Thirumavalavan, the chief of the Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi and a Lok Sabha MP, has once again spewed venom on Hinduism while speaking at a Christian book launch event.
VCK chief Thirumavalavan released a book by Nandini Krishnan named “Uthirntha Kavithaigal” which is a compilation of poems written by late pastor John Suresh. While speaking at the event, VCK chief Thirumavalavan said, “Sanatana Dharma has been opposed in this land (Tamil Nadu) for more than a thousand years. 10 years ago, for an advertisement, I said ‘Adhi Bhagavan’ Buddha is the first anti-Sanatana Dharma fighter. The word ‘Aadhi Bhagavan’ used by Thiruvalluvar denotes Gautama Buddha.”
He further said, “The Buddha movement is an anti-Sanatana Dharma movement. He is not a spiritual leader. He is not a religious leader. He is anti-Sanatana Dharma fighter. This was confirmed by Ambedkar. The preamble of our constitution written by Ambedkar shows that Ambedkar is anti-Sanatana Dharma.”
He continued, “Ambedkar’s mention of liberty, equality, and fraternity in our constitution’s preamble demonstrate that he is anti-Sanatana Dharma. They (Hindus) insulted Ambedkar when he used the words liberty, equality, and fraternity in the preamble. They charged Ambedkar with plagiarising those words from the French Revolution. However, Ambedkar told his detractors that he borrowed those words from Gautama Buddha, not the French Revolution.”
Thiruma said, “Buddha wanted to spread liberty, equality, and fraternity because India did not have these qualities. It is because this land (India) was plagued with Sanatana Dharma, it did not have liberty, equality, and fraternity. Sanatana Dharma is entirely based on discrimination, and Manu is the one who turned that discrimination into law. Discrimination is the basis for both Sanatana Dharman and Manusmriti. It was Gautama Buddha who fought this discrimination by Manu and Sanatana Dharma without resorting to violence or armed rebellion.”
He stated, “When Ambedkar wrote our constitution, he wanted it to be diametrically opposite to Sanatana Dharma. Though our constitution is against Sanatana Dharma, it still exists on the ground. That is why we still have ‘Agraharams’ (places where Brahmins live in groups) and slums. That is why there are still honor killings and separate crematoriums for different castes. Still, Sanatana Dharma and Manusmriti reign supreme across all platforms. This demonstrates that our constitution is only partially in force and is not fully enforced.”
He went on to say, “Women and Dalits are unable to shine in politics because of Sanatana Dharma. Dalits cannot gain clout in any large non-caste party. In large parties, we can’t even become union secretaries. This is the reality. Women hold prominent positions in VCK, including district secretary, state secretary, and others. However, we never see women or Dalits in prominent positions in large political parties. This discrimination is also due to the prevalence of Sanatana Dharma in our society.”
He stated that while Dalits, women, and tribals can become President or Governors in this country, they will never be Prime Ministers or members of the RSS in positions of influence.
“Though there is a special marriage act and a Hindu marriage act, they are designed in such a way that they do not affect the caste structure in this society. However, there is no discrimination in Christianity and Islam, unlike Hinduism.” he said.
“Manusmriti is what motivates caste fanatics to kill brides and grooms who marry outside their caste. The only way to combat the discrimination promoted by Sanatana Dharma and Manusmriti is to implement our constitution to at least 50% of its full extent.”, Thirumavalavan further added.
He further said, “It is Manusmriti which is preventing widow remarriage. The only way to address this issue is to put our constitution into action. Because Dalits number more than 30 crores, they (Sanatanis) act as if they are nice to Dalits. It is their strategy to become hostile to us Dalits.”
Dalits and Tribals together constitute 35 crores of our population. They look cordial to Dalits and Tribals because they are afraid we will convert to another religion. It is their strategy to celebrate Ambedkar in order to stop conversion among Dalits.
He continued, “Conversion to Islam and Christianity is highest among Dalits and Tribals, compared to all other communities. They (Sanatanis) wanted to stop this. Hence, they appear cordial to us. We should not be deceived by their strategy to stop conversion.”
