Skewed faith in ravelled This is an article published in Secular Humanist in 2003 about Dr.Dharam veer I A S The arthodox Hindu obscurantists,level their arguments to establish the ardent faith in mythology,with stories in epic narrations.Our great revolutionaries,political philosophers and heretics were mystified and deified with fables and divine haloing.They don't have the least hesitation to proclaim such rationalists as the avatars of Vishnu and to subsume their ideologies to Hinduism.This centuries old unique peculiarity of the Indologists have now been questioned and a new rational dimention has been propounded. The uncrowned king of Hindi literature,a social revolutionary and a thinker philosopher,Kabir has now been re defined,reclaimed and re established from mystification and deification.Dr. DharamVeer a Hindi laureate from Meerat in UP is the pilot of subversing the century old deep rooted history,culture,literature and sociology of Hindi literature.Dr.Hasariprasad dewedi became an authority on Kabir through his famous book "Kabir"published on 1942,which is supposed to be a classic criticism and research in Hindi literature.Dr.Dharam veer through his book"Critiques of Kabir"published in 1977 found out a new geoneology to Kabir demolishing the Brahminical content of Hasariprasad Dwedi's book Kabir.He,through his meticulous analysis sifted Kabir from the Brahminical canons.Dharam veer re establishes that Guru Rama and was never be a guru of Kabir ashe was a young a young rebel who hit so hard at Brahminical hypocracy and himself a sufferur.Ramanand's philosophical beliefs and practices had allowed in touchability which was repelled by Kabir. Dr. Dharam Veer renounced the theological base of Kabir as he himself proclaimed that the God is neither at Kailas nor at Ka-abba.Kabir was neither a Hindu nor a Muslim.But it is ironical that both the Hindus and the Muslims are worshiping Kabir as their messiah. Dr. Dharam Veer has written six books on Kabir in Hindi creating a turning point on contemporary Hindi literature which sprouted heated discourses.The spark which Dr.DharamVeer sets in the Hindi literature has now turned a flame through India and abroad which not only re established the century old cannons but also put forth a new thinking in Indian philosophy.
