*Beni Madhab Ray* *of Bengal*

*Beni Madhab Ray* *of Bengal* ...and meanwhile I discovered on this Saturday that Bangladesh is now counting on the Pakistani army for their defence - the very army that killed millions of Bangladeshis in 1971, here are a few point of views, few stray thoughts & a few random observations (all my own work): That once again the newsrooms across the country continue to speak in muffled voices this week, as Breaking News keep pouring in only from Bengal, which most media orgs want to suppress in a bid to cover up for Mamata. Although Rahul Baba desperately went overboard with his clowning act, wanting to seek Dalit reservation in Miss India pageants, but the news-media refused the bait… Mamata too threatened to burn down the country, but one image that caught the fancy of the social media & the country at large was that of a lone sanyasi in saffron robes, waving the tricolour in face of the watery onslaught of Mamata’s rogue police… One sanyasi, just one? And people are already seeing a resurgence of Sanatan in Mamata’s sharia badlands? How’s that even possible? For starters, meet Balaram Bose, the lone sanyasi to square up to Mamata’s despotism. He’s the grandson of Kamal Bose - the former mayor of Kolkata, and the great grandson of Bhupendra Bose, a former President of the Indian National Congress… Strong lineage apart, Balaram Bose also holds a M.Tech. degree & is passionate about teaching Maths. And despite being a millionaire landlord, Bose chose to relinquish it all a decade ago & become a sanyasi… Yeah, he’s literally that monk who sold his Ferrari… Fine, but why is it that this image of a lone Sanyasi sends such shivers down the spines of Mamata’s jihadis? I mean what can a Sanyasi pull off in Bengal anyways? Well, the British too once thought the same in the 1770s & after a bitter famine, imposed severe taxes on Bengal, including a Pilgrimage Tax on sanyasis & hermits wanting to travel to their holy temples… Then, the sanyasis of Bengal were mainly Shaivite - from the Giri & Dashnami orders, who were also engaged in farming. They answered only to God & immediately rebelled against the British. Warren Hastings writes, “In 1772 sanyasis defeated a company of sepoys and killed captain Thomas. In 1773, captain Edward also suffered a disastrous defeat. Further encounters between British and sanyasis took places all over Bengal and Bihar.” The British tried every ugly trick in the book, but the sanyasis battered the Brits for around 2 decades. Hastings was frustrated, “they appeared in the heart of the province, as if they dropped from heaven. They are hardy, bold and enthusiastic to a degree surpassing credit. such are the Senassies, the gipsies of Hinduism.” Soon the sanyasi rebellion organised itself under the Brahmin nayab of a zamindari, Pandit Bhavani Pathak & the feisty Devi Chowdhurani, and unleashed hell on their British tormentors. And it was only through deceit & duplicity that the Brits finally quashed the sanyasi rebellion… Yeah, I know what y’all might say here: this history too was buried by the Left… Indeed, 1857 too was buried until Veer Savarkar brought forth the true history & although Bhavani Pathak & Devi Chowdhurani were immortalised in Bankim Chandra Chatterjee's novels of ‘Anandmath’ & ‘Devi Chowdhurani’, the stories remain largely buried… Mind you, Anandmath also gave us ‘Vande Mataram’ & I’ve personally seen small temples of Bhavani Pathak & Devi Chowdhurani outside Siliguri. All said, the Sanyasi rebellion may not be celebrated today, but today’s dictators like Mamata understand their significance… One Sanyasi standing up against her autocratic machinery might bring in millions more who’ve nothing to lose & that’s scaring all the mlecchas of Bengal… And as Benjamin Franklin says: Rebellion against tyrants is indeed obedience to God… That speaking of rebellions, Pandit Bhavani Pathak & Devi Chowdhurani at least got their due in Bengali literature, but there’s one giant that Bengal forgot - or rather, Bengal was made to forget, and that is BeniMadhab Ray. Lemme tell you his tale… It was the 16th century & jihadis were wreaking havoc everywhere in Bengal. From destroying temples to defiling vigrahas to stealing Hindu women - they were raping the land, unchallenged & unquestioned… Enter BeniMadhab Ray; he was a typical practising Brahmin of those days, a Sanskrit scholar to boot… But when jihadis abducted his wife, Ray knew that the only answer to this problem was to become a Kshatriya. Bingo, so he joined warrior Gobindo Singha & became a feared swordsman. And after Singha’s death, Ray assumed leadership of his group & became known as Pandit Dakat aka the pandit dacoit… Beware, his claim to fame was that he used to offer bali (sacrifice) of Jihadis on every Amavasya night at the feet of his worshipped goddess, Maa Yavanamardini Kali & dump their bodies in the water around his island hideout afterwards. Whoah… Ray kept those heads & made a mound from them, but