More than thousands have passed, before a Hindu king has
ruled the country that is called as India. In this period the different parts
of the country are ruled by Hindu kings. But after the Islamic invasion, the
hold the Hindu kings has minimized and not eliminated. But after the Christian
Invasion through the Portuguese, British, etc both the Islamic, Hindu Kings
have lost their powers and were subservient to the British, even though there
was indirect to the national freedom movement. The failure to collective act
for the cause of the freedom has been a bane.
For many Hindus residing in India, this country belongs to
them and these Hindus have absorbed many other religions and also refugees from
around the world. But for Muslims the country belongs to them, and to them the
history country starts with the Islamic invasion, and previous to that there is
is no history. For the Christians who think India belongs to them, the history
starts with the Aryans who have migrated from Central Asia. Buddhists have the history
starting with Gautama Buddha; Sikhs have a history starting from the Guru
Nanak, etc. The Communists have written
the history of India that is being taught in the so called modern schools.
Analysis from recent history tells that Christians have originated
during the rule of British, and with the ousting of the British the religion
would become weaker. Thus large proportions of the wealth are transferred to
the CSI and thus a continuous funding is established for the propagating and
sustenance of the religion. Though Christians form only 3.7% of the population,
the Church Empire is the second largest employer after the Government and also
the second largest land holder after the government. Church exerts tremendous amounts of influence
in the socio-political affairs of this nation through the spurious NGO that
crop up for a variety of works.
The Islamic Kings have also propagated their religion with
forceful conversions, although there may be some who have willfully converted
for reason best hidden in the history. Just like the Hindu temples have vast
lands given away by the erstwhile kings for the maintenance of the temples, the
Muslim kings too followed similar steps. The WAKF Board oversees the properties
also has huge tracts of prime lands in the country and the value of which runs
into billions. The Christian, Muslim
wealth of the religious institutions are not touched by the government because
of the minority status and for other political reasons.
The Hindu temple properties are under the control of
government and only a part of which is given back for the maintenance of the
temples. In all the cases be it Hindus, Muslims, Christians the politicians are
always trying to eat into the properties and there are enough scams that show
this trends and those relating to the later are hushed up while that or the
former are blown out of proportions as is the trend of the media, press. The
three major religions are always against each other. The Christians, Muslims
though not native to this land have gained enough hold in the political affairs
and influencing the policy matters to suit their requirements which is making
the Hindus aliens in their own land.
The other minority religions like Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains,
Parsis, etc though are strong economically have to join the Hindus because
there is no separate nation for them and will never get a land. Any retaliation
by Hindus is portrayed negatively and the Muslims and Christians are shown as
victims. But the bigger question is whether can there peace between these three
communities? In a broad sense there can never be peace and this is a difficult
to accept truth. But the leaders of various religions talk about peace which is
never possible. Many of the wars in the past are due to religious and
ideological differences and religion being the prime reason. Thus in such a
situation, if India has to develop into a global power what needs to be done is
a big question for which there no clear answer till date.
Many people have accepted Modi as a Hindutva Icon, Hindu Hriday
Samrat because he allowed the killings of Muslims. As a matter of fact Modi
tried to stop the violence in the communally sensitive state of Gujarat after
the Godhra train burning incident, but since there was no help from the neighboring
states the violence has escalated and some view him as a hero and some as villain.
There is enough print material that support both the version of the history and
in the course time the truth will get burial with no one knowing the official
position of the nation. This has been going on for centuries; the true official
version is never debated by people from different walks of life. The official
version is the one which the communists have written and never debated. Only
time will tell whether Modi can do something to strengthen the nation for the Hindus
in particular or go on with the secular agenda to hold onto to power or will go
on with the developmental of all and appeasement of none agenda.
A recent judgment by the Income Tax Tribunal states that
Hinduism as not a religion. In the application form of one university, in the
religion category Hindu is not given as a option, but muslim, Christian, Buddhism,
Jainism and others were the options. The kumbh mela is considered as the
achievement of the secular credentials of the nation. There is a willful subjugation of the Hindu religion
and many forces are trying to make it extinct. The problem that is more predominant
is that the moderates of other religions are not speaking against the fanatics
that exist. Russian President has declared that Russia belongs to the Russians
and if minorities want to change the laws to change the laws, then they can get
out of his country. So have the Germans, Swiss expressed their concerns
expressed by the minorities.
There is intolerance in all the religions except Hinduism
and is the reason for its slow demise. The Naga Sadhus are supposed to be the religious
soldiers who are reason for the continuance of the Hindu religion and Kumbh
mela is one such thanks giving day to the Naga Sadhus. During the recently
concluded Kumbh Mela a Sankaracharya has talked about the sad state of affairs
and the politicizing of the Naghas. Sankaras are the teachers of the Nagas and
now the Nagas are showing disrespect the Sankaras, which is a sign of mind
corruption. Till will tell in what way and how much more this ideological corruption
will extend.
There can never a cure to such religious wars and all will
end in a bloody war in which millions will lose their lives. All the economic,
political manipulations done by various countries are in preparation for this
ultimate war of ideologies. All throughout the past 1000years the big war is
being postponed only for a future date. Two minor lapses have occurred but the
balance of religions has not changed in a big way. When religion interferes in the politics,
economics intereferes in religion and the line between all the three is
blurring and the reason is the control. A few hungry men are waiting to control
the entire human race and the please derived by such control is enormous and
there are many who want to partake the pleasures of control.
Everything evolves with time and no rule is permanent. When
the tyranny one group exceeds the tolerance of another group, the size of the
groups does not matter but the force matters. The silence of those who are suffering
be it hindus, muslims, Christians will only end when the truth comes out
through the force. Every religion has blood on its hands in the name of dharma,
because dharma is a relative term, but for peaceful coexistence a universal
dharma has to be established. As peace is only temporary in the age of
Kaliyuga, there is no end to the sufferings of all, hence people seek pleasures
in mundane activities. The pain suffering is reduced by curing the symptoms but
not the disease.
The disease is the ideological-religious difference has no
cure and thus the world will forever continue to be in turmoil, with hope occasionally
given by a few leaders for a short period of times. In such troubled times real
peace can be found in the mind. The inner peace is more predominant than the
external peace. The guidance of spirituality is to be taken and when the world
will breakdown into individuality and no collectivity can there be peace.
Dynamism being the norm of the universe will never be allowed, because the laws
of nature cannot be broken. The sufferings continue and the pursuit of
happiness also continues. Those who believe that the Cure will be available in
the future are the optimists and those who donot are the pessimists.
The cure to problems of India is linked to the cure to the
world, because of variety of people present in such a small land. India is
microcosm of the macro world and thus has become a laboratory to many. The testing
is killing many people with no results and will continue for a long time. Cure
lies in understanding the truth and be in the pursuit of spiritual realization.
The material life should be valued only a means to sustenance of life.
