The Brahmin Stranglehold over Nepal

The tentacles of the Brahmanist power machinery pervade each and every single sphere of Nepali life. Over centuries of Brahmin domination, this totalitarian stranglehold has penetrated into every aspect of Nepali civilization. From the mass media to religion, from organised crime to administration and from prostitution rackets to the army, the Brahmin everywhere wields absolute power. The cumulative effect of this tuberculosis has been the asphyxation of the indigenous Mongoloid inhabitants and their degradation to the status of lepers and beggars in their own country. The Brahmin menace has assumed such horrifying proportions that it now appears close to acomplishing the final extinction of the Mongoloid race and religion in Nepal. In order to truly comprehend the extent of Brahmin control over Nepal, it is necessary to factually examine the Hindu power structure and take necessary steps to tackle the problem at the very root.

The Administration
The administration is saturated with Brahmins and allied Aryan castes from top to bottom. At each and every stage the aspiring Mongol meets Brahmin superiors who only permit his promotion if the Brahmin power strucure is not threatened. An idea of this near-total stranglehold over Nepali administration which the Brahmins possess can be had from the following figures :

Population of Nepal in 1975
Brahmin & Kshatriya 22.2%
Others 77.8%

However, although the Brahmins (referred to as Bahuns in Nepal) and their allies, the Kshatriyas (referred to as Chettries in Nepal) comprise only one-fifth of the population, they cornered more than 90 % of all higher administrative posts of the nation :

Brahmin & Kshatriya 92.8%
Others (mainly Newar) 7.2%

Growing resistance, however, forced the Brahmins to superficially part with some power. This they did, however, continuing to pull the strings behind the scenes. They accordingly gave some of the administrative posts to their new allies, the Newars, in return for an improvement in the caste scale for the Newars' loyal service. The Brahminists have thus managed to cling on to almost 90 % of the administrative posts of Nepal. This is evident by the following administrative level break-up in 1989 :


Secretary Level of Bureaucrats, 1989

Brahman 31.25
Newar 25.00
Chhetri 31.25
Tarai Peoples 9.37
Gurkha *** 0
Muslim 0
Non State & others 0

*** Gurkha includes Rai, Gurung, Magar, Tamang and Thakali (RLGMTT)

This Brahminist control over administration automatically implies absolute control over any state-run enterprises. In other words, the enormous state-run industries, the state-owned forests and the enormous state-owned lands all are under the grip of Brahmins.

Military
Of the senior army officials 81% of the higher ranks are occupied by the Bahuns and Chetries [ Chapter 6, Hidden Facts of Nepalese Politics, Gopal Gurung ]. It is this Brahmin-controlled army that is used to quell riots, arrest the Mongol opposition and silence discontent. It is this Brahmin-controlled army that used to send Gurkhas to die in far-off lands during the Anglo-Brahmin Empire in India. It is this Brahmin army that arrests Mongol youths for petty offences to be tried under Brahmanic law but permits the Brahmin-controlled mafia to continue the gigantic flesh trade in Mongol girls. This also acts as a reserve : in case of any rebellion by the Mongoloids, the army shall be called into duty to ruthlessly suppress it and plunge the nation into civil war.

Organised Crime
The bulk of the organised crime organisations of Nepal, which are mainly involved in illicit traffic in women and drugs, are controlled by Brahmins. The biggest gangsters, porno kings, betting parlor owners, pimps and dope pushers are all Brahminists, who control this industry which eats away at the very foundations of Mongol civilization. Occasionally, a figurehead is installed to fool the ignorant Mongoloids, but behind the scenes, the Big Brahmin pulls the strings. The entire prostitution industry of Nepal is in the hands of Brahmin criminals who engage in this highly lucratic traffic, selling helpless Mongol women to brothels all across India whilst the Brahmin-controlled police looks the other way. More than 25,000 such innocent women are serving in disreputable brothels in Bombay alone. The tentacles of related Brahmin mafias stretch all across India, and there are another inestimable tens of thousands of Nepali slave-women who have been trapped by the Brahmin Terror Network in other cities all across India. The high crime rate also leads to the raison-d'etre of the lucrative Brahmin-controlled law industry which provides employment for Brahmin judges, lawyers and law professors at universities.

