The Clash of Cultures, New Book by Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd

The Clash of Cultures by Kancha Ilaiah

The whole world knows that the center pin of Hindutva ideology is Brahminism. After a careful study of Indian Islamic history I came to a conclusion that the Hindutva’s strength comes from the anti-reformist Mullahism of Indian Islam. Mullahism, is as communal and conservative as Brahmanism is. Both Brahminism and Mullahism are also anti-production schools. Like Brahminism, Mullahism combined with feudalism took Muslim women out of agrarian production with a cultural control over their mental and physical faculties. All human societies develop only when men and women work in the production fields without any fear.

More than half of Muslim men do not work in any productive field because of their prayer centered life and anti-production values. We all know that never in Indian history Brahmin and Ksatriya men put their hand to the plough. All their women were not allowed to do agrarian work as that work was defined as pollution. All these forces forgot that the food for the stomach was/is coming from agrarian fields. That food is a byproduct of the Shudra/Dalit/Adivasi labour power. They were drawn into communal riots and fights. They suffered most in this process of communal conflicts and spiritual political battles. India as a nation is getting stagnated because of such anti-labour spiritualism of both Brahminism and Mullahism. For the first time this book addresses some of these questions.
