The Making of India: Freemasonry ?

[Guest guest]

Some of the Masons in leadership positions of the Arya Samaj were

Harichand Chintaman, Mulji Thakarshi, Chitpavan Brahmin physician, Dr.

Anna Moreshwar Kunte. Thirty-seven Brahmin members of the Samaj,

would be initiated in Lodge Islam in 1878, and affiliated to Lodge Aryan

that same year. (Short History of the Aryan Lodge, in The Aryan Lodge.

No. 30 G11, Centennial Jubilee Celebrations, December 9, 1978)

 

Much as Viceroy Dufferin and A.O. Hume envisioned for the Indian

National Congress, the lodge could also be seen by British Masons-many

of them British officials-as a "safety valve" for their increasingly

demanding and vocal handiwork, namely, the westem-educated Indian.

Freemasonry must have seemed to them an even safer safety valve

than the Congress, since the leadership of Freemasonry in India was in

the hands of the colonial administrators, sometimes Governors,

Viceroys, or Commanders-in-Chief, sometimes High Court judges or

Municipal Council heads. Seen from this perspective, Freemasonry was

an ideal tool for "system maintenance" within the Raj. While it had not

been created for this purpose, the British were not slow to try to apply it

to this end. Yet, just as the British Raj contained ideological

contradictions ideas of the unity and equality of all imperial subjects

versus theories of racial superiority and Western cultural exceptionalism

so too did a number of British Masons see Freemasonry not as a tool of

imperialism, but as having great deeds to do in India by uniting the

governors and the govemed a notion which was applied by all British

Masons to varying degrees, depending, of course, on how seriously they

took the principle of brotherhood.

 

The Masons of Bengal in the 1860s knew what opening up Freemasonry

to Indians would mean, and they were dead set against it. It was Lord

Zetland (the English Grand Master) and his deputy, Lord Ripon, who in

the 1860s had to insist upon the principle of universal brotherhood and,

in doing so, promoted, albeit from the top down, a new vision of empire

among Masons.

 

Indian Masons assimilated only too well to the British imperial

community-to the point of becoming "brothers" to the English, Scotish,

and Welsh-and they strove to obtain the rights and privileges which

attended this fraternal assimilation. This was the genesis of the

nationalist impulse among the westem-educated Indians.

 

They envisioned and expected to live in an empire of nationalities, in

which Indians played an equal role with whites in governing the Indian

Empire. Unfortunately for them, the British were simultaneously forging

a national identity based on their superior position in the Empire. In the

contest between these two nationalisms, British and Indian, the middle

path of an imperial brotherhood based on parity would necessarily lose

out. Indian Masons, then. who had gone a long way in reaching parity

with the British in the lodge, sought the same thing in the Raj as

nationalists, but were to find that parity there was "blocked," or at least

too slow in coming.

 

At the first Congress in 1885, Dadabliai Naoroji explained what drew the

westerneducated Indians politically to the British: 'What attaches us to

this foreign rule with deeper loyalty than even our own past Native rule,

is the fact that Britain is the parent of free and representative

Government and that we, as her subjects and children, are entitled to

inherit the great blessing of freedom and representation.' (Briton

Martin,, New India, 1885, p. 298)

 

In the front ranks of Indian leaders in the early Congress Party (and

even before) were a number of Masons: Dadabliai Naoroji, Pherozeshah

Mehta, Badruddin Tyabji, Narayan Chandavarkar, among those in

Bombay. In Bengal, there was W.C. Bonnedee, Man Mohan Ghosh, and

Rash Behari Ghosh, and probably others whom research in lodges there

would no doubt turn up.

 

What these men wanted was respect, to be treated like equals, to

be "brothers" with the British in running India, just as they

were "brothers" with them in the lodges.

 

An examination of the Masonic Presidents of the Indian National

Congress from its inception in 1885 to the Surat "split" between

Moderates and Extremists in 1907, is impressive. Of the Congress

Presidents from the Bombay Presidency, a staggering seventy-eight

percent-were Freemason. In addition, one President-Lal Mohan Ghosh

was the brother of the Mason, Man Mohan Ghosh, and thus may have

been a Mason himself (which would have made forty-eight percent of

the I.N.C. Presidents Masons):

My fellow Indians, Aise logon Ki baton mein mat aana, jinka kam hi jooth bolna hai. My Indian friends you have been mislead to believe that evil British empire has left India. They are still controlling Indian politics and economics through covert network of masonic lodges, the masonic lodges established by them in India as military lodges for British soldiers during the British colonial rule, are still operating within India under the cloak of charitable organization. The corrupt masonic politicians of India are directly serving the political and economic interests of their western imperial masters. India has biggest amount of black money stashed in various foreign banks all over the world, all due to these corrupt masonic politicians. Don't let any Freemason fool you.

 

Never forget the atrocities committed by British colonists on Indian people and always remember the sacrifices of our real freedom fighters. British colonists treated Indians like dogs, the famous slogan on their buildings was "dogs and Indians not allowed". The tyrannical British rule in India that lasted for 350 years, resulted in an estimated 40 million deaths due to several bloody massacres and famine creation policies of British colonial governors that turned minor droughts into widespread famines (even though their was no food scarcity) which killed millions. Lord chelmsford, Thomas gibson carmichael, Lord dalhousie, Lord elgin, charles cornwallis all of these were Freemasons and were at administrative ranks in the british raj. Robert Clive who made huge profits through pillaging and plundering India was also a Freemason, and lord mountbatten who played a major role in partition of india was also a Freemason. And their are several others like them, who drained the wealth of India, and turned this richest country into a poorest country.

 

Establishing freemasonry in India was a evil plan of these Freemason colonists to keep exercising their control over politics and economy of India even after the so called "freedom of India from British rule". The mounting pressure of anti-British raj freedom movement led by mahatma Gandhi, made these masonic colonists to leave India but they managed to establish a fake democracy in India which is directly serving the interests of western imperialists.

 

The whole freedom struggle of India was infiltrated by this malevolent brotherhood of freemasonry, freedom fighters like Motilal Nehru, Sir C P Ramaswamy Iyer (Divan of Travancore), C. Rajagopalachary (Governor General of India), Dr. P V Cheriy (Governor of Maharashtra), Fakruddin Ali Ahmed (President of India) etc. were all freemasons and were puppets of British empire in indian freedom struggle. Some of them were also members of drafting committee of Indian constitution and many freemasons become presidents. Only freedom fighters like Bhagat singh, bal gangadhar tilak, Chandrashekhar Azad etc. were fighting for freedom of india, but unfortunately the masonic brotherhood in congress party deceived them all and silenced them before they achieved the goal of freedom of India from British empire.

 

So, my Indian friends their was no actual freedom struggle, it was all orchestrated and well planned by the Freemasons of British empire to establish a govt. covertly run by masonic brotherhood; and through which they can easily dominate Indian political and economic system.

 

In the 21st century 50% of India is living on less than $2, 100 million children go to bed hungry every night and 62% of people in India live without electricity. And this pathetic situation will not change, unless the disease of freemasonry is eliminated from India.

 

Indians rise up and destroy freemasonry.
