History of Twisted Minds

It was one of those rare moments where emotions conflict and you don't know whether to laugh or cry. While most of Hindus were celebrating Dussehra, yet another festival of Good triumphing over Evil by goddess Durga putting an end to Mahishasura  there were a few doing something that would count as one of those What The Duck !!! moments.
There are a group of people who were mourning Mahishasura's death mentioning that he was a great king and leader who belonged to backward castes and since the history was written by people didn't belong to their caste, fiddled with it and made it a glorious day which should have actually been a Black Day. They argue that people should read and try to understand history properly, only then they would know how great Mahishasura was and how he was destroyed by a Goddess belonging to a forward caste.
Now somebody try and explain them the difference between mythology and history, no wait don't, unless you belong to those backward castes chances are that you too will try to cover up the real history. being a fair person that I am, I tried to take their argument and do some research . Things that I found were more than shocking and can be read from here and here
Both claim that this guy was not even a complete human being but a cross between a demon and a she buffalo, wherein the demon fell in love (whether it was one sided or mutual is not known) with a she buffalo (or a demoness in the form of a buffalo) and this was the product of their consummation. It is also given that the demon while making this orgasmic trans-species love, was attacked and killed by another wild buffalo. Well who wouldn't, wouldn't you if one of your kind was being molested by one of a different kind, as if the competition within the same species wasn't tough enough. For those of you thinking and getting disgusted about the whole demon on buffalo thingy, come on this guy was returning after a great penance where in he was deprived of all the worldly pleasures for a long long period of time. There are people who would molest dogs because they missed their wives.Now we know the origins of these kind of people.
However I didn't find any trace of Mahishasura being a great king of the downtrodden, no doubt these forward caste bastards have eliminated all the evidences and twisted all the facts even on internet. Now I join these humble people and mourn the death and condemn the oppression that has been and is still being carried out by the so called forward caste. Shame on you..

Update: After some more research A.K.A surfing internet i found about this tribe who mourn the death of mahishasura and some more info here and here . All these articles talk about a specific tribe, please don't confuse them with the well educated city dwelling people I have mentioned above.

  2. this news attracted me in a different way...

    Kshatriyas feel proud that they are from the aryan group. Same thing with brahmins i guess, there is nothing much told about other clans... Suryavamshis feel they are the descendants of Lord Rama.

    Mythology is mostly visualized stuff...if i can think about something that might have happened...

    I feel that this land was of dark people...who are short...Aryans were told to be tall and handsome people...we cant say that they are invaders...people migrate to various places, and the stronger rules.

    There could be something like this, which wud have happened, where a less civilized community of the mother land witnessed the raising of more civilized community, which conquered and rules them which raised in a mixed culture with the later limited to the lower classes of society in the initial phase...everything cud have got mixed up later...

    U can imagine more and more...Their cud be some gr8 rulers in this dark community who were having good vision.
