Debrahmanising History

Much of India’s true history has been distorted, and even hidden, by Indian’s upper caste elite to promote their own agendas for the nation. These agendas include oppressing the majority population of India under the caste system. Debrahmanising History is a sweeping and radical survey of India’s true history. This is the story of the major Dalit-Bahujan intellectuals, of social and religious rebellions against caste and oppression over 2,500 years of Indian history, from Buddha to Ambedkar, and of the fight for freedom for and by India’s low-caste and Dalit populations. This book will transform your understanding of India, Hinduism and caste, giving you a true perspective of the real issues this nation faces on the social, religious and political fronts.

The pieces in this volume constitute roughly two genres. One is an introspection or analysis of Church and society in India. The other is consideration of the Christian response to persecution, especially the hate campaigns of the fundamentalist Hindutva Parivar, consisting of the Bhartiya Janata Party and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh which makes no bones about its genetic links with Hitler's Nazis. This book is meant to inform, and at times even provoke. This is the presentation of a Christian Civil Society activist's view of an India that he loves.

This book was originally written by Swami Dharmatheertha and entitled The Menace of Hindu Imperialism. G. Aloysius has edited and retranslated the original writing into this modern English version. It presents an overview of the history of caste in India, from the Aryan invasion approximately 3000 years ago, through ancient and recent religious and social movements that attempted to reject caste. This book states that much of the division and problems of this nation directly result from the “hideousness of Hindu life.” This is a call for all those interested in a truly free nation to actively fight against caste in India.
