The vipras’ (priests’) crooked thinking blends with the vaeshya-like economic intellect of these pseudo- capitalists, but the pseudo-vaeshyas do not possess any of the good qualities of either the vaeshyas or the vipras (priests/intellectuals)… In their efforts to perpetuate their exploitation without hindrance, the pseudo-capitalists make use not only of their economic intellect but also of whatever other intellectual capacities they possess. By hook or by crook they even seize governmental power. They then use that power as an instrument of exploitation, a cruel machine to ruthlessly pulverize the whole of society. – Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar Fundamental Principles of PROUT No individual should be allowed to accumulate any physical wealth without 1 the clear permission or approval of the collective body There should be maximum utilization and rational distribution of all mun- 2 dane, supra mundane and spiritual potentialities of the universe There should be maximum utilization of the physical, metaphysical and spiri- 3 tual potentialities of unit and collective body of the human society. There should be a proper adjustment amongst these physical, metaphysical, 4 mundane, supra mundane and spiritual utilizations. The method of utilization should vary in accordance with the changes in time, 5 space and person and the utilization should be of progressive nature. 4 /// Proutjournal.com / JULY 2018 From the Editor’s Desk SACRIFICE The pictures below are of Palestine. The first is the picture of the ugly wall dividing this land due to religious hatred just like walls divide Bharatavarsha into 3 nations due to religious hatred. These partitions have poisoned the soul of each of the so-called independent nations. But these so-called nations of Bharatavarsh are united in allowing a handful of people of elite castes to exploit the people, control most of the land and leave the majority of the population facing drought, malnutrition, mafia lawlessness, massive looting of public wealth by these criminal elites who fly overseas where they have stashed their stolen money. Exactly 60 years ago, the Preceptor of PROUT, Shrii Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar made the following judgement in Gorakhpur: “The establishment of a classless society is only possible for those who accept Parama Purus’a [Supreme Consciousness] as the goal of their lives, for those whose entire mental power is ceaselessly directed towards one supreme goal. In a society where there is no class struggle, the remaining classes will have to disappear and all people will have to unite under the banner of one common ideology. This can only be done by sadvipras, and therefore, for the future welfare of the universe, a [benevolent] sadvipra dictatorship is an absolute necessity. The establishment of such an ideal is not possible within the democratic system because candidates depend on petty thieves, hardened criminals and antisocial elements for votes. Able and competent candidates are defeated in elections when the issues of casteism, provincialism, communalism, etc., are raised.” (Synthesis and Analysis) This judgement is even more true today than it was 60 years ago. And it was one year later in June of 1959 that Shrii Sarkar gave the first discourse on PROUT explaining the concept of Sadvipra in more detail. At that time, the government of India was not totally enslaved. Today, the world economy is in serious crisis hence there is enormous pressure to rob India. Everything in India is for sale - forests, coastlines, Red Fort, railway stations and above all human beings. In recent days, Cobrapost revealed that almost all media groups were willing to carry out political propaganda for a price. In the last year 1% of the wealthiest people captured 73% of the nation’s wealth. Unemployment is reaching all-time low and the government has stopped keeping statistics. All Prime Ministers are chamchas of the Ambanis and the Ambanis are the chamchas of the Rothschilds

Millions of Dalit or "lower" castes and Adivasis (the indigenous tribal people) have suffered centuries of systemic repression, exclusion and stigma at the hands of "upper" castes. The same forces that have perpetuated caste discrimination are also spearheading India's seemingly relentless drift away from secularism and religious pluralism, especially over the course of the last three years. In 2016, a global index of human rights and social and religious freedoms by Pew Research Center placed India among the worst 10 of the world’s 198 countries when judged for “social hostilities.” The situation of religious minorities in India has seen a steady decline during much of independent India's history, on account of their cynical manipulation by various political parties, as well as the onslaught of a hateful and divisive ideology that has sought to impose Hindu political and cultural hegemony.

    The Muslim 'Threat' in Right Wing Narratives

    The Muslim ‘Threat’ In Right Wing Narratives: A Critical Discourse Analysis Mohammad Omar SOAS SOUTH ASIA INSTITUTE WORKING PAPER SERIES 2021 UNIVERSITY OF LONDON SSAI WORKING PAPER SERIES 2021 THE MUSLIM ‘THREAT’ IN RIGHT WING NARRATIVES: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS BY MOHAMMAD OMAR (SOAS UNIVERSITY OF LONDON) THE MUSLIM ‘THREAT’ IN RIGHT-WING NARRATIVES: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS This paper attempts to analyse the impact of right-wing narratives propagated with State support, and how they normalise extremism against a particular community by drawing the ruling majoritarian government in India. The growing popularity of the right-wing and the victory of the Bharatiya Janta Party in the Lok Sabha elections of 2014 led to a rise in the anti-Muslim rhetoric by overcoming obstacles towards fully embracing the Hindutva rhetoric, which has the effect of mainstreaming anti-Muslim myths and narratives. These narratives play into events leading to mainstreaming the Muslim as a ‘threat’ legitimising right-wing extremism against Muslims. This normalisation of extremism and state complicity has facilitated the emergence of a de-facto (in practice) Hindu Rashtra in the form of cultural nationalism.
