At the launch of a book store by ‘May 17 Movement’ Thirumurugan Gandhi’, VCK Chief Thirumavalavan said that unlike Islam and Christianity, Hinduism is the only religion that is against brotherhood and has the worst social structure in the world.
Speaking at the event, the Lok Sabha MP said,”we oppose Sanatanis because they take the society in a regressive direction. Periyar, Marx, and Ambedkar advocated living in a progressive way while keeping scientific temper in mind.”
He added,”Democracy, like Einstein’s theory of relativity or Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution, is an invention. We would not be talking in this stage if democracy did not exist. If there was no democracy, they would not have let us touch the mic, establish organizations or raise our opinion. It is because of the invention of democracy, we talk about freedom of expression, minority rights or women education.”
He went on to say that they are opposed to both fascism and Sanathana Dharma because both are anti-brotherhood, and that Sanathana Dharma never accepts brotherhood at all.
Thirumavalavan further said,”There is no such thing as brotherhood in our society. We’re referring as brothers and sisters because of politics. All of those are phony relationships. We shake hands and call each other as brothers for the sake of votes. There are people in our society who ask ‘how dare you call me your brother, what is your caste and my caste?’. We cannot call everyone as our brother. We’ve to call them (so-called upper castes) as ‘Ayya’ or we’ve to call by their caste names like ‘Ayyar, Naidu, Thevar, Chettiyar’. We can’t call them as brothers. A society where one can’t even call each other as brothers. If there exists a worst society where there is no brotherhood, it is the Indian Hindu societal structure.”
“Outside India, everyone refer to people as brothers and sisters. They have a sense of fraternity and brotherhood-sisterhood. They do not talk about this, but want us to talk about Christianity and Islam. Brotherhood exists in Christianity and Islam, while Hinduism is the only religion that is anti-brotherhood. The Hindu religion has the worst social structure,” he mentioned.
Hinduism is the only worst religion in the world which forbids calling everyone as brothers and sisters.
He said,”It is because of vote politics, they (upper caste) enter slums. No one will enter the slums if there is no vote politics. They are doing it out of compulsion.”
He further said,”Ayothidaasa Pandithar mentioned Dravidam before Periyar. He founded the Dravida Mahajana Sabha. Even before Periyar, Rettamalai Sreenivasan founded the Aadi-Dravida Mahajana Sabha. However, we can no longer find any books written by them. Only Thirumurugan Gandhi is publishing both of their books in his ‘Thisai’ store.”
He also stated that it is ironic to see non-Brahmin Tamils in general are protesting in favour of 10% quota for the Economically Weaker Section (EWS).
