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.

Tell the youth about India’s glory, future vision

—Dr Murli Manohar Joshi

"WE Indians are considered weak today because we have forgotten our culture, identity and glorious past. The reason of most of our problems including poverty, illiteracy, etc. is also the weakness of Hindus. Since this country belongs to Hindus, the responsibility of solving its problems also lies on them,” said Dr Murli Manohar Joshi, noted educationist and former Union HRD Minister. He was speaking at a function organised by Sadhna TV to celebrate its third anniversary in New Delhi on April 17.

Referring to the mushrooming of TV channels in the country, Dr Joshi said the content of the programmes shown on most of the TV channels today is unhealthy and misguiding. “It does not suit to the requirements of our country and the new generation. In fact, it is useful for none. Blindly following the western channels, our own people in this field have forgotten as to what we are and how such content will affect our culture and people. The entertainment programmes, preferred by westerners, are unsuitable to us. But in such a situation also the Sadhna TV has successfully taken the values of life to every home,” he added. Talking about the glorious past of the country and also the much-talked saffronisation, he said the country was prosperous and super power till it followed the saffron. He stressed the need for making the new generation aware of the glorious past of the country so that they can feel pride and also try to achieve that standard.

Sadhvi Ritambhara, while describing the Sadhna TV as a movement, said those who today feel pride in following the western culture would repent in future. But then it would too late for both the country and them. Shri Joginder Singh, former CBI director, Shri Rakesh Gupta, managing director and Shri Shayamlal Garg, director of Sadhna TV also shared the dais. The brief presentation of Bharatman ki aarati by Baba Satyanarayan Maurya thrilled the audience. (FOC)
