Yesterday I was accosted by an old not-so-gentleman while taking an evening stroll; he was from my label: not hacker, not writer, not thinker, not brownie, not poo… but from a higher abstraction called caste. For some reason, he associated me with a Muslim Uncle Ruckus… you know all the Uncles everywhere. I deliberately avoid bringing up my labels because that further narrows your view of what I’m trying to say. Some Americans thought I was anti-American for defending the lives of the Middle East; Some Christians thought I was anti-Christian because I am against the Church, despite laughing at my Brahmin jokes. You see how it blinds you. Regardless, I’m going to spend some time talking about the labels that are ascribed to me in terms of caste that shape the way people still think. I could go to San Francisco, and it would be a higher label called Poo…Apu Nahasaputin.

[Presenting the ChillGrandpa Committee…]

Let’s begin with a Prayer

From the Hermetica

After imagining Tat Tvam Asi (or the corollary? Shivoham) as Hermes resonated, I want you to sink down to the label that your Masters have given you, be it ‘woman’, ’pussy’, ’whore’, ’nigger’, ’sand nigger’, ‘cracker’, ‘gentile’, ‘mleccha’, ‘transvestite monster’, ’what else?’, ’Christian’,’pagan’, ‘terrorist’, ‘nair’ or ‘Thara’. In the case of the Gentle Nairs, every woman was once bound by a pseudo-marriage where patrimony isn’t inherited but a form of protection was guaranteed. This is called Sambhandham. They got a better deal than the rest of the other Sudras. In fact, it turned out good for them because they didn’t have to fight for the system to be abolished.

Nambudiri Yogakshema Mahasabha, a revolutionary group of Nambudiris founded in 1908, from 1919 agitated for all Nambudiris to marry within their own community. The Sabha declared the marriages of younger brothers from within the community as official, irrespective of whether the elder brothers were married or not. They decided to boycott Sambandams. This revolutionary meeting deciding this was held in “Bharatheebhooshanam” at Thrissur on 25th Medam 1094 (1919 A.D.). The Madras Namboothiri Act of 1933 confirmed this change. In the same year, the Madras Marumakkathayam Act was passed, by which Sambandam was acknowledged as a regular marriage, conferring on the children rights of inheritance and property as held by children whose parents were both Nambudiris. The declaration and these Acts led to a sudden decline in the number of Sambandam marriages and the practice died out within around a decade.

Imagine being forced to marry a Horse-Sacrifice-Necrophiliac-Bestiality-Priest. How it must have sucked.

Meanwhile at Ceylon Bakers:

Let’s start with the typical [irony begins] depiction of people from my labellaz: If you find Indian film industry cheesy, skip and watch the next video {{

1:01 [Reality Check: In recent times, they weren’t allowed in temples because of Aryans and NairHybrids]

}}

So you see, the notion of ‘caste’ is a foreign import. You have many tribes where people have different functions; once you’re conquered, the ones who bend over quickly get a good but demeaning deal; the others get the Sudra card. Right, no?

That’s just a movie, i know. That’s just a book, i know; how about local myths?

Kalari is a traditional school of learning, martial arts and indigenous medicine in Kerala. Though its dominant, Sanskritized and violent applications by the Savarna or upper castes are linked to the militarization and feudalization of Kerala during the middle ages that established the Savarna high culture and hegemony in Kerala; its popular and Avarna or subaltern versions are part of people’s resistance, health care and self defense against oppression, invasion and domination.

The ancient Kalari at Cheerappanchira of old Karappuram or current Cherthala in Alapuzha district lying on the western banks of lake Vembanad to the west of Kumarakom and Pathiramanal island is renowned for its legendary warriors and inclusive martial arts masters who even got the prestigious privilege of teaching their life saving arts to the mythical Ayyappan of Pandalam dynasty now enshrined in Sabarimala according to folklore and popular belief. It is interesting to note that Ayyappan also known as Dharma Sastha (a synonym of the Buddha) is also associated with the Buddhist past of south India.