never touched any Hindu - be it a peasant or a landlord. Hindus understood that dacoity was not Ray’s profession & would voluntarily put money, clothes & food in front of their homes, for his benefit. But then he was a terror to Islamists & that prompted the Mughal emperor Akbar to send Raja Man Singh to battle him… However, the zamindars advised Man Singh to make peace with Ray, as his support base was very wide. Eventually, Man Singh had to promise peace & respect to all the Hindus in Bengal, alongwith curbing all Islamist terror activities. The trick he used to convince Ray was the ruse of how “Akbar was a Hindu in his past life”... The hostilities ceased & Ray retired to Brahmacharya… The island in Chalan Beel where he lived is still known as the “Pandit Dakater Bhita” (পণ্ডিত ডাকাতের ভিটা), although the Pathans called it “Shaitan ka Bhita” خانه شیطان (Residence of the Devil)... Wow… Four centuries later, Bengal is yet again facing the dark nights of Amavasya, although there’s no Pandit Dakat to save the land… You can imagine the level of emasculation of Bengali Hindus that four centuries later, the Ray that they know is not BeniMadhab Ray, but Siddharta Shnakar Ray, a Congress bootlicker who pushed Indira G into imposing Emergency & who kinda birthed the current monster of TMC via his prodigy in Mamata, who’s now hellbent on squashing down everybody standing in front of her - be it an old Sanyasi bearing the tricolour… Ahh, she better remember what JFK had warned about: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable… That while on forgetting our history, it’s now very crucial for the Hindus to understand which history of ours is being whitewashed & why it's done so. For every chapter of our glorious history that’s been torn off by the Leftist historians, you gotta do a deep dive to understand the reason why & only then y’all might understand the devious manner in which Hindus are being short-circuited from their own lands… So why’s the history of BeniMadhab Ray not on the tip of the tongue of every Bengali Hindu? Why no tomes or films on BeniMadhab Ray exist? Because if every other Hindu Bengali kid grew up glorifying Yavanamardini Kali, then every other perp of Sandeshkhali would’ve lost his head for merely casting an evil eye on the Hindu womenfolk… Every other Hindu woman in Bangladesh would’ve walked safe today, had BeniMadhab Ray been lionised for centuries now… Also, every other Congress-Left politician would’ve fared badly in the absence of a pampered Islamist vote-bank… There; that’s the reason… Tales of such heroic values have implications for generations. Remember how Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s glorious yet short reign kept Marathas motivated for centuries later… Yeah, so every piece of our obliterated illustrious history helps the Left to give a free pass to their beloved mlechchha vote-bank… Remember how we keep talking of how the Ahom history of Assam never got its due? Yup, the kingdom that even the Mughals couldn’t topple is nowhere to be found in our history books… Why? Well, the reason to hide everything about Ahoms is even more sinister… To begin with, Ahoms were not Indians & never Hindus… They came from a region which is Southwestern China today & they followed their local animistic religion. When they rose to power in the 13th century, it was only their religion that was followed in the kIngdom, their language that was used for administration & only their co-religionists were treated as royals and assigned top-posts in their reign… Yup, if a local Hindu had to rise in their reign, he had to convert to their faith. Although, all that changed in the 16th century, when the Ahoms realised that their kingdom now had more Hindus than Ahoms & that enforcing their religion in this new land that they called home now was not fair anymore… Ergo, they converted wholesale into Hinduism, took up Hindu names & practices, and even adopted the entire Hindu gods pantheon… Yup, all those foreigners chose to become Hindus, as this became their new motherland… And that’s exactly why their history was whitewashed from our textbooks… Uhh, but why? C'mon... Because Islamists as foreigners also came to this land during the same time, launched their kingdoms here & yet refuse to call this country their motherland, 10 centuries later… If the Ahom example had gained traction in this country, everybody would’ve turned around & questioned the morality of Islamists who even today proudly declare how they’re still Afghans or Turks, despite several generations being born in Bharat… Yup, the more y’all understand Ahom history, the more y’all might question the Islamic history, and again that’s bad for the vote-bank, no? Too bad that the gory Islamist history couldn’t stay hidden behind the veneer for too long… Or as the Chinese proverb goes: A whitewashed crow soon shows black again… The chaiwallah feels that the Mamata’s government has tarnished down the Bengali image into a profanity: “
