London’s First Muslim Mayor (Will the Christian culture survive?)
From: Rajput < >
FORWARDED AS RECEIVED. (see below Comment)
Help expose Islamist Sadiq Khan
COMMENT:
The first MUSLIM mayor of London has sent shock waves across the country. On the one hand news of Christian massacres is coming in from Middle East, the Hindus are still crying for the President of Hindusthan to utter just one word to prove his manhood (that word is “PARTITION”), the Jews are remembering Mohammed’s command to kill all the Jews as per Koran and Hadis, and here we have a “Mohammed” in top post in Christian England where our monarch has the title of “Defender of Faith.”
NB: Secularism is only effective where everyone is at the same level of religious fervor, or lack of it. It FAILS in lands where e.g. Hindu ice meets with Muslim fire, or where the teaching of “offer the other cheek” contrasts sharply with “KILL the infidel!”
Someone from far off Canada wrote, rather graphic but accurate, “Britain has her head in SAND and while doing so, raises the posterior to be kicked by Islam.”
From nearby Poland wrote a shocked friend, “There will NEVER be a Muslim mayor of Warsaw!”
The Sikh, recalling the fate of Sri Nankana Sahib (that is surrendered unconditionally to Islam by the anti-Hindu traitor Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947), shouts at all the Muslims in Pakistan, “How would YOU feel if your Mecca was occupied by the Sikhs in the same way?”
Brave challenge, but then Sikhs are known for courage and daring. Even Sadiq Khan does not feel the DISGUST of the Sikhs in London over the brutality and terrorism of his ISLAM and PAKISTAN where close to 100,000 Hindu girls and women, forcibly abducted in 1947, are in their 80’s now and still cursing Khan’s Islam and Pakistan!
Someone has called Islam a highly adjustable slippery thing that can metamorphose from a jelly fish to a piece of granite within seconds. See them behaving like beasts and savages where in majority, but loving secularism and swearing by love of mankind where in a minority.
Mohammed Ali Jinnah was secular and loved the Hindus when he was President of All-India Congress Party (Yes, All-India CONGRESS Party!) when the British were firmly entrenched in India, and yet he turned around 360 degrees to demand a separate sovereign Islamic Pakistan when he saw them (the Brithsi) preparing to leave India. Most Hindus can still recall the 1947 year’s massacres and rapes that were unleashed upon them in Sindh, West Punjab, and East Bengal to lay the foundation of his Land of “Rasul Lullah”.
Kafir people have compared Islam (communities) to an ordinary normal nation in which 99% people are (behave) civilians, going about their business peacefully, working in farms & fields, in shops, hospitals, factories and schools while 1.0 per cent are members of the armed forces who wear uniform, carry weapons – armed and trained to kill.
When those 1.0 % population in uniform make a kill, capture a land or defend their own country, THE BENEFIT GOES TO ALL the 99% who did not even kill a rabbit- even if some in this lot turn “Gandhian” and call the soldiers “men of evil.” All the civilians do not have to kill, rape and plunder, and yet they pray and hope for the success of those 1.0 % (armed forces) who kill. The same is true of ISLAM communities.
When interviewed by journalists on Radio and TV, the Muslim spokespersons swear that “Islam is a religion of peace.” Then WHO is doing all that beheading of the hostages, crashing planes into buildings, abducting thousands of innocent girls and women to be raped and sold off? THEY ARE THE SOLDIERS OF ISLAM while the rest, who live in Christian (Hindu and Buddhist) lands, can go about their lives in peace, fooling the kafir people by claiming that Islam is a religion of peace!
Sadiq Khan is the sweet & harmless VANGARD of the POISON called Global Islam. Like a traffic controller he will use both his hands, one to gesture MOVE ON, the other to gesture STOP. He will determine what to PROMOTE and what to THWART. His choice of Southwark Cathedral to deliver the inaugural address was deceptive – typical of Islam. His first sentence was ominous. He said, “My name is Sadiq Khan, and I am the Mayor of London!” Is that is called “making a statement,” or throwing the gauntlet!?
London has now given the key to its cultural and social treasures to the robber. See what “his kind” (FELLOW MUSLIMS) did to Buddha statues in Afghanistan and the ancient ruins at Palmyra in Syria!
The image of Christianity and Great Britain has sunk. He is from the terrorist State of Pakistan, and most Hindus hang their heads in shame on realizing that ‘men of peace,’ while confronting their IDEOLOGICAL enemies, only bring death & disaster like MK Gandhi who is rightly called the “Father of Pakistan, now the land of birth & conditioning of Sadiq Khan.”

