Uproar over viral video of Hindutva leader saying he would have shot Ambedkar like Godse shot Gandhi
Hyderabad: A video of Hamara Prasad, the founder of Rashtriya Dalita Sena, a Hindutva organization is doing rounds across social media platforms wherein he can be seen saying he would’ve shot Dr. BR Ambedkar if he was alive when Ambedkar authored the book ‘Riddles in Hinduism: An exposition to enlighten the masses’.
In the video, Hamara Prasad while expressing displeasure over the book, says “This man (Ambedkar) apparently is an intellectual with 12 Degrees (Masters). A national leader should treat all the people of the country equally. Even if he suffers, he should not show his hatred against others.” Hamara Prasad also stated that Ambedkar has hurt the sentiments of crores of Hindus by writing such “garbage”. “Had I been born when Ambedkar was alive, and if I had come across this book, like how Godse shot Gandhi I would have shot Ambedkar.”
RS Praveen Kumar, the Telangana Chief of the Bahujan Samaj Party, in a tweet sought action against Prasad and asked the government to file a case against Prasad under sections 153 A (Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and the Preventive Detention Act and imprison him.
Dalit activist, Karthik Narayan, has also filed an online complaint with the Hyderabad cyber crime police for “creating and forwarding videos abusing Dr. BR Ambedkar and hurting the sentiments of the Scheduled Caste citizens.”
But, according to a report published in The News Minute, the Hyderabad Cybercrime Police has said that they are yet to receive any complaint against Prasad. The report also added that some Dalit activists have urged the Telangana police to register a case suo-motu and immediately arrest Hamara Prasad.
The book Riddles in Hinduism critically examines the Hindu religion. Describing the purpose of the book, Ambedkar writes in its introduction, “This book is an exposition of the beliefs propounded by what might be called Brahmanic theology. It is intended for the common mass of Hindus who need to be awakened to know in what quagmire the Brahmins have placed them and to lead them onto the road of rational thinking. The Brahmins have propagated the view that the Hindu civilization is Sanatan, that is, unchanging.”
“This view has been reinforced by many of European Scholars who have said that the Hindu civilization is static. In this book, I have attempted to show that this view is not in accord with facts and that Hindu Society has changed from time to time, and that oftentimes the change is of the most radical kind. In this connection, compare the Riddles from Himsa to Ahimsa and from Ahimsa back to Himsa. I want to make the mass of people realize that the Hindu religion is not Sanatan.”
Ambedkar in the book states that the “second purpose of this book is to draw the attention of the Hindu masses to the devices of the Brahmins and to make them think for themselves how they have been deceived and misguided by the Brahmins.”

Ex-Army officer assaulted, robbed at gunpoint by woman he met through matrimonial website
Mathura(UP), Apr 5 (PTI): A retired Army colonel from Haryana has filed a police complaint here, alleging that he was held hostage, assaulted, looted and forced to participate in an "obscene video" at gunpoint with a woman he met through a matrimonial website, police said on Saturday.
The woman from Mathura, who was allegedly in on the plan to rob him, was working with other accomplices, the ex-armyman said in his complaint filed on Thursday.
According to Barsana Station House Officer (SHO) Raj Kamal Singh, Colonel Rajneesh Soni (retired), a resident of Gurugram, reported that he was contacted by a woman from Barsana on a matrimonial website in January. The woman allegedly agreed to marry him, and they began communicating.
The woman allegedly persuaded the colonel to visit Barsana on January 25, requesting that he visit the Radharani temple. When he arrived, she arranged for his stay at a guest house and took him on a tour of the area, including a visit to the temple, the complainant said.
After returning to the guest house, the woman and her accomplices allegedly told the colonel that her brother had been involved in an accident and they needed to leave immediately. They then led him to a waiting car.
"Once outside the town limits, the colonel alleges that he was attacked by the occupants of the car. They seized his phone, physically assaulted him, and forced him to contact relatives and friends to transfer money," the SHO said.
"He was then taken back to the guest house, where he was allegedly forced to participate in obscene videos and photographs at gunpoint. He was threatened that the videos would be made public if he reported the incident," the officer said.
The colonel has alleged that his purse, bag, gold chain, debit card and Rs. 12,000 in cash were stolen from the guest house.
After an unsuccessful attempt at locating the perpetrators himself, the colonel finally reported the incident to the Barsana police two days ago, he said.
"A case has been registered under relevant sections of the BNS and all facts are being investigated. Further action will be taken as per facts found in the investigation," the SHO said.
