Oppression of Jaisi Bahun

 With great wish in my heart to cure this society/and myself from useless and stupid uses of Caste system, I write against these hopeless practices. 

Who are Jaisi Bahun?

Codification of Jaisi Bahun can be found in Muluki Ain of JBR, I don't wish it to be called of Nepal. It is rather a collection of oppression tools. Aryas especially Khaas originated around Jumla triumph truth and Gods over anything else, but both rule and Muluki Ain of JBR was example of exception. 

That Ain provide that Jaisi are sons of Upadhyay but from second wife, or wife without fire rituals or the wife was widow of someone else both physical or symbolical, or the wife was from Jaisi origin itself. 

This definition is nothing but a tool to confuse everyone and legitimize nonsense propaganda they would later preach. "Jaisi vaneka xxx ka xora hun" is a common phrase. I am in no position to accept this, though this nonsense muluki Ain has now long been lost but its children are still operating here and there without knowing anything but carrying a severe stupidity of their forefather. 

The same code provide that Jaisi can't give Gayatri mantra to anyone but only to Jaisi. They were then forced to farming etc. as their origin made them impure for royal things and now their duties and way to sustain too has been forfeited. Various theories popularized by propaganda why Jaisi should not recite Vedas. However, the code seems to limit to Bratabandha and other Karmakanda rituals. 

Historically who were these Jaisi Bahun then? Yagyavalkya Smriti imagined two bahuns at working level, one is Upadhya who can accept gift except from Kings by performing rituals, they were neither Guru nor Acharyas but who have right/duties to perform Vedic Karmas. Another were Daivagyas as defined by Mitakshara as Jyotish who have right/duties to guide the Kingdom. It is my position that these Daivagyas aka Jyotish were Jaisi and they were never in practice of Rituals. Since, we know at the time of Late Great King Pritthivi Narayan Shah Dev, two Jaisi Bahun from Aryal and Dhakal family guided him to Nepal's Unification, which also provide material to that function of Jaisi. 

"Jaisi ko Jaal" is infamous saying, which I accept with whole heart. They are the strategist and gone through oppression of JBR but did not give up and survive the unjust JBR. These much humiliation and lack of survival, Jaisi guide their lives through farming, lost study of Vedas still carry the family tradition as much as they could have.

But as a proud Jaisi, would not have these oppression caused, I believe we would never be able to understand oppression against other caste especially those from working class. We would have never understood the value of labor.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
