Bhagwat Gita - Neither Book of Religion nor a
Treatise of Philosophy but a Defence of Dogmas of (a)Dharma-Varna & War.
Any religious literature if it propagates "discrimination" and 'unjust' war & killings tantamounts to the violation of
Human Rights of Humanbeings of "Modern World" and is a challenge to 'free social order' based on Equality-
Liberty-Fraternity and Justice. Neither the Democratic Constitutional Laws nor International Law can admit such
inhumane & insane beliefs.
The recent controversy and hue & cry raised by some politicians against a proposed trial arguing to ban
'Gita As It Is', translated by founder of Iskon, A.C. Baktivedant in the Tomsk Court of Siberia (Russia); the BJP
leader Sushma demanding to declare 'Gita' as a 'National Book' is nothing but 'intellectual & moral' bankruptcy and
dishonesty of the so called brahmin pleaders. The same can be said of our Yadava leaders who seem to be still
suffering from 'mental slavery' and subscribing to the varna theory of Gita that is nothing but a scheme of
dharmashatra books and justifies varna & caste. By upholding Gita as a sacred text, the Yadavas would be
upholding not only the theory of varna & caste but accepting themselves as 'shudras' who were insulted &
degraded by the brahmanical religious scheme under 'varnadharmashrama' socio-religious order.
Though the Tomsk court has rejected the plea to ban 'Gita' and include it in the Russian Federal List of
Extremist Materials which bans more than 1,0000 texts including Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf and books distributed by
Jehovah's witness and scientology movements this article becomes mere significant to counter such anti-human,
anti moral, unjust and casteist [racial] doctrines.
Let us see what Dr. B. R. Ambedkar the most learned scholar on comparative religion has to say on this.
