SIXTY SEVEN YEARS JEWISH KNOWLEDGE VERSUS SIX THOUSAND YEARS NON-MERITORIOUS KNOWLEDGE

I went to attend a workshop meant for PhD and Post-Doctoral fellowship scholars at the Center for Studies in Social Sciences (CSSS) in Calcutta in 2009. This is a workshop where I presented a paper on "From Difference to More Difference: A Dalit-Madiga Talk Differently from the Ambedkarite Perspective" at the 6 Day Centre for Studies in Social Sciences (CSSSC)-Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust (NRTT) Annual Workshop for Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Scholars on the Theme of Inequalities and Differences, organized by the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta between January 04 and January 09, 2009.

 

I met and saw the egalitarian practices of renowned scholars and intellectuals in this center. For the first time, I met an internationally renowned political thinker, Professor Partha Chatterji, in this workshop. I have received study materials from the CSSS prior to attending the workshop two months in advance. The material that the center had provided to invitees (PhD or Post-Doctoral Scholars) was a rare collection written by eminent social scientists. I have been reminded of what CSCS used to provide or guide its students to read the same to discuss in the classrooms when I was a student there. The CSSS had reminded me of my past days with the CSCS through its study material. I was so happy that I had earned lots of knowledge through purely intellectual discussions and debates over the period of a week. I met eminent historians Professor Tanika Sarkar of Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi and Professor Devika of the Center for Development Studies in Kerala at the same workshop.I enjoyed their presentations and discussions.

 

I had raised some inadequate debates on the way in which the ‘Bengali Badralok Academic Mafia’ had falsely written the Indian liberation struggles and their sub-subaltern histories. I was still developing my true sense of academic quality after being removed from the CSCS in 2005. Even though I began reading vast literature and spent a significant amount of time, energy, and money on my intellectual trajectories, I still possessed intellectually inferior qualities.There is no doubt that CSCS has influenced me a lot in this academic journey of knowledge creation, even though it is branded as' elite ', but it never' isolated'me except' my personal isolation with inferior complexities’ from the academic people. This is my memory of the CSCS.

 

Coming to the CSSS workshop, I saw a very peculiar incident happen that I had never seen in my entire life, with the exception of my stay at the CSCS. I have never seen that kind of ‘wonder of the world’ in this subcontinent that ‘an internationally renowned Professor Partha Chatterji was carrying a chair for a peon who was standing just beside him’.  Is it not a wonder of the world that in a society like ours, where the "power structure" is enjoyed by everyone, irrespective of caste, religion, gender, and class, is it not a wonder of the world? Can anyone expect this "progressive, liberal, and egalitarian behavior" from any Indian university in general or sub-subaltern academicians in particular?

 

Professor Partha Chatterji’s knowledge creation or egalitarian practices with students or non-student groups have emerged from his western education, unlike subcontinental learners who practice inegalitarian behavior with fellow human beings. Of course, I do agree that everyone carries some sort of hierarchy based on many visible or invisible skills, but intellectuals who are progressive are the products of western education who thrive on freedom of individuality.

 

In fact, I had a personal experience with the internationally renowned Professor of Linguistics, Noam Chomski, when he was talking to students and teachers while sitting on the lawn in Sydney. I was part of that conversation with him in 2011.

 

My personal experience with Professor Partha Chatterji, Professor Noam Chomski, Professor Gopal Guru, Professor Satish Deshpande, Professor Sharmila Rege, Professor Tanika Sarkar, Professor Tejaswini Niranjana, Professor Anand Teltumbde, Professor Gail Omvedt, Professor Perry Anderson, Professor Aloysius, and the teaching communities of CSCS, CSDS, and CSSS has been entirely egalitarian, progressive, thought-provoking, thought- How far can teachers from the Ambedkar, Marxist, or Gender School of Thought compete with the liberation attitudes of the aforementioned intellectuals in terms of at least egalitarian behavior, if not intellectual competition?How far can ‘Indian’ products be dedicated to the cause of knowledge creation for which the above intellectuals have dedicated their life span? What is the merit of the teachers at the state and central universities except using the 'non-meritorious'‘reservation cards’ or ‘caste cards’ or ‘gender cards’ or‘regional cards’ or ‘cards of race'... for instance, Dravidians’ or ‘political cards’ or' religious cards’ or' minority cards’....

