Sat offers Hindus funding to write Indian history - chairman - 05-23-2014
YOUNG Hindus looking to write on the history of the East Indian diaspora in the West Indies may soon be funded by the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha (SDMS).
This, according to SDMS geneÂral secretary Satnarayan Maharaj, is an effort to counter the false hisÂtory being perpetuated by “the children of convertsâ€.
Maharaj made the statements on Wednesday at the launch yesterday of Food Production Minister Devant Maharaj’s (no relation) book, The Line of My Ancestors, which traces his family’s journey
and expansion into the New World.
The launch took place at the office of the principal at the University of the West Indies (UWI) campus in St Augustine.
Among those delivering remarks at the launch were UWI prinÂcipal Prof Clement Sankat, chair of the Catholic Commission for Social Justice and Devant Maharaj’s cousin Leela Ramdeen, Prof John La Guerre, and historian Angelo Bissessarsingh.
Sat Maharaj said falsehoods about the diaspora include attempts to turn into myth the “factâ€
that at least 13 per cent of the Indians who made the journey were, in their moÂtherland, of the “BraÂhmin†caste.
Among the qualities of “Brahmins†is strong leadership tendencies, Maharaj said, and efforts
have been made by some wriÂters
to make this fact appear to be a falsehood for, among other things, the sake of conversion from Hinduism.
Maharaj said a lot of young Hindus are now “seeing the truthâ€.
“For 100 years, the hisÂÂtory of East Indians has been written by the chilÂdren of converts,†Maharaj said.
“The Maha Sabha will soon be offering support to young Hindus who want to write history, not create it.â€

Common sense suggests that there is a difference between Brahmin by birth and Brahin by boat. How could one believe that the richest most elite caste in India had people who needed to be indentured labourers. Please.

India is the world's largest Democracy : what Caste system ?

Today I was in my daughter car and surprisingly on the front seat was a copy of Gaitri Bahadur ' " Collie woman"
She insisted that I should read it because she learned about her roots as she was born ya.
I was mystified as to why she would purchased that book but she explained that the word COLLIE caught her eye as she found the term offensive . . She, described it as a great read , the only criticism being that the author tried to make the assertion that the Indians crossing the ocean was more inhumane than the African slaves.
Strange that was also my observation when Krishna introduced the book in this forum .
I am now in the first chapter .. the magic box
