Karl Marx documented the economy-based so-called progressive and classical theory which was later on modified to the Cultural Marxism theory of the Frankfurt School in Germany and was popularized between the two world wars as introduction of cultural, social, psychological, and educational aspects, etc. This theory had echoes from previous Antinio Francisco Gramsci, the founder of the Communist Party of Italy. His focus was locating problems, and finding their solutions with discussions and discourse rather to go for physical revolution. Developmental modifications of Marxism and then cultural marxism, critical, and hegemony theories progressed in Europe and had repercussions in the United States of America. A new theory based on the academic and legal framework developed in the USA divided society into blacks (oppressed) and whites (oppressor). which was first called Critical Legal Theory and later became famous as Critical Race Theory (CRT).
CRT (Critical Race Theory)
It is said to address the systemic biases in the legal structure of the US and states that:
“The law supports the interests of those who create laws…a power dynamic which favors the historically privileged; and disadvantages the historically underprivileged…The wealthy and powerful use the law as an instrument for oppression to maintain their place in the hierarchy”.
CRT is based upon legal and academic values and states that racism has been prevalent and is an integral part of American society which differentiates between individuals on the grounds of education, housing, and healthcare. CRT grossly denotes that American society is divided into “BLACKS and WHITES, oppressed and oppressors”. The existing disunity of society got impetus when George Floyd Jr. an African-American got murdered and killed by a police officer in Minneapolis during an arrest on some charge, on 25th May 2020. The issue was one of the main reasons for the defeat of Republican President Donald Trump in the election.
FRAME WORK
During the foreign rule particularly by the British the profession-based “Varan Vayavastha” had been modified to the birth-based “Caste System”. The votaries of CRT have launched a further offensive to equate Caste with Race. The marginalized communities of India are named the BLACKS and upper Caste people particularly the Brahmins as WHITES. The minorities, the Muslims, and others are clubbed together as one entity. September-10-2021 under this agenda,” DISMANTLING GLOBAL HINDUTVA” an attempt was made to bring together Left inclined leading scholars in “South Asian studies and public commentators” on Indian politics around the world to castigate the philosophy of Hindutva.
In the recent past, the incident at Delhi’s (JNU) Jawahar Lal Nehru University has reflected the idea of CRT where controversial slogans were marked on the walls of the School of International Studies on the university campus. The slogans read “Brahmin-Baniya, we are coming for you”, “We will avenge”, “Brahmins Leave the campus”, “Brahmins leave India”, “Now there will be blood”, “Go back to Sakha” and others. The slogans specifically target upper-caste Hindu communities. Reacting to this hooligans by agents of CRT in India Manoj Muntashir, a renowned writer and lyricist slammed the anti-Brahmin slogans at JNU in a video entry-view in a news channel.
HISTORICAL ASPECTS
Since the era before Christ, India has been facing the onslaught of invasion across Hindukush and then through the sea route. Despite large-scale blood shed and plunders, she has been able to manage its culture and civilization. All the communities fought against the series of turmoil but the Brahmin (literate) community has played a significant role since the ages. Saints like Vishit, Valmiki, Vyas, Vidhur, Mahavir Gautam, Shankracharya, Pushyamitra, Aryabhata, Bhaskara- charya, Varamihira, Vivekananda, Dayanand, Jhansi ki Rani, Tatyatope, Mangal Pandey, a lot of revolutionaries RamPrasad Bismil, Chanderashekhar Azad and many others were either Brahmins or literary, practiced as Brahmins. Manoj Muntashir said. “We are the kingmakers; Brahmins never hankered after power. ” Manoj Muntashir said adding that some people think Brahmins divided the society into castes but it is not the fact, he said. Brahmins represent the head of India and it should never be bowed down, Manoj Muntashir added.
SNAKES IN THE GANGA
Rajeev Malhotra and Vijaya Viswanathan have exposed the conspiracy of CRT in Breaking India 2 in their book with the title mentioned above “Snakes in the Ganga” described how the CRT stooges are playing tricks in dismantling the oldest living civilization in India. This movement is more often also called as “Woke Movement” whose mission is to destabilize and decimate the fast-developing nation of India.
