Articles: My Thoughts | Cry for a Hindu Nation

Thus we have before us two alternate perceptions of our nation and nationhood one of Swami Vivekananda and other of Jawaharlal Nehru. Swami Vivekananda represented the time-defying sources and forces of truth; Jawaharlal Nehru represented the sources and forces of falsehood, fraud and ignorance. Swami Vivekananda says that Hindu Dharma is the quintessence of our national life, hold fast to it if you want your country to survive, or else you would be wiped out in three generations. Jawaharlal Nehru, a mere 50 years later, tells us that if the Hindu Dharma thrives, the country will smash to pieces. To quote the telling words of Abhas Chatterjee: 'Swami Vivekananda says that Hindu culture is the life-current of our nation, Jawaharlal Nehru says it would injure the nation even to talk of Hindu culture. One was supremely proud of being a Hindu, the other so ashamed of it as to reject it as an accident of birth.'
Obviously, both these perceptions cannot be right at the same time. The bounden duty that falls upon every patriotic Indian today is to ask the fundamental question: who is telling the truth, Swami Vivekananda or Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru? At any rate the mercenaries in the UPA Government, I hope, would not degenerate to the extent of dismissing Swami Vivekananda as communal and saffronized. To such puerile and petty men, I would like give this rejoinder: Vivekananda was not interested in becoming Prime Minister and starting a Vivekananda dynasty.
The greatest tragedy in our national life after 1947, much more disastrous than the invasion of India by Muslim Marauders like Timur in 1398, Babar in 1526, Nadir Shah in 1739 and Ahmed Shah Abdali in 1756-57, has been the invasion of Nehruvian secularism which started on August 15, 1947 and is still continuing unabated and unchallenged, clothed in the aura of official authority, now institutionalized into a Nehru family heirloom.
Nehru's viciously political concept of a geographical or composite nation, Nehruism or secularism, a pernicious anti-Hindu ideology, came to be lauded, acclaimed, promoted and propagated by most political parties and the mafia of mass media in India and abroad, under the name of secularism till it came to be treated as beyond reproach, beyond public debate and discussion. Nehru and his family used the might of their public offices for three generations to implant this poisonous weed of secularism in the Hindu psyche. This has led to some disastrous socio-political consequences.
The first implication was that Hindus being the largest community, it was latently and potentially dangerous for the other communities. Government of India and its agencies master-minded this propaganda. Secondly, since this community posed a potential threat to the other communities, the better it would be for the health of the nation if the Hindu community is check-mated on every issue affecting them. Nehru's own official pronouncements from time to time till his death in 1964 will bear out this fact. Thirdly, the good of the other communities was also automatically the national good because their participation constituted a crucial element of our nationhood.
As Abhas Chatterjee succinctly puts it: 'Hence the theory of Nehruism/secularism: Make the Hindu community as weak as you can, by creating internal divisions in it, by denigrating its culture, by inflicting insults upon it, and by whatever other means you can afford. All the right thinking and independent-spirited Indians in India and abroad have become fully aware of the vicious efforts that have been made by the Congress during the last 50 years to weaken the Hindus in pursuance of this theory.'
