The brahmins are already shown as the parasites of Indian social system in many dalit writing. They have infested the Indian social system since ancient time that the country till date is unable to turn around by collecting its internal strength even after so much of effort. The caste system introduced by Hindu and the brahmins is continuously sucking the nation social system by compromising humanity is the proof that brahmins are blood sucker of Indian social system.
But this piece of writing is not about brahmins but more about another caste group in Hindu. The baniya caste group is another parasite in the Indian system. Baniya caste group has always remained hidden under the shadow of brahmins and rajputs since beginning. The rajputs always ruled the people with muscle power and brahmin group ruled by making fool of people with mind power and more importantly power bestowed upon them self from hindu religion. But in this game, baniya group has always remain hidden under the shadow. The emergence of agrarian society led to the emergence of baniyas which consistently sucked poor people's money making them beg even when they were providing grains to everyone by his hard labor in field. In the last century, the Indian cinema has captured this well that how a munsi take advantage of poor people in times of economic stress. The baniya gives credit at humongous rates and then make the whole generation economic slaves for themselves because no sane person can fulfill the greed of baniya. Baniya gets the forged thumb mark on stupid papers to capture the complete farmer's land. This used to be usual story in the 1960-70's movie but the movie making business has moved on and they don't capture these things now still persistent in rural / urban areas across India. People reading this must know that micro finance institution charges anywhere from 20-35% of interest and some time it goes beyond 50%. These lenders are none other than baniyas who are obscenely making money out of stressed farmers without showing any humanity. The rural economy still works with local baniya. If the borrower does not pay back the money, then the next generation becomes slave of the lender to repay at that interest rate to satisfy the baniya's greed.
The above paragraph shows how a rural economy work till this day. Now come to the urban economy, which is major part of modern economic system. The concept of family business is prevalent is India and people will not get surprised to know that most of the businesses are owned by bania community. So, this has serious implication of driving away the meritocratic system in the society. The highly intellectual people get stuck of these business owned by family and slog for their family adding little value to themselves as they are working for not so intellectual thinking people. People would not be surprised that a less education person owning the business. Nothing wrong in that, but the implications are very serious again. It has created problem of child labour and all the hazardous environmental problem in the modern industry of not complying with any laws and making their own illegal system. The corruption that we talk about daily has huge contribution from the private businesses which are largely family owned. Political corruption is very small portion of the whole corruption and it is largely driven by corporate/business corruption. Tax theft is another problem by these businesses and business owners which itself is illegal. Also, the moral degradation of the society is also largely given by the business owner which is usually involved in corruption and many time violence for economic reasons. Educated people who work under the family businesses gradually understand that working under legal system and ethical ways will not give any output and hence, they see nothing wrong in doing illegal things. Largely the businesses which are mostly owned by baniya family are responsible for corruption.
Hence, the baniya community has must be held responsible and called as the parasites of India economic system.
