Heirs of ‘Kotse’; Tamil Nadu Chief Minister warns
Let’s say that Godse’s heirs have no place in Indian soil – says Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s statement on Death Anniversay of Gandhi is very important in today’s context. The DMK Party Chief has appealed to their Partymen for exposing the BJP’s degenerate politics of sowing sectarianism in Tamil soil matured by social justice.
Pragya Singh, a BJP MP from Bhopal, who spoke in Parliament as Godse national devotee and enjoyed being shot with a effigy like Gandhi on his Memorial Day earlier, went viral on social networking sites. Last Jan 30th, an organization called ‘Hindu Mahasabha’ in Gwalior, Rajasthan, had paid floral tributes to the protraits of ‘Kotse – Narayanan Apte’, who was hanged in connection with the assassination of Gandhi, was published in the ‘Hindu’ English daily dt Jan. 31, 2022. Four people, including Kalicharan Maharaj, have been arrested in Chhattisgarh for allegedly insulting Gandhi during a ‘Dharmsansad’ event organized by ‘Veda’ religious terrorists last December. In the same article published by The Hindu newspaper, the Hindu Mahasabha has honored the terrorist Kalicharan with the ‘Kotse – Apte Bharat Ratna’ award. So, Godse’s heirs are obviously running in broad daylight
The accused in Gandhi’s assassination, including Kotse, were Marathai Beshwa Parpaans (Brahmins). The strongest evidence of this is Kotse’s confession in court on November 8, 1948, a representative of the tyrannical paradigm of Kotse ‘Vedic religion’. “This act of mine is based entirely on Hinduism and the Bhagavad Gita. Our country will be called Hindustan, ”he recorded.
“Killing to save Dharma is not a sin; Kshatriya Dharma itself by nature, is killing, ”says Lord Krishna, who preached to Arjuna during the Bharat War in the Bhagavad Gita. Whichever Bhagavad Gita Gandhi praised, it was its murderous philosophy that took Gandhi’s life. Godse’s heirs are now inciting sectarianism and seeking to run a corrupt state and overthrow the people’s problems
The BJP is politicizing the fantasy that forced conversion is taking place in Tamil Nadu. That is what the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is pointing out. It is true that there are a large number of religious-god believers in Tamil Nadu. These beliefs are paralyzed within the narrow circle of ‘habit-ritual-identity’. They do not leave any problem that God will take care of. Rational thinking is infiltrated by God-religious believers, so religious riots do not take place here like in the North. God – There is no demolition of Babri Masjid or demolition of temples in Tamil Nadu where anti-religious propaganda is going on. The people of Tamil Nadu are not ready to sacrifice ‘social justice’ and ‘right to life’ for Hindu Dharma. That is why the BJP cant extend here and stuck.
In this context, all progressive movements have a major responsibility and obligation to thwart the intensification of efforts to sow the seeds of religious persecution. We need to add to the notion that solutions to people’s problems are not contained in religion or religious identities. The government has a duty to reform the Hindu temple sector or to better maintain the temple. We do not deny it. But the DMK also has a duty to advance the policies of the Dravidian movement to ahead. We would like to point out with concern that its leading leaders, especially those in the party legislature, should be nurtured with at least basic Dravidian principles. It’s just that you can’t expect it from all million members. But leading spokesperson are the ones who can argue on behalf of the party on television and other vaious social platforms who spread ideas of Dravidian Policy should at least avoid pagan identities? Many are expressing that they are not ready to cut themselves off from the ‘glittering’ religious symbols on the forehead, arms and neck.
‘It is wrong to politicize religion; One could even argue that ‘religious beliefs are not wrong’. But shouldn’t the prominent leading leaders think that the source of sectarian politics starts with religion? Left-wing political leaders in the electoral arena in Tamil Nadu are not at all wearing religious identities!
The Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu is boldly pushing for many changes in the party and the government. Therefore, our demand is that the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu should emphasize to the leading leaders in his party the idea that religious identities can be avoided. Policy symbols are the greatest weapon in the face of the degenerate politics of religion in Tamil Nadu. This is the lesson that leaders including Periyar-Anna-Kalaingar have left us!
