BANGALORE: The Congress is the original Brahminical party of India and not the RSS or BJP. The last two are the children of the Congress which is the mother of all evils and the cause of all our troubles, The following passage ‘This Day That Age,” is reproduced from the Hindu, the Mount Road Mahavishnu, the country’s chief Brahminical daily and the greatest supporter of the Congress. The quotation is taken from the Hindu issues published 50 years ago in which Periyar EVR, one of the greatest leader of India, calls the bluff of Congress. What he then said is even more true today:
MADRAS: Congress claims are “moonshine and bluff,” says EVR. Support in India for the stand of the British diehards that the Indian National Congress was not representative of the wishes and desires of the whole of India came not only from Jinnah and his Muslim League. Joining the ranks of the detractors, E.V. Ramaswami Naicker, an erstwhile member of the Congress but powerful stalwart later of the Justice Party of Madras, said: While the total population of India is about 400 millions, we have in it 90 million Muslims, 60 million Scheduled Class people, 40 million Dravidians and Sikhs, and about 10 million Indian Christians, These classes have their own self-supporting political parties, They do not accept the regality of the Congress and are quite alien to the creed and constitution of the Congress. Besides the Pakistanis, we have other partners in India such as the 500 Indian States who can claim about one-third of India both in population and in extent, and who neither recognize the Congress nor will allow it to poke its nose into their affairs. The Congress is thus placed in a narrow sphere, and for it to claim on that basis that it has an all-India representative character is mere moonshine and bluff. I want to emphasis that the British Government should therefore act with foresight and true vision. If it bows down to the overtures of the Congress, it will lead the people of India, and particularly of Madras, into wanton trouble, chaos, and catastrophe.”
