Hindutva – Ideology or Way of Life

With the recent turn of events where 40 US universities were identified as supporting a conference of Elite Educated set of folks who labelled the conference as “Dismantling Global Hindutva” aka DGH. The foremost to publicize it was the (in)famous educator from Rutgers University Newark Campus Dr. Audrey Trusche. Someone who is known to be a Hindu Hater and the one who with her research shows magnanimity of Auranzeb as the Liberal Ruler (sic). However, this post is NOT about either Audrey or Aurangzeb.

Background to the DGH and Audrey are from the perspective to highlight the Degree of Illiteracy in the general public about Hindutva aka Hinduism embedded as a Way of Life for the followers of Sanatan Dharm. The Dharm is so deep rooted with so many scientific approaches to follow in life that its existence has always been challenged. The History of Sanatan Dharm has been termed Mythology. Over the period of thousand plus years when the tyrant Muslim attacks destroyed scores of Santan Literature in an aim to destroy the existence of Historical evidences.

Over a period of time, the slow phases of Muslim Rulers and the way they dealt with the Hindu Society by using Pirs and Fakirs, by sending Sufi and levying Jazia deteoriated Self Belief in Hindu Society. Various Proverbs coined then demeaned Hindu Deities and Ideology. Post the downfall of Mughals, Britishers carried through the tectics, ruined Gurukul System and introduced Caste based concepts that were never in practice in the Hindu Ideology. All this divided the Hindu Society and helped them gain strength day by day.

Over a period of time, the politicians used this tried and tested methodology where now they are dividing Hindus in Upper Caste, Lower Caste, Dalit, Mahajan, Harijan etc. And this is to do nothing but garner their Vote Bank to fill their coffers with ill gotten riches.

However, from 2014, a new wave of revival of Hindu Ideology in its original form “Sanatan” has started. This is giving sleepless nights not only to the leftists or the communists but to those who always used Divide and Rule policy to rule over this land of Rishis and Architects. With BJP sweeping through the 2014 and then 2019 electoral results, the rise of Right Wing has provided new life and belief to the Core Sanatan Followers and they are out from their cocoons to now wearing their ideology on their sleeves.

Elections this year are going to prove to be the acid test for both the Core Sanatan Followers as well as the BJP where they will have to pass through a litmus test and come out with flying colors. While the so called Left Winders or Atheists will be up against the Sanatan Wave and will come out in scores to demean the efforts and this is where the Core Sanatan Followers will have to give a tough fight to them. On the day of voting, the Sanatan Followers will have to come out and Vote to ensure thumping Victory of BJP Candidates. They should not be treating the electoral day as a holiday or sit out to relax at home. Their absence from the Voting Center would be a negative impact in many Constituencies. Over a long term this will impact the Government policies and will impact results for which they would have no rights to say anything against the Government that will form in the center.

Sanatan Followers should treat elections 2024 as Dharm Yuddh and must learn that in Dharm Yuddh absence from the battle field (Voting Stations) is considered siding Adharm and once they side Adharm, they can’t call anything else to be foul play.

So, be a proud Sanatani to step out of the house and Vote fot he BJP candidates in large numbers. In Hindu Ideology, Democracy thrives with Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas; else it may result in Statements that previous Govt used to give and the Bills that previous Govt wanted to table and impact Sanatan Followers negatively, bith Economically as well as Legally.
