To the extent that German history is taught it’s in the context of “the view that had Hitler not weakened the British Empire by the Second World War, the British would have never voluntarily left India.”Business Week: Hitler Has a Following in India
The country’s Jewish community—some 5,300 people—is one of a few in the world to have never been persecuted by their countrymen. Solomon Sopher, president of the Baghdadi Jewish community in Mumbai, agrees: “We have never been persecuted by any caste or creed. Not even by the Muslims.” He adds that Indians are prone to “hero worship” of strong military leaders.

Brutal fascism on display in "Rational,Progressive" Tamil Nadu
Shri. Subramaniam Swamy was physically assaulted by "Dravidian" neanderthal thugs inside court premises. This is clearly intended as an intimidatory tactic to browbeat an individual who has been outspoken in defense of Hindu causes during the dark days of the fascist UPA at the centre and the Stalinist, racist secessionists in the state of Tamil Nadu.
Where is the shrill banshee Renuka Chowdhary now? Where are all the
professional agitators for "Human rights", "Rationalism", "Freedom of Speech", "Democracy" etc - when these principles are actually violated with impunity? Do the adherents of the "Dravidian" death cult have a license to indulge in hate speech and physical assault directed at nationalistic forces?
The attack on Subramanium Swamy is likely a precursor to an all out holocaust against Hindus in Tamil Nadu, the much demonised Brahmins in particular.
Will any "warnings" or "directives" be issued to the fascist regime of Tamil Nadu under Article 355 now - when there is a transparent breakdown in law and order, indeed a threat to national unity and territorial integrity?
Will Renuka Chowdhary approach the Election Commission to disenfranchise the enablers of "Tamil Ealam" terrorism on Indian soil? Will Nandita Das produce a movie cataloguing the contours of "Dravidian" genocide against Hindus?
Don't hold your breath...

"Janata Party president Subramanian Swamy was assaulted by a group of lawyers in a courtroom at the Madras High Court on Tuesday. The incident happened between 11.45 am and 12.05 pm in the court of Justice PK Mishra and Justice K Chandru, during the hearing of a case filed by Dikshithars of Chidambaram Natarajan Temple challenging a single judge order allowing the Government to take over the temple administration. Swamy was present in the court to plead himself. Shouting pro-LTTE slogans, the advocates manhandled Swamy.
The agitated lawyers shouted, “get out you Brahmin dog”, “you LTTE-hater”. They hurled rotten eggs at Swamy, soiling his clothes and beating him on the right side of his neck.
Swamy was waiting for his case to come up in the courtroom when the attack took place. Even as he enjoys Z-category security, his security personnel were not allowed inside the courtroom as per rules."

outlook:The Indian Jews: Parallels between anti-Brahminism and anti-Semitism
jun 20th, 2008
some white guy has said this, so it must be true. although indians have been saying this for a long time, that brahmins have been demonized quite intentionally and quite thoroughly, essentially as a prelude to their being wiped out. and the reason is that the brahmins have been the main obstacle preventing christism from taking over.
similarly caste has been vilified because it is another major reason why christists have not been able to convert lots of hindus.
also similarly, the temples at sabarimala, tirupati, and the kanchi matham, as well as mata amritanandamayi, the sai baba, sri sri ravisankar, are all attacked because they are causing the christists to miss their conversion quotas. so they activate their puppets in the media etc.
but if anybody questions any christist godman/godwoman, then all hell breaks loose.
christism is even more dangerous than mohammedanism because the former will stab you in the back while smiling at you; whereas the latter is honest enough to look you in the eye and slice your throat. christism is hypocritical in addition to all its other wonderful fascist traits.

To be against "Brahminism" is part and parcel of the political correctness of progressive scholars in twenty-first-century India, much like being against Muslims is part of the message of their Hindutva colleagues.
JAKOB DE ROOVER
Social science debate in India has been hijacked by the struggle between secularism and Hindutva for decades now. Usually the Sangh Parivar is blamed for this turn of events. However, it could well be argued that the Hindutva ideologues simply adopted the stance of the secularists. Perhaps the best illustration is the case of anti-Brahminism.
To be against "Brahminism" is part and parcel of the political correctness of progressive scholars in twenty-first-century India, much like being against Muslims is part of the message of their Hindutva colleagues. This indicates that something is very wrong with the Indian academic debate. Promotion of animosity towards a religious tradition or its followers is not acceptable today, but it becomes truly perverse when the intelligentsia endorses it.
In Europe, it took horrendous events to put an end to the propaganda of anti-Semitism, which had penetrated the media and intelligentsia. It required decades of incessant campaigning before anti-Semitism was relegated to the realm of intellectual and political bankruptcy. In India, anti-Brahminism is still the proud slogan of many political parties and the credential of the radical intellectual.
Some may find this parallel between anti-Brahminism and anti-Semitism ill-advised. Nevertheless, it has strong grounds.
First, there are striking similarities between the stereotypes about Brahmins in India and those about Jews in the West. Jews have been described as devious connivers, who would do anything for personal gain. They were said to be secretive and untrustworthy, manipulating politics and the economy. In India, Brahmins are all too often characterised in the same way.
Second, the stereotypes about the Jews were part of a larger story about a historical conspiracy in which they had supposedly exploited European societies. To this day, the stories about a Jewish conspiracy against humanity prevail. The anti-Brahminical stories sound much the same, but have the Brahmins plotting against the oppressed classes in Indian society.