Subj: Help Expose Islamist Sadiq Khan
|
UNSUBSCRIBE | 0208 914 8212 Dear Citizen, The election of Islamist Sadiq Khan as mayor of London has been celebrated in Pakistan, Sadiq’s country of origin. News of Khan’s win in the British capital featured on the front pages of all major Pakistani newspapers, while also causing a stir on social media. It has become blatantly obvious with the election of Labour’s Islamist mayor, that there is an increasingly shrinking number of Britons left in the capital and far too many Muslims. Britons make up less than 45% of the capital and at least half of those who remain will be the “trendy” leftwing chattering class types, the gormless liberals and bigoted white socialists in areas such as Camden, Islington etc. The fight against Labour’s Islamist mayor must go on. Below are some new memes to share on Facebook and Twitter to help expose this vile person. Please save them and share them immediately to help expose Khan and his Islamist baggage: Yours sincerely,

Subject: ॥ मोदी धाबा ॥
माननीय PM जी,
कृपया सारी योजना बंद कर दीजिये। सिर्फ सांसद भवन जैसी कैन्टीन हर दस किलोमीटर पर खुलवा दीजिये ।
सारे लफड़े खत्म।
29 रूपये में भरपेट खाना मिलेगा ।
80% लोगों को घर चलाने का लफड़ा खत्म।
ना सिलेंडर लाना, ना राशन और घर वाली भी खुश । चारों तरफ खुशियाँ ही रहेगी।
फिर हम कहेंगे सबका साथ सबका विकास ।
सबसे बड़ा फायदा 1र् किलो गेहूँ नहीं देना पड़ेगा
और PM जी को ये ना कहना पड़ेगा कि मिडिल क्लास के लोग अपने हिसाब से घर चलाएँ ।
इस पे गौर करें।
-: Modi Dhhaba :-
🇮🇳 मुद्दा नम्बर:-01
एक सिलेंडर की कीमत 783 रुपये, इंडियन आयल से बैंक में वापस जमा – 361 रूपये,
यानी, 783 – 361= 422 रूपये।
इसके पहले हमें सिलेंडर मिलता था 418 रूपये में,
मतलब कुल 4 रूपये का नुकसान।
अब पता ये लगाना है की मेरे द्वारा जमा पैसा ही मुझे वापस मिला। तो फिर सब्सिडी का पैसा कहाँ गया, बल्कि पहले से ज्यादा पैसे मुझे देने पड़े।
ये कौन सा गणित है…? पूरा देश सोच रहा है की उसे सब्सिडी का पैसा मिल रहा है, पर जनाब ये तो हमारा पैसा ही हमें मिल रहा है।
🇮🇳 मुद्दा नम्बर:-02
देश में पेट्रोल की कीमत कैसे तय होती है, उसका पूरा प्रोसेस इस प्रकार है :-
कच्चे तेल की वर्तमान कीमत = 50 डॉलर प्रति बेरेल।
(जहाँ, $1 = 63/-
और 1 बेरेल = 159 लीटर )
यानी, $50 = Rs.3150/-
1 लीटर कच्चा तेल भारत खरीदता है (3150/159) =19.80 रुपयों में।
1 लीटर पेट्रोल बनाने के लिए लगने वाला कच्चा तेल –
0.96 लीटर @19.80/- = 19.00/-
अब कच्चे तेल में से एक लीटर पेट्रोल बनाने की फिक्स्ड कीमत होती है 6 रूपये (ट्रांसपोर्टेशन मिलाकर)।
यानी, 19.00 रूपये + फिक्स्ड कीमत, 6 रूपये = 25.00 रूपये में एक लिटर पेट्रोल बनता है।
अब उसमे केंद्र सरकार का टेक्स लगता है, 25% यानी 6 रूपये।
यानी 25 + 6 = 31 रूपये।
और उपर से फिर राज्य सरकार के टेक्स जैसे VAT,
जिसे हम एवरेज 15% गिने तो होते है 5 रूपये यानी कुल मिलाकर होते है 36 रूपये।
और आखिर में पेट्रोल पंप डीलरों को पर लीटर 90 पैसे कमिशन दिया जाता है तो होते है कुल 37 रूपये।
लेकिन फिर भी आज हमे 65/- प्रति लीटर में पेट्रोल मिल रहा है॥
कृपया कड़ी मेहनत से प्राप्त हुई ये जानकारी देश के हर एक नागरिक तक पहुँचाने की कोशिश करे ।
शान है या छलावा…।
पूरे भारत में एक ही जगह ऐसी है जहाँ खाने की चीजें सबसे सस्ती है ।
चाय = 1.00
सुप = 5.50
दाल= 1.50
खाना =2.00
चपाती =1.00
चिकन= 24.50
डोसा = 4.00

Ten Shades of Nehruvian Anti-Majority Secularism
From: Kuppusamy < >
From: S. Rajagopalan
Ten Shades of Nehruvian Anti-Majority Secularism
1 ) In India, with 80% Hindu population, and the only homeland of Hindus in the world, the birthdays of great sons of the soil, Shri Ram and Shri Krishna, are not compulsory central government holidays, while the birthday of Saudi Arabia born So called Prophet -Mohammad and both the birth and fructification day of Bethlehem born Jesus, are compulsory holidays throughout India. This seems in sync with the secular hypothesis that Ram and Krishna are imaginary comic characters while Mohammad and Jesus are actual historical characters. There are only 2 Hindu holidays out of compulsory 14, in contrast with 4 Muslim ones. This type of stupid Indian Secularism was initially promoted by Nehru and his coterie as an appeasement tool in Indian electoral politics, which duly followed by his dynasty and the Left coterie.
