Series of Novels attempting research on 'Origin of Casteism in India and Hinduism'
THE HORNED GOD Chronicles: Skull Bearer The Aryan invasion of Indian subcontinent
has remained a point of discussion since discovery of Indus Valley civilization
which shows that civilized life existed there in Pre-Vedic age.
The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization (3300-1300 BCE; mature period 2600-1900 BCE)
The sites of Harrappa, Mohenjodaro, Lothal and various others that are spread over the area of around 1,260,000 km², became an eyesore for Indian Castist as even the Vedas mention Indra as 'Purandara' (Destroyer of the forts). It meant that it was not the Aryans who came to the area and brought civilzation to the area.
Rather the tide turned against them as it showed that ARYANS were migrant tribesmen who had moved to a much civilized areas. These Aryans slowly increased in number, so by the end of 2500 B.C. many of them reached higher and more powerful positions and decided to take over the control altogether(Not much different from what Hitler claimed to be doing). To make sure that no native could rise up again, an Aryan saint Manu wrote 'Manu-Smriti' in which he decided to divide the society into 4 Varnas: Brahmin(The Learned), Kshatriyas(The Warriors), Vaishyas(The Traders) and Shudras(The slaves). Shudras had no rights, couldn't study and the harshest of the punishments were chosen to deal with them if they disobeyed as it was told to be the law of God himself
This was because 'Manu-Smriti' said: Brahmins are born from the mind of the omnipotent God, Kshatriyas from the torso, Vaishyas from the thighs and Shudra from the omnipotent's feet. This was seen as a Godly sanction of this system.
There were even more classes than this namely- 1. Criminal Tribes(Around 20 million) 2. Aborriginal Tribes(Around 15 million) 3. The Untouchables(Around 50 million).
These were not included in the varna system and even their touch(including that of Shudra) was considered to pollute.
The Hindu civilization, in light of these products, could hardly be called Civilization. As Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the only leader among the Broken people to speak out against the law and also famous for writing the Constitution of India(Chosen as he had broken the norms and was more learned and fit than any, and also in a hope to pacify lower castes) has written in his worrk 'The Untouchables', first published in 1948: "The proper name for Hindu Civilization will be Infamy. What else can be said of a civilization which has produced a mass of people who are taught to accept crime as an approved means of earning livelyhoood, another mass of people who are left to live in full bloom of their primitive barbarism in the midst of the civilization and a third mass who are treated as an entity beyond human intercourse and whose mere rouch is enough to cause pollution."
He continues, "In any other country the existence of these classes would have led to searching of the heart and to investigation of their origin. But neither of these has occurred as the Hindu does not regard the existence of these classes as a matter of apology or shame. They are rather taught to be proud of it."
The book THE HORNED GOD Chronicles: Skull Bearer is the first book in the series which aims to look into the ways and reasons of this Infamy and to find a solution to it, if it has the bleakest chance of solving it.
