In the 11th
Century C.E, when the Muslim marauders first set foot on their karma bhoomi, the Hindus, as noted by
Al-Biruni, were wont to proclaim that “there is no country but theirs,
no nation like theirs, no kings like theirs, no religion like theirs, and no
science like theirs”. However, eight-hundred years of Islamic consolidation in
their land followed by nearly two-hundred years of Christian colonization of it that eventually
led to its partition saw the Hindus fall from those heights of self-belief into
the valley of doubt. Thus, it was no wonder that in their freedom struggle to
wriggle out of the British yoke, more Hindus preferred to head towards the
gaols as pacifist Gandhi’s satyagrahis
rather than to enter the battlefields as Netaji’s sainiks to kill and get killed.
What is worse, India’s Macaulay
Machine minted Gandhi as the peaceful conqueror of the mighty British Raj never
mind Clement Attlee, who facilitated the change of guard, attributed their
withdrawal to the gathering clouds of rebellion in their Indian army barracks
rather than to the m-i-n-i-m-a-l influence of the non-violent Quit India
movement that any way had fizzled out soon enough.
However,
by then Gandhi, drunk with the adoration of the mindless multitudes, who
blindly revered him as Mahatma, had truncated the Hindu edict, ahimsa paramo dharmaha / dharma himsa thadhaiva cha (nonpareil is non-violence / no less righteous violence) to preach the
former, even in the face of the Islamic barbarities against the hapless Hindus.
Moreover, against the age-old Hindu edict, dushta
sikshana shishta rakshana (Punish the evildoer, protect the righteous), he
propagated that “Hindus should not harbour anger in their hearts against
Muslims even if the latter wanted to destroy them. Even if the Muslims
want to kill us all we should face death bravely. If they established their
rule after killing Hindus we would be ushering in a new world by sacrificing
our lives.” Further, in his unabashed Muslim appeasement, he even equated the
Secular Rama with the Sectarian Allah by corrupting the original bhajan, Raghupati Raghav Raja Ram with the insertion of Ishwar Allah Tero Nam. Nevertheless, in spite of it all, Muslims
destined him to hell for being kafir for the heavenly gates are opened only to
the Musalmans never mind they are criminals; well it serves the stupid right.
Yet, as if to
ensure his irrational tolerance to the Muslim intolerance became the new dharma
of the Hindu majority India, he anointed Nehru, who vouched that “I’m English
by education, a Muslim by culture, just born a Hindu by accident”, as its first
Prime Minister. No wonder then that Nehru in turn appointed Maulana
Abul Kalam Azad as culturally Hindu India’s first Education Minister, who
picked up from where Macaulay
left; indeed in the Hindu-inimical Congress dispensation it had five Muslim Education
Ministers! As by then, the Macaulay
mission to divest the Hindus from their “false history, false astronomy, false
medicine, in company with their false religion” with the right western
education was on course, the Maulana only needed to provide a loop line of the
Islamic conquests in India to sidetrack the Hindu minds from the glorious
empires of that time in the South of Vindhyas and elsewhere. However, as a
staunch Musalman, he let his Indian Muslim Brotherhood stay put in their madrasas to remain as they were in 1871 as recorded by W. W. Hunter in The Indian
Musalmans thus:
“During the last forty years they have
separated themselves from the Hindus by differences of dress, of salutations,
and other exterior distinctions, such as they never deemed necessary in the
days of their supremacy.”
This new craving of the Indian Musalmans for separateness might have
naturally led to the clamor for more madrasas for the intensification of
religious education to the young things to make them more Muslim.“
Thus, as the agenda of Hindu enervation
and the Muslim aggrandizement went on unabated for well over six decades,
Krishna’s words in Bhagvad-Gita seemed hollow:
Wanes
if good ’n vile gain reign
Know it's then that I come forth.
yadā yadā hi dharmasya
glānir bhavati bhārata
abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛijāmyaham
It’s
thus I from time to time
Manifest here to uproot ill
And uphold well for public good.

Verses
7 ‘n 8 in Chapter 4 of the writer’s Bhagvad-Gta: Treatise of Self-help
This was during his Gitopadesa to Arjuna, as
the eighth avatar of Vishnu, manifested to end the vile rein of Kamsa, apart
from the Kauravas, who had dethroned the righteous Pandavas by stealth. Besides
egging the enervated Pandava prince to fight for the just cause, he reaffirmed
the dharma of yore that he fashioned for mankind which in his own words “followed world My
word for long / Lost which mankind in due course.” Having helped the Pandavas
to trounce the Kauravas in the battle royale at Kurukshetra that enabled them
to establish dharma rajya in Bharata
Khanda, Vishnu unmanifested his avatara.
However, as time passed by in the ancient past, owing to
the mundane distortions in the divine discourse that the Bhagavad-Gita is, the
debilitating caste biases and the irrational ritual practices became the new
norm of sanatana dharma to the
immense hurt of the Hindu society as argued in the writer’s Inane Interpolations in Bhagvad-Gita (An
Invocation for their Revocation). So, in time, it fell upon Siddhartha, as Gautam
Buddha, to negate the twin evils that came to bedevil the polity, so to say,
not as a reformer within but as a rebel without to espouse the breakaway
Buddhism. Though in the end, Hinduism managed to eclipse the new religion from
the land of its birth, yet it failed to fully drive away its pacifist shadows
from its skies, and just the same it ridiculously absorbed its founder in its
religious fold as the ninth avatar of Vishnu! So as Kalki, the tenth and the
final avatar, hasn’t manifested to put an end to it all, in spite of the raging
adharma, which the Hindu polity had to bear for over a millennium, the ninth
slot seemed vacant yet.