2) The Constitution of India enables the government to take control of Hindu temples and trusts and appoint its nominees in their controlling body and even control its funds. The government doesn’t have this privilege for the mosques or churches. The government cannot interfere in the functioning of the mosques, madrasas and any minority institutions even if they receive government aid, which is taxpayers’ money. The minority institutions are not bound to comply with the Right to Education act either. This can be seen as a lighter version of Pakistan and Bangladesh’s enemy property laws which enable their governments to confiscate the properties of Hindus by declaring them enemy properties.
3) Everyone knows that India doesn’t have uniform civil code. Indian Muslim males are legally allowed to have up to 4 wives at a time, and can divorce them by saying ‘Talaaq’ thrice, in compliance with Sharia. Hindus and Christians have to follow proper court procedures to file for divorce. The women right activists who organize ‘slut-walks’ to celebrate their ‘rights’ and advocate girls visiting pubs, do not speak on this matter. Shah Bano case stands as a glaring example of how secularism is a constitutionally prescribed drug meant only for Hindus, not for minorities.
4) Prayagraj, one of the holiest pilgrimages of Hindus, is called Allah-abad. Kashi, Ayodhya and Mathura, each of these 3 holy sites has been desecrated and yet not fully restored. The signboards of Aurangazeb road in Delhi stand as the testimony to India’s slavery that Indian secularism celebrates so profusely. In 2007, over 1 lakh Indian Muslims paid homage to Aurangzeb’s tomb on his 300th anniversary, that’s when Aurangzeb is known to be the perpetrator of the largest Hindu genocide ever. Aurangzeb had even got Guru Teg Bahadur beheaded in his court for his refusal to convert to Islam.
5) An instance of Indian brand secularism promoted by Cong/Left is the 1978 directive to NCERT which instructs it to erase all medieval history which paints a picture of clash between native Hindus and invading Muslims in that era. Consequently, we have a chapter each from Akbar to Aurangzeb, but Shivaji and Maharana Pratap are squeezed into a paragraph each in history books. Despite all the evidence to the contrary, discredited Aryan Invasion Theory is still taught in Indian schools. The history books do not cover the Mahabharata despite a plethora of archaeological evidence available to conclusively establish its historicity.
6) The Archeological Survey of India in its annual report of 1924-25 published a long list of Hindu temples demolished during Islamic rule. Sita Ram Goel, Arun Shourie and others have published a book after conducting research and they’ve given a 64-page long district-wise list of Islamic monuments which were constructed by demolishing Hindu temples. This list, in the book, “Hindu temples – what happened to them”, includes around 2000+ temples and gives in most cases, the year of construction of those structures also. Even in Kashmir, hundreds of temples, small and large have been desecrated over during the exodus of Hindus in early 90s. The same, however, is a non-issue in larger secular polity. It’s continued unabated in whichever time or space, Hindus have become weak.
7) From Ram Mandir to Ram Setu and to Bhagwad Geeta, all have been dragged into Indian courts. India is the only country in the world where the faith of 100 Crore people is humiliated, thanks to Nehruvian anti-Hindu secularism!! It’d be silly to look for parallels where in a Muslim majority country, Quran or the prophet, or in a Christian majority country, Bible or the Christ, could be dragged into a court of law. In India, the central government filed an affidavit in the Supreme Court suggesting that Ram never existed. In the same country, Christian missionaries openly preach about Hindus’ false and ‘characterless’ gods, and so do Islamic missionaries like Zakir Naik, but the tag of ‘hate-monger’ has been attributed to Hindu right wing by idiotic band of secular luminaries in media and otherwise.
8) There are numerous government schemes which are run exclusively for the benefit of minorities at the expense of majority Hindu taxpayer money, despite an apparent prohibition to the same in the constitution. Pashchim Banga government paying monthly stipend to all the Imams of all the mosques in the state is a glaring example of this. The same is not extended to Hindu pujaris. The Haj subsidy, against which the Supreme Court finally ordered, which had been running since Independence even when no other country, not even Pakistan offers it, is another example.
9) The pious Human Right Activists (third rated sick minded people), known for their love for Jihadi terrorists, those who have been running http://justiceforafzalguru.org/justiceforafzalguru.org website
for years now, have not spoken for the inhumane treatment meted out to Sadhvi Pragya, and Swami Aseemanand. Their love for those displaced in Gujarat riots, their sympathy on crores of Bangladeshi infiltrators and their disgusting silence and aversion on lakhs of Kashmiri Hindu refugees and Pakistani Hindu refugees is another jewel of the muddled waters of Indian brand stupid secularism.