 

I've seen Anthropology and Economics Professors working with one of the central universities affiliated with the Ambedkar School of Thought, the works of which are unknown in academic circles.pathetic condition of this anthropology professor is that he was a product of some foreign universities but was never able to write a single article that could be referred to by any mainstream scholar. I knew one of the PhD students belonged to some non-meritorious ‘agrarian’ community, i.e., Reddy from South Asian Central University, used to render his‘services’ to his ‘Center Director and to his Supervisors’ who belonged to sub-subaltern groups in the social realm, to get his Ph.D. degree. Finally, this non-meritorious PhD holder got into an academic institution in Bombay and got into PDF by using manipulative methods. The same student was not given admission for his inadequate academic scholarship and for his plagiaristic work in his M.Phil in the department of Political Science by the dedicated Professor from the top of the twice-born category. The same non-meritorious student was given admission into a "non-meritorious" center for the study of social exclusion and inclusive policy, and they made him a faculty member.

 

The morale of the story is that if you are academically unfit or academically inadequate, then you are being invited by the non-meritorious centers in India, but you should not be a "good reader", you should not be a "dedicated scholar," you should not be a "good humanist," you should not be a "good writer," but you should be a part and parcel of "chitchatting," "film discussions," or "cricket discussions," or "political discussions such as praising some babus". There are many restrictions on joining this group in academic institutions. If you qualify for the above requirements, then your character would not be assassinated by these non-meritorious groups. Otherwise, your character would be assassinated by these non-meritorious teachers and researchers in academic institutions. An internationally renowned intellectual, Professor Ashsh Nandi, was being harassed by these non-meritorious groups for his stand against some corrupted people coming from the ‘agrarian’ as well as the lowest rungs of society. The same group of unworthy academicians had harassed eminent Professors Surender Jodka and Satish Deshpande until they left the subcontinent's central university.Threatening an intellectual with a "caste card" is a great loss to any university in knowledge creation. This central university has lost two eminent social scientists permanently. The same non-meritorious group had restricted eminent writer Arundhati Roy from coming to attend her book release in Hyderabad, India. As Dr B R Ambedkar said, "Caste has killed the spirit of merit" in the Indian subcontinent, by looking at the above incidents in which non-meritorious teachers and researchers have been involved in harassing eminent personalities in the school of social sciences and humanities. Another eminent scholar, Dr Gundimeda Sambaiah, who holds the highest degree from a renowned university, i.e., London University, has never been a faculty member in South Indian universities just because he is an English-speaking scholar, because he is ‘producing more knowledge’ like his fellow western-educated intellectuals in the subcontinent. His current work, ‘Contemporary Dalit Politics', published by the renowned publication, Routledge, is thought-breaking, but he does not fit into this academic mafia. The failure to recruit Dr. Sambaiah in South Indian central universities represents a significant loss to knowledge creation.It is shaming the non-meritorious, shameless teachers and researchers who are surviving on the hard work of intellectuals. The second

 

experience is: I attended a talk by Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the United Nations Organization, on ‘Australia and the 21^st Century United Nations: Priorities for a Changing World’ at the Venue of The Great Hall, the Quadrangle, at the University of Sydney, on Thursday 8 September 2011 between 10am and 11am at the University of Sydney, Australia. I had observed a very interesting practice of Ban Ki Moon's that he was carrying his bag without any assistance from anyone, whereas if you look at any teacher or VC in the subcontinent, they are the most inegalitarian and most hymocratic in their behavior with the teaching as well as non-teaching communities.

 

I have witnessed the bourgeois practices of non-meritorious teachers and researchers at the state and central universities who treat students and peons like slaves. Treating indifferently is based on your ‘degree’ or ‘class’ or ‘caste’ or ‘gender’ or ‘region’. I have seen a non-meritorious PhD scholar from the human rights center while carrying the foot wear of ‘his Ph.D. Supervisor cum human rights orator cum Marxist scholar’. And for those services he rendered to his 'Supervisor', he received the gift of a faculty position at one of the Central Universities. Prior to his job, 'his Supervisor cum human rights orator' allowed his name to appear as a co-author in one of his EPW articles.The gift of slavery is getting a faculty position and getting high positions after securing permanent positions.

