Brahminist-Occupied Government

(Dalitstan, Mughalstan, Dravidistan, Nagaland, Khalistan, Urdustan, Sakastan, Manipur, Rajputa)

http://www.angelfire.com/ns/brahmin/ (“Allies of Mughalstanism” – “The aim of the "Brahminist Occupied Governments" website is to provide a central directory of human rights and nationalist organisations working for the preservation of endangered nationalities in South Asia. Indeed, since 1947, `secular democratic India' has been in effect a Brahminist Empire, suppressing its non-Hindu and non-Brahmin populations. As a result of systematic repression and genocide, several independance movements have arisen amongst the suppressed sub-nationalities. It is hoped that, by spreading awareness about atrocites perpetrated against these peoples and their struggle for freedom, an improvement in the human rights situation shall result.” – from the website)