10) The practice of Saraswati Vandana has been discontinued from almost all government events with the rise of Nehruvian secular fanaticism. The TV series Chanakya of 90’s was asked to remove Saffron flags from it, it is being indispensable to the depiction of Chanakya’s Akhand Bharat notwithstanding. Doordarshan’s ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ had also been removed before being brought back. Off late, even the practice of lighting a lamp has been criticized as ‘un-Islamic’. A litigation was filed in Gujarat high court for inaugurating a room by breaking a coconut for its being a Hindu (not Secular). A case was lodged in Chennai High Court to prohibit the employees celebrating festivals in office space. The beast of Nehruvian secular fanaticism has gone wilder over the years, and if not us, posterity will have to bear the brunt of our callous ignorance.
Even the Modi sircar (Gov’t) is unable to assert the Hindu Pride and Culture fearing attacks from the Congress/Left stupid Seculars and lying low!!!!

TOTAL LOSS OF GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY IN KASHMIR
From: Rajput < >
The videos below show the impossible, TOTAL LOSS OF GOVERNMENT AUTHORITY IN KASHMIR.
Here we see the students who shout “Bharat Mata Ki Jay!”, or raise the national flag, are set upon brutally by the State police, all Muslim.
Another video shows a soldier carrying gun pushed and thrown to ground and savagely kicked by terrorists. One must ask, “What kind of training do the soldiers get if one is fully exposed to the blows of terrorists and no help on hand?
On the very first day when NIT, Srinagar became the scene of savagery by police against the students, authorities had to take control of the situation immediately.
These children are from various States in Bharat. The attempt to break their bones and spirit is like breaking the spirit of the whole nation. The situation in Kashmir has crossed all limits and we find the Government of India UNFIT to rule the great country with NO guts and courage to uphold the rule of law, dignity of the national flag, and unable to provide safety to the students in Srinagar.
What about the army? When the police is partisan, partial, rowdy or ill-disciplined, it is the army that should step in. The useless chief ministers of all States have not been seen arriving in Delhi or Srinagar on behalf of the students from their states.
Mr Modi came to power riding on the goodwill of the Hindu nation. One expected the old crooks to be in the dock and corruption to be the thing of the past. One expected Article 370 to be gone, and one expected to see the Hindu refugees returning to their homes in Srinagar. BUT NOTHING OF THE SORT HAS HAPPENED!
Mr Modi is now inviting increasing criticism from all sides, even his former supporters, and ridicule from general public for his blind attachment to Gandhi, knowing fully well how badly Gandhi had collapsed in 1947 and thus failed to ensure the survival of Akhand Bharat.
Most Hindus are very upset and disappointed, and say, “Mr Modi, your subjects expect you to do your duty. You were hailed as a LION when you assumed office. But already we can see that you are no lion. There is now real danger that if you do not govern firmly then you may exit like a mouse. There will be grave consequences for the whole country should that happen. With responsibility comes the duty to perform. Your government is not showing any initiatives nor the ability to react to the situation in Srinagar.
“You need to take action before the unrest spreads across the whole country. So, here is what you need to do immediately.
Declare martial law in J & K State, dismiss the useless State government, remove Article 370, INTEGRATE the State in Bharat, end its special status and settle Hindu and Sikh families across the border, give them arms for self defence and make any incursion from Pakistan impossible by hanging to death all the terrorists who come across the border to cause death or unrest in the Valley.
“Please do something brave on this BAISAKHI day. The world is watching you.”

Truth for Hindus: अजमेर शरीफ के दरगाह की सच्चाई

अजमेर शरीफ के दरगाह की सच्चाई:
अजमेर रेलवे स्टेशन के प्लेटफार्म पर इतनी भीड़ थी कि वहाँ की कोई बैंच खाली नहीं थी। एक बैंच पर एक परिवार, जो पहनावे से हिन्दू लग रहा था, के साथ बुर्के में एक अधेड़ सुसभ्य महिला बैठी थी।
बहुत देर चुपचाप बैठने के बाद बुर्खे में बैठी महिला ने बगल में बैठे युवक से पूछा, “अजमेर के रहनेवाले हैँ या फिर यहाँ घूमने आये हैं?”
युवक ने बताया, “जी अपने माता पिता के साथ पुष्कर में ब्रह्मा जी के मंदिर के दर्शन करने आया था।”
महिला ने बुरा मुँह बनाते हुए फिर पूछा, “आप लोग अजमेर शरीफ की दरगाह पर नहीं गये?”
युवक ने उस महिला से प्रतिउत्तर कर दिया, “क्या आप ब्रह्मा जी के मंदिर गयी थीं?”