 

A state university Vice-Chancellor treats his fellow Deans, Heads and Professors as employees of his factories and the same Deans, Heads and Professors treat Associate Professors as their subordinates working in the same factories as well by Associate Professors would treat Assistant Professors in the same way they were being treated by their superior employees.

 

Then what is the relationship between the VC and his foot soldiers? Is it the relation of master and slave? In the state universities, it is the same relationship between M.Phil/Ph.D. Supervisors and their research scholars. The same research scholars would treat PG students in the same way they had been treated by their supervisors. PG students treat their UG students the same way.

 

There is no much difference between state and central universities or institutions, with a few exceptional cases with the premier institutions such as CSDS, CSSS, and CSCS in the subcontinent in reproducing cultural hierarchies and modern slavery. The

 

forms of modern slavery that have been reproduced by the state and central universities or institutions are as follows:

 

Folding hands: Deans, HODs, and professors would fold their hands in front of VCs.

UG/PG/M.Phil/Ph.D. students should fold their hands in front of their teachers.

 

Students are being treated as domestic workers.

Students are ‘drivers’ of two-wheelers or cars of teachers of the respective departments.

Students are the‘vegetable’ carriers of the teachers' homes or quarters.

Finally, students are free-paid servants till they get their M.Phil or Ph.D degrees.

 

 

But, there is a gentleman's agreement between these non-meritorious teachers and students in every university in India. The agreement is that there is a reward for serving their bosses.I have an eyewitness at a central university in south India that a so-called ‘human rights orator’ has been allowing his students to carry his shoes, but in return he is making them faculty in other academic institutions at the cost of merit. State universities are worse than central universities in terms of reproducing modern slavery.

 

The advantages of modern slavery for Indian academic institutions are as follows:

 

You will be submitting your M.Phil or Ph.D. thesis soon without any affordances such as reading or writing.

 

You will be getting positions without reading and writing.

 

Most of the non-meritorious teachers and students in the subcontinent are guilty of plagiarism. If you look, the entire M.Phil and PhD thesis of Social Sciences, Humanities, Sciences, and Mathematics from the 1950s to the present are 'copied' works full of plagiarism, but they got degrees, jobs, and retired as Professors and VCs without even writing a single page article, even for a paid journal.Indeed, my Ph.D. thesis has been checked by an anti-plagiarism checker at the university, which attested to my work as a genuine work.

 

Most of these retired professors, vice-chancellors, and even Chancellors of universities (99.99% educated in subcontinent universities) were unknown to academic circles.These non-meritorious teachers and researchers had turned state and central universities into places for chit-chat, resembling "Panchayat" or "Revenue" offices.

 

The relationship between student and teacher depends on being from the same caste or tribe. It is not easy for an outside student to become a group member of another ‘caste or tribe or religion’ teacher. Non-meritorious teachers who can't spell their liberator classical piece "Riddles of Hinduism" would refer to their "same caste student" as "maa abbayi" (he is my son), "maa ammayi" (she is my daughter), or "maa vollu" (my caste people).It is mostly being done by the non-meritorious teachers-followers of the meritorious Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in academic institutions. I had witnessed how a teacher from the state university discriminated against "her" students based on their "caste". I understood that female teachers are more ‘casteist’ rather than the ‘male’ teachers of that non-meritorious community. The Social Sciences have become centers for "chitchatting" or "uploading photos on Facebook or Whatsapp" by non-academic faculties." Egalitarian

 

practices depend on your education. If you are a product of Indian universities, your behavior will be inegalitarian with few personal exceptions, but if you are a product of renowned western universities, you will be a man of equality, liberty, freedom, and fraternity.

INTELLECTUALS PRACTICES VERSUS NON-INTELLECTUAL PRACTICES IN INDIAN ACADEMY

I went to attend a workshop meant for PhD and Post-Doctoral fellowship scholars at the Center for Studies in Social Sciences (CSSS) in Calcutta in 2009. This is a workshop where I presented a paper on "From Difference to More Difference: A Dalit-Madiga Talk Differently from the Ambedkarite Perspective" at the 6 Day Centre for Studies in Social Sciences (CSSSC)-Navajbai Ratan Tata Trust (NRTT) Annual Workshop for Doctoral and Post-Doctoral Scholars on the Theme of Inequalities and Differences, organized by the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta between January 04 and January 09, 2009.

