The ongoing Sanatan pad yatra in Madhya Pradesh and the caste discussions associated with it have given rise to a new controversy. Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda's statement further escalated the controversy amid the statements made by Pandit Dhirendra Krishna Shastri of Bageshwar Dham on Hindu unity. Shankaracharya commented on Dhirendra Shastri's caste and pointed out the inconsistency in his message and his deeds, which has enraged the supporters of Bageshwar Dham. After this statement, an intense debate has started on the words of Shankaracharya.
Shankaracharya said: "Dhirendra Shastri should first leave his caste"
Shankaracharya Avimukteshwarananda commented, "If Dhirendra Shastri talks about abolishing casteism, he should first leave his caste." He also alleged that Shastri, considering himself a Brahmin, is advising others to leave caste. This statement directly challenged Dhirendra Shastri's slogan, in which he had called for "Jaat-Paat Ki Karo Vidaai".
Dhirendra Shastri's message to eradicate casteism
Dhirendra Shastri had stressed the purpose of his yatra and said that the main objective of this padayatra is to end caste discrimination and social division. He also said, "We have to bring every section of the society together. Tribals should be called 'anaadivasi' and their historical importance should be respected."
Shastri also expressed concern that due to lack of unity in Hinduism, incidents of conversion are increasing. He appealed that religious leaders should reach out to the poor and marginalized. Dhirendra Shastri said in the context of his yatra, "The crowd that has come here is of aware Hindus. Now Hindus are getting united with their thoughts." Describing Hindus as a thoughtful community, he said that they now have the 'sword of thought' in their hands. This statement is an important part of his efforts to make the Hindu society aware and empowered. Shankaracharya's statement caused controversy!
After Shankaracharya's statement, Dhirendra Shastri's supporters have become angry. They say that Shastri's aim is to unite the society, while Shankaracharya's statement is trying to turn it in the wrong direction. At the same time, some social groups are supporting Shankaracharya's statement, they believe that more concrete steps are needed than sloganeering to end caste discrimination.
Now it remains to be seen whether this debate gives a new direction to the society or remains stuck in controversies. At present, Sanatan Pad Yatra has started a new discussion in the direction of Hindu unity.
