THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, JAN. 16. The CPI State secretary, Veliyam Bhargavan, has termed the Sree Narayana Dharma Paripalana (SNDP) Yogam general secretary, Vellappally Natesan's call for a broad Hindu unity in Kerala a hoax on both the followers of Sree Narayana Guru and various Hindu backward communities and adivasis. In a reply in his question-answer column in the latest issue of the party organ `Navayugom', Mr. Bhargavan said that the call has little relevance other than as a reflection of the SNDP Yogam general secretary's ulterior personal motives and the result of machinations of the Sangh Parivar to pit the majority and minority communities against each other in the State.
Pan-Hindu unity
There is little in common in the lives of the upper crust and the marginalised sections of the Hindu religion. Therefore, any attempt to band together all the castes and sub-castes of Hinduism is nothing but an attempt to take these communities into the RSS camp in keeping with Sangh Parivar's strategy of bringing to fruition the RSS ideologue Golwalker's slogan of a pan-Hindu unity, Mr. Bhargavan said. The CPI leader wanted to know how the various lower castes and sub-castes in the Hindu religion could share the same space in society with the upper castes when all along the 2000-year-old history of caste system in the country the lower castes have been discriminated against in matters of worship, movement, education and other social activities.
Mandal Commission
The Sangh Parivar had displayed its real colour as recently as a decade ago by launching a countrywide agitation against the V. P. Singh Government's decision to implement the Mandal Commission recommendations aimed at bringing about social justice. And, roughly a year ago, five Dalit youth in Haryana were beaten to death for having skinned a dead cow. All this showed how powerful the stranglehold of caste system is in large parts of India even today.
