பயன்படுத்தி எடுத்த எடுப்பிலேயே தாம் விரும்பும் மூன்று அதிகார மையங்களைக் கைப்பற்றிக் கொள்ளும். மூன்று புலிகள்
சேர்ந்து ஒரே நேரத்தில் ஆட்டத்திற்குள் நுழைந்தது போல, ஆடுகள்
ஒரே நேரத்தில் அத்தனையும் சேர்ந்தோ அல்லது மூன்று மூன்றாகவோ ஆட்டத்திற்குள் நுழைய முடியாது. அவை ஒவ்வொரு முறைக்கும் ஒவ்வொன்றாக
மட்டுமே ஆட்டத்திற்குள் நுழைந்து மீதம் உள்ள அதிகார மையங்களில் ஒவ்வொரு அதிகார
மையமாகக் கைப்பற்ற முயல வேண்டும்.
புலிகள் ஆக்கிரமித்துள்ள
அதிகார மையங்களுக்கு அருகே உள்ள அதிகார மையங்களைப் பிடிப்பதற்குக் கூட ஆடுகள் ஆசைப்படக்கூடாது; ஆசைப்பட முடியாது. மீறி அருகே உள்ள அதிகார மையங்களைப் பிடிகக ஆசைப் பட்டு

The ‘Goats & Tigers’ Game
There is an ancient board game called “Goats
and Tigers”. It is known as
Aadu-Puli Aattam in Tamil, Puli Kali in Malayalam, Puli Judam or Puli Meka in
Telugu, Aadu Huli Gatta in Kannada and Bagh Chal in the North. In this game, fifteen
goats are positioned on one side and three tigers on the other. There are 29
locations in the game, each representing a power centre. The game begins always
with the Tiger side making the first move. But the tigers do not enter the game
one by one. All three tigers enter the game together as a group and occupy three
positions of their choice, simultaneously, in the very first move itself. It is
only thereafter that the goats begin to enter the game.
Unlike the tigers, the fifteen goats cannot make joint entry and occupy fifteen positions of their choice on their very first move itself. They have to make entry into the game only one by one. But with each goat’s entry, the tigers can make a corresponding move – aimed either at killing a goat or, at least, to frighten it away from the power centre occupied by it. In other words, the three tigers which had made use of the privilege made available to them and thereby occupied the three power centres of their choice at the initial move itself, do work, now, in unison and in close co-ordination with one another, to prevent the goats from occupying even the remaining power centres.
And this, precisely, is what is happening in
the Indian polity too. A minority segment constituting about 5% of the total
population of India is ruling the roost and riding roughshod over the rest of
the 95%, and that too, with more ferocity after 2014, because that minority
segment has strategically captured three critical power centres and is using
those power centres almost as its own to advance its own interests. These three
power centres are (I) the Intelligence Wing, (ii) the Priesthood and (iii) the Higher
Judiciary.
1. Intelligence Wing
Reservation in public employment was
created formally by enacting law, first
in the history of the subcontinent, in c. 300 BC, by Chanakya in the era of
Chandragupta Maurya, after his ascension, in 323 BC, Chanakya ordained in his
Arthasastra, “Those of Brahman caste and learned in the Vedas, as well as
ascetics, shall only be subjected to espionage”- (Page 251-Book V.-
Arthasastra- by R. Shamasastry – Mysore
Printing and Publishing House -1967 Edition). It remains the domain of
Brahmins since then, except during some intermittent periods in the history of
the sub-continent. Intelligence wing is always the most important part
of every government, its nerve centre. Chanakya had commanded to his
descendants to ensure that that nerve centre, the calm but most powerful
power-centre, to be manned only by the Brahmins and to remain their exclusive
domain in every nation.
2300 years later, in the year 2010
AD, SM Mushrif, former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Maharashtra, and
author of “Who Killed Karkare: The real face of terrorism in India”. gave an
overview of different chapters of the book, on 22.09.2010. He said that
Brahminist forces have strong hold on Indian investigative agencies, including
the Intelligence Bureau (IB). He had also explained in his book how Brahmins were manipulating the
agency to advance Brahmin interests. He has explained in his book the cruel
manner in which Karkare had been killed through conspiracy.
