Religious Terrorism

Nepal, the only Hindu country in the world just announced that they are going to become secular, since communists, the atheists, Buddhists, Muslims and others may feel offended in a proclaimed Hindu Kingdom. Their fears are unwarranted. Nepal will not admit, but they are following India, and will soon experience similar religious, sectarian and caste wars, so common on the south of the border.
The countries, ‘ Afghanistan’ and ‘Iraq’, did just opposite, even after the US invasion and after getting a lesson in western democracy and secularism, they have changed themselves into ‘Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’ and that of ‘Islamic Republic of Iraq’, similar to Pakistan and several Arab countries.
The western Christianity and democracy as well as the Islam and its theocracy, had controlled India for over five hundred years until the 1950s. Still its minorities, especially Christians and Muslims get a super preferred treatment in Indian political system, behave as pampered and obstinate children of the nation. The text books of history in India, even
after 60 years of independence are replete with incorrect facts, showing Hinduism and ancient Sanatan Dharma, inferior to Islam and Christianity, and in constant need of refinement by the foreign, alien ways of life and religions. Muslim Mullahs say, ‘ye
Hindu to aalu, timatar khate the, hamne inhe khane, rahne ka tarika sikhaya.’ The
Christian Priest will say, ‘these Hindus read tamasoma jyotirgamaya, they are in dark and need the light of Jesus to come out of ignorance. The history text books in the west about
India, its culture and religion, are full of mischievous inaccuracies, describing Hinduism
as witchcraft, cult, confusing and primitive. The recent California text book controversy and the court cases are well known. History books in Pakistan still preach to the masses
that whole of India was once theirs, under Babar and Akbar, and the dishonest British
gave much of it to Hindus.
Books in History, all over the world, including those used in free India, in its schools and colleges are full of malignant and denigrating remarks against Hindus. The history is
his-story, white mans’ propaganda against the noble, peaceful, scientific and brilliant Sanatan Dharma. The Christian West and the Muslim Arabs have propagated slander
and inaccuracies against India, Hindus and Sanatan Dharma for centuries. Hindus and Indians are not interested in maligning others and their religious beliefs, as it is against
the basic tenets of Hinduism, their religion and way of life.
But it is time, Hindus study the religious beliefs of Christians, Muslims and Jews and understand their true nature. We need not feel superior, as they do, but should have sympathy for them and encourage them to get out of their fanatic ways, and embrace the
brilliance of Sanatan Dharma, which they once belonged to, and got misled by vested interests and accepted the so called foreign religions and alliances.
The majority of south east Asia (China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Sumatra,
Thailand, Myanmar etc) all embraced Hinduism and Buddhism. The aborigines in Australia and New Zealand, the red Indians in North and South Americas, the entire Africa, since ancient times, prayed to Nature Gods, and believed in simple, close to nature life styles. The Greek and Roman Gods and Goddesses, and their mythology,
as well as those of Mesopotamia and Babylon in ancient times were so much similar to
Indian culture and life styles. Judaism, Christianity and Islam have taken humanity
on the paths of strife and wars time and again.
Humanity is loathe to express its sorrow. Isn’t it time to invite those lost souls
back into the fold of Sanatan Dharma.
