Chapter 8 – Krishna As Man
_Hopkins says of Krishna: ”Krishna is a pious hypocrite”……no amount of excuse, of_ _which there is enough offered, could do away with the crude facts of tradition, which_ _represented_ _the man-god Krishna as a clever but unscrupulous fighter….[Pages 90-91]_
Every possible trick and treachery imaginable is used by Krishna without lifting a finger in the great war of the fable, Mahabharata.
_Among Indian pandits, Sukthankar had the fullest knowledge of the case against Krishna,_ _and to the best of my knowledge his is the ablest summary_ _of that case. It reads: That_ _paradox of paradoxes!..........A grotesque character who claims to be the highest god and__behaves uncommonly like a “tricky mortal”…….[Page 92]_
Even Sukthankar a Krishna author-devotee admits the culpability of Krishna’s highly unscrupulous behavior and breaking all protocols of honorable conduct. Even though Krishna admits been ashamed of committing a sin by his dishonorable acts there is no retribution or guilt at all by the highest god-man or man-god of the Hindu pantheon.
Chapter 9 – Krishna as Statesman
_It was that concern_ _which urged him to set up Krishna as a symbol of resurgent India_ _–_ _united, free, powerful……[Page 98]_
Bankimchandra Chatterji the supposed pioneer of modern Indian literature propped up a completely flawed man-god as the inspiring (god-man) statesman for the rest of India to emulate. That is why Indians became emasculated permanently.
_When Krishna was unable at any time in his long life to unify his own Yadava people, is_ _it not preposterous to claim on his_ _behalf that he was a great statesman who unified the_ _whole of India?.....Krishna himself joined in the massacre in its final stages. To call such__a man a far-sighted statesman, a great unifier of the nation, is to take leave of one’s_ _senses……[Pages 102-103]_
Logic gets thrown out and bombastic adulations are poured onto Krishna when in reality, a man such as him would be reviled in any other country on Earth based on his conduct.
