Articles: My Thoughts | Cry for a Hindu Nation

A Hindu nation founded on Sanatana Dharma ought to be the cherished goal of all the Hindus in India today and not a fraudulent nation founded on pseudo-secularism.
All the Roman Catholics have their own nations. All the Protestant Christians have their own nations. All the Muslims have their own nations. The Hindus have been the primordial citizens of Akhand Bharat from the beginning of pre-history and they cannot be denied a spiritual and physical space of their own in their own native land.
The saddest part of the story is that the dastardly policy of pseudo-secularism has made all the peace-loving Hindus neglected, sidelined and discarded refugees in their own native land. In this context, Sri Aurobindo spoke for all the Hindus for all time on April 18, 1923 when he said:
'I am sorry they are making a fetish of this Hindu-Muslim unity. It is no use ignoring facts; some day the Hindus may have to fight the Muslims and they must be prepared for it. Hindu-Muslim unity should not mean the subjection of the Hindus. Every time the mildness of the Hindus has given way. The best solution would be to allow the Hindus to organize themselves and the Hindu-Muslim unity would take care of itself; it would automatically solve the problem. Otherwise, we are lulled into a false sense of satisfaction that we have solved a difficult problem, when in fact we have only shelved it.'
In my view Sri Aurobindo was no less patriotic than Sonia Gandhi, Arjun Singh, A.R. Antulay and Dr. Manmohan Singh!
To routinely dismiss all Hindus as fundamentalists or fascist as the pseudo-secular politicians in India do today, in my view, is a gross abuse of language. To conclude in the beautiful words of David Frawley (better known as Vamadeva Shastri):
'What Hindus need is to wake up and unite, to recognize their common spiritual heritage and work together to manifest it in the world today, just as modern teachers like Vivekananda and Aurobindo demonstrated through their lives and teachings. Such teachers did not speak of Hindu fundamentalism. They recognized Hindu backwardness, but sought to remedy it by going to the core of Hindu spirituality, the spirit of Unity in recognition of the Divine in all, not by trying to cast a shadow on Hinduism as a whole'.
The first Quit India Movement launched by Mahatma Gandhi in August 1942 was directed towards removing the British rule from India. The Congress party under Nehru launched a 'new' Quit India Movement after our independence in 1947. This Movement right from the start had an opposite intent, to embrace Western materialist culture and abandon traditional Hindu culture and spirituality perhaps altogether. Nehru declared his political intention to drive out Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma from India. This movement is very strong in India today, particularly among the so-called modern Hindus, who are largely Western-educated and trained to look at their native tradition with alien values and suspicious eyes.
