despite all the bullshit about how OBCs feel anti-hindu, at least the OBCs i know best, the ezhavas of kerala, have figured out that their salvation lies in the indigenous faith, not in any of the imported semitic faiths. the ezhavas/thiyyas are migrating away from their past ties to marxism, and this happened when they realized marxists are the most casteist and sexist people in india, and that they are hell-bent on destroying anything indigenous.
ezhavas have become much more religious on average in the current generation as compared to the past generation.
vellappalli is actively working with the nair service society. the ezhava-nair animosity has been the bane of kerala hindus, and have forced both groups (who account for the majority of hindus in kerala) to watch from the sidelines as christists and mohammedans took over the state. if the NSS and the SNDP can make their current tenuous alliance stick -- and that is a big if -- then kerala hindus have some hope. otherwise it is convert, flee or die.
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: R
[Shri. Vellappally Natesan(VN), an undisputed leader of the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam, the social organisation of crores of Ezhavas in Kerala, is well known for his outspokenness and his fearless crusade against the exploitation of the majority Hindus by the organized and rich minorities. He spoke to the Haindavakeralam recently and opened up his mind. The second part of the interview:]
HK: Kerala's public revenue is being channeled to Muslims and Christians deceptively in the name of development. What are you doing to expose and prevent it?
VN :Both the Political alliances, UDF and LDF are in the hands of minorities. They are competing each other to appease the minorities. The Hindus in the government will not say anything as they are also part of the appeasing machinery. Therefore, the Hindu society has to be brought under one umbrella to fight this kind of injustices. We are now in that pursuit.
From 1956, Education portfolio is handled by Muslim and Christian Ministers. More than 90 percent of Colleges, Schools and professional institutions are in Muslim/Christian hands. Government has no control over the selection and appointment of teachers. There is no reservation for scheduled castes.. Christians and Muslims appoint people from their community and the state pays for their salary. Is it not government directly funding Muslims and Christians with tax payers money?
HK :Is it not government directly funding Muslims and Christians with tax payers money?
VN : Yes, But, as I said, unless our people, by our people I mean those Hindus who realize the impending dangers and stand for the community, we may not be able to do anything. Both the minorities are united and have control over the government. Muslims and Christians with their vote bank exert pressure on the government and control the judiciary, executive, banking, economics, commerce, education and fincnce. Because of their vote bank politics, the administration favor Muslims and Christians.
HK : Forest land is being encroached by Christians with the active support of the Revenue Minister and the government. Are you doing anything to prevent such practice?
VN : Their (Christian's) money power, social and political strength is strong that they could dictate terms to the government. I cannot alone launch a campaign against it alone. That is the reason, why I am pleading with the Hindus to come together as a single force.
HK: Temple fund from Sabarimala and Guruvayoor is diverted by government agencies. Anything is being done to stop it?
VN: Here also the answer is Unity of Hindus. There is no point in one segment of the Hindus demanding liberation of temples from the clutches of the government. It will not be heard at all. But, if all the Hindu community in the state are united and demand stoppage of diversion of temples and even the handing over of the temple to the community that might click. But, here a good section of Hindus in fact are not concerned with this kind of dubious activities. Look at the unity of the Christians, there are many denominations but when anything crops up against the Christian community as a whole they all unite under the name of Christ. Where as, among the Hindus they are divided and remain on different islands. Even hearing the call for Hindu unity is like the arrival of "Katrina" for them.
HK: Hindu unity is essential for the preservation of cultural, social, spiritual values. Why not move forward with the alliance of other Hindu organizations beyond NSS and SNDP? RSS, VHP and Hindu Aiykka Vedi have done sincere works in this regard. Why not extend your alliance with them too?
