AMBEDKAR'S PHILOSOPHY OF HINDUISM AND CONTEMPORARY CRITIQUES PROF. M. M. NINAN polity. They even called Sawarkar a ‘Hindu Jinnah’, thereby exposing their evil design. These so called secular politicians who have ensured that Hindus remain divided among caste so that they can thrive on their respective votebanks, are the same people who invoke Ambedkar to discredit Hinduism, at the same time, cunningly hiding, what he had to say about Islam. And it is precisely where the periphery of the coin lies. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 127
AMBEDKAR'S PHILOSOPHY OF HINDUISM AND CONTEMPORARY CRITIQUES PROF. M. M. NINAN II RAJEEV http:// rajeev2007.wordpress.com/2007/05/04/in-defense-of-caste/ Rajeev Srinivasan is an Indian intellectual. He is a native speaker of Malayalam the language of the Indian state of Kerela. T.P. Sreenivasan describes him as a popular commentator, and discusses his work in rediff.com, where he is a columnist. " Nothing wrong with caste Birth and berth — Rajeev Srinivasan | Public affairs commentator It has become a conditioned, Pavlovian reflex for Indians to condemn the entire idea of caste unthinkingly. It has become a cliché to rail against caste, but jati and varnam are just a codification of the fact that all humans are not born equal in their endowments: Some are tall, some are fat, some are musically talented, and so on. We cannot escape the ruthless Bell Curve. The very term ‘caste’ is not proper, because it is a European Christian distortion of the ideas of jati and varnam, which the colonialists condemned out of ignorance and prejudice. Yet, given the widespread notions about caste, I am forced to use the term. What is deplorable is not caste per se, but casteism, or discrimination based on caste. This is similar to the rightly abhorred discrimination based on other inescapable biological facts: Race, gender, or age. Casteism must be condemned in the strongest possible terms, but that does not mean caste has to be thrown out, baby with bathwater. Caste is a convenient organising principle. Being social animals, humans need to belong to groups. There is a tendency to manufacture in-group/out-group differences and mythologies. However, if groups are roughly equal, we end up with collective bargaining where a group member has a better chance than an unattached individual. This is the reality in India today: Caste as trade union, attempting to grab more than its fair share of the fairly small pie. 128
