White converts and the "Caste System"

It's been a little while since I last posted and for the past year or so I have slowed down my physical presence on the Hindu scene, however as usual I have not given up, only reformulating my strategies. The Abrahamic religions are naturally proselyte religions, they are built and conceived upon the idea of conversion, and so the mechanisms for spreading these religions is inbuilt, the path toward the goal is more or less laid out for the Christian and the Muslim.  However, Hinduism existed before there was really any other religious competition, it's based upon universal perceived truths about the natural world around us, not revelation or a saving doctrine.  Hinduism has of course always accepted and inducted outlying tribes and peoples into the Vedic fold, however there has never really ever been a systematic method for spreading the eternal religion.  As a former Christian evangelist eager to spread the Vedas, this has been an issue of frustration for me, how to spread Hinduism?

My guru and the person who brought me to Hinduism always said, the only thing Hinduism needs is public relations, nothing more and nothing less. I have come to realize that my guru was correct, the best way to spread Hinduism is to simply expose the new people to it teachings, to make it ever more visible in their daily lives, and once they get a taste of Vedic Sanata Dharma, it sells itself.  I have been a Hindu for nearly seven years now, and I have enmeshed myself in it both physically and digitally. While I still believe that Hinduism needs more of a physical presence like temples, billboards, and street activism, online remains a robust medium for the transmission of our religion.  When I came to Hinduism only almost a decade ago, there seemed to be almost no White, Black or Hispanic Hindus anywhere, even online. Of course there was the random encounter, but it was rare and sometimes things felt lonely. But still I kept up my digital hunt for new followers, and within the past year or so, something has happened, a shift in the demographic of those interested in Hinduism. 

Unfortunately it is the tendency of humans to secretly know and understand certain social and cultural truths, but to hardly ever bring these truths up in public. Now our counterparts, the Abrahamics, they are also very aware of uncomfortable truths, however in many ways they have learned to silently weaponize them. Let me relay to you an experience I had some time ago, where I came to learn that a certain religious group had come up with a seemingly unscrupulous plan to convert Whites in the West.  You see, White Western culture is obviously more materialistic and body focused than most other cultures.  Men and women are encouraged to show and expose their bodies more than most other cultures and it has become the norm to experience public sexualization, especially through media and advertisement. While there have been recent movements to change the White culture's concept of beauty, it still remains a fact that thin, light eyed and light haired women tend to be held up as the epitome of what men want. 

Now we have many new cultures and races entering the West, many whom have a conversion and political agenda.  I came to speak to several women and was shown pamphlets and advertisements where young non-White male Muslims were encouraged to purposely seek and induct young White women who did not fit the stereotypical norm of beauty. It has been centuries now that the mostly non-White Muslim world has had little to do but sit and observe the White race, who has often and recently meddled in their affairs. It is no secret that militant Muslims have keenly studies the West and its many cultural weaknesses, one of them being the over-sexed body image culture. In much of the Muslim world women show very little of their body shape and face and so it is said that there is less stress on physical perfection.  However, the White women who is not thin, is darker, masculine or otherwise different has obviously come to feel self-conscious and this has lowered her self-esteem.  Non-White Muslims have been clever enough to pick on this cultural nuance and have created programs to exploit it, purposely flattering these women with attention with the aim of converting them. They have also openly advertised themselves to White women as a culture that is family oriented, offering the secular Western women a chance to be a mother and a housewife, something which she can find less and less of in her own culture. As crooked as these tactics may seem, they are working and both Whites and Hindus are losing the war. 

Now what I am about to discuss may makes many Hindus feel uncomfortable, however all is fair in love and war. It has of late begun to creep into the Indian Hindu's mind that there is a growing anxiety among the White races over their rapid demographic decline and their being subsumed by the incoming darker races. No race, Black, White, Brown or Yellow, would feel comfortable to see their kin declining in number and being enticed to a new and foreign religion.  The White race cannot be chastised for their concerns more than any other race as this itself would be a form of racism and would defy human nature so much that it would obviously end in social explosion. Now I myself was born at the very end of the White Christian era in America, as when I was a child the country seemed mostly White and mostly Christian, and so there was much less racial angst among Whites.  However, since then, the US has undergone massive ethnic and religious shifts to the point that the old White establishment feels apprehensive and threatened. It has become apparent to all that America is now undergoing the beginnings of religious and racial turmoil.

Now think as you will but I myself am also mostly White and have of course pondered the decline of my race as this is a natural impulse. To contemplate your racial destiny is not racism as every other race on earth is encouraged to do so. Now it would seem that I was born a half a generation too late, as my interest in racial questions did not seem to be held by my peers.  I delved into the racial questions posed by thinkers and reformers of the past century but found these to be often poisoned by White supremacism.  Anyone who researches the theories of "Aryanism" which were posed a hundred years ago will eventually come across ideas about the Hindu "Caste System". Almost every Hindu knows that the belief of the last century was that White "Aryans" from central Asia invaded India and established the Caste System to racially segregate themselves from the darker natives, and thus the so-called "higher castes" were associated with light skin while the "lower castes" were associated with dark skin. Whatever your opinion about the Aryan Invasion Theory is, you must admit that European concepts about this system shaped much of the events of the early 20th century and continue to shape our lives politically today. 