Cough cough… this is not going to be a silly SNDP post, because they are run by thieves; you wanna see their King, the Golden Asshole?

BOOOOM!

Let’s see what the general mass thinks about these clowns; not everyone, just the frauds and gold diggers. Let’s go to Fort Cochin aka the uninformed-tourist Kerala

Europeans don’t differentiate between Indians and Africans; you knew that already… lol!
Herer’s what a legendary gangster from Fort Cochin thinks about Chill Grandpa: Oh, the glory of Sunday School

Did I tell you about the time when Nishaj, my old roommate from undergrad, revealed to me how Mata Amritananda Mai used to be a fisherman tribe prostitute; I actually believed him for some reason, because he was very convincing. The dude jumped to MEC (c/o IHRD Shed c/o Kerala Government?) shed in half-a-semester with a 6000 entrance rank and some bribes.

It’s funny because I had a vision of her where she had her hair colored, was dressed in colors, and rode an inline scooter; the way I interpret it is: The mother goddess thinks Amritantamay is forced to play the role of a Mother when really she’s a child inside.

Meanwhile, the sexperts from the shed interpret an unknown pattern with known patterns. Hilarity ensues.
Time for a 9(Beedi Break (I’d rather smoke mapach0 or dmt)1)

Yo Bro-Mins: How is yesterday’s assignment progressing: if you used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gayatri_Mantra and its focus on Savitur, the glory of the rising Sun deified, directing one’s mind rather than wishing for gauh (interpreted as cow or light) and sons, you get more BROWNIE points.

Dog poo better than your collective karmic spirituality, don’t you think?

Time for a Brahmin-Mudra (ashwini mudra) release

That blog post about Ayappan’s Buddhist background was interesting, right? Funny to see some Varma comments in the post: ignore them

Your comment is awaiting moderation.

Hi Ajay,

Nice work! I couldn’t see the family head when I was there to start my first Sabarimala pilgrimage. I see some novels mentioned here; many novels paid for by our puppeteers contain subliminal lies designed to misguide. For instance:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13563459-asura talks about asuras being dravidians explicitly, but still frames ravana as a megalomaniac psychopath.

I’m going to use your work in my project: https://medium.com/p/f2f20095d453

I know the Tibetans have a historical account of their first Buddhist King acquiring a sandalwood statue of Avalokiteshwara from South India. I don’t agree with Buddhist metaphysics, and the continued system of caste in Buddhist Tibet showed that the problem wasn’t one of religion.

In Tibet, where most people had been slaves owned like cattle, the punishment for cheating one’s lord was being branded on the tongue. So the custom of sticking one’s tongue out began:

You’ve probably read my essay on the global-lie-phenomenon called the Dalai Lama; i bet it was dismissed despite the extensive ‘authoritative’ sources provided in the essay : https://medium.com/@100and9/false-gods-i-the-dalai-lamas-of-tibet-b9cea314b1bd

I also talked about the corruption of Chenrezi, the Father of All Tibetans, after the Buddhist transformation:https://medium.com/@100and9/hanuman-and-lady-tibet-a-mythic-examination-d66b14706cf2

I’m not a CommunisTlabel or anything, and believe in the power of spirituality and organized spirituality; the latter tends to become a power game… as one Guru said, and I paraphrase him, Religions do not matter as long as Humanity improves.

Back to Unni Archa and the appropriated mythic figures:

You know that lame film where they appropriated the lead untouchable roles with AryanLabels

Movie sucked, yes

I think the Mammooty version was better, on a relative scale.

lol… all the planets, horse-heads…

At this historical moment, I am reminded of the Khadi store old geezer singing something to the tune of ‘choli ke peeche kya hai’ while getting an eye-full of a salesgirl’s

Break time, again!

