The movie Chhava has powerfully depicted the supreme sacrifice of Dharmaveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj for Dharma, Nation, and Honor. While the film does not explicitly mention Aurangzeb’s Jihadi mindset, any historically aware viewer can easily grasp the reality. As expected, the Brigadi-BAMCEF cabal was rattled. Their usual tactic is to stir caste-based divisions, so they attempted to divert the entire discussion towards "Who were the traitors?" rather than addressing the real issue.
History clearly shows that no single caste had a monopoly on heroism or betrayal. Those in power across different periods collectively contributed to great achievements, and unfortunately, some also committed treachery. However, the Brigadi gang selectively portrays historical traitors based on caste to push their divisive agenda. Hindu nationalists have always countered this with firm rebuttals because this false narrative does not just distort history but actively works to divide Hindus today.
Casteist Brigadi Mindset: Not Limited to One Group
When we oppose the Brigadi mindset, we primarily challenge casteist elements within the Maratha community. But the real question is—what do we call the casteist elements from other communities? Because caste-based mentality exists across all communities—Brahmins, OBCs, and others—it just manifests in different ways.
Yes, the Brigadi gang is a major obstacle to Hindu unity, but an even greater challenge is the casteist agenda being pushed from within the Hindu nationalist fold itself. This means we are not just fighting overt enemies but also covert opportunists who promote caste divisions while pretending to support Hindutva.
Prashant Kortakar’s Despicable Remarks Against Hindu Icons
Had Prashant Kortakar and Indrajit Sawant merely engaged in personal disputes, it wouldn’t have concerned the broader Hindu society. However, Kortakar crossed all limits by making vile and disgraceful remarks against Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Dharmaveer Sambhaji Maharaj, deities revered by all Hindus. Naturally, this sparked outrage among the Hindu masses.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is the embodiment of Hindu sovereignty. Even Dr. Hedgewar, the founder of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), firmly believed that if Hindus were to choose an ideal leader, only Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj could be that figure. We Hindutva nationalists consider the Bhagwa Dhwaj (Saffron Flag) as the eternal Guru of our ancient Hindu nation. But in the modern context, if we were to designate a ‘Father of the Nation,’ that honor could belong only to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The Hindu Trap: Falling for Caste-Based Agendas
After Prashant Kortakar’s audio clip went viral, many—including individuals from all communities—gave him the "benefit of the doubt." Even I refrained from outright declaring that it was indeed Kortakar in the clip. However, some of my Brahmin friends confidently told me, "I can assure you, this is definitely Kortakar!"
This entire incident teaches us a critical lesson—the majority of people in every caste are Hindu at heart, but a small minority within each caste harbors a casteist mindset.
Hindutva does not face opposition only from external casteist factions, but also from those who infiltrate the Hindu nationalist fold while pushing their own casteist agenda. These people may appear on prestigious platforms and align themselves with respected figures, but their real motive is to sow divisions within Hindu unity.
Examples: Hindu Unity Beyond Caste Divisions
-
Baji Prabhu Deshpande & Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj – Baji Prabhu, a Brahmin warrior, laid down his life at Ghodkhind, proving that valor knows no caste.
-
Narveer Umaji Naik – Umaji Naik, from the Ramoshi community, waged war against the British Raj. His fight wasn’t just for his community, but for Hindu sovereignty.
-
Rajmata Jijabai & the Mavalas – The warrior force raised by Rajmata Jijabai included Mavalas from all castes, proving that caste never defined loyalty to Swarajya.
Conclusion: Hindus Must Not Fall into the Casteist Trap!
The strategy of dividing Hindus along caste lines is not new. Aurangzeb used it through jagirs and feudal favoritism, and the British mastered it with their "Divide and Rule" policy. Today, the Brigadi-BAMCEF network is playing the same game, albeit in a modern form.
But Hindus must never fall for this trap. Our Dharma acknowledged caste, but it was never casteist. Hindu society has castes, but it will never be divided.
History has already given us the ultimate lesson—whether it’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Baji Prabhu, Umaji Naik, Sambhaji Maharaj, or Tanhaji Malusare, their valor was never defined by caste.
