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 RacesSometimes 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 :
Thus, there is no such thing as a `Hindu Race'. Such concepts exist only in the minds and books of bigoted Brahmin anthropologists.
- 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 ].
3.2 Race and ReligionIn 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 VaishnavismVishnu 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 TantrismThe 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 "All attempts to derive Dakini Tantra from Vedic faith are thus illogical.
-- [ Dakin ]
- 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 ShaktismShaktism, 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 WarsIndeed, 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."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.
-- Times of India, Jan 28, 1999
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.