Okay, time for some old scholarship on the matter; before that, you don’t even know your history… forming a label gang with the perpetual underdog, not underdog, narrative was never a thing for your ancestors:

Let’s start with the ‘Kshatriyas’ who dominate the Indian Army

As always, see the Forest and the Trees, and not the label, to really distill the essence:

Volume 6 contains ‘Nair’… we’re (I, you, they, us..) going to prove Shashi Tharoor wrong:

Source in txt: https://ia802904.us.archive.org/27/items/castesandtribeso42996gut/42996-8.txt

In a note on the Paraiyans of Malabar, Mr. T. K. Gopaul Panikkar writes
[70] that "at certain periods of the year the Paraiyas have to assume
the garb of an evil deity, with large head-dresses and paintings on the
body and face, and tender cocoanut leaves hanging loose around their
waists, all these embellishments being of the rudest patterns. With
figures such as these, terror-striking in themselves, dancing with
tom-toms sounding and horns blowing, representing the various temple
deities, they visit the Nair houses, professing thereby to drive off
any evil deities that may be haunting their neighbourhood. After their
dues have been given to them, they go their ways; and, on the last
day, after finishing their house-to-house visits, they collect near
their special temples to take part in the vela tamasha (spectacle)."

Better formatting,huh?

Lastly, as to the Paraiyas of North Travancore. Their condition seems
lowest of all, as they enter further into the Malayalam country, and
enjoy fewer opportunities of escape from caste degradation and from
bitter servitude. 'Their own tradition,' the Rev. G. Matthan writes,
[72] 'has it that they were a division of the Brahmans, who were
entrapped into a breach of caste by their enemies, through making them
eat beef. They eat carrion and other loathsome things. The carcases
of all domestic animals are claimed by them as belonging to them by
right. They frequently poison cows, and otherwise kill them for the
sake of their flesh. They are also charged with kidnapping women of
the higher castes, whom they are said to treat in the most brutal
manner. It is their custom to turn robbers in the month of February,
in which month they pretend the wrong was done them, to break into
the houses of the Brahmans and Nairs, and to carry away their women,
children, and property, to which they are actuated more by motives
of revenge than of interest, and to justify which they plead the
injury their caste had received from these parties. In former times,
they appear to have been able to perpetrate these cruelties almost
with impunity, from the fear of which the people still betray great
uneasiness, though the custom has now grown into disuse.

They had balls, I give them that

Panikkar.--Panikkar, meaning teacher or worker, has been recorded,
in the Malayalam country, as a title of barbers, Kammalan, Maran,
Nayar, Panan, and Paraiyan. In former times, the name was applied,
in Malabar, to fencing-masters, as the following quotations show :--


1518. "And there are very skilful men who teach this art (fencing),
and they are called Panicars."--Barbosa.

1553. "And when the Naire comes to the age of 7 years, he is
obliged to go to the fencing-school, the master of which (whom
they call Panical) they regard as a father, on account of the
instruction he gives them."--Barros.

1583. "The maisters which teach them be graduates in the
weapons which they teach, and they be called in their language
Panycaes."--Castaneda.

Fencing school at the age of 7… very Spartan… let’s move on

As regards social status, the Panans eat at the hands of Brahmans,
Nayars, Kammalans, and Izhuvans. They have to stand at a distance of
thirty-two feet from Brahmans. Panans and Kaniyans pollute one another
if they touch, and both bathe should they happen to do so. They are
their own barbers and washermen. They live in the vicinity of the
Izhuvans, but cannot live in the Nayar tharas. Nor can they take water
from the wells of the Kammalans. They cannot approach the outer walls
of Brahman temples, and are not allowed to enter the Brahman streets
in Palghat."

Oh, wait, we need an earlier volume for N… different versions of the book? bleh… good thing I have an offline copy somewhere

Nambutiri Brahman.* — The name Nambutiri 
has been variously derived. The least objectionable
origin seems to be nambu (sacred or trustworthy) and
tiri (a light). The latter occurs as an honorific suffix
among Malabar Brahmans, and other castes above the
Nayars. The Nambutiris form the socio-spiritual aris-
tocracy of Malabar, and, as the traditional landlords
of Parasu Rama's land, they are everywhere held in great
reverence.

