Shivshri Puroshottamji Khedekar

Marathas declare war on Brahminism

PURUSHOTTAM KHEDEKAR

Founder, Maratha Seva Sangh
English translation: P.S. Sadar
Foreword: V.T. Rajshekar

Brahminism as India's Enemy No.1
This is an important speech delivered by Brother Purushottam Khedekar, a firebrand Maratha leader, at the historic Sindkheda (Maharashtra) ceremony on Jan.12, 2005 when over a lakh of angry Marathas, the ruling community of Maharashtra, quit Hinduism and embraced the new religion of Shiv Dharma after a belated realisation that they have become victims of Brahminism. Dalit Voice earlier held a Debate on Shiv Dharma in which many Dalit intellectuals and even some Marathas joined. As expected the Brahminical toilet papers totally blacked out the news of this Jan.12 event. Since Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, the Father of India, has identified Brahminism as India's principal contradiction which has to be fought first and eliminated, as Ambedkarites it is our duty to support any such endeavour. Dalits as the worst victims of Brahminism, it is our duty to support all such struggles fighting Brahminism which is also our Enemy No.1. The speech sums up the havoc caused by Brahminism on the people of India. If the ruling Marathas, Maharashtra's single largest and the most powerful caste, is made mince-meat by the Brahmins, we can well imagine the fate of Dalits, the lowest of the low. The speech of Khedekar published in the Marathi daily, Deshonnati, Nagpur, Jan.24, 2005, and translated to English by P.S. Sadar, a member of the Dalit Voice family, was published in two instalments in Dalit Voice. We are bringing this reprint of the speech for wider circulation of the message and promote its translation to other Indian languages.
