, since
Tantra means the 5th Veda from Tibet. Moreover, in Tantrism the male and
female principles are treated as equal, while in Sudroid Shaivism the male
principle is treated as more important. `Dravidian' or `Sudra religion' or
`Dravidian Shaivism' are better terms. This faith is independant of Tibetic
Tantrism. The practices may have been similar, but that does not justify
their confusion under one monolithic faith. Just because the Greeks had the
Dionysus and Priapus cults does not mean that they were `Tantrics' or `Shaivites';
similarly the occurrence of Priapus-like cults among the Dravidians and
Bantu Africans does not imply they are Tantrics.
It is important to distinguish the White Tibetic Mahadeva, the Black Old
Dravidian Shiva; and the Roman Hermes, Greek Priapus and Nordic Odin; they
have no relation. These are similar gods in different religions.
However, in common usage in India, Tantra refers to any non-Vedic
practice, and incorporates many Dravidian beliefs. Some scholars indeed hold
Tantra to be of Dravidian origin, dating back to the pre-Aryan Indus Valley
[ 2T ]. There were however, Mongoloid inhabitants in the Indus Valley, and
hence Tantrism is not to be discounted as a possible Indus Valley faith.
3.2.4 Mon-Khmer Origin of Shaktism
Shaktism, involving the veneration of Shakti, is still a major
religion of the Mon-Khmer races of India. That this religion is of non-Vedic
Mon-Khmer origin is proven by the following facts :
- Matriarchy - The Mon-Khmer peoples follow matriarchal customs, and hence
veneration of the Shakti or female principle, is natural for them.
Polyandry, matrilineal succession and other customs indicate the dominance
of women and the respect they were given in Mon-Khmer society.
- Brahminist Vaishnava Persecution of Women - The Aryan religions of Vedism,
Vaishnavism, Buddhism and Jainism have the slightest regard for women. In
fact, Vedism and Vaishnavism are the most dehumanising religions on record
as far as treatment of women is concerned. The horrific practices of Vedic
sati, dowry and Vedic female infanticide are just some of the examples of
the inhuman treatment meted out to women living under the restrictions
imposed by the Vedas. Given this dismal record, it is inconceiveable to
imagine a Vedic origin for Shaktism.
- Destruction of Shakta shrines - This religion and its followers were also
subject to savage persecution by the Aryan Vaishnavas. Thus, Arjun waged war
against the `Nagas' during the Mahabharatan Holocaust. Indeed, one only has
to go to any Vaishnava temple in India. All were built on the site of Shaiva,
Shakta or Tantra shrines after their desecrating, plundering and demolition.
Far from being the originators of these noble religions, the Aryan
Vaishnavas and Vaidiks have been the savage destroyers of these faiths.
3.3 Race Wars
Indeed, the Vedic race wars continue to this day. In Bihar, for instance,
various Brahmin militias like the Ranvir Sena have been engaged in racial
conflict with Dalit Blacks, who have joined mainly Maoist Communist outfits.
To give just one example, the Brahminic Ranvir Sena butchered 23 Blacks to
`celebrate' the 50th Republic Day :
"[ T ]o mark the 50th Republic Day, an outlawed army of upper caste
landlords massacred at least 23 Dalits in the badlands of Bihar."
-- Times of India, Jan 28, 1999
These conflicts are a continuation of the Vedic race wars between Aryas
and Sudras. Indeed, since 1500 BC, the history of India has been one of
constant racial warfare between the white Aryans and the black Sudras
(Dalits, Dravidians and Kolarians). Some measure of peace returned during
the Delhi Caliphate of Mughalstan, but after the collapse of that state the
classic race wars resumed.
There is hence no `One Hindu Race'. There are, and have been, a multitide
of perpetually conflicting different races. All attempts to base a
definition of `Hindu' on a racial basis have failed and have been discarded.
It is thus clear that Hinduism never was one monolithic religion. Such a
concept was invented much later, during the 19th-20th centuries during
Anglo-Brahmin ascendancy.