A Nambutiri, when questioned about the past, refers
to the Keralolpatti. The Nambutiris and their organ-
ization according to gramams owe their origin in legend,
so far as Malabar is concerned, to Parasu Rama. Parasu
Rama (Rama of the axe), an incarnation of Vishnu, had,
according to the puranic story, slain his mother in a fit
of wrath, and was advised by the sages to expiate his sin
by extirpating the Kshatriyas twenty-one times.

Cool… genocide and matricide as root

The Brahmans ruled the land with 
severity, so that the people (who had somehow come into
existence) resolved to have a king under whom they
could live in peace. And, as it was impossible to choose
one among themselves, they chose Keya Perumal, who
was the first king of Malabar, and Malabar was called
Keralam after him. The truths underlying this legend
are that the littoral strip between the western ghats and
the sea is certainly of recent formation geologically. It
is not very long, geologically, since it was under the sea,
and it is certain that the Nambutiris came from the
north. The capital of the Chera kingdom was very
probably on the west coast not far from Cranganore
in the Travancore State, the site of it being now called
Tiruvanjikkulam. There is still a Siva temple there,
and about a quarter of a mile to the south-west of it
are the foundations of the old palace.

Severity is an understatement… they sex-slaved everyone

is said that Parasu Rama ruled that all Nambudri 
women should carry with them an umbrella whenever
they go out, to prevent their being seen by those of the male sex, that a Nayar woman called a Vrishali should
invariably precede them, that they should be covered
with a cloth from neck to foot, and that they should not
wear jewels. These women are therefore always attended
by a Nayar woman in their outdoor movements, and
they go sheltering their faces from public gaze with a
cadjan (palm leaf) umbrella.

So technically Nayars in the Brahmin sense are household slaves

The Nambutiri just where he was before the English 
knew India. He is perhaps, as his measurements seem
to prove, the truest Aryan in Southern India, and not only
physically, but in his customs, habits, and ceremonies, which
are so welded into him that forsake them he cannot if he
would.

So Nambuthooris are colonial outsiders of the land that is called India now :)

In connection with the former position of the Nayars 
as protectors of the State, it is noted by Mr. Logan f that
" in Johnston's * Relations of the most famous Kingdom
in the world' (161 1), there occurs the following quaintly
written account of this protector guild. * It is strange to
see how ready the Souldiour of this country is at his
Weapons : they are all gentile men, and tearmed Naires.
At seven Years of Age they are put to School to learn
the Use of their Weapons, where, to make them nimble
and active, their Sinnewes and Joints are stretched by
skilful Fellows, and annointed with the Oyle Sesamus
[gingelly : Sesamwn indicttin\ : By this annointing they
become so light and nimble that they will winde and
turn their Bodies as if they had no Bones, casting them
forward, backward, high and low, even to the Astonish-
ment of the Beholders, Their continual Delight is in their
Weapon, perswading themselves that no Nation goeth
beyond them in Skill and Dexterity.'

and Nairs function as their guards and proxy power with relation to other people

haha, page 313 is conveniently fuzzed… you see why book burning is a thing. I can paraphrase from memory (about 16 husbands simultaneously among several other things), but I don’t want to shashi tharoor such a sensitive topic. Let’s listen to the experts who were there 100 years ago:

Going still further south, we find the Nayar purohit 
called simply Attikurissi, omitting the Marayan, and
he considers it beneath his dignity to shave. Neverthe-
less, he betrays his kinship with the Marayan of the
north by the privilege w^hich he claims of cutting the first
hair when a Nayar is shaved after funeral obsequies.
On the other hand, the drummer, who is called Marayan,
or honorifically Marar, poses as a temple servant, and
would be insulted if it were said that he was akin to the
shaving Marayan of the north. He is considered next in
rank only to Brahmans, and would be polluted by the
touch of Nayars. He loses caste by eating the food of
Nayars, but the Nayars also lose caste by eating his food.
A proverb says that a Marayan has four privileges : —