महिला अपने मुँह को और बुरा बनाते हुये बोली, “लाहौल विला कुव्वत। इस्लाम में बुतपरस्ती हराम है और आप पूछ रहे हैं कि ब्रह्मा के मंदिर में गयी थी।”
युवक झल्लाकर बोला, “जब आप ब्रह्मा जी के मंदिर में जाना हराम मानती हैं तो हम क्यों अजमेर शरीफ की दरगाह पर जाकर अपना माथा फोड़ें।”
महिला युवक की माँ से शिकायती लहजे में बोली, “देखिये बहन जी। आपका लड़का तो बड़ा बदतमीज है। ऐसी मजहबी कट्टरता की वजह से ही तो हमारी कौमी एकता में फूट पड़ती है।”
युवक की माँ मुस्काते हुये बोली, “ठीक कहा बहन जी। कौमी एकता का ठेका तो हम हिन्दुओं ने ही ले रखा है।
अगर हर हिँदू माँ-बाप अपने बच्चों को बताए कि अजमेर दरगाह वाले ख्वाजा मोईनुद्दीन चिश्ती ने किस तरह इस्लाम कबूल ना करने पर पृथ्वीराज चौहान की पत्नी संयोगिता को मुस्लिम सैनिकों के बीच बलात्कार करने के लिए निर्वस्त्र करके फेँक दिया था और फिर किस तरह पृथ्वीराज चौहान की वीर पुत्रियों ने आत्मघाती बनकर मोइनुद्दीन चिश्ती को 72 हूरों के पास भेजा था तो, शायद ही कोई हिँदू उस मुल्ले की कब्र पर माथा पटकने जाए।
पृथ्वीराज चौहान गोरी को १७ बार युद्ध में हराने के बाद भी उसे छोड़ देता है जबकि एक बार उस से हारने पर चौहान के आँख फोड़ के बेरहमी से मार कर उसके शव को घसीटते हुए अफ़ग़ानिस्तान ले गया और दफ़्न किया।
आज भी चौहान के क़ब्र पर जो भी मुसलमान वहॉ जाता है प्रचलन के अनुसार उनके क़ब्र को वहॉ पे रखे जूते से मारता है। ऐसी बर्बरता कहीं नहीं देखी होगी। फिरभी हम हैं कि…बेवकुफ secular बने फिर रहे है…!
“अजमेर के ख्वाजा मुइनुद्दीन चिश्ती को ९० लाख हिंदुओं को इस्लाम में लाने का गौरव प्राप्त है. मोइनुद्दीन चिश्ती ने ही मोहम्मद गोरी को भारत लूटने के लिए उकसाया और आमंत्रित किया था…”

Reflections on
The Battle for Sanskrit:
Is Sanskrit political or sacred? Oppressive or Liberating? Dead or Alive?
By Rajiv Malhotra
Introduction
Many adjectives can be used to describe this book: interesting, fascinating, provocative, scholarly, penetrating, belligerent, highly original, revolutionary, polemical, deeply moving, revealing, and more. It is all of this.
Simply put, the book explores those aspects of the academic field of Indology that irritate a growing number of Hindus who are beginning to regard Indology, not as a scholarly pursuit (which it is meant to be), but as a hyper-critical, vicious, and sometimes sinister enterprise directed at their traditions, worldviews, and religion. In this mode, argues the author, Indology does not shed light on Indic culture and Sanskrit studies, but does much harm to it. The book is an inevitable reaction to having been colonized and feeling oppressed by alien powers.
The British occupation of India for almost two centuries is an irreversible historical fact. That the people of India suffered considerable economic exploitation and political oppression during that period cannot be denied. Whether the long range consequences of that nightmare included anything positive may be, and has been, debated. Many Hindus grant that one eventual positive result of British intrusion is that they have been relieved of Mogul rule and Arab-Persian cultural/linguistic dominance. Also, contrary to their customary practice of divide-and-rule, the British united the regional and linguistic groups of India under a single tricolor as a modern parliamentary democracy, and left.
In the processes, among other things, they inflicted English grammar and vocabulary on the people of India, changing forever the political and intellectual landscape of the people. Even after almost seven decades of independence, for the better or for worse, many modernized Hindu thinkers use English as a unifying force. Indians from Kashmir to Kanyakumari, from Bombay and Gujarat to Bengal and Assam are conversing in this common imported language. In the view of some, English also turned out to be intrinsically evil in sowing the seeds of cultural self-deprecation among Anglo-Hindus as a result of Euro-brainwashing. It must be pointed out in this context that this ill-effect is/was not on all Hindus. We have only to think of Lokamanya Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, Swami Vivekananda, Sri Aurobindo, S. Radhakrishnan, K. M. Munshi, C. Rajagopalachari, and hundreds of other devout Hindus who were molded by English education in British-established universities whose devotion to their culture did not diminish a bit. Ironically, Hindus who have grown up in independent India seem to be more West-embracing and svadeshi-culture-ignoring than their grandparents.