I am now 35 years old and within the past few years, the generations directly below me, the 15-25 age range, have lived in a different world then I grew up in.  There are less Whites and more religious tensions and so it should surprise none that this generation are much more steeped in the question of race. While it is possible to be racially conscious without being racist, it is clearly seen by all that the vast majority of "racial realists" have streaks of hatred.  As I stated before, 7 years ago, I hardly met any Whites who new anything about Hinduism, but this has suddenly changed.  The internet and Wikipedia have given the younger Whites the ability to search and research the obvious conclusion of questions they now hold in their minds.  Unfortunately they will find little information outside of Nazism, though it is also true there are rare gems of knowledge untainted by enmity. Just as I myself was eventually exposed to the ideas of the Caste System and its presumed racial hierarchy in my quest to better understand White destiny, so has the younger generation, and this has sparked a roaring fire of consumption of Hindu ideas and topics among them. Of course the new White racialists are magnetized toward the colonialist idea that they formed and are at the top of the "Caste System", but this belief has drawn them into Hindu study nonetheless. I am shocked at how quickly and in depth this younger generation has learned and embraced many of the tenants of Hinduism, it almost feels as though my work is no longer needed to spreading the eternal religion. 

Now, just like Muslims and Christians in foreign lands, Hindus cannot be stupid, they cannot afford to ignore or shy away from strategies to erect themselves as a world religion. Whether you want it or not, it is the White racial dilemma which has brought this opportunity before us, and like our religious counterparts, we must catch this opportunity and if necessary to cynically exploit the situation for our own survival, just as every other creature on earth does. Now the issue of Indian Hindu foreboding must be addressed as not only is this a dangerous game but we have already been found guilty by association.  It is a common trope in the West that Hinduism directly informed Nazism as the Nazis misappropriated the swastika, and many Nazi thinkers also warmly embraced Hinduism; most Hindus are fearful of further cementing these associations. Then surely there is the logical fear of introducing racists into the fold as these could easily turn on Hindus of darker complexion. 

But every risky opportunity comes with its rewards and this applies to the current situation. Let me assure you of one thing, I have watched these circles very closely, and I have noticed one thing, the longer these Whites associate themselves with the Caste System and Hinduism, the more they are influenced by Hindu teaching and ideas and the less malignantly racist they become.  Believe this or not but it is now common to find pan-Aryan groups led by Whites which include a healthy dose of Indian Hindus.  Indeed, the brown Hindu has all of a sudden become an adviser and mentor to the Caste interested White and has inevitably softened his/her heart to not only the Vedas but to other races as well. Yes there is a large subset of the online Indian Hindu population who have decided to shed their apprehensions and to play political chess, they have entered the realm of White racists via the vector of their Caste obsession and by this move they have gained influence.  If Muslims have exploited the racial issue among White females, than Hindus can most definitely exploit the rise of White racialism and its affinity toward the Caste system, whether or not this affinity is legitimate of not. 

I would also like to briefly touch upon the fact that Caste racism goes both ways.  One time a White Hindu friend of mine called me hysterically crying.  While she had been a devout Hindu for some time, she had met a Hindu activist online who informed her that she could never be a Hindu as she had no proper Gotra and this was the only way to enter Hindu Dharma. I as a White Hindu have also experienced Caste racism, I've been told I can never enter the Caste System as a White and will always be a Mlecca (non-Hindu).  While these sentiments are not widespread, they do exist and these also must be addressed as they are toxic to international Hindu unity. I have become aware of Hindu conversion programs which now offer converts the official opportunity to enter Hinduism through a granted Caste identity. 

History repeats itself, and for those who have the eyes to see we are now entering an era which resembles the depression era in Europe with racial and ideological tensions.  The fading White race will, without doubt as it is a natural law, soon take drastic steps to reverse its decline, but it need not play out the way it did a century ago.  The brave, open minded, far seeing and creative Hindu can see a thread which s/he can pull.  The White fascination with the Caste System has all of a sudden given them an intense interest in Hinduism in general, and by extension, if they are willing to play the game, the Hindus of India as well.  The Caste System is only an entry point into the White world, and though it may seem unethical to do so, this portal can and must be used as only by further association can the increasingly frantic Whites be tempered of their more sinister racial impulses and be encouraged to seek deeper Vedic teachings. Actually in fact, this idea is already in play as the synthesis has organically begun, but we can nurture and hasten its blooming.
