THE IMPERATIVE OF THE HOUR

THE IMPERATIVE OF THE HOUR 

Hinduism needs to be propagated far more vigorously in India and elsewhere. Each and every Hindu 🕉 must do so. It is the need of the hour, both for the survival of the Hindu 🕉 religion and for the survival of the world.

The religions of Indian origin are peaceful and universal in their acceptance. Christianity ✝️ and Islam ☪️ are scripturally intolerant and exclusive. Islam ☪️ especially, as practised in its original intent and as per scriptural dictate, is very toxic for democratic, secular and liberal living as it is always trying to impose itself on people of other faiths or no faith as such. In the name of spreading peace its only intent is to convert others to its fold till the world is the House of Islam, Dar-ul-Islam. This is an unwholesome attempt at creating a monolith, crushing natural diversity of belief and religious persuasion. Its very attempt is toxic, violent and dangerous for the world's prospects. 

Christianity ✝️ once attempted it and did not succeed. Europe saw a violent secular revolution to break free of the stranglehold of the Church. Islam ☪️ has also waged umpteen religious wars to establish itself globally. For a long time its Caliphate dictated terms to Asia and parts of Europe like Spain. Eventually, a violent war lasting 150 years called the Crusades and the Jihads marked out the respective territories of Christendom and the Islamic Umma but the dying embers of such religiopolitical wars have not quite died yet. Their flickers can yet spark off flames before they engulf the world in a conflagration whose consequences we cannot quite remotely comprehend. After all, the fanatics will call it the arrival of end times when the final victory of their religion will have been achieved but for the rest of rational humanity such a catastrophic fate will be least welcome.
