My Thoughts on the Janus Faced or
Brown-skinned, White-masked LGBTQNATION article on the Indian Caste System and
Untouchable Caste Transgender Woman -Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla
I would like to
write my review on the piece of LGBTQNATION publication "Does an Indian
transgender person’s caste change their experience of being trans?" on
Tuesday, June 7, 2022, by Sayantan Datta (they/them) queer-trans journalist(https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/06/indian-transgender-womans-caste-change-experience
trans/?utm_source=LGBTQ+Nation+Subscribers&utm_campaign=9b7aa0911f-20220607_LGBTQ_Nation_Daily_Brief&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_c4eab596bd-9b7aa0911f-432349228).
It is a fascinating as well as Janus-faced piece. It
was written by a journalist from the Kayastha caste, the dominant Hindu
caste. In many ways, I am with the Indian theatre artist Living Smile Vidya
about the caste system, untouchability, racism, persecution, identity, mistreatment,
low treatment, etc. for being an untouchable cum Trans, by the Hindu or Hindu
background LGBTQ community.
First of all,
Indians are divided into five categories, i.e., Brahmins (priests), Kshatriya
(warrior), Vaishya (trader), Shudra (peasant), and Achut, or untouchables. The
LGBTQNATION deliberately excluded untouchables from the vertical hierarchies of
the Hindu caste system. They ended with the Shudra community and portrayed them
as low-caste, innocents, or people doing menial labor. Shudras are the
dominant, violent, corrupted, rapists and brutal lynchers of untouchable castes
in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Japan, or the Diaspora.
Shudra castes are foot-soldiers of twice-born castes.
The first four
castes are known for their brutalities against the fifth caste, the untouchable
caste. An LGBTQ person from the Hindu religion can lynch a cisgender
untouchable caste. You can understand the magnification or power of LGBTQ Hindu
castes to persecute even a cis-gendered untouchable person. One can imagine the
condition of the LGBTQ untouchable in the hands of the Hindu caste LGBTQ
community.
As Smile Vidya
said, every untouchable, irrespective of their gender, hides when they cross
their village or home to get little respect, even from the LGBTQ Hindu
community in South Asia. Almost all LGBTQ organizations in South Asia are run
by Hindus, just like whites in the white world. UNO or its white communities
fund 100% Hindu-run LGBTQ organizations. I have never come across any
untouchable run LGBTQ organizations getting any funds from any international
organizations.
The Aryan or
Hindutva caste-based-LGBTQ organizations are purely Janus-faced or
brown-skinned, white-masked organizations. These Janus Faces, or brown-skin,
white-masked ideologies, include Urvashi Vaid and any Brahmin or Hindu LGBTQ
individuals or caste-based LGBTQ organizations are notorious against
untouchables. Every Hindu LGBTQ person practices the rigid caste system,
untouchability, racism, and persecution against cisgender untouchable caste
people.
This is my lived or personal experience with
Hindu or Brahmin LGBTQ individuals, scholars, theorists, activists or
communities. They hold western foreign degrees with massive wealth that their
families earned through corrupted ways that they enjoy. None of the casteist
and racist LGBTQ people of Hindu origin ever question the corruption of their
family wealth that these casteist and racist LGBTQ people enjoy. Their way of
life or ideologies are cruel, conservative, self-preservative, genocidal
persecutions against cisgender untouchable caste people. The
Hindutva/Brahmin/twice-born, including Shudra caste background in Daispora,
LGBTQ people practice rigid racism towards the African cisgender community in
the white world.
One can imagine
the status of untouchable caste background cisgender or LGBTQ people at the
hands of Hindu background LGBTQ people and individuals. But the white world is
projecting these casteist, racist, and religious fundamentalist Hindu LGBTQ
people as forward-thinkers or the greatest LGBTQ leaders on earth, just like
they projected Urvashi Vaid and other Brahmin or Hindu background LGBTQ people.
The irony is that
Western LGBTQ people and communities are always drawn back to Hindu LGBTQ
people and communities. The fact is that every Hindu or Brahmin-based LGBTQ
organization's symbol is Swastika, but Jews are part of worshipping these
Swastika-based Hindutva LGBTQ organizations without any doubt.
They (Smile Vidya) might not have understood
what racism means, so they defined racism wrongly. Let me write my opinion or
review on how the LGBTQATION journalists tried to manipulate brutal practices
of untouchability, the caste system, and racism by whole collective practices
of Hindutva castes into "upper-caste individuals' practices." They
reduced the brutality of Hindus against untouchables from the whole Hindutva
community's practices into a few individual practices. This is purely a social
corruption of LGBTQNATION. One should be careful about the writings of
LGBTQNATION on the untouchables of Asia.
They (Sayantan
Datta) are heavily biased, consciously minimizing the brutal Hindutva systems
that have been practiced by every Hindu caste against every untouchable caste
in India, regardless of skin color or gender identity. A dark-skinned Hindu/Brahmin
dehumanizes a white-skinned untouchable. So how do we understand this racism?
Even LGBTQNATION, or it's Brahmin (Arjun Appa Durai) or Kshatriya caste
journalists, manipulated race relations in the United States of America. True,
white men and women commit racism against people of all races, but the degree
of severity varies. African Americans practice racism against the African
community, but the level of hatred, violence, racism, humiliation, etc is zero.
The LGBTQNATION
even used references from Appa Durai, a Brahmin who served as a foot soldier
for Brahmin Hindus throughout his life, to define the caste system or internal
hierarchies among untouchables.
The LGBTQNATION has manipulated the Hindu caste
system, untouchability, persecution, and racism by reducing brutality to the
normal way of casteism. The 250 million weak, or fifth category, untouchable
caste has disappeared from its categories. The white world's LGBTQ
organizations are always racist in matters of untouchable castes or LGBTQ
people from untouchable caste backgrounds.
And finally, let
me wind up by saying that Hindutva-based LGBTQ organizations or white-run LGBTQ
organizations are working against the most marginalized untouchable castes. An
LGBTQ Brahmin or Hindu can lynch a cisgender untouchable in the public sphere
in South Asia. How do you understand this situation or the dominance of Brahmin
LGBTQ or Hindu LGBTQ force against cisgender untouchables? A dark-skinned
Brahmin or Hindu LGBTQ person can carry out a massacre against a white-skinned
cisgender untouchable in India, Nepal, or Sri Lanka.
A Brahmin/Hindu caste LGBTQ person or a
Hindu caste LGBTQ person is part and parcel of crimes against humanity against
cisgender untouchable caste people in India, let alone forgetting LGBTQ
untouchable castes and their double persecution at the hands of these Aryan or
Dravidian or Hindutva based LGBTQ organizations.
In the Indian context, it is the birth
of your caste that matters, where the LGBTQNATION is manipulated by visibly
removing untouchable caste from its Panchama caste order.
I hope white people running LGBTQ organizations,
including black-running LGBTQ people, LGBTQ organizations should read serious
books on the most marginalized lives, such as Giorgio Agamben’s work Homo Sacer or Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s
writings and speeches, before writing any piece on the caste system,
untouchables, or racism in the Indian context. They should read serious works
instead of reducing the brutality of Hindus, including brutalities of LGBTQ
Hindu communities, against untouchable castes.
Truth alone triumph
