Harmony of faiths cannot be a one-sided effort by the Hindus. Let Islam and Christianity first accept Hinduism as true and stop converting Hindus to their fold before this hypocritical harmony of faiths be attempted by organisations feigning shallow understanding of history and the intent of these proselytising cults. Dharma cannot harmonise with adharma. Those that are attempting it are bound to miserably fail for it goes against the grain of these two Semitic faiths to accept any religion but themselves as true.

Pretence cannot be the basis for peace and harmony; facing facts and overcoming fundamental obstacles by calling a spade a spade can. The Hindus have lost territorial influence in subscribing to this unnecessary call by Hindu organisations to harmonise with fanatical faiths that are scripturally commanded to destroy polytheistic Hinduism. Much blood has flown from the arteries of Hindus, at least 80 to 100 million Hindus having been slaughtered by the sword of Islam and hundreds of thousands more by Christian conquerors, most viciously so by the Portuguese colonists. The motherland has been dismembered and Hindus and Hinduism have been and are being wiped out of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the quasi-Islamic country of Bangladesh. Let us leave Afghanistan aside. That country which was originally Hindu Gandhaar has shown  to Hindus the real nature of Islam, its unalloyed original form where persecution of the kafir (infidel in the eyes of Islam) is at its worst. Even in Hindu-majority India Hindus are suffering persecution at the hands of fanatical Muslims. Kashmir, West Bengal and Kerala are but three provincial instances. And in the North-east the Christian missionaries are doing everything to woo or force Hindus into converting to Christianity. Hindu organisations are regularly heckled, obstructed in their operation and the locals raised against them to violent action. And all this has an international network backing it. It is a big conspiracy hatched against the solidarity and integration of India. 

So, must we continue to pretend that everything is alright with these faiths that call for the destruction of Hinduism and fuel secessionist forces in India, and proceed with our foolish inter-faith meets whose consequence for sure will be the confounding of Hindus further, or shall we expose the historical injustices Islam and Christianity have done to Hindus and continue to do till date so that Hindus will wake up to the necessity of defending their dharma and culture which all along Swamiji wanted?

P.S. One only hopes that the Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago carries on courses on Islam where its fanatical doctrines are clearly spelled out before students and through online broadcasts so that the world is warned better about its scriptural content and intent. So must they reveal in unequivocal terms the bloody history of carnage that Christianity and Islam have engaged in throughout the world with the purpose of propagating their fanatical doctrines and converting all else to their fold. Will the monastic and the lay members of the Vivekananda Vedanta Society of Chicago have the courage of conviction, the strength of character and the adherence to undiluted truth to do so? Or, will it be yet another misadventure that will confound matters worse for Hindus and other persecuted communities at the hands of proselytising Islam and Christianity the world over? Inmates of the Home of Harmony, reflect on this. Ponder deep before you superficially preach peace that may humour your ego but which will necessarily fail to address the violently intolerant core scriptural issues of Islam and Christianity whose fanatical votaries will forever lie outside the ambit of your superficial influence.
