Pseudo-Secularism

Hindu dharma is implicitly at odds with monotheistic intolerance. What is happening in India is a new historical awakening... Indian intellectuals, who want to be secure in their liberal beliefs, may not understand what is going on. But every other Indian knows precisely what is happening: deep down he knows that a larger response is emerging even if at times this response appears in his eyes to be threatening.

Vote to protect Hindutva

11th Dharma Sansad in Puri
From Sanjaya Jena in Puri

Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) will no more extend its exclusive support to any political party. Instead it would create at least 15 crore voters’ base—Hindu vote-bank—which would later be transferred to those parties that accept its 13-point charter of agenda approved by saints and sadhus at the 11th Dharma Sansad held in Puri, Orissa.

Apart from creation of Hindu vote-bank, through eight other resolutions the saints called upon the government and Hindus to rise to the cause of Hindus, which is necessary for furthering the interest of Indian nation as a whole.

More than 2,000 saints from Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Sikkim unanimously endorsed the resolution urging all political parties to accept Hindu agenda to get the Hindu votes. The Sansad in Puri was fifth in a row.

Saying that all political parties in India are on the path of appeasing Muslims for their consolidated vote-bank, the firebrand VHP general secretary, Dr Pravin Togadia announced that with a powerful Hindu vote-bank at place, all political parties would bend backward to support the Hindu cause.

Saying that they do not have any interest in any party or individual, the VHP announced that the Hindu cause, which is synonymous with the interest of the great Bharatmata, is supreme to them and any party that accepts the Hindu charter of agenda and commits to implement them would get blessings of saints and support of Hindus in general.

Taking another landmark decision, the saints decided to campaign throughout the country to convince Hindus in India to not restrict themselves to two children norm.

“As demographers have forecasted that Hindus in India would come at par with Muslim population by 2060, if present trend of population growth continues, the saints thought it necessary to campaign among their disciples to have more children,” Shri Ashok Singhal, VHP president, said.

While resolving to go ahead with its agenda to reconstruct Shri Ram temple at Ayodhya, the saints called upon the central government to pave the way for reconstruction of the temple respecting the sentiments of the Hindus, through a central legislation. The Sansad fixed a deadline for this till the next Sansad to be held at Prayagraj in 2007. If the government does that then there would be no need to go for another people’s movement. Otherwise, saints would have no option but to again go to streets for another mass mobilisation, the VHP said.

The saints, while comparing terrorist’s attack on Ram Janmabhoomi in July 2005 with Babar’s attack on the shrine in 1528, praised the valiant act of jawans who killed the jehadis on the spot.

The Sansad further demanded autonomy to Hindu temples and maths and urged the government to hand over these institutions to saints and Hindu society. The saints also called upon Hindus to meet on regular basis and organise weekly religious congregations in the math-mandirs.

The saints in another resolution demanded to accord the status of national scripture to Bhagvad Gita. The Sansad unanimously said it would be improper to restrict the scripture to any sect or religion. Saying that Gita has the power to transform any evil man into a normal person, the saints urged the government to accept their advice.

The saints unanimously blessed the seven-member constitution bench of the Supreme Court, which gave favourable strictures on protection of cows. The saints challenged the constitutional validity of cow slaughter on the pretext of earning livelihood, bypassing directives of directive principles of state policy to scientifically promote cow and other milch cattle.

Objecting to the government initiative to check Ganga waters through embankments, the saints said this violates religious freedom enumerated in Articles 25 and 26 of the Indian Constitution.

Alleging that as part of a greater conspiracy both Protestants and Catholics have joined hands to convert 10 crore Hindus to their faith and to construct nine lakh churches in length and breadth of India in next 10 years, the saints said huge foreign funds are made available both legally and illegally to various NGOs to work in rural parts of the country and become instruments to facilitate conversions.

The Sansad demanded a legislation both in Parliament and in state legislatures to put an end to conversion activities in India. Saying that conversion was the root-cause of Partition of India in 1947, the saints saw strong reasons for another partition if conversion was not brought to an end once and for all.

Dubbing Congress president Sonia Gandhi an agent of Christian lobby in the country, the Sansad in a resolution supported their contention with the fact that with 2.34 crore population the community has five Chief Ministers. Nagaland, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala are the states where Chief Ministers belong to Sonia Gandhi’s religion, they added.

Mahant Nritya Gopal Das, President of Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas, Acharya Dharmendra and Acharya Giriraj Kishore also attended the Sansad.
