The record of Christianity on feminism is woefully poor. The Doppelgänger of Semitic religions, Marxism also bears the patriarchal mindset of the west. Many feminists of Marxist ideology fail to react and protest against the atrocities on women and children by their compatriots. The unheard cries of girls and women molested by ‘revolutionaries’ in Indian jungles, the suppressed voices of common women in Kerala for the fear of character assassination by comrades, the list of victims of leftist misogyny in India is long. If we listen to the talks of ‘civilized and modern’ public of the west, we see a population that looks at women merely as sex objects.
On the contrary, Hindu civilization adores & respects womanhood by portraying her as the center of Power Shakti. one significant quality that differentiates Hindu civilization from Semites is this recognition of the forms of god as feminine. Since the spread of Semitic culture was via conquest of patriarchist over nature-based traditions that worshiped the divine as feminine, it is quite natural for them to attempt to demean the female form of divinity to extend their influence in the Hindu society. Hindus take pride in women armed to fight. Originally, the status of Women in Hindu Civilization wasn’t the ‘battered stature’ provided by West and their minions, though centuries of foreign invasions, wars and the Victorian moral code have essentially corrupted the attitude of a Hindu regarding a woman. The white man’s burden to ‘civilize’ the brown heathen stands no chance before the Shakteya tradition which sees every woman as mother. They had been trying to bring up ‘evidences’ to paint Hindu society as anti-women. ‘Rape’ propaganda and Right to worship theatrics can be assumed as part of the greater design for ‘rescuing’ the Indian ‘damsels in distress’ by a modern, ‘civilized society’.
Recently, the leftist’ hatred for the female divine became public discussion when minister Smriti Irani read out a pamphlet distributed among the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University. It contained the “re-interpretation” of the Durga Puja story, reprinted by an evangelist Christian magazine, Forward Press which was first published in an obscure magazine named “Yadav-Shakti”. The story goes as follows.
“Durga Puja” is the most controversial racial festival, where a fair skinned beautiful goddess Durga is depicted brutally killing a dark-skinned native called Mahishasura.
Mahishasura, a brave self-respecting leader, tricked into marriage by Aryans. They hired a sex worker called Durga, who enticed Mahishasura into marriage and killed him after nine nights of honeymooning, during sleep” (1)(2)
The Hindu worldview is that all differences are temporal, not spiritual. But to the Semitic culture, the heathen or Kafirs should go to hell. One could enter the heaven only by adopting Semitic culture. Therefore, the Leftists cook stories to portray Ravana and Mahishasur as Dalits killed by Aryans Ram & Durga. “Dalit” term was invented in 20th century by the same people with their American masters. For long these people who are called as Dalits are being injected with contorted interpretations of our culture. Hope one day they will understand that they are being used.
Ravana was a Brahmin’s son. Unlike Semitic construct of Good and evil painted in binaries of Black or white, Hindu stories show good as well as bad shades of each character. Ravana was egoistic and weak about women, not a bad ruler. Asura is not a demon. Even Vedic deities Indra, Varuna, Mitra etc were described as Asuric in Rigveda. The term ‘Asura’ was an adjective for Titanic force, magnificent strength. We worship them. A Demon is a tool for religions that use fear for submission. Dharmic path has no place for fear. Fierce is beautiful in the eyes of a Hindu. Thus, it is better if Semites stay away from analyzing grey as black or white.
So the problem here isn’t worshiping Mahishasura or Ravana, a Hindu has the freedom to worship anyone and anything he like, the concern here is insulting Goddess Durga to create hatred among Indians. Mahabali worship does not include abusing Vamana! In fact, thiruOnam is Vamana jayanti. Durga killed Mahishasura for his arrogance not for being an Asura. Mahabali was anointed as Lord of Sutala by Mahavishnu’s Vamana avatara. Like his grandfather Prahlada, Mahabali also was an ardent devotee of Vishnu. Bali is scheduled to be the future Indra during Savarni Manu's era. He is not a bad guy. By being kind to the request of a Brahmin boy, through his selfless sacrifice, King Bali, an Asura attained supreme protection of Mahavishnu. Semitic mind of leftist Journalists and intellectuals cannot grasp the pluralistic ethos of Hindu dharma. Their world has only the good-bad binary. I remember, a few months ago, an SFI run college magazine in Kerala had portrayed Bharatmata in a very bad light.
“A reading that challenges the dominant reading.” is known as Alternative reading. Since Leftism thrives by stimulating the rebellious tendencies of a person, they are in constant need for an enemy which they have to confront and destroy and a victim whose martyrdom has to be avenged. A striking similarity can be seen in this aspect of communists and basic concepts of Semitic religions. Hence, they peddle cooked up stories as ‘alternative readings’ to arouse the rebel in every ‘oppressed’ so that hatred can polarize the society and instigate Hindus into fights.
Hinduphobes with Abrahamic roots cannot live with the idea that Hindus pray to Durga a Female Goddess. This nonsense against Durga worship stems from Abrahamic hatred of the female form. Divinity can’t ever have a female form according to the patriarchal west. Smriti Irani exposed the ugliness of this agenda. One truth which is being revealed day by day is that the Indian Left are Stormtroopers for ‘agendas’.