RSS, VHP and Hindu Aikkya Vedi are different organs of the Sangh Parivar. They have done excellent social services for the Hindu community. They have also created a positive Hindu awarness. But the pseudo secular media and vested interest groups have created several obstacles for them. A stigma has been created in the minds of the people by the hostile groups here that RSS is a Hindu nationalist group to establish Hindu dominance. So long as this image remains there it would be difficulty in bringing all the disunited, disorganised Hindus together. Therefore, the RSS should evolve a strategic approach to remove this stigma created by the Congress and Communist parties in the psyches and minds of the Hindu people. There is a nexus among the Congress, the Communist, the Muslim and Christians against Hindu unity and the growth of RSS, VHP and Hindu Aiykkavedi. They are afraid that their selfish political game would be thwarted if RSS is successful in uniting all segments of Hindus.
RSS is not untouchable for SNDP. But, I would like to point out that there is a false belief among the backward classes including the Ezhavas that RSS is an organisation of the upper caste Hindus and its strength is that community. RSS needs to introduce effective strategies to recruit backward classes including Ezhavas into RSS. When you look at the number of people sacrificed their lives for the Communists, majority of them are from the backward classes. Despite this fact, they are not seen in the top rungs of power.
Two of my drivers had undergone OTC. They used to share their positive feelings for RSS. If the RSS is able to attract Hindus from all segments of the community through their work, things would change.
HK: Communists and Congress party place Muslim and Christian candidates at places where Hindus are a majority. Example----Varkala, Allapuzha, Kayamkulam, Ernakulam, Chryinkizhe. Why not you recommend Hindu candidates?
VN: It is true. The pseudo-secular Hindus are responsible for it. Influencing them would take a long. On the other hand, the BJP which could have capitalized on the Hindu community but for their appeasing strategy after they came to power at New Delhi, had damaged their image. When they were in the corridors of power in Delhi they also tried to keep the minorities by providing them wealth and other benefits. Once they got the wealth they simply deserted the party. Look at PC Thomas, he was made a minister. Of the 38 posts of Standing Counsel released 36 went to his own community. This folly they have to realize and act at least now in Kerala.
HK: More Hindus are economically deprived, socially marginalized and educationally disadvantaged by the deliberate policies of the government. What large schemes are you planning?
VN: The Hindus have yet to realize this problem. The poor Hindus are still the vote bank of the LDF who don't want to improve their standard of living. Similar approach is of the UDF which is controlled by the rich minority communities. Fully understanding this scenario SNDP has conceived the idea of Micro Finance Institution through empowerment of women. Once a regular income is assured through self employment that would lead to economic independence, improved standard of living and so on. This facility along with some spiritualism would shape them up as good Hindus. In them long run that would make change in the attitude of these poor and backward people.
HK: Business, industry, commerce and education are in the hands of Muslims and Christians. How to empower and support Hindus?
VN: It is possible only through unity and education. All the Hindus should now remember when they leave their bed every morning the Sermon given by Sree Narayana Guru and act according: Gain strength through unity and become enlightened and educated through learning.
HK: Huge unaccounted foreign money is flowing for Muslims and Christians for conversion. What are you doing to stop such free flow of foreign money?
VN: Stopping the free flow of foreign money is the responsibility of the Central government which is pseudo-secular and influenced by the minorities. The backward communities including the Ezhavas are the easy prey of the missionaries and proselytized. Why do they fall prey to the Christian missionaries. They are money-less, they don't have a house, and even a piece of land, they may have to marry off their daughters. These are the factors influencing these poor people towards the missionaries lures.
HK: Government is funding huge amounts for Rubber and related agriculture and industry controlled by Christians while denying funds for industry handled by Hindus (Cashew, Coir). what plans do you have to prevent such nepotism?