Culture
The Brahmin stranglehold over the Nepali media has meant that Brahmanic civilizational norms have penetrated to the very core of Nepali culture, slowly but surely undermining it. Indigenous Tibeto-Burman languages have been steadily polluted with an ever-increasing number of alien Sanskrit words thrust into the vernaculars by the Brahmin brain-washing media. Thus the indigenous tongue has been corrupted into a mongrel hybrid of Sanskrit and Mongolic. The result has been the most fatal cultural tuberculosis of Nepal.
The Brahmin-dominated media network also specialises in the broadcasting of highly violent films. The sole intent of these shows is to destroy the morals of Nepali society by transforming the youth into enraged, violent mobs engaged in internal gang warfares. To a large extent, this has already succeeded, leading to the breakdown of the Nepali family-oriented society.

In addition, the Brahmin-controlled brain-washing apparatus spews forth the most obscene pornography that is solely designed to corrupt the indigenous Nepali youth and lure innocent Nepali girls into the Brahmin-owned prostitution racket. The films also depict interracial acts, mainly involving Nepali women and men of other races, especially Sudra Blacks and Caucasoid males. However, the reverse, namely Nepali men with Sudra and Brahmin females, are virtually absent. The hidden intent of these films is to portray the Mongol male as somehow lacking in masculinity whilst portraying Sudra and Caucasoid men as `superior'. These items of filth are not merely pornography, but are part of a sinister Brahmin-engineered plot designed to brainwash Nepali women into relations with Sudroid and Caucasoid males. The sole purpose of these Brahmin-produced films is to to lead to race-mixing and blood pollution amongst the indigenous Nepalis. The objective of this Brahminic tactic is to completely destroy the Mongoloid race by mongrelisation.

Drugs
The Brahminist Mafia is also engaged in the highly lucrative drug trade, distributing highly addictive drugs all across Nepal. Whilst the Brahmin drug-pushers themselves do not take these drugs, they encourage the Mongol youth to do so, aided enormously by the Brahmin-controlled media. Large sections of the Himalayas, most notably the state of Manipur, has been transformed into nations of drug-addicts. In addition, the Brahmin-controlled government has prevented the supply of fresh needles to the addicts, leading to the spread of AIDS and HIV infections in the Himalayas. The result is that large sections of the Mongoloid population face extinction in the coming decades. The Brahmin-occupied government is simultaneously engaging in a programme of settling Aryan and higher caste Hindus in the depopulated regions. Thus, the previously Mongoloid-dominated region of Tripura has now been demographically altered and is currently a Aryan-Hindu dominated state.
The utilisation of addictive drugs to systematically destroy various races has been resorted to by Brahmins for several centuries. Thus, the Ayurveda and other Brahmin medical texts are full of various descriptions of different types of drugs and narcotics. These were supplied to the subject populations in order to destroy their youth.

The Future
The thrist for power as prescribed by the `holy' Arthasastra and an unbridled lust for fair-skinned Mongoloid girls are the main reasons behind the establishment of the totalitarian Brahminist state of Nepal on Kautilyan lines. Such is the asphyxating nature of this grip that Mr. Gopal Gurung was jailed for 18 months merely for speaking out against this tyranny ! It is only the intense efforts of human rights organisations that saved Mr. Gurung's life, for the Brahmins would have poisoned him in the manner prescribed in the Arthasastra. Mr. Gurung would have then joined the long list of leaders assassinated by Brahmins : Chaitanya, Dayanand Sarasvati, Gandhi, and many others. The bigoted Brahmin race, fed on the disgustingly racist verses from the Vedas have instituted a most horrible system of Vedic apartheid. The unparalleled trach record of the fanatic Brahmin savages in India speaks for itself.

All the debilitating Brahmin inventions of Sati, vegetarianism, devadasism, apartheid and enforced illiteracy were solely designed to exterminate non-Brahmins, and these crippling diseases are rapidly spreading through the veins of Nepal, sucking the very lifeblood of the indigenous race. If left to grow unchekced, this shall result in the complete annihilation of the indigenous Mongol civilization throughtout the Himalayas. After all that is what the Brahmins did to the Sudras in North India in order to establish the racially pure Brahmavarta !

The Brahmin Problem
It is evident from the above that the sole cause of all problems facing the indigenous Mongoloid populations at the present day are due to the highly-organised alien Brahmin race. Nor is the discussion limited to the present; the analysis above reveals that the problems that have been plaguing indigenous Mongol Nepalis for millenia are due to the Brahmins. All the devastating institutions of enforced prostitution, polyandry, shortage of land and mass famines, female infanticide and sati, have been enforced upon the Mongols by the Brahmins. Emotional upheavals are not the solution to this problem; a well-thought out strategy must be prepared to rid the Himalayan Mongols of this menace once and for all.

HA HA HA HA HA.
LOL!
Time magazine published this tripe? LOL. Do you think we're stupid? I sure as hell hope Time Magize runs a spell checker before publishing stuff.