This book is peripherally concerned with these matters, but that is not its main concern. Its central refrain is that Indology, especially of the past few decades at the hands of some reputed professors in American Academia has snatched away from practicing Hindus a discipline that properly belongs to Hindus; and that American Indology has subjected sacred Sanskrit writings to profane vivisections, diluting and distorting their contents. More seriously, it has injected its cold and unfeeling approach in the minds of countless unwitting Hindus. Not content with their disturbing commentaries from a distance, some American Indologists have also been meddling in the cultural and political affairs of the Hindu world within India (such as the Barbri-masjid issue and Dalit unrest), advising and instigating Hindus on such matters. The book eloquently responds to some of the critiques of Indic culture from the pen of American Indologists. The book learnedly and meticulously illustrates its contentions from the writings of some well-known American Indologists, in particular Professor Sheldon Pollack of Columbia University, NY. It is no secret that Professor Pollack has devoted decades of his life to the study of Hinduism. He has written extensively on the subject, and has received many tokens of appreciation and high praise from Hindus in India as well as from NRIs.
Some key theses in the book
1.Whereas Chinese studies are managed largely by Chinese scholars, Japanese studies by Japanese scholars, Arabic studies by Arab scholars, etc., a good deal of Hindu studies are conducted and directed by Westerners, mainly affiliated to American universities.
Some may say: that this is so after more than sixty years of Indian independence is a reflection as much on Hindu thinkers as on scheming by American Indologists. But this is precisely what Malhotra is revealing.
2. Unwitting Hindus who get doctoral degrees from American universities have fallen prey to the approaches and interpretations of their ill-wishing non-Hindu gurus.
3. The root of the problem lies in the fact that whereas in the Hindu approach one is sensitive to and respectful of both worldly (vyavaharika) and spiritual (paramarthika) dimensions of human experience, the outsider’s (Westerner’s) approach is bereft of anything spiritual, relying solely on a heartless rational reduction of everything, resulting in a picture of the tradition that is often absurd, anachronistic, and even grotesque.
4. Distorted views of Hinduism are propagated through books, lectures, and college courses: an enterprise in which a good many Hindus naively and shamelessly participate, both within India and beyond the shores of India.
5. Influential books and commentaries written from alien nástika perspectives not only devalue classical Sanskrit writings – the Vedas, the shastras, the puranas, the prasthanatrayi, etc. – they undermine the very foundations of a culture that has enriched generations of Hindus and survived the onslaught of inimical invaders who have systematically engaged in committing cultural genocide of the Hindu world.
6. Assertions to the effect that Sanskrit is a dead language, that it is the root cause of violent responses of Hindus when their culture, religion, and country are attacked, that the epics are no more than literary instigations against Non-Hindus are gross abominations against Sanskrit epics and tradition, spread by modern Indologists in American academia.
7.There is a concerted effort by Western scholars, dating back to Max Müller et al., and now rampant in American academia, to decry, denigrate, and defame Hindu civilization. This is an enterprise in which a good number of trained Hindus (pejoratively described as sepoys) participate.
8. Sanskrit is more than a language: it is the substratum of the dharmic culture on which Indic civilization is built. To disrespect and dissociate the sacredness of Sanskrit is equivalent to shaking the foundations of dharma. Hindus must collectively fight the usurpation of Sanskrit studies by Western/American Indologists.
9. There are key terms and concepts in Sanskrit that are unique to the culture. These are often mistranslated or approximately translated, leading to further confusion in efforts to understand the rich, complex, and sophisticated Hindu culture.
10. To inject more dynamism into Sanskrit, new word-books of Sanskrit terms and phrases of relevance to the modern world must be published. Scholars should write prose and poetry, plays and essays in Sanskrit.
Possible reactions to the call
Of the many deep insights and reflections in the book, perhaps the most important and urgent is, as noted earlier, the call for Hindus to take over Indology/Sanskrit-studies from Western scholars and from Hindu commentators who have been trained by them. This may not be an altogether original idea, but this is the first of its kind to be so frankly and fearlessly articulated with clarity, cohesion, conviction, erudition, and extensive quotations from the undesirable authors.
It is very possible that Western scholars, irrespective of their motivations, will recognize that they are simply not welcome in the study of Indic culture. If they are not jolted into the recognition that time has come for them to retreat from their inquisitiveness about India with their outsider-lenses, they are likely to be made even more uncomfortable in the decades to come. The passion with which these matters are discussed in Malhotra’s books will only inflame a vast number of Hindus who may not be scholars in the field, who may not have even read the authors in question, but who feel deeply about their culture and religion. Already some American Indologists have become persona non grata in India, and their books have been put on the anathema list. This may be only the beginning of more unpleasantness to come.
Malhotra is a rare instance of an activist-scholar. His dedication to the cause has already elicited much applause from countless Hindus who love their religion and tradition. His goal of seeking Hindu independence from Non-Hindus who are prying into Hinduism is being discussed in many academic institutions in India. His book is a significant contribution to achieving the goal of asserting one’s own adhikara (authority) over one’s heritage and culture.