But it took Antonia Maino, the Italian imposter, who,
thanks to the Hindu- allergic Hindu politicians got the power on a platter with
the crypto Christian name of Sonia Gandhi to necessitate a new avatar. While
the Islamic marauders gloated over demolishing the Hindu temples and the
Christian colonizers were content with deprecating the Hindu culture, Sonia set
out to demean and debauch the Hindus in their residual land. To start with, the
humiliating Deepavali midnight arrest of the venerated Jayendra Saraswati, the
Shankaracharya of the exalted Kanchi Kamakoti Peetham, on trumped up murder
charge, though engineered by the corrupt Jayalalitha, given her vulnerability
to Sonia’s political blackmail, could not have been a coincidence. Soon enough, this demonic woman conspired
with the self-serving Hindus to castigate their sanatana dharma as saffron terror by foisting false cases on its
ardent votaries. It is no wonder then that Rahul Gandhi, her dim-witted son,
proclaimed to the world that the Hindu terrorism is far more dangerous than the
Islamic terrorism itself! Besides, aided by a band of Christian cohorts, she
ensured the acceleration of the evangelical activity in the country, all the
while economically degrading it with unbridled graft. That she undermined
India’s national security in devious ways was not a best kept secret in spite
of the silence of the sold out media and the servile academia.
Then Modi, on the anti-graft and the national security
planks, arrived to wrest the decade-long power from her by busting her
anti-national political gang at the hustings. Backed by the public mandate, he
set out to do what he could do in his first term to reverse the ant-Hindu gear
in the hostile eco-system hitherto nursed by the Nehruvian cliché. So, the
sight of him unfurling the Indian tricolor from the ramparts of the Mogul built
Red Fort in Maharaja’s headgear was an eyesore to the Muslim Indians though
they got their Pakistan all for Islam. Maybe no blaming them for the avowed
goal of Islam is to make the whole world Muslim, and any way they make no
secret of it though the others, more so the Hindus, pay no heed to it that is
despite the unerring sound of the Ghazwa-e-Hind call in their ears. Be that as
it may, at the next outing, the limited Hindu pride that his persona and policy
ensued enabled him to trump the sham secularists despite their wont to foster
the minority vote on religious grounds and their penchant to fester the
majority franchise on the caste lines. Needles to say, to his credit, he has
been trying to accelerate the vehicle of change on the Indian secular road
that, however, is too bumpy for its facilitation.
So to speak,
the post-partitioned India’s tom-tommed constitution, was meant, more or less, to diminish the influence of
its Hindu majority and further the demographic growth of its Muslim and the
Christian minorities, the faiths of whom, branding its adherents as kafirs or
heathens, seek to banish Hinduism from the face of the earth. [Read the chapter
Constitutional Amnesia in the writer’s
Puppets
of Faith: Theory of Communal Strife (A critical appraisal of Islamic faith,
Indian polity ‘n more)]. Thus as the tome has it, it’s kosher
for the Musalmans to spew the Quranic venom against the non-believers in their
masjids and madrasas besides publicly proclaiming through the loudspeakers in
their calls for prayers that ‘there is none
worthy of worship except Allah’. Likewise, the constitutional right to propagate their religion, so to
say, licenses the Christians to convert the vulnerable Hindus by branding their
gods as false and falsely proclaiming that they can attain salvation only
through belief in the Christ. Yet, if an aggrieved Hindu (there are not may any
way) were to call a spade a spade, the secular gang dubs that as ‘hate speech’
to be aired all around the world!
It’s an established fact that
during the Islamic hegemony over India, some forty-thousand Hindu temples, many
of which architectural wonders, were desecrated / demolished or modified as
masjids, among them the holiest of the holy ones being Somnath, Ayodhya, Kashi,
and Mathura (Somnath temple was rebuilt by Sardar Patel before the Nehruvian
pro-Muslim ideology took roots). Later though, the self-deprecated Hindus, like
the Pandavas, who sought just five villages from their land that the Kauravas
had usurped, sued for peace with the Musalmans by seeking three holy shrines of
Ayodhya, Kashi, and Mathura, out of thousands of usurpations; well, true to
character, like the Kauravas of yore, the Musalmans of the day refused to yield
none. However, to chagrin of the Musalmans, at long last, in a ‘one act play of
frustration’, the Hindus pulled down the Babri Masjid built over the Rama
janmabhumi in Ayodhya.
However, nothing exemplifies the
Hindu plight in their ‘freed’ country in that they had to wage a long legal
battle to rebuild the Mandir for Ram Lalla (infant Rama) on the very spot of
his birth that was after clearing the Babri debris. That the Musalmans have
been unwilling to part with the masjids in Kashi and Mathura, built over the
temples of Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna respectively, by the Islamic rulers to
humiliate the Hindus betrays their supremacist ethos and the uncompromising
credo. Just the same, the pseudo-seculars and the Islamapologists advocate
status quo ante on the ground that there’s no way of righting the historical
wrongs, which naturally brings the morality of the Indian freedom struggle, not
to speak of the annexation of Goa into question. But if ‘might is right’ then
the forcibly built masjids in Kashi and Mathura, and others, must yield to the
Hindu might of the day.
If Modi
indeed were to be the ninth avatar, besides restoring the purity of the
Bhagvad-Gita by ridding it of its ritualistic as well as the casteist
interpolations to usher in the Hindu renaissance and social unity, he would
rectify the detrimental religious fault
lines in the India-inimical constitution. Equally importantly, besides blinding
the demographic eye of the Abrahamic faiths on Maa Bharati, he would ensure
that they won’t foul mouth the Hindus and their dharma. If not, he could be but
a half avatar meant only to make India strong so that the external developments
on the anvil – the electric vehicle
short-circuit in the Muslim oil wells and the Islamic strife in the Christian
world – would take care of its internal problems.