Thugged Out bro, are you Bahun too :P

The point is, if you're talking about the same Time Magazine we're all familiar with, this article could not and would not be accepted by Time Magazine. Either you're trying to fool us, or Time Magazine has dumbed itself down big time. Even the writing style is not Time material.

TripleXji, you pointed out the crux of the matter in Nepalese development and politics. Of course, it is not to blame here the "Brahmins", but the feudal structure of the society, which developed in the course of the time in Nepalese history. Anyway, thanks for putting this issue on Sajha. We should critically review this article, at least, if we use our brain for the development politics of Nepal. Not necessarily placing Brahmans as responsible for opressions, but also to use the matter of facts to understand the socio-dynamics of Nepalese society.

XXX-ji, it would be interesting to add in this column how many parties in Nepal, even in current days as of June 2005, are leaded by Brahmins and higher castes (excluding Chhetris): This fact is more stronger than the administrative power, as it recruits and reproduce the administrative structure:

e.g.
Party Leaded by
CPN-Maoist- Bahun
CPN-UML- Bahun
NC (G) Bahun
NC (D) Bahun

These big giants parties are led by Brahmins too. However, as stated in Future of Bahunbad, I don't agree with this point. Recent development in education and cultural revolutions, at least sensatization, has made many equities. Equitable education and awareness are the basic tools to make balance in the stronghold of Bahunbad than that of Administrative structure. Another point would be to point on the complex caste system from which Brahmins in history could take advantage of, as the basic problem in Nepal and India than Brahmins themselves. In fact, Social change is a steady process. Our generation, at least in my conscience, I do not care about caste-system, while dealing in intercaste basis.

You have raised quite interesting topics, may be we can continue it.

"""""Mr. Gopal Gurung was jailed for 18 months merely for speaking out against this tyranny ! It is only the intense efforts of human rights organisations that saved Mr. Gurung's life, for the Brahmins would have poisoned him in the manner prescribed in the Arthasastra""""

Can any of u guys google to find out who are the top bahun human right activists there in releasing mr Gurung.

Bahuns are not the coz of the problem but ur supressed mentality is. Dont start blaming bahuns like what hitler did to jews , u dont like a bahun doesnt mean he is the prob ..think what if bahun starts thinking the same way.

I forgot to say something....once I had a tamang fren, he asked me what if mongolians including tamangs were not in Nepal?...I said we cud already have been India then.

Good luck

Whoever has started thread is must dumbest guy? The whole nation is in turmoil and when there is a need of unity to fight for the present sitution. It dosenot matter if the bahun or chettri is ruling the nation. What can U do? They have been adviser for kings from the time of prithi naryan shah............like smart mongolinas became thakuri that time by helping prithivi naryan shah.............magar thapa became kaji(thakuri thapa), Newar malla became(thakuri malla)................listen dude i am not bahun but i am pendulum.............inbetween bahun and chettri.......kc but my mum is thapa(godar thapa) as they say santan of vimsen thapa......
we are facing same problem back here in hong kong..........there is so much hate for aryans.............they think mongolians are only nepalese of hong kong.......we dont deserve to be hk.........it is all run by some stupid guy from beni........i dont understand, even we have lot of young generations here who has atleast finished there class 10 or puls 2 from nepal or hk.......they still into it....god bless ppl like you and who thinks so.......................
Today if u are capable of yourself, u can be in pollitics or any field and u can prove that.......
today honestly i find mongolians are smarter than bahun and chettirs
most of the sucessful enterprener in hk are monoglians than bahuns........

so what the heck u are talking about


jesus man

Dear Friends, though, XXX didn't put his own arguments on this column, but s/he has refered the article by Niresh Tamang, on Dalitstan Journal, vol. 1, issue 2 (1999). However, he tries to provoke with his posting about the serious and deep rooted complexion of the Nepalese societies. Actually, it is not that necessary to praise one or another caste, race or ethnic group, but important is to understand the dynamic of the societies, as I stated earlier. The discourse on Bhaunbad, doesn't justify with few examples from HK or two friends of yours with different ethnicity, but it should be discussed in the light of the existing scenerio in the rural areas of Nepal, where, the oppressors and oppressed are still existing and Bahunbad to many extend is a problem. For us who could write in English in this forum is not a problem at all. But still, if we keep any racist view, supporting Bahun or support Newar or another one, that is different. The problem in rural communities in Nepal is still a leading obstruction for the socio-political development.

In fact, in the article of Niresh, he lacks too many sides of Nepalese lifes and ignore the critical neutral view on the complex struche of Nepalese societies. It would also have been better to stress what could be better, if so.