The fifth parallel is that both anti-Semitism and anti-Brahminism have deep roots in Christian theology. In the case of Judaism, its continuing vitality as a tradition was a threat to Christianity's claim to be the fulfilment of the Jewish prophecies about the Messiah. The refusal of Jews to join the religion of Christ (the true Messiah, according to Christians) was seen as an unacceptable denial of the truth of Christianity. Saint Augustine even wrote that the Jews had to continue to exist, but only to show that Christians had not fabricated the prophesies about Christ and to confirm that some would not follow Christ and be damned for it.
The contemporary stereotypes about Brahmins and the story about Brahminism also originate in Christian theology. They reproduce Protestant images of the priests of false religion. When European missionaries and merchants began to travel to India in great numbers, they held two certainties that came from Christian theology: false religion would exist in India; and false religion revolved around evil priests who had fabricated all kinds of laws, doctrines and rites in order to bully the innocent believers into submission. In this way, the priests of the devil abused religion for worldly goals. The European story about Brahminism and the caste system simply reproduced this Protestant image of false religion. The colonials identified the Brahmins as the priests and Brahminism as the foundation of false religion in India. This is how the dominant image of "the Hindu religion" came into being.
The sixth parallel lies in the fact that Christian theology penetrated and shaped the "secular" discourse about Judaism and Brahminism. The theological criticism became part of common sense and was reproduced as scientific truth. In India, this continues unto this day. Social scientists still talk about "Brahminism" as the worst thing that ever happened to humanity.
Perhaps the most tragic similarity is that some members of the minority community have internalised these stories about themselves. Some Jews began to believe that they were to blame for what happened during the Holocaust; many educated Brahmins now feel that they are guilty of historical atrocities against other groups. In some cases, this has led to a kind of identity crisis in which they vilify "Brahminism" in English-language academic debate, but continue their traditions. In other cases, the desire to "defend" these same traditions has inspired Brahmins to aggressively support Hindutva.
In twentieth-century Europe, we have seen how dangerous anti-Semitism was and what consequences it could have in society. Tragically, unimaginable suffering was needed before it was relegated to the realm of unacceptable positions. In India, anti-Brahminism was adopted from Protestant missionaries by colonial scholars who then passed it on to the secularists and Dalit intellectuals.They created the climate which allowed the Sangh Parivar to continue hijacking the social sciences for petty political purposes.
The question that India has to raise in the twenty-first century is this: Do we need bloodshed, before we will realise that the reproduction of anti-Brahminism is as harmful as anti-Muslim propaganda? What is needed to realise that the Hindutva movement has simply taken its cue from the secularists? Do we need a new victory of fascism, before we will admit that pernicious ideologies should not be sold as social science?

Ratzy lamenting decline in his fascist cadre
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The number of men and women belonging to Roman Catholic religious orders worldwide has continued to decline but there has been an increase in priests assigned to dioceses, the Vatican said Tuesday............deleted
The Vatican has long lamented a decrease in the number of priestly vocations in Europe and elsewhere in recent years, while the number of priests has increased in Africa and Asia.
The Osservatore Romano report did not give a reason for the recent figures.
Pope Benedict XVI said in a 2005 speech to Italian priests that the West was "a world that is tired of its own culture, a world that has arrived at a time in which there's no more evidence of the need for God, much less Christ, and in which it seems that man alone can make himself."
Mentioning Australia, Europe and the United States, the pontiff said in that speech that "one sees that the great churches appear to be dying."
Obviously, christism is dying in the affluent world leading to a paucity of cadre for Ratzy's fascist organisation. Catholicism is synonymous with irrational
dogmas, obscurantism, genocide of native civilisations across the globe and of course, paedophilia. Why would anyone in their senses want to be affliated with this diabolical cult ? Economic data would reveal that any growth in their numbers is occurring in impoverished areas due to deliberately targeted proselytisation of destitute people under duress. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that Ratzy's recruitment drive has few takers in Europe, North America etc.
It is a distinct possibility that in the not too distant future, a significant percentage of the death cult's "clergy" would be comprised of Indian christist bigots like Saajan George et al. Given that christism is an imperialistic cult invented by Europeans to implement their agenda of world domination, the rise of hateful Kerala christists or "Dravidian" christists in the cult's corporate structure will not be tolerated.
That implies two possible outcomes: the Euro-centric Vatican cuts off the Kerala christists and the latter become a heretic cult like the Ahmaddiyas OR the global church dies and the only christists remaining anywhere are Indian christists. The second scenario would be somewhat analogous to the death of Communism worldwide while remaining a nuisance in India commanding control of education, media, governance far disproportionate to their actual support base. Kerala christists already enjoy too much power within India in the areas mentioned and also control how Hindu nationalists are depicted before the world.
Christist aggression in India is a historical fact and present day reality. Yet,
Kerala christists are acting as catalysts in setting India and the West on the path to confrontation by their constant demonisation of Hindu nationalism.