VN: As I said earlier, there should be a strong Hindu lobby, which can understand the realities. If they are to realize the true situation these politicians might have to remove the pseudo-secular blinkers. They speak for the minorities but will be reticent when it comes to the Hindus. The Central government is the authority to extend such facilities. There only the Miniority lobby is capable of exerting pressure. They got export subsidy for pepper. Rubber is enjoying a better price now and the rubber lobby is so strong being the major crop of Christians that they get all concessions when the prices plummeted. Where the government spoke of minimum support price for copra, nothing happened. There is no support price for paddy, cashew and assistance for the coir sector where the poor Hindu women are the majority workers. For fighting this kind of nepotism, the unity of the Hindus is essential. I have taken the initiative to unite these people. We are at the first step of this endeavor now and hope we will be able to achieve the objective.
HK: Communism is morally bankrupt, socially dangerous, politically anti-Hindu and anti-national and lost all relevance in foreign countries. Most of their followers are Hindus. What are you doing to lure Hindus away from Communism?
VN: How Communism took root in this state. What had driven these poor Hindus in to the Communist trap? It was the notorious social/feudal system prevailing in this state. The Communists then emerged as the incarnations as the saviors of the poor. They built up the party among these poor, backward landless people as the party of the common. These people have been indoctrinated like the semitic organized religions do. They are in fact poisoned with the communism. There has not so far been an alternative. If a new party or an existing one could convince these people as a party that stands for the protection and welfare of the backward class Hindus irrespective of castes then they would slowly come out of the cages.
HK: In the name of globalization, discarded western goods and dicredited western values are being imported into kerala to de-construct kerala society and culture. What plans do you have to prevent such practices?
VN: See, our traditional small scale sectors are affected badly by the Globalization. The products manufactured the poor workers are not getting remunerative prices. The industry is facing closures depriving the people of jobs. But, what to do. It is the government here and at New Delhi has to realise the plight of the people. Those elected representatives from here who are supposed to enlighten those who are decision makers in the government are not doing so as the Hindus have no lobby as they are disunited. Therefore, the answer to all is "Hindu Unity" and awareness about the dangers lying ahead.
HK: Over the past decades, Christian and Muslim communities have managed to virtually monopolize most of our major institutions - educational, health care, markets, banking, media, government, etc. What plans are in the pipeline for the Hindu majority to make its impact on these fronts? Are there specific plans for the Hindus to take over these spheres by opening professional colleges, banks, hospitals, more HIndu business enterprises and other venues?
VN: It is true. But the Hindus do not have the money power to start self-financing educational institutions. Except for the Mata Amritanandamayi Madom none else could set up professional colleges. Educationally we are very poor of late. There are not enough qualified teachers. I could not get a qualified and efficient for a public school. For nursing college also there is shortage of Hindu Nursing School Principals. Our people haven't yet have a perception on these kind of developments, they are in hibernation.
This year I have issued a circular to find out how many Ezhava children are doing MBBS in the state and to give them Rs5,000 each. I could know that 70 students from the community were doing MBBS course and we have issued cheques for Rs5,000 each to them as an encouragement. This kind of encouragement should be there from other Hindu organisations.
HK: Do you agree with the contention that, by granting license to Christian and Muslim educational institutions in Kerala, these communities are managing to divert Hindu money through capitation and tuition fees away from Hindu institutions outside of Kerala to their communities? Do you agree that the naiive Hindu Kerala population is being duped?
VN: Yes, I do agree
HK: Do you agree with a rising popular concern that the Christian and Muslim investors are using popular media to defame, ridicule, and subtly discredit Hindu society and their beliefs through cinema and television serial scripts? Will you take the initiative to organize a mass movement to influence the Film Censor Board and media moguls to change their communal slant, or even organize a mass protest in the form of boycott of the media and cinema?
VN: Yes, I do. But, what to do. We don't have media to propagate our ideology. Look at the channels. For the Christian churches there are two or three 24-hour channels. There other electronic media which stands for other religious groups and communists, we have none. Even if we got any that operates as 'pseudo-secular". There are Hindu pseudo-secularists to torpedo any such moves. They have lost self-respect. They can regain it only through awareness and unity. Given this scenario the Hindus need to unite and gain strength -economic, social and political- then only a Hindu can live like a Hindu here.
