Dear Sir/Madam,

Petition Summary

Enact Brahmins (Prevention of atrocities) act

Stop Hate Speech targeting Brahmins - Brahmophobia

Petition to Honourable President of India, Honourable Prime Minister of India, Honourable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India

We hereby humbly request you to enact "Brahmin (Prevention of atrocities Act).

Some Key reasons for our request are given below:

    -Systemic Brahmin hate propaganda was started during colonial era.


   - It was part of a Bharatiya civilisational destruction project aimed towards destruction of indigenous culture, traditions, and knowledge systems. 


   - Brahmins just happen to be in the way and are being targeted first.  Since civilisational knowledge transmission belongs to all communities, after Brahmin hate has succeeded, all other communities will be targeted one by one until the civilisation is made extinct.


    - The inevitable consequence of Brahmin hate propaganda is Brahmin genocide, Hindu extinction, and eventual destruction of the Bharatiya civilisation.   


   - Brahmin hate speech (termed as Brahmophobia) is either normalised in some main stream media or is not challenged thereby giving it a ‘free pass.’  


    -  Social media is replete with Brahmin hate propaganda. Research studies have shown that Online hate has real world consequences and can lead to violence (& in the case of Myanmar, social media platform was used to incite off-line violence)


   - Some Globally organised nonstate actors (or possibly state funded actors) are investing time and resources in creating and circulating Brahmophobia material in social media,


    - The Government itself (either wittingly or unwittingly) has propagated racist Aryan Invasion theory through school text books, creating a ‘us versus them’ narrative and the seeds of hatred which have been planted in young minds for many decades in the past has now grown to a giant tree.


    - Independent India witnessed Brahmin Genocide in the aftermath of Mahatma Gandhiji’s assassination.


   - Kashmiri Pandit community was ethnic cleansed and made refugees in their own country, for the only fault of being born as Pandits.  The perpetrators of this Genocide were not punished . A global campaign was carried out by vested interests to white wash this genocide by using terms like' migration', 'displacement'.


   - The recent book titled “Brahmin Genocide: A Precursor to Hindu Extinction” documents the colonial origins of systemic hate speech against Brahmins, various instances of Brahmin massacres during last 2000 years. It also shares current evidence of Brahmophobia (Hate speech targeting Brahmins) in mainstream media, social media, some NGOs, public figures and more.   The book also discusses the question of ‘why a separate law is required for prevention of atrocities against Brahmins’ who constitute a minority population in many states of India and are being subjected to Brahmophobia. We have sent a copy of this book to your office for kind perusal.   


    - New Zealand legal luminary Jeremy Waldron in the book “The harm in hate speech” argues that hate speech damages inclusiveness and dignity, two crucial pillars on which modern democratic state is built. We quote Prof. Waldron below: (bold face added for emphasis)
      “A person’s dignity is not just some Kantian aura. It is their social standing, the fundamentals of basic reputation that entitle them to be treated as equals in the ordinary operations of society. Their dignity is something they can rely on—in the best case implicitly and without fuss, as they live their lives, go about their business, and raise their families. The publication of hate speech is calculated to undermine this. Its aim is to compromise the dignity of those at whom it is targeted, both in their own eyes and in the eyes of other members of society.”



  - Article 21 of our Indian constitution states as follows:
    'No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law".


   - The Honourable Supreme Court held in Ram Sharan Autyanuprasi v. Union of India (MANU/SC/0406/1988 : AIR 1989 Supreme Court 549) that the right to life enshrined in Article 21 of the Constitution would include all that gives meaning to a man’s life namely, his tradition, culture, heritage and protection of that heritage in its full measure


  -  Article 12 of The   Universal Declaration of Human rights (UDHR) proclaimed in the UN General Assembly is quoted below: 

    No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home, or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attack. 

    - Hate speech targeted against Brahmin community is in violation of Article 14 and 15(1) which guarantees that the state shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, caste, sex, place of birth, or any of them and would not be subject to any disability, liability, restriction.

    Hence, we humbly request you for enacting the ‘Brahmins (Prevention of Atrocities) Act’.