No matter how Western Non-Hindu Indologists plead their case, they are likely to find little support from among the growing class of Hindus who are made to see through Malhotra’s writings what may be called the dark side of Indology. Hindus who differ from Malhotra’s views on some of these matters dare not speak for non-traditional perspectives, let alone on behalf of Western scholars because they are likely to be ridiculed and caricatured, if not condemned as treasonous. A number of Hindus are already facing public condemnation on this score in internet debates.
I am greatly impressed by Malhotra’s deep devotion to Hindu culture which has inspired him to write his many books on the threats it is facing in the modern world. I also give him high marks for his historical insights, extensive scholarship, and well-framed arguments against the charges brought by alien critics of the Hindu world.
Other aspects of the topic
Having said all this I would note the following, not as criticisms of the book, but as some related perspectives relevant in the context of these discussions.
On vyavaharika and paramarthika: It is true that in the Hindu framework this important distinction is often made, and the vast majority of traditional Indic thinkers subscribe to this dual richness in the human experience. But this dichotomy is not unique to the Hindu world. Christians and Muslims also make a difference in their own ways between lived first-order reality and a world of transcendental truths corresponding to the Hindu Indeed, what differentiates modern from pre-modern perspectives is that the former explicitly rejects paramarthika. Malhotra’s criticism that this approach distorts and diminishes mainstream Hindu perspectives is absolutely correct. However, this happens with Christianity and other traditional religions as well. Commentaries on religious texts often sound hollow and disrespectful when their spiritual dimensions are absent, ignored or belittled.
In all dynamic cultures thinkers have arisen who have challenged the paradigm of received wisdom. Charvaka was the most outstanding example of this school of thought in classical India. Some even count the Buddha in this regard.
This is what distinguishes Hinduism from most other major religions. In other religions, if a member of the faith questions or rejects the supernatural, he/she is automatically kicked out of the fold or dealt with more severely. In Hinduism this is not the case. There are countless Hindus today who are respectful of the aesthetic, meaningful, and festival aspects of their religion without subscribing to its ethereal and metaphysical doctrines.
Unfortunately many of the dissenters from orthodoxy have been writing in English. So they seem to be imitators of alien unfriendly characters, rather than Hindus who are expressing their right to think differently from ancient worldviews. It is important not to ascribe free, rationalist, and nature-based interpretations of the world only to Western thinkers and their slavish imitators. There are many Chinese, Japanese, and Korean thinkers who also subscribe to this view.
Malhotra’s thesis that Hindus have been so brainwashed by Western education that they are unable to view their own culture with an insider’s perspective is perceptive and very valid. But this is equally true of Westerners in their post-European-Enlightenment phase. Millions of them have been so brainwashed by the so-called modern thinkers that they are unable to look into their own traditional culture from the insider (pre-Enlightenment) perspective.
In modern times there have been many keen Indians, such as Suniti Kumar Chatterjee, Meghnad Saha, M. N. Roy, Nirad C. Chaudhuri, E. V. Ramaswami Nayakar, Brahmananda Swami Sivayogi, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, as well as thousand of members of the Indian Rationalist Association who reject and even denied/deny the existence of paramathmika. They were/are all as Hindu as their traditionally devout co-religionists.
As Kalidasa wisely reminded us,
Puránamityeva na sádhu sarvam, na chápi kávyam navamityavadyam
Not everything old is good, not everything new is bad.
It seems to me unfortunate and unfair that Malhotra, in his frustration at Hindus who choose to adopt a materialist view in philosophical/traditional matters, castigates them with demeaning epithets. There are any number of Westerners, born and brought up in Judeo-Christianity, who have embraced Hindu spirituality at a later stage of their lives: From Annie Besant and Sister Nivedita to Swami Agehananda Bharati and quite a few others in our own times. Would it be fair or appropriate for Christians to decry them as having slavishly fallen prey to Eastern mysticism?
On Indologists: While everything stated in the book regarding current trends in Indology is appropriate and needs to be said, one cannot – indeed one should not – ignore or suppress the positive contributions of Western scholars to the field of Indic studies. Through their explorations – biased and often with self-serving motivations – they founded the disciplines of Egyptology, Sinology, Indology, etc. which brought to light troves of treasures that remained buried underground and/or faded from humanity’s collective memory. Few Hindus in the eighteenth century had even heard of Aryabhata and the Bhaskaras, Caraka and Shushruta, let alone known about Ashoka Stupa, Ajanta Caves, Mohenjodaro and Harappa.
In 1834 Charles Matthew Whish, a British employee of the East India Company, published a paper in The Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, where he wrote: “Kerala mathematicians had. . . laid the foundation for a complete system of fluxions. . . and their works. . . abound with fluxional forms and series to be found in no work of foreign countries.” This was resuscitated and explored further by a scholar from Kerala affiliated to the University of Manchester towards the close of the twentieth century.
