Bahujan Awakening: From Chhatrapati Shivaji to Mahatma Phule, from Ambedkar to us — a few truths

  Bahujan Awakening: From Chhatrapati Shivaji to Mahatma Phule, from Ambedkar to us — a few truths 💥💥💥 ☝️Dear friends, ⚡During Chhatrapati Shivaji’s era (1600s) , the present-day categories of SC, BC, and OC did not exist. Society was divided by the varna system — the upper varnas (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya), the Shudras (today’s BCs, Reddys, Kammas, Kapus, Velamas, etc.), and the untouchables (Mahars, Malas, Madigas, etc.). 💥India was not a single nation then. Apart from British-controlled regions, there were around 600 small kingdoms , each ruled independently. Wars were not fought on religious grounds but for territorial control and political power . Shivaji fought mainly against the Bijapur Sultanate, Mughal Empire, Qutb Shahi dynasty, and Portuguese India . Among those who fought against Shivaji were Hindu kings like Jai Singh, Jaswant Singh, Baji Ghorpade, and Chandrarao More. Likewise, many Muslim leaders fought for Shivaji , such as Siddi Ibrahim (bodyguard) and D...

The Paradox of Power: Scams, Subsidies, and the Plight of the Indian Commoner

By  Nagesh Bhushan July 19, 2026 In the contemporary Indian political landscape, rhetoric often masks reality. A poignant critique recently raised by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Sanjay Singh cuts right to the heart of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) primary narrative. The BJP has long propelled itself on the claim that "Hindus are in danger" ( Hindu Khatre Mein Hain ). However, Singh sharply dismantled this premise with an undeniable demographic reality: "The Prime Minister of this country is a Hindu, the Home Minister is a Hindu, the Defense Minister is a Hindu. The Chief Ministers of 23 states are Hindus. When the entire machinery of governance is controlled by the majority community, how can Hindus possibly be in danger?" Singh’s ultimate challenge to the ruling dispensation was simple yet brutal: If Hindus are truly unsafe under an all-Hindu administration, it is an admission of profound incompetence. The ruling elite should apologize to the n...

Gora: Atheism Is a Constructive Way of Life!

Even in recent times, injustices continue to be committed against rationalists. If we think about why terrorism is thriving worldwide today, the answer we arrive at is, isn't it, religious fanaticism? Religious extremists are running amok in their attempt to establish religious empires. They are spewing hatred toward other religions — and no religion is exempt from spewing such hatred. We can see, right before our eyes, people who survive by exploiting religion, caste, and regional identity for politics. It only remains for us to recognize them. Much more could be said on this subject. But the immediate duty before us is this: to recognize and honor those noble individuals who lived without religion, to take them as role models, and to move forward, each within our own sphere. As for those who speak of divinity — they should, please, step outside without enjoying the fruits of human achievement, and prove for themselves what they truly are. In the ninth century, the Jain philosoph...

Science Does Not Create Strife!

Many great figures — Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Richard Dawkins, Abraham T. Kovoor, Periyar E.V. Ramasamy — have said that "religious belief turns a person into a fool." This country's Prime Minister, along with several Union ministers, has proven that statement true. There is no harm or danger that comes from not following any religion or not praying to any god. There are countless examples of this. Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Jains, who do not follow Hinduism, face no danger from Hindu gods. Similarly, Hindus, Muslims, and people of other faiths who do not believe in Christianity face no danger or loss from the Christian God. Nor do people of other faiths who do not believe in Allah have anything to fear from him. All of this pertains purely to belief. That is why there are no real dangers that arise from a lack of religious belief — and no real benefits that arise from having it. Beliefs without proof, and illusions, hold no real value. When someone points o...

The World's First Materialists — Our Charvakas

Dr. Devaraju Maharaju We have received a great deal of information about Jainism and Buddhism. But why has information about the Charvakas and their literature not survived? The answer is that Vedic religious propagandists deliberately destroyed that literature, leaving no trace of it! So how did even this much information reach us? It reached us through the writings of Vedic scholars who fiercely condemned the Charvaka/Lokayata school. In other words, some facts have come down to us from the opponents of the Charvakas. Whatever points these opponents disagreed with — in the course of writing about those disagreements — some of the Charvakas' ideas became known to us. Viewed through a rationalist lens, it appears that the Charvakas were speaking the truth. For example, Dayananda Saraswati, in his Satyartha Prakash , while describing how the Charvakas rejected the Vedas, wrote: "If Vedic knowledge is absent, ignorance will spread." Shall we accept that? Similarly, the Ch...
