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.

Hindus feel vulnerable in areas where they're few in no: RSS

PUNE, MAR 30 (PTI)

The tilt in demography based on religion has made Hindus vulnerable to the extent that they no longer feel free to celebrate their religious festivals or perform rituals in areas where they are few in number, RSS Sarkaryavah, Mohan Bhagwat, said.

"There are many places in the country where Hindus, because they are few in number, cannot celebrate their festivals or do puja," Bhagwat said at a public function organised by the RSS to mark `Gudi Padwa' (Maharashtrian New Year) and also release a 12 volume of work in Marathi of Guru Golwalkar, the second Sarsanghchalak.

"During my visit to Bihar, I observed that in many places in the state like Kishanganj, Hindus cannot celebrate their festivals and do puja," he said, adding, this was because of demographic imbalance which was very evident in the recent census.

"The religion driven imbalance is far more serious issue than we can imagine. The situation what we see is not the real picture, it is far more serious than that, what with some or the other terrorist group working to divide the country right from the northern to southern tip of the country," the RSS Sarkaryavah observed.

"It is time for people to take a pledge to dedicate ourselves to a cause, to take a pledge and tackle the situation," Bhagwat said.

"World over, because of imbalance among different religious groups, there is a problem. Therefore, it is the call of destiny that we take a pledge to change the situation," the RSS leader said.