Western Indologists not only brought to light many hidden gems of Hindu and Buddhist India, they also made them available to the world at large, thereby alerting the West of aspects of ancient India’s greatness of which they, like other Hindus, had been totally ignorant. I say this in the spirit of giving the devil his due, not for defending the negative aspects of Indology.
Let me reiterate that nothing of what I am saying here is to condone the untenable and deprecating writings of Non-Hindu Indologists that are explicitly detailed in this book, much less to argue that Sanskrit studies must continue to be in the hands of those who have no insider-experience of Vedic tradition. I would emphasize that all commentators on religions must realize that the religious framework embodies cultural certitudes that only the initiated can experience and embrace. There is no religion without the poetry of symbols that add to the aesthetics, and the metaphor of parables that convey the esoteric meanings implicit in the abstract resonance of revealed truths. Scholars who don’t recognize this are like color-blind connoisseurs who appraise a painting splashed on a black and white TV screen, unable to experience the chromatic splendor of the original. They just don’t get it (all).
Analytical inquiry is fruitless reveals aspects of what is studied that are opaque to emotive involvement. The Ramayana as literature and the Gita as a philosophical work don’t give a tenth of the spiritual ecstasy that bhajans and chants offer, but they take us to different realms that are rich in their own ways. As with the wave-particle duality of the electron, the more we focus on one aspect – the experiential or the analytical – the more the other gets blurred. In saying that one or the other is the whole truth one loses half of what the work has to offer.
Scholars in the West have dissected their own culture from profane (non-sacred) perspectives, and have enriched their intellectual-spiritual heritage in the process. Perhaps they don’t have the right to do this with other cultures. In Hamlet’s phrase, there’s the rub. If they do, they can expect reactions like this book, with more of its kind to come. At the same time, thinkers within any culture would do well to examine their own culture from perspectives that make them more relevant in the twenty-first century.
On mining from Sanskrit: There is much truth in the statement that “westerners from many other disciplines and walks of life are mining ancient Sanskrit for its philosophical sophistication, spiritual guidance, and potential for expanding systematic knowledge in fields ranging from physics to mind sciences,” especially in the fields of philosophy, epistemology, psychology and the cognitive sciences. But I doubt that practicing physicists (that includes Hindu physicists from S. N. Bose and C. V. Raman to S. Chandrasekhar and G. Sudarshan) mine Sanskrit writings for their research in current physics. That is not how physics progresses. Even if some do, that is minimal compared to how much Hindus mine from the Western knowledge base in modern science. Many things that abundantly enrich India today: from electromagnetism and nuclear energy to computers and you-tube, let alone the violin, the harmonium, and cricket, are from the West. Universal science and knowledge are for all humanity to mine from and contribute to. The universal wisdom in Sanskrit belongs to this category.
The Rohan Murty Library Project: This has become another controversy provoked by this book. The goal is to translate Indian literary works from various Indian languages into English and present them via Harvard University. It is unfortunate that Indians are still seeking shelter and recognition from Western universities and the English language to publicize their culture and civilization. Harvard would do well, as did another university in California, to say “Thanks, but no thanks!” to Indian millionaires who want to establish Hindu chairs in the West, and ask them to better use that money to establish pátashalas in India to educate Hindus on their culture and civilization: an enterprise that was thwarted by Thomas Babington Macaulay.
Concluding Thoughts
All said and done, the vast majority of practicing Hindus, especially those that don’t speak English, don’t need or read the commentaries of Western scholars on their religion except when they are drawn to them by books like The Battle for Sanskrit. Even if they do read such books, their own faith, inclinations, and commitments are not likely to be adversely affected by what American scholars say about the Ramayana, the Gita, Lord Ganesha or Saint Ramakrishna.
Nevertheless, The Battle for Sanskrit is a book of enormous value, significance, and relevance. Many have heard the opening line of Rudyard Kipling’s The Ballad of East and West. But it is worth recalling its first four lines:
Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth!
In Kipling’s era the twain could never have met, because both were not equally strong. But today East and West stand face to face as two strong (free) men. Now they can talk as equals without feeling superior or inferior. That is what we are witnessing in our own times. Malhotra’s voice is a bold stance that the East (Hindu India) is taking vis-a-vis the West, saying, “Stop it! Our culture and religion are not toys for you to play with in the ivory towers of your universities.” The West has no choice but to listen with respect and some contrition. As a result of this book, Indology as a discipline may be discontinued and disbanded, or its paradigm will be significantly shifted.
Like Sri Aurobindo of an earlier era Rajiv Malhotra is reminding his co-religionists that there are profound truths and spiritual richness in classical Vedic visions. Except for his antagonism for the West, he is the Hindu equivalent of G. K. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis and other Christian thinkers who brought out effectively the deeper roots of their tradition to their people and won millions of followers. At the very least the Hindu world should be deeply grateful to him for his tireless commitment to the cause. Indeed, he is likely to be declared a modern rishi, and deservedly so.
