Social Analysis- The Eye Opener! --- Part 1

An Unexamined Life Is Not Worth Living – Socrates

I know this is a bit of an out-of-the-way blog, but I am putting forward a social analysis of India today — because this is an alarming time, and we must decide what’s really happening around us.

Yes, this blog is a bit serious. I’m so sorry — but I need you all to read this very carefully.
This is Part 1 — the next will come soon.
Brace yourself. You might be shocked. But that too… we shall analyse.

We are talking about Social Analysis: Because we’re hoping for transformation.
Because we need change in the midst of inequality and disparity.
Because we have to understand where disparities begin,
and how steeled we are against them.

We need to assess and evaluate what’s happening with us, to us, around us.

And so, we are going to talk about education, economics, politics, religion, family, caste, and gender.
All these seem good when we look around — but appearances cannot always be believed.

India has always been called a land of opportunities. Unity in diversity, they say.
But if you see the records, nearly 75% of people in India are struggling, while only 15% are ruling this country.
And who are these 15%? You know them very clearly — don’t pretend you don’t.

There have been endless struggles:

• of minorities,
• of OBCs,
• of Dalits and Adivasis,
• and of course, through economic oppression.

Most of it based on caste and religion.
And now you ask, what is happening in India suddenly?

Yes, we followed patriarchy before — but it was never this alarming.
There was a time when Hindus and Muslims were together, Christians and Muslims were together…
Now? Not even eye contact.

Who spoiled the minds of the people?

Let me tell you:
It all changed after the aggressive assertion of the false ideologies.

Now, tribals are attacked for being Christians — “You won’t get reservations,” they say.

And the primary attack is not just on Muslims or Christians or Dalits —
it is a direct attack on the Constitution.
The goal is to rewrite Indian society altogether.

Women are seen as Commodities, Not Humans
Look at how society treats them — their colour, size, features — as if they’re products on display. The Government conveniently uses the police as cover for their own crimes.
What about custodial deaths?
What about where gang rapes have taken place?

In Karnataka’s Kirmani, protesting farmers were bonded and killed by landlords,
and the court supported the wrong side —
This happened on December 25.

About 80% of women experience sexual assault within their own households.
We’ve made a sexist society.
Sorry to say — maybe even I am part of this collective sin.

India holds the highest number of minor abuse cases.
Dalit and tribal women are the most oppressed.
There’s domestic violence, IT sector deaths, abused domestic labourers,
and the ever-present intimate partner violence.
Some of it is so dark, I can’t even type it here.

Men understand the emotional baggage of women and attack them exactly there.

In rural Gujarat, five villages in Kheda district suffered deeply.
Tamil Nadu had peak child marriage cases during COVID-19.
Acid attacks are still a thing.
Haryana has the lowest sex ratio — despite wealth — they now have to go search for brides.

And let’s not forget the causes:

• Patriarchal concepts
• Dowry system
• Pride and purse
• Women treated as burdens
• Son-preference syndrome
• Status-symbol logic

In tribal and Dalit communities, girls are often called "mother," "land," and "soil."
There’s a sense of respect.

Once, in Nashik, the writer Uttam Kamble told me,
“You Christians always need someone else to fight your battles — someone else has to give their life for you.”

I had no answer.
Because I was convinced by his reply.

Sure, some of my companions said even boys go through abuse —
One gave the example of a boy raped by girls in South Africa.
I… still have no answer.

Maybe history has it.

The problem began with the Vedic civilization.
India became multiethnic when Indo-Aryans (Proto-Australoids) arrived.
Before that, it was Dravidian land.
They worshipped the Snake God — hence names like Nagpur and Nagaland.

They had different food, color, and cultures.
So when someone says “I’m from a pure race” — I’m sorry — pure bullshit.

There is no pure race in India today.

From Indo-Mongolians in the northeast, to Dravidians in the south,
to Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Sikhism —
We are one big mess of beauty and contradiction.

But now the country is run by Adanis and Ambanis.
There are 18 official languages and 1000+ unofficial ones,
yet we impose a tri-language formula.
States like Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala are refusing.

Even Shiv Sena joined hands with MNS to oppose Hindi domination.
People are fighting not just for language — they’re fighting to keep identity alive.

Remember the Arjun Tendulkar Commission?

They said:
“Anyone who earns 1 dollar a day is above the poverty line.”

Wow. Lower the bar so nobody looks poor.
Manmohan Singh objected. Thank God.

Rural, urban, tribal — got some recognition at last.
We must learn to see diversity as difference, not as hierarchy.

Caste is India’s ancient curse.
Okay fine — maybe Azim Premji escaped it by working hard and making is own genuine business.

But most Dalits, Tribals, and Minorities are still poor.

Even with OBCs, SCs, STs forming 49% of India,
we give 10% reservation to Backward classes?

Why?

Indian bureaucracy is still dominated by fundamentalist Brahmins, especially Tamils.
Even IIT deans, MPs — all belong to the same elite group.

BJP can never win elections alone —
so they’re controlling institutions instead.

Dalits are crushed under this weight.
It’s a pile of sacks, with Brahmins on top, and Dalits suffocating at the bottom.

Ironically, now it’s Aryans vs Aryans,
with everything controlled by Baniyas, Adanis, Ambanis.

When we enter the New Education Policy (NEP) —
Now, at every step, there’s an entrance exam.

Who clears it? Students with privilege.
Because they have resources, coaching, and backing.

Meanwhile, marginalized students are left behind.
Caste should never enter education —
Only one thing should: Humanitarian religion.

Aryans came to India and introduced the varna system.
Locals who disagreed were termed Shudras, or worse, Untouchables.
They came with horses, took local women — only physical differences, not cultural superiority.

Then they divided society into:

• Brahmins,
• Kshatriyas,
• Vaishyas.

Women had no caste.
That’s when karma theory began.
Even female worship began, but with a fertility cult mindset.

They said Aryans were white — yet they worship Rama, who was black?

Dravidian gods were taken. Aryans stole even their deities.

When Buddha objected to Ashvamedha (horse sacrifice),
King Bimbisara chased him out.

Cows were sacred for Dravidians — used for agriculture.
They even ate them when old. Aryans, who were once non-vegetarian, flipped the script.

Eventually came Dharma theory, Ashrama system, Kula Dharma —
Welcome to Aryanism.

Religion, Census & Identity

Before Aryans, the religion was Buddhism.
Tamil was the Asiatic language.

Hinduism rose due to racial superiority.
This land belongs to Dravidians.

In 1981, during the Census, the question arose:
Who is a Hindu?

Answer:
Not a Christian, not a Muslim, not a Jain, not a Parsi, not a Sikh.
Basically — the leftover category.

When people refused this label, tribal and untouchability issues exploded.

If in doubt — check the stats.

We have become slaves in our own land.
And we must raise our voice.
Because the next generation will be us.

Many of the things I’ve shared come from anonymous sources — I cannot reveal names due to security issues.
But the least I can do is make you aware.

This is just a philosophical and contextual truth,
a serious one. I am not saying to believe everything that I write but to question everything that is written. Philosophy is all about questioning and even questioning the answers.