It is a fact that the Brahmins have, after the exit of
the British, appropriated the intelligence wing of the government, like the
RAW, IB, CBI, etc., for themselves. All citizens of India do not have equal
opportunity for appointment there. It is a Brahmin stronghold. Only their
relatives and friends are appointed. Mode of appointment is nothing but
personal recommendation. Brahmins are, by birth, entitled to be appointed in
RAW. It is not for nothing that the RAW came to be called in intellectual
circles as the Relatives and Associates Wing. It is only when the presently
sectarian RAW is made to be monitored by a multi-party and multi-religious
committee of the elected Members of Parliament, that India will turn to the
path of egalitarian society that cares for the welfare of all the people of
India and not for protecting and promoting the Brahmin-Supremacist-Theory. There
should be proportionate representation of the people of all castes and
religions in the top level posts of the RAW to wean it away from working only
for sectarian interests as it does now.
It
is a fact that just because, four percent of the Sikhs got recruited to ten
percent of the posts in the armed forces, the Central bureaucrats found it
intolerable and restricted the appointment of Sikhs proportionate to their
population, introducing an euphemistic formula that to restrict the appointment
in proportion of the population of a state. Words are considered as more
powerful than swords. If, according to the Brahmanical diktats, more Sikhs in
the army than their proportion in the population poses danger tot h nation, then more Brahmins
in the RAW, IB, CBI and other intelligence wings pose more danger to the
nation.
“When
Kuldip Nayar was the High Commissioner in London, he discovered that the RAW
official in charge of visas was officially turning down visa application from
Sikhs who, it was later discovered, were not on the list of Home Ministry’s
list of suspected terrorist sympathisers. The RAW man blithely assumed that he
was accountable to no one in London, not even to the High Commissioner”( Column
by Coomi Kapoor – Indian Express - 18.08.1991)
The dangerous phenomenon of encroachment of the sensitive departments by the Brahmins should be put an end to forthwith. Monitoring the agencies by multi party and multi-religious MPs is the first step towards that goal.
2.
Priesthood
The native Dravidian’s system of worship was idolatry, i.e., puja (Poo –sai – Neri) to a concrete religious symbol that enables an average man to love, perceive and comprehend his God. The Dravidians used to worship God with water, leaves and flowers. The migrant Brahmins’ system of worship was ‘yagna’, the imageless worship. The Vedic Brahmins lit fire and threw animals into it to propitiate their God. They believed that the fire was the messenger who carried their message to their God. This is the fundamental difference between the religions of the migrant Brahmins and the natives Non-Brahmins. The Rig Veda itself records this fact in Verse I-1008, as under: “Their practices are all different;They are not men! O! Destroyer of Foes! Kill them, destroy the Dasa race.”
Thus, until
600 BC, the Vedic religion did not accept idolatry and only the simple form of
nature worship was followed. Manu condemns as unfit for the Brahmins to
practice the professions of temple-priests (III, 151-166) who classified the
temple-priests along with liquor – vendors.
And, it was only during the sub-Buddha era, i.e., after the era of Swetaswatara Upanishad, they changed their tactics to infiltrate into the temples of the natives to acquire control over civil society of the natives. It is significant to note that Aryans did not know and did not have temples for worship, till then. “There is no mention of temples or statues of gods in the Rigveda” (Page - 44 - Advanced History of India - K. A. Neelakanta Sastri).
They
started mixing up their non-idolatrous Vedic religion with the idolatrous
religion of the natives. “The cosmic religion of Vedic Aryans tended
towards anthropomorphism, but it was not idolatrous” (R.N. Dandekar-The
Cosmic order in the Vedic hymns – Page 7 –Records of Civilization-Sources of
Indian Tradition- Oxford University Press). The substitution of a personal
God called Hari in place of the abstract idea of a universal soul” (R C
Majumdar) took place in the Bagavatha religion which was of the 6th century
BC only. Vaishnavism was, thus, a later
invention and introduction by the Brahmins. Ramayana was a fiction written,
later in the second century B.C, to propagate their new religion by deriding
the natives, the worshippers of Siva and glorifying Vishnu.
