It is not her Dharma to become another Stalin's or Hitler's or Mao-Tse-Tung's alien land. Nor is it her Dharma to adopt an exclusive religious belief like that of one Allah Islam or One God Christianity which claim that all other religions are false, inferior or out of date. Above all, it is not India's Dharma to slavishly imitate the west in culture, mind or religion.
Should not India wake up to her destiny? That destiny beckons us to revive her spiritual culture and share it for the benefit of all mankind. This demands that the intellectual elite of the country desist from denigrating the soul of India in hasty and superficial pseudo-secular attempts to be modern and humanitarian. It calls for a new Hinduism that is capable of shedding the social evils of older Hinduism while maintaining the perennial and greater spiritual basis of the tradition.
The main task before us Hindus today is that we should rescue ourselves from the suicidal stranglehold of the alternative Nation-Perception of Gandhi and Nehru, and awaken national consciousness in ourselves. We have to develop a clear national vision.
According to Abhas Chatterjee, such a national vision would mean the following:
- We Hindus are a Nation, not a religious community. There must be a firm conviction in our minds that our national identity is Hindu. We would declare the name of our nationality to be Hindu, and no other name would be acceptable to us.
- The distinctive feature of our Nation is Sanatana Dharma. In its myriad forms such as Shakta, Shaiva, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain etc. It is this Dharma which gives us our national identity. We shall not accept any other ideology as a heritage of our country. We cannot regard any alien creed as our own religion.
- Undivided India or Akhand Bharath is our mother-land. Even though parts of India have seceded today, we do not accept this division. Our goal is to re-unite the whole of our ancestral homeland into our motherland, no matter how long it takes.
- Hindu culture is our national culture. Hindu society is our national society. Hindu art is our national art. Hindu literature is our national literature. Hindu history is our national history.
- People subscribing to the theologies of alien religions are minorities in our country. We consider these alien ideologies to be enemies of the nation. Our goal ought to be to bring them back into the mainstream of our national heritage.
- Sanskrit, mother of all Indian languages, is our national mother tongue.