1. Pani, or drum, beaten with the hand

To the Army neighbor’s bitch wife(house name Lankans?): how’s the drum beating, cunt whore? you cheated on him, of course :)

Not mother nature… your ex was a whore, you pussy :) hahahaha

Continued:

occupation, are traders, artisans, oilmongers, palanquin- 
bearers, and even barbers and washermen. The fact
seems to be that successive waves of immigration brought
from the Canarese and Tamil countries different castes
and different tribes

So a tribe with various professions… who were exploited by Brahmins to become their slaves. That’s the True Story.

Again the rajahs and 
chieftains of the country sometimes raised individuals or
classes who had rendered them meritorious service to
the rank of Nayars. These men were thereafter styled
Nayars, but formed a separate sub-division with little
or no communion with the re.st of the Nayar class, until
at least, after the lapse of generations, when their origin
was forgotten. Nayar may thus at present be considered
to be a term almost as wide and general as Sudra.

It’s a mix of genes… so it’s not a ‘race’Label

According to the Brahman tradition, the Nayar 
caste is the result of union between the Nambudris with
Deva, Gandharva and Rakshasa women
introduced by
Parasurama ; and this tradition embodies the undoubted
fact that the caste by its practice of hypergamy has had
a very large infusion of Aryan blood. In origin the
Nayars were probably a race of Dravidian immigrants,
who were amongst the first invaders of Malabar, and as
conquerors assumed the position of the governing

You don’t think your Brahmin lords still see you in this way, at least the ones high up looking down on you?

The large admixture of Aryan blood 
combined with the physical peculiarities of the country
would go far to explain the very marked difference
between the Nayar of the present day and what may be
considered the corresponding Dravidian races in the rest
of the Presidency.*

In the words of the new-speak, a Hybrid classLabel, and Orphan :(

The Nairs are the gentry, and have no 
other duty than to carry on war, and they continually
carry their arms with them, which are swords, bows,
arrows, bucklers, and lances. They all live with the
kings, and some of them with other lords, relations of the
kings, and lords of the country, and with the salaried
governors, and with one another. They are very smart
men, and much taken up with their nobility.

These Nairs, besides being all of noble descent, have to
be armed as knights by the hand of a king or lord with
whom they live, and until they have been so equipped
they cannot bear arms nor call themselves Nairs.

ah, a different opinion by someone who didn’t dig enough

It is noted by Sonnerat* that the Nayars “are the 
warriors ; they have also the privilege of enjoying all the
women of their caste. Their arms, which they constantly
carry, distinguish them from the other tribes. They are
besides known by their insolent haughtiness. When they
perceive pariahs, they call out to them, even at a great
distance, to get out of their way, and, if any one of these
unfortunate people approaches too near a Nair, and
through inadvertence touches him, the Nair has a right to murder him, which is looked upon as a very innocent
action, and for which no complaint is ever made. It is
true that the pariahs have one day in the year when all
the Nairs they can touch become their slaves, but the
Nairs take such precautions to keep out of the way at
the time, that an accident of that kind seldom happens.”
It is further recorded by Buchanan * that “ the whole of
these Nairs formed the militia of Malayala, directed by
the Namburis and governed by the Rajahs.

I can see why Tamilians hate Kerala in-general… not everyone’s an aristrocratic-wannabe-dog-sellout.

The Travancore 
Nayars are popularly known as Malayala Sudras — a
term which contrasts them sharply with the Pandi or
foreign Sudras, of whom a large number immigrated into
Travancore in later times. Another name by which
Nayars are sometimes known is Malayali, but other
castes, which have long inhabited the MalayMam country,
can lay claim to this designation with equal propriety.
The most general title of the Nayars is Pillai (child),
which was once added to the names of the Brahman
dwellers in the south.