MERITORIOUS AMBEDKAR VERSUS NON-MERITORIOUS CENTER FOR AMBEDKAR STUDIES

I am thinking of writing about some non-meritorious academic social science or humanities centers and its functions in the higher education institutions and universities in South Asia. I am writing it purely from my personal experiences with the various teaching and research communities who are running those centers non-meritoriously in the Social Sciences. They are:

Center for the Study of Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy (CSSE&IP)

Center for Women Studies (CWS)

Center for Ambedkar Studies (CAS)

Center for Gandhi Studies (CGS)

Center for Tribal Studies (CTS)

Center for Human Rights Studies (CHRS)

Center for Gender Studies (CGS)

Center for Dalit & Minority Studies (CDMS)

Center for Islamic Studies (CIS)

It does not mean that departments of various disciplines in the higher education institutions and universities are filled with meritorious teaching and research communities. They are in fact same on par with the above centers in spoiling the spirit of academic discourses. Academic centers have become more centers for chitchatting with the same ‘caste’ teachers, scholars and students.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) has declared that Gautham Buddha (He is politically being added by the academic mafia of Mahars), Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar and Jawaharlal Nehru (He is politically being added by then Congress regime at the center) have influenced the Indian society from their life and struggles so UGC has decided to set up centers at the universities in India. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar were the genuine figures in this list of great personalities who changed the Indian society from their struggles (M K Gandhi and Dr B R Ambedkar) and knowledge ( Dr B R Ambedkar). If M K Gandhi was succeeded in politics then Dr. B. R. Ambedkar has created enormous knowledge in the areas of history, politics, geography, human rights, sociology, economics, religious studies apart from his ground breaking struggles against caste system which created Untouchables in subcontinent. Arundhati Roy’s introduction for Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste with The Doctor and the Saint - can give you massive information about the way in which Ambedkar’s followers and M K Gandhi were fighting for the rights of ‘privileged’ groups. If M K Gandhi argued for the rights of PASSENGER INDIANS (Mostly high class and come from the so called purified castes) by ignoring the pathetic condition of INDENTURED INDIANS (Low class with low caste back ground) in South Africa then Ambedkar followers in the Center are resenting non-Mahar (Maharashtra), non-Parayar (Tamil Nadu) and non-Mala (Andhra Pradesh & Telangana) groups in subcontinent. Indeed, Ambedkar had organized meetings with his ‘mahar’ groups from the beginning. Eleanor Zelliot’s Dr B R Ambedkar and Mahar Movement was the best example so witness his ‘mahar movement’ in which it strict to ‘mahar’ community. (Ironically, non-meritorious teachers and researchers of Center for Ambedkar studies resent the Madiga Studies for arguing against the Justice studies that have been taken by the non- Mahar, non- Parayar and non- Mala academicians in the meritorious  studies of the university centers and departments).

There are few namesake non-mahars in his life but they are not countable. So the chain of resenting most marginalized sections can be seen in the works of M K Gandhi or Dr. B.  R. Ambedkar. But the only difference between Ambedkar and Gandhi is ‘if former had created enormous knowledge with modern principles of equality, liberty, freedom and fraternity then later had superimposed purity and impurity in the society. One is a modern with human rights principles another is a human rights violator with holding the notion of purity and impurity.

Principal reason behind Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s knowledge is his western education at the world renowned Christian Universities- Colombia University in the United States of America and London School of Economics in the Great Britain which ruled India for more than 190 years, whereas M K Gandhi went to non-meritorious institutions-running by the Indian community in South Africa and London. So if Columbia University and London School of Economics have enabled Dr B R Ambedkar to create knowledge then petty academic institutions in which M K Gandhi had studied had trained him in a way that he can bargain with the power politics so he succeeded him in political sphere unlike Ambedkar in intellectual sphere. Most of intellectuals who went to prestigious universities in the west are struggling to live in the subcontinent with their ‘western’ education training which trained them to be with ‘too much’ academic knowledge, ‘too much’ dedication for their profession, ‘too much’ ethics and ‘too much’ honest in their daily life with ‘hard working culture’. It is hard to live in a society which is carrying the spirit of ‘culture of off’ unlike the ‘culture of on’ of the white western society. Dr B R Ambedkar had come from this ‘culture of on’ of western society whereas ‘his’ followers lived in their respectable places-places of ‘culture of off’. It is just like ‘frog in well’.