They soon started propagating their theory that
the entry of natives into the sanctum sanctorum of those temples would pollute
both the temple and God. That policy of Apartheid is effectively enforced by
them till date. Even today, i.e., even 2500 years later, they maintain the
same stand. During the history spanning over millennia, Brahmins abused the
temples for various political purposes. Even today, they are doing so. The
video available in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKxHRtYxjFE
would testify to the fact how the Brahmins do not care for the sanctity of the
temples and use the premises and functions for cunningly promoting their
political interests. The Brahmin priest in the video is administering oath to
the devotees who had assembled for prayer, to vote and not to vote for the
political parties, as per his prejudice and predilections. He abuses the temple
premises. He wants to create fear in the minds of the women devotees that they
should vote only for the party that the priest hinted at. Is there any agamic
prescription for such an oath? No. The priest does not care. Because, his real
religion is a Vedic one which is not idolatrous and that he has infiltrated
into this temple only for his temporal needs. He is practising real priest
‘craft’.

The sanctum sanctorum
of the temple is the place where the virus of apartheid is still alive and
kicking. It is like the plague virus still kept alive in the laboratory of
Maryland. Apartheid and untouchability
can be abolished in India only when Vedic-Brahmin monopoly is abolished in the
Sanctum Sanctorum. Brahmins want the caste system and apartheid to continue.
Sankarachari of Kanchipuram declares openly that the Brahmins are superior,
Vedas are to be studied only by them and that the caste system should be
resurrected once again.
That is why Brahmins
make desperate attempts not to restore to the Non-Brahmins the priesthood in
the temples in which the Brahmins alone officiate as priests, in spite of the
Elayaperumal Committee’s findings of 1969 (Committee on Untouchability,
Economic and Educational Development of the Scheduled Castes and Connected
Documents) for making people of all castes as priests. They use variety of
tactics, till date, to claim that their age-old practice of exploitation should
be accepted as their traditional right to exploit.
3. Higher Judiciary
The Law of Manu held the field prior to the era of Mahaveer and Buddha. It was anterior to Arthasastra which was written by Chanakya c. 300 BC. But the Law of Manu was codified and reduced to writing only later in the first century BC. That law mandates Brahmin predominance and even monopoly of the higher judiciary. Verse 1 of Chapter 8 makes it necessary for the king to enter the Court to decide judicial disputes, accompanied by the Brahmins and experienced advisors. Brahmin presence in the Bench is made mandatory thus. The Verse concerned says, “A king, desirous of investigating law cases, must enter his court of justice, preserving a dignified demeanour, together with Brahmanas and with experienced councillors.”
Verse 9 of Chapter 8 goes further and equates the Brahmin with the king in judicial role and says, “But if the king does not personally investigate the suits, then let him appoint a learned Brahmana to try them. Thus, in Single Bench courts, a single Brahmin could replace the king and rule as he desired.
If the king considers that there should be larger Bench to
decide certain disputes, there should be 75% reservation for Brahmins in that Full Bench consisting of four
judges. Verse 11 of Chapter 8 runs thus: “Where three Brahmanas
versed in the Vedas and the learned (judge) appointed by the king sit down,
they call that the court of (four-faced) Brahman” (Translated by G. Buhler).
On 04.01.2024, the Supreme Court Observer says that “Even in a mostly full-strength Court, there was a startling lack of representation of religious minorities, women & marginalised communities”.
No other polyglot or multi-cultural nation does permit this kind of oligopoly. Elaborate details regarding the practice followed in the plural societies like Switzerland, the United Kingdom and South Africa had been published in this magazine in the edition of June 2023.

Conclusion
There should be no place for this kind of game of Goats & Tigers in a civilised society.
It is time intelligence agencies are put under the control of Multi-party and Multi-religious committees o Members of Parliament.
It is essential that the people of all castes are posted as priests at all the levels in all the temples in which Brahmins alone officiate as priests.
It is also proper that the the appointment to higher judiciary is made in a transparent manner the way it is done in the Republic of South Africa and Kenya, where the interviews for the posts of Chief Justice is telecst live.
Also, the judges should be made accountable the way they were made in the pre-Chanakya era as found recorded in the Arthasastra. It is time the Bill for Judicial Standards and Accountability, intended to bring some token accountability on judges, passed by the Lok Sabha in 2012 and introduced in Rajya Sabha in 2013 but not passed there be made law, to make a new beginning.
The day we start moving in these directions is
the day of dawn and redemption for all the people of India.