Lets have more input on this, may be we come with may good ideas and this colum, if we contribute unbiasedly, could be really benefitting. I have once heard about the Dor Bahadur Bista's book on Fatalism and Development from a friend of mine, which is supposed to highlight similar issues on Bahunbad. According to him, Bista was the one who brorught the issues of prevailing Bahunbad to the outside world. Otherwise, the Bahunbad and fatalism issues in Nepal, was remain like a "Kunai tol ko Gu"--shit on the street, where people on the tol are so accomodate, the shit doesn't smell like sheet or they don't observe shit as shit. Therefore, we sometimes don't see how much Bahunbad might have retrogatede the socio-political development in Nepal. Just an idea....

i get time magazine and i have never seen that article

Chicadenepal, "Kag le kan liyo bhandaima kan chhamne ki Kag ko pacchi dagurne?" Quite an old Nepalese proverb, but I am quite amazed to see it fits even today. If you like to find it you can goole it with the Title of the Article. Just a hint.

Unlike XXX mentioned, this article by Niresh Tamang is published on Dalitstan Journal, vol. 1, issue 2 (1999), which is a online publication. It doesn't matter whether it published in TIME or in SAJHA.COM, for me the relevance of the matter is more important.

Bahun are the best and superior people in Nepal.

We do not care other f-uc-king stupid races of nepal.

We are educated people.

We are ruler of Nepal.

We are politician, doctors, engineer, lawyer, leader and rule maker of Nepal.

You listen and do whatever Bahun will tell you. You better follow Bahun. O.K.

That's all.

We should all cool down and not get offensive about this. If one side is suffering, lets discuss to see how we can improve that. For too long, we have indulge ourselves in selfish and stupid lifestyle. If we are to move ahead, we have to share and care for each other.

To: thefactnepal

Budhead thefactnepal Who wants to listen your old crap.

It is like grand pa telling to grandsons.

The above article does not reflect my personal views. I was just providing the mere information.

It's natural to react. It's all good.

Thanks.

You can argue on the other way round too by saying that why there is chettribad on security system. Why British Army and Singapore police have been dominated with Rai, Tamang (as you called it Gurkha) and why business is dominted by Newar?
The work had been devided in such a way in multiple decades back. It is somehow continuing but remember in deminishing rate. It takes time to eliminate such system and may be in another coupple od decades you won't bee arguing in such a way as you are doing it now.

Sursab, you have an excellent comment, looks like a concluding remark for all the discussion lead in this thread. Great! It will be interesting to have as many opinion as possible to bring in this thread. Though we ingnore such issue, it is an important issue to be discussed.

XXX, it is nice of you to provoke any discussion which results good and bring many ideas together. You don't need to be in favour or against it, but should have some critical view on the system.

Guys/Gals,

It might be natural to "react" but it is neither good nor beneficial. However, if you "proact" as opposed to "react' Nepal might get somewhere.

Having said that let me "react" to this thread. We are going down the wrong path by having and propogating this discussion. NAZI party started in Germany by blaming everything on Jews and we all know what a devestating war we had in the late 30s and early 40s. Those that are posting these anti "bahuns" messages are the current day Nazis of nepal. Stop it already before we are all engulfed in this fire of hatred.

Rather, spend your time bettering yourself and competing, against all the barriers setup by the current establishments in Nepal and nepali society. Nepal will survive and it will not be a failed estate. I do not want "MONGOL" nepal to be absorbed by China and "ARYAN" Nepal to be taken over by India. NO NO NO ... so stop this hateful discusions and go do ONE thing good to benefit Nepal today - it does not have to be big ... it can be as little as anything...

Raybati-ji, the discussion is not about anti-Bahun nor anti Mongloid. But it is getting interesting particularly when people have different opinion about the complexcity of the Bahunbad. Of course, we definitely get into these topics, why not? We are not provoking that Bahun should get united or non-Bahun should get united against Bahun. If you perceive in this way, sorry, this thread is not useful to you. Rather you give your better comment in other threads.

Rajankhanal Ji, with all due respect, when the disussion completely relates to bahun and chetris and serves to generate new sterotypes of them as being involved in Drugs, organized crimes, and pornography... I failed to see how the discussion is anything but an instigating tool for Bahun Chetri haters ... and I have seen enough thread at sajha to say that there are a lot of B-H haters at Sajha.

Rather than focus on "individuals" we should focus on the system. The Nepali SYSTEM has to be changed. Our "mentality" has to be changed. We have to behave and be a house united at these times of terror and dispair. We can not afford to be a house divided.

And HOUSE divided is exactly what this discussion is leading us to.