UGC has allotted fund to set up few centers for the study of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, Gandhi, Social Exclusion & Inclusive Policy and Women at various state and central universities in India. Most of state and central universities started those centers for studying the life histories of Ambedkar and Gandhi.

100% of Center for ‘Ambedkar’ studies has been captured by ‘his’ non-meritorious followers who are teaching in the departments of political sciences at the every university. Of course it’s not only Ambedkar centers have captured by ‘his’ followers but also Center for the Study of Social Exclusion & Inclusive Policies at every university. Most of these Center Directors or Heads are academically unfit and nobody known their names in the academic circles.

Most of the central universities and state universities, as a matter of fact, have occupied by the non-meritorious reservation holders with few personal exemptions and candidates belonged to ‘agrarian’ or ‘business’ categories politically recruited under the open category system. I have attended many seminars, conferences and workshops organized by these non-meritorious teachers and researchers but I have seen their hands shaking while they are ‘reading’ their papers in front of ‘other’ English speaking academicians without ‘shivering’ their hands and faces. Their faces resemble inferior complexities and their hands are shivering. In fact I had presented many papers in various national and international seminars, conferences and workshops in front of eminent social scientists such as Professor Gopal Guru and Professor Satish Deshpande at the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. Indeed, Professor T K Oomen had chaired my presentation at the Pondicherry University way back to half decade ago. I used to be like them but my perceiveness for intellectual discourses have shadow my inferior complexities over a period of time. Credit goes to CSCS.

Non-meritorious teachers at the CAS do conduct national seminars and conferences but speakers come from the ‘same caste’ ‘same human rights orator’ ‘same Sudra bourgeois’ and ‘same vernacular’ speaking non-academicians.  The purpose of the seminar has gone the moment organizer is a vernacular speaking non-meritorious teacher. They share together some chitchat and they make fun on ‘some’ dedicated scholars who produce knowledge unlike these ‘chaired professors’ who spent entire their life to pass days, months and years till they retire in the name of ‘first generation’ or ‘lower caste’ back ground. They have many excuses to escape from the knowledge creation.

CAS or CSSE&IP or CDMS or CTS are full of ‘same caste or tribe’ and it is filled with the spirit of ‘gentleman agreement’ with the other non-meritorious ‘agrarian’ castes who join the universities by using various political recommendations.

It has become a problem when eminent Professors like Gopal Guru or Ashish Nandi or Anand Teltumbde or Arundhati Roy make comment on these non-meritorious centers, departments, institutions and universities the way in which they produce unproductive activities threatening knowledge creation. These non-meritorious use the weapon of caste to threaten intellectuals legally under the various ‘atrocities act’.

I never forget the words of leading Dalit intellectual in subcontinent Professor Gopal Guru with whom I travelled to Buddhist place from the BHU. In his own words ‘how a Ph.D. holder from the Political Science department of the JNU, have spoiled the spirit of academic scholarship by entertaining only his ‘community’ people by leaving the passion for knowledge creation. His non-meritorious alumni of JNU, mostly coming from the reservation section, who are working in the state or central universities have became mere political activists rather than scholars in every academic centers. Most of JNU or University of Hyderabad (UoH) degree holders coming from the reservation section, who are working with the subcontinent universities, are outside of the intellectual field and most of politically and manipulated researchers became ‘puppets in the hands of dominant but non-meritorious teachers’ just to get teaching jobs in the academic institutions. One can see the gentleman agreement of non-meritorious irrespective of caste, religion, gender, region etc.

Most of these CAS communities can’t even spell out eminent social scientist names such as Aloysius or Gail Omvedt or Eleanor Zelliot or Nicholas Dirk or Perry Anderson or Anand Teltumbde or Sharmila Rege who are seriously working on the literature of liberation. Very interesting observation is 70% of non-meritorious teachers and researchers in the social sciences does not even know the name of internationally renowned eminent Social Scientist Professor Gopal Guru who is working very seriously on ‘their’ liberator in the intellectual arena or does not know even the existence of Economic and Political Weekly (EPW) journal in the subcontinent. This is my personal experience with ‘reservation holders as well as agrarian non-meritorious groups’ at many state and central universities in subcontinent.

It seems like,