Sudras want to be Nobility… haha, thinking about my uncles who faked their last names to hit it in North India! hahahaha… you picked the wrong last name, duplicate-Menons

But she cannot under any 
circumstances unite herself with a man of a clan, which
is inferior to hers. Nor can she eat with those of a clan
inferior to her ; a man may, and does without restriction.
H er children by an equal in race and not only in mere
social standing, but never those by one who is racially
inferior, belong to her taravad.* The children of the
inferior mothers are never brought into the taravad of
the superior fathers, ?>., they are never brought into it
to belong to it, but they may live there. And, where
they do so, they cannot enter the taravad kitchen, or
touch the women while they are eating. Nor are they
allowed to touch their father’s corpse. They may live
in the taravad under these and other disabilities, but
are never of it.

Let’s not spoil the pure-Hybrid-blood

According to this usage, a Nayar woman, consorting 
with a man of a higher caste, follows the hair, purifies
the blood, and raises the progeny in social estimation.
By cohabitation with a man of a lower division (clan)
or caste, she is guilty of pratilbmam, and, if the
difference of caste were admittedly great, she would
be turned out of her family, to prevent the whole
family being boycotted. A corollary of this custom
is that a Nambutiri Brahman father cannot touch his
own children by his Nayar consort without bathing

What? I told you 1666 fires and 9/11 were cute compared to this.

In a note on the Nayars in the sixteenth century, 
Csesar Fredericke writes as follows.'*' “These Nairi
having their wives common amongst themselves, and
when any of them goe into the house of any of these
women, he leaveth his sworde and target at the door,
and the time that he is there, there dare not be any so hardie as to come into that house. The king’s children
shall not inherite the kingdom after their father, because
they hold this opinion, that perchance they were not
begotten of the king their father, but of some other
man, therefore they accept for their king one of the
sonnes of the king’s sisters, or of some other woman
of the blood roiall, for that they be sure that they are of
the blood roiall.”

In his “ New Account of the East Indies, (1727)”
Hamilton wrote; “The husbands,” of whom, he said,
there might be twelve, but no more at one time, “agree
very well, for they cohabit with her in their turns,
according to their priority of marriage, ten days more
or less according as they can fix a term among them-
selves, and he that cohabits with her maintains her in
all things necessary for his time, so that she is plenti-
fully provided for by a constant circulation. When
the man that cohabits with her goes into her house
he leaves his arms at the door, and none dare remove
them or enter the house on pain of death. When she
proves with child, she nominates its father, who takes
care of his education after she has suckled it, and
brought it to walk or speak, but the children are never
heirs to their father’s estate, but the father’s sister’s
children are.”

Writing in the latter half of the eighteenth century,
Grose says * that “ it is among the Nairs that principally
prevails the strange custom of one wife being common
to a number ; in which point the great power of custom
is seen from its rarely or never producing any jealousies
or quarrels among the co-tenants of the same woman.
Their number is not so much limited by any specific law as by a kind of tacit convention, it scarcely ever
happening that it exceeds six or seven. The woman,
however, is under no obligation to admit above a sinofle
attachment, though not less respected for using her
privilege to its utmost extent. If one of the husbands
happens to come to the house when she is employed
with another, he knows that circumstance bv certain
signals left at the door that his turn is not come, and
departs very resignedly.” Writing about the same time,
Sonnerat says that “ these Brahmans do not marry,
but have the privilege of enjoying all the Nairesses.
This privilege the Portuguese who were esteemed as a
great caste, obtained and preserved, till their drunken-
ness and debauchery betrayed them into a commerce
with all sorts of women. The following right is estab-
lished by the customs of the country. A woman without
shame may abandon herself to all men who are not of an
inferior caste to her own, because the children (notwith-
standing what Mr. de \'oltaire says) do not belong to
the father, but to the mother’s brother ; they become
his legitimate heirs at their birth, even of the crown if he
is king.” In his ‘Voyages and Travels’, Kerr writes
as follows, t " By the laws of their country these Nayres
cannot marry, so that no one has any certain or acknowl-
