पुस्तक विश्लेषण: इतिहास, परंपरा, दर्शन, राष्ट्रीयता, गौरव और ग्लानि का वस्तुनिष्ठ अवलोकन है रामधारी सिंह 'दिनकर' जी की 'संस्कृति के चार अध्याय'

अतीत में झांकने की प्रवृत्ति मानव सभ्यता में बहुत ही सहज व स्ववभाविक है। किंतु प्रश्न ये है की अपने प्राचीन संस्कारों में झाँकने का ये मोह हमें है ही क्यों? अगर तो उद्देश्य है की वहाँ से हमें कुछ गौरवशाली पल या प्रेरणा मिले तो सोचने की बात है कि इतिहास का समस्ता ताना बाना (विशेषतः भारत जैसे प्राचीन इतिहास का) सुनहली किरणों से तो बुना नहीं गया है। शताब्दियों शताब्दियों लंबी घोर अंधकार की चादर भी…

Biography of Swami Dayananda Saraswati

Dayananda was born in an orthodox Brahman family at Tankara in the Morvi state in Kathiawar in 1824. The name of his father was Karsamji Tiwari who served as a priest in a Shiva temple.

These thinkers, many of whom were educated in foreign European capitals, would build on the orientalist fascination of European philosophers and scholars who spoke dolefully of the loss of "an archaic Hindu civilization." The Indian subcontinent, these British, French, and German scholars contended, had once been the cradle of all humanity and that "humanism" itself had been lifted out of Hindu values. They argued that Hindu society had faltered, lost its zeal, and through patriotism and nationalism would find reinvigoration. Among these, Dayananda Saraswati (1824–83), Aurobindo (1872–1950), Swami Vivekananda (1863–1902), as well as organizations like the Arya Samaj (Society of Aryans; formed in 1875) and the Hindu Mahasabha (1915), were the most prominent. As a collective, they sought to both resurrect a "forgotten" and "erased" glory of India's Hindu past as well as reformulate Hindus as a respectable, palatable, and intelligible community. To accomplish this project, author Jyotirmaya Sharma says the quartet of thinkers appeared to agree on several ideas they argued would resuscitate the Hindu identity.

First, it meant transforming Hinduism into a codified religion, founded on racial and doctrinal unity. It was foreigner, after all, who had diluted the nation from its Hindu core and made India insular; it was now the duty to recast India anew in the vision of a glorious past. Hinduism was therefore India and India was only Hindu. "Binding them all together was a singular vision of Hindu India and its destiny," Sharma writes. All questions on religion were to be henceforth directed to the Vedas and the so-called golden age (400–600 CE), in what Sharma describes, as "the end of theology." "There was little scope for a diversity of opinions, practices, rituals, observances, and individual choices," Sharma argues. Or as author Anustap Basu explains, "it meant compacting a pantheon of a million gods in axiomatic Hindu icons like Rama or Krishna, absorbing errant, syncretic pieties, and picturing a singular Hindu telos."

Second, it involved recasting Hinduism as masculine, aggressive, and militarily proficient. As Sharma writes, "Hindus had to live and die for an ideal." According to this logic, the Muslim "invasions" and British colonial rule had only succeeded because Hindus had lost their way. The philosophers argued that Hindus would have to adapt, fight back, or perish. Third, to treat Hinduism as the most perfect of faiths, or as the mother of all religions. Fourth, to be forever vigilant of threats from "outsiders." The vilification of Muslims was therefore central to the revitalization of the Hindu quest for self-preservation. But this notion of self-preservation was also contingent on the creation of a majority community (for without it there would be nothing to protect). "Those who did not fall in line had to be marginalized, ignored, harassed, and if need arose, eliminated," Sharma writes. Fifth, the answers to all questions were to be found in the Vedas. The final feature was the authorization to be blunt and harsh when dealing with enemies.

Scholars argue that the codification of the Hindu identity itself was the consolidation of an upper caste identity. In other words, Hindu nationalism itself was a caste project that had instrumentalized the British Census of the late nineteenth century to include all of the different religious and cultural rituals that existed in colonial India under the banner of "Hinduism." Not only did the census compress the different castes and tribal communities into the category of "Hindu," it allowed upper caste Brahmins the opportunity to wield control over all as well as promulgate a fiction that there had once been a unified Hindu civilization. These were the origins of Hindu majoritarianism. "These Brahminical scholars and leaders who talk about Hindutva being the religion of all castes must realize that the Scheduled Castes, Other Backward Classes, and Scheduled Tribes of this country have nothing in common with the Hindus," Dalit writer and activist Kancha Ilaiah argues.

"Shadows of History: Brahminical Influence and India's Struggle for Freedom"

Jai Bhim to all.

The conflict often mischaracterized as the initial struggle for independence against the British in 1857 was actually triggered by British violations of traditional Manu laws. This included punishment of Brahmins, erosion of Brahmin authority, and expanded opportunities in education and employment for Shudras.

In response, figures like Tantia Tope, a Konkani Brahmin, collaborated with other prominent Brahmins to strategize. With the nominal leadership of Bahadur Shah Jafar, figures like Nana Saheb, Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, and Sadashiba Rao Peshwa prepared for conflict.

The British, understanding the plot, suppressed the rebellion, targeting Brahmins and placing a bounty on their heads. Many Brahmins went underground, disguising themselves as ascetics or Babas (eg. Saibaba).

The introduction of the Indian Penal Code in 1860 marked a seismic shift, departing from Manu laws by instituting uniform punishment regardless of caste. The IPC now mandated death for resistance to British rule.

For years, Brahmins waited, wary of British reprisal, much like during Buddha and Ashoka's era and later in the 19th century.

By 1875, Dayananda Saraswati founded the Arya Samaj. Yet, Brahmins hesitated to act openly, fearing British retaliation.

In 1884, Bala Gangadhar Tilak, Lala Lajpat Rai, and Bipin Chandrapal founded Congress under the name Home Rule, appointing A.O. Hume as its first president.

Brahmins sought to temper British anger by signaling an alliance through Hume. Yet, the British saw through the ploy and dismissed it.

Later, Tilak assumed Congress presidency, realizing broader support was needed beyond Brahmins. He engaged with other community leaders, like Chhatrapati Sahu Maharaj and Mahatma Jyoti Rao Phule, but faced skepticism.

Phule's seminal work "Gulamgiri" underscored the need to challenge Brahminical dominance even before British departure. Phule's ideas galvanized the Mulnivasi, leading to skepticism of Brahmin leadership.

The Ganesh Nimajjana Utsav, initiated by Tilak, sought to unify Indians under Brahmin auspices, catalyzing support for independence.

Previously, Shivaji's festival was Maharashtra's primary celebration. Phule's unearthing of Shivaji's legacy highlighted Brahminical opposition to Shudra rule. Annual events like Bhima Koregaon served as reminders of Brahminical treachery.

Brahmins leveraged festivals like Ganesh Nimajjana to suppress their history of exploitation, fostering religious unity and support for their independence movement.

Through strategic propaganda, they recast Shivaji as a symbol of Hindu self-respect, obscuring their own antagonism towards Shudras and Mulnivasis, currently trending as Hindu-Muslim clashes in the name of Hindutva.
