The Manusmriti, the social doctrine of yore, and the Bhagvad-Gita, the spiritual tome in vogue that lay down the discriminatory dharma (duties) of the four social classes (castes) have been the bugbears of the Hindu backward classes. However, to their chagrin, of late, as the latter is being mindlessly promoted even though the former was constitutionally debunked, they began advocating that it too should be dumped in a dustbin. Ironically, the improbability of their progenitor Krishna, the architect of the Gita, relegating his own ilk to the social margins failed to dawn upon these that Gita supposedly slights, even to this day! Thus, their intellectuals, instead of seeking to reclaim their priceless heritage, albeit after ridding its interpolative garbage, tend to rubbish it a la throwing the baby with the bathwater, and needless to say they must ponder. Also, it is high time that the Gita-class stop laying store by the self-aggrandizing verses in this Vyāsa’s classic, evidently inserted by their progenitors that came to bedevil the Hindu spiritual integrity and social harmony. Likewise, the grumblers of the dalit desertions must see the need for setting the Hindu house in order to prevent the fractious poaching by the Church, if not to facilitate the ‘hoped for’ return of the prodigals. So also those who take pride that Hinduism is the only religion that reckons all faith as true, should be concerned about the ‘in vogue’ Gita that belittles some of their caste fellows. Besides, this work beckons the feminists to reckon the second of the two interpolations from it cited in the cover image that degrades them in unspeakable terms. This ‘overdue’ work, may lead the ‘denied’ Hindu castes as well as the favored folks for an objective approach to the in vogue Bhagvad-Gita which could dispel the misgivings of the former and the delusions of the latter, thereby bridging the Hindu emotional gulf with its abridged book that restores its original form. Whether or not one concurs with its propositions, this original work could be of interest to the students of logic and reasoning as well. [more]

When I thought I am done with the study of interpolations in the Gita after my critique, Inane Interpolations in Bhagvad-Gita (An Invocation for their Revocation) I was tempted to turn my attention to the seldom read but much maligned Manu Smriti*. While I found that that testament is Incongruent and its motivated castigation is nothing but flogging a dead horse riding a blind donkey (an eponymous essay is due on this aspect), nevertheless, I could discern Manu’s shadow on the Gita’s path that is sought to be placed here for a public view.

"On the banks of the Godavery there stood a large silk-cotton-tree, and thither at night, from all quarters and regions, the birds came to roost. Now once, when the night was just spent, and his Radiance the Moon, Lover of the white lotus, was about to retire behind the western hills, a Crow who perched there, 'Light o' Leap' by name, upon awakening, saw to his great wonder a fowler approaching--a second God of Death.

Im letzten Moment fliehen sie. Dann brennt ihr Dorf. Es geschieht, was der Hindu plant. Christen werden verprügelt, Kirchen brennen. Indien den Indern. Nationale und religiöse Interessen vermischen sich. Dann werden Tote gefunden, brutal ermordet. Inspektor Chidambaram und sein smarter Sekretär Babu ermitteln im Stammesgebiet entlang der Godavari. Überraschend schließt sich ihnen Kumari an, eine couragierte Christin und ehemalige Verlobte des Inspektors. Der Fall scheint zunächst klar - es geht um religiösen Fanatismus. Ein schillernder Swami heizt die Stimmung gegen Christen an, unterstützt von einem Journalisten. Dann detoniert ein Sprengsatz. Die Lage eskaliert. Was mit der Verfolgung religiöser Minderheiten beginnt, entpuppt sich als brisanter Politkrimi. Leserinnen und Leser dieses Kriminalromans werden nicht nur spannend unterhalten, sondern begegnen der zugleich faszinierenden wie fremden Welt Südindiens. Der Autor hat reale und aktuelle Themen des indischen Subkontinents aufgenommen: Religiöse Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Hindus und Christen, Bedrohung der Lebensräume von Ureinwohnern, Korruption und Vetternwirtschaft, Indien zwischen Tradition und Moderne. Was Sie hier lesen, ist ähnlich bereits geschehen und kann es jederzeit wieder. Nicht nur in Indien. [more]
