Marxism’s core ideology is to divide the society into ‘oppressor’ and ‘oppressed’ groups, inflame continuous conflict between them, leading to anarchy, violence and destruction. In ‘Classical Marxism’ the basis of this division was economic – rich vs poor or capitalists vs labour. However, as the economic condition of the working classes improved, they turned their backs on Communism and happily participated in the prosperity that was being created in the democratic, capitalist countries.
In search of faultlines that would never be obliterated and the conflict across them would never end, they shifted the basis of societal division from economic to cultural parameters, like upper castes vs lower castes, men vs women, majority vs minority etc. Their effort is to impose guilt on the so called ‘oppressor’ groups and victimhood on the so called ‘oppressed’ groups, thus making the society fragile and dependent on the government for everything – an ideal situation for Communism.
Unlike economic parameters, oppression across cultural faultlines is intangible. The ‘oppressed’ can be easily convinced that inspite of the economic progress made by them, they are still being discriminated against, just because of their group identity as a Dalit or an OBC. For example, if a general category student refuses a Dalit student’s request to lend him his pen, the latter can be easily convinced that he was refused only because of his caste. Making even a friendly, light hearted comment on anyone from the ‘oppressed’ groups becomes ‘violence’ and is categorised as a horrible crime.
What is in the bill?
The bill aims to protect students belonging to the scheduled castes (SC), scheduled tribes (ST) and other backward classes (OBC) and minorities from acts of exclusion and injustice based on social, economic or religious backgrounds
Offences under the legislation will be non-bailable and cognisable. Every person who discriminates and everyone who aids/abets in any such incident are liable for punishment
The bill provides for setting up special courts to ensure speedy trials of offences and the appointment of at least 1 special public prosecutor for every special court and 1 in each Bench of the High Court
If passed and enacted, the first offence under the Bill will attract a year-long imprisonment and a fine of ₹10,000 and empower the courts to grant compensation payable by the accused to the victim which can extend to ₹1 lakh
In case of repeat offence, the accused will be penalised with a 3-year jail term coupled with a ₹1 lakh fine
If the institution violates the provision of being “open to all classes, castes, creed, gender or nation,” it will attract a similar penalty
If the Bill is passed and enacted, the Karnataka government “shall not provide any financial aid or grant to such institution” violating the provisions of the Bill
These woke ideas are behind the horrific ‘Rohith Vemula Bill’ that the Congress govt. in Karnataka plans to introduce. This draconian law proposes to make such acts of ‘micro-aggression’ by a student from general category, against any student from Dalit, OBC or minority communities, a cognisable and non- bailable offense for which he/she can be imprisoned for one year and can be fined upto Rs 1 lakh. Worst still, the burden of proof lies with the person who is charged. It is a no brainer that such a bizarre, brazenly one sided law will be rampantly used for harassment, blackmail and settling personal scores. The word ‘minority’ has been clearly added to appease the Muslims. Categorising Muslims in Bharat as ‘oppressed’ and Hindus as ‘oppressors’ must rank as the cruelest joke.
Once your mind is possessed of this idea of ‘micro-aggression’, you tend to imagine insults in every interaction. This practically puts an end to any possibility of oppressor-oppressed conflict ever coming to an end, enabling the wokes to fan the flames of perceived injustice and to keep the country on the boil. Ironically, this is done in the name of ‘social justice.’ However, the Cultural Marxists have clearly stated that their aim is not to flatten the social hierarchies and end discrimination, but only to flip the positions. The earlier ‘oppressors’ must now be ‘oppressed’ and vice-versa, so that the cycle of conflict-anarchy-violence continues unabated, till the Marxist aim of complete destruction of the social order is achieved.
When you compare the provisions of this act with the Woke ideas mentioned above, there is no doubt about the ideological fountainhead of this law.
Congress still has some pro-nation, patriotic members. They must come together and resist such attempts to convert their party into a woke, urban naxal destructive force.
