Christening: Good and auspicious names should be given to the Brahmins only. Kshatriyas should be given names connoting braveness and valour. Vaisyas’s name should be based on articles.
Sudras alone should be given names meaning disgrace and degradation. Further the word “Dasan” should be the suffix for all the sudra names. (Chap.2, S.31 and 32).
A Brahmin’s “Poonul” (thread) should be made of cotton. Khatriyas Poonul should be made 3 of janappa threads. Vaisyas Poonul should be made of goat’s hair. (Chap. 2.S.44).
Pigs & sudras: Any eatable article becomes polluted and unfit for consumption when:
(1) A pig dashes against, (2) hens and cock fly over, (3) when a dog looks at, (4) when a sudra touches. (Chap.3.S.241).
Any one, who offers anything eatable to a sudra after the ceremony will go to hell. Such a fool will be punished there. He will have to live there upside down. (Chap.3.S.249).
If the Brahmins happen to eat anything that has been tasted or touched by a sudra, that Brahmin should have intercourse with his wife that night and the dead will live in the motion of the wife for a month (Chap.3.S.250).
There are seven varieties of sudras:
(1) He who retreats in a war. (2) A prisoner in a war. (3) One who serves a Brahmin out of devotion. (4) Son of a prostitute. (5) One who is purchased. (6) One who is adopted. (7) One who is a traditional worker. (Chap.8.S.415).
Duties of the sudra: A sudra worships a Brahmin either for salvation or for his livelihood. It will be a good thing for him if he calls all others inferior to Brahmins. (Chap.10.S.122).
As the Kshatriyas have failed to perform rituals and as they neglected to worship the Brahmins, they are becoming sudras (Chap.10.S.43).
In any congregation, the Brahmin alone should eat first. If there is balance of food, that alone should be given to others. New clothes should be worn by Brahmins only and when they become old and torn they should be given to others. A sudra is entitled to receive only these. (Chap.8.S.125)
It is the duty of the king to order the sudra to serve the Brahmins. If the sudra refuses he should be punished and forced. (Chap.10.S.235).
A Brahmin could extract work from the sudra paying or without paying. Brahma has created the sudra only to work for the Brahmins. (Chap.8.S.413).
It is the main duty of the sudra to serve the other communities without jealousy. For his service he may get wages. (Chap.1.S.91).
Exploitation: The wealth of the sudra who does not perform yagna is to be deemed as the property of the Asuras. So his wealth could be plundered.. (Chap.7.S.248).
The wealth of the sudra could be forcibly plundered. No consent is needed. There need not be any hesitation. (Chap.11.S.13).
Even if a sudra is in a position to earn, he should not earn anything more than what is needed to his family. If any sudra does so, he may go against the Brahmins and be tortured. (Chap.10.S.126).
Punishment to sudras: If a sudra talks ill of a Brahmin his tongue should be cut off. (Chap.8.S.270).
If a sudra pronounces the name of a Brahmin or talks of his caste or accuses him, an iron rod ten inches long should be heated red-hot and thrust into the mouth of the sudra. (Chap.8.S.271).
If the sudra dictates the Brahmin to do a particular thing, boiled oil should be poured into the mouth and ears of the sudra. (Chap.8.S.272).
If the sudra hits at Brahmin’s hair beard, legs, neck, penis, his hands must be cut off. (Chap.8.S.283).
If the sudra sits in a seat along with a Brahmin, his hips should be scorched or he should be driven away from the town. (Chap.8.s.281). (To be continued)

SECULAR JINNAH & PAKISTAN
(What the Nation Doesn’t Know)
Ms. Saleena Karim, a British-Asian writer, researcher.
In 2005, raised controversy when she proved that a famous quote of M.A. Jinnah used in Chief Justice Munir’s From Jinnah to Zia (1979) was a fake. In this much-anticipated sequel to Secular Jinnah (2005), the author provides an in-depth analysis of the Munir quote and its extraordinary influence over those who argue for a secular Jinnah. Containing independent and original research collected over five years, her book presents a compelling case for a Jinnah who was neither a secularist, nor a religionist, nor even a product of secular Islam synthesis. This comprehensive work includes discussion on: (1) Jinnah’s ideological conversion, (2) Iqbal’s intellectual influence, (3) The real meaning of the Two-Nation Theory, (4) The Lahore Resolution as a “deferred” partition demand, (5) the Cabinet Mission Plan, (6) the Objective Resolution of 1949, and (7) academic misconstruction of Jinnah.
And also includes: Account of the first and devastating use of the Munir quote in the Constituent Assembly debates of 1954; the untold story of the Constitution (amendment) Bill 2006 to make the Aug.11, 1947 speech a substantive part of the Pakistani constitution (includes correspondence between S. Karim and late M.P. Bhandara).

DV’s prophetic voice
As early as Aug.1, 2004 — six years ago — DV had predicted that the White Western Christian world, driven by the hate-mongering Zionist Jews, would be defeated in its war on Islam and Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Our prophecy has proved right. A reprint of the Aug.1, 2004 signed article by Editor V.T. Rajshekar was brought out as a reprint — with a picture of Osama bin Laden – whom they could neither kill nor even capture. The West could not even trace the elusive Saudi king of terrorists in hiding.
Hundreds of copies of the reprint were sold out.
Not a single prediction made in DV has so far gone wrong. Please order a copy of the DV reprint.
