Both politics and religion being weapons for controlling the masses, there had been perennial rivalry between the rulers and the priests the world over, including the tribal societies of Africa. European medieval history shows the conflict of egos between the Pope and the Kings. Recent Iranian history would show the conflict between King and the religious fundamentalist leader Ayatollah Khomeini. India too is no exception. Hinduism had all along been used by the clergy to keep the rulers under their coercive control. By arrogating priesthood only for themselves, the clergy became the first in the world to have invented and perpetuated abject apartheid. Priestcraft was effectively used by them not only to have effective control over temporal affairs but also to acquire riches. Their standard of living was, therefore, the highest. Now, bureacracy hasalso been completely appropriated by them. The Hindu clergy never had it so good either during the ancient monarchy , or during the Islamic rule or during the British rule because they were, then, only in the second or third line of power-centres. Now, they are everything. Real rulers of all fields from all angles.

Abbe J.A.Dubois, a saint who arrived in India in the year 1792 at the age of 27 and remained in India for 30 long years and left India on 15.1.1823 had traveled throughout India and especially Tamil Nadu and wrote the famous book "Hindu manners, customs and ceremonies". Max Mueller, who is praised sky-high by our Brahmins who appropriated him and highlight his services for Sanskrit, has said the said book is "containing the views of an eyewitness, of a man singularly free from prejudice"The following details have been taken from Pages 88 to 91 of the 1953 Reprint of the said book published by the Oxford Press. These were his observations on the standard of living of the people after studying the south Indian society for such a long time. This information would show how religion helped a particular section of the people to promote their material benefits in the guise of religion.

In India, it is not politicians but bureaucrats who really weild enormous power in running the nation. Bureacracy is therefore the most important powercentre in India, more powerful, in practice, than the legislature and the judiciary. The following table would show how, because of the absence of reservation in the higher rungs of services, one section is able to appropriate the government and monopolise the governance. The information pertains to the year 1992.

Serial No.	Office	Cadre	No.of posts	No.of Brahmins occupying these posts	Percentage of Brahmins
1	President's Office	Class I	49	45	91%

During the Brahmins conference held on 19.1.86, Mr. C.M.Sundaram, an important Brahmins Association leader of Kerala and the then Home Minister of Kerala had said, "Whether it was during the rule of the Moghuls or the British rule, the power was only in our hands. Although we were not ruling the nation, we had the power to conduct the rulers". That provides confirmation from horse's mouth."Whoever comes and goes in Delhi, it is the Brahmins of the South Block who call the shots", the Sri Lankan newspaper, the government-controlled English eveninger, The Observer,commented. (The hindu 7.3.1998)

Gokhale linked 'bureaucracy' with 'self-respect'
Dear friends,
There is no reservation at all in class I services even now, but Gokhale wanted reservations in the top class administrative posts for the Brahmins in the British era itself. They started fighting against the British when their interests were threatened. The congress party itself was started only for that purpose.The "immediate occasion for its birth was the alteration of the rules applicable to candidates for the ICS to the detriment of Indian candidates" (Page-7)-The Republic of India, the British Commonwealth-The Development of its laws and Constitution- Alan Gledhill.

Gokhale made a spirited plea before the Royal Commission on Indian Expenditure for more percentage of Indians in ICS. He did not ask for reduction of expenditure but for more share of Indians. He had pointed out in answer No. 18331, that there were 2388 officials in Indian Civil Service drawing annual salaries of Rs.10000 and upwards and said that out of them only 60 were Indians. (Ref: A Birds eye view of India's past as the foundation for India's future-Annie Besant- Theosophical Publishing House-Fourth Edition - 1930. "The excessive costliness of the foreign agency is not, however, its only evil. There is a moral evil, which, if anything, is even greater. A kind of dwarfing or stunting of the Indian race is going on under the present system. We must live all the days of our life in an atmosphere of inferiority and the tallest of us must bend in order that the exigencies of the existing system may be satisfied", pleaded Gokhale. (Page 57&58-ibid.). But what Gokhale alleged that the British were doing against Indians is logically and factually applicable to what is being done by the Brahmins to Shudras now. That is why even Mr. K. R. Narayanan, the tallest of us has to bend in order to that the exigencies of the existing system may be satisfied. That was why they pounced upon him when he recently said that there must be reservation in private sector also. That is why his speeches are vigourously censored out by their national newspaper the Hindu and others. They occupy so much posts in Class I not by merit my dear 'Sudras', but through conspiracy. .

Fundamental Principles
They have now invented and are enforcing with vigour their new concept "the Fundamental Principle". You have heard of "Fundamental Rights" and "Fundamental Duties". But, this fundamental principle is to ensure that the SCs and STs do not occupy more than 15% and 7.5% respectively in the government posts from the cadre of Peons to that of the lowest rung of Class I officers. More on this, if they do not attempt to coerce the webmaster to delete this thread
