"FACE THE BRUTE," SAID SWAMIJI

"FACE THE BRUTE," SAID SWAMIJI

Surface treatment of Islamic intolerance will not produce results. The doctrine has to be challenged on the ideological basis and defeated just like science stood face to face with persecuting Christianity and won the ideological war to reorient Europe to its rational stance. Then alone will real progress towards peace be possible. Else, it will be eyewash through and through. 

More and more of those perverted from the Sanatan Dharma to Islam and Christianity must be brought back to the fold of the ancestral dharma. The entire subcontinent must be Hinduised once more for peace to prevail. And it must begin with mutilated India. Only when Hindus are overwhelming in numbers again will sanity be restored in this 'wounded civilisation' (quote, courtesy, Naipaul).

The Sanatan Dharma has for 'scores of shining centuries' (quote, courtesy, Vivekananda) been the life-blood of the motherland, its very vitality, its sustenance, succour, nay, its very soul. For fourteen centuries this rhythm has been progressively upset by invasive infiltration of its culture by barbarous desert forces. Hindus have been laid low by the organised force of Islam. The country has been dismembered in 1947. Countless genocides have been perpetrated on the Hindus by Islamists who are scripturally enjoined to destroy the polytheist, idolatrous kafir (infidel) which the Hindu emonently is in the eyes of original Islam.

The plight of the Hindus continues till date. On 19 January, 1990 around 500,000 Kashmiri Hindu Pandits were forced into exile in their very own country with a functioning sovereign government at the helm of affairs. Unspeakable brutality was unleashed on them in the wake of threatening calls which were being given out from the mosques of the Kashmir Valley over the loudspeaker asking Hindus to either 'convert, leave or die'. But before the day was done, hundreds of Hindus had been massacred, their women folk molested and murdered, their property looted and houses set on fire. This was the bloody signal sent in the name of the 'Religion of Peace' for the rest of the Hindus to overnight escape to neighbouring Jammu and elsewhere, suddenly destitute and reduced to the status of the refugee in their own country.

Such a genocide and the country has been silent on it as the refugees have suffered for three decades and more with no hope of mass rehabilitation in the near future. Those few that have been rehabilitated thus far are being selectively shot by Islamic terrorists to once more try and precipitate another Hindu exodus, the prospective eighth exodus since the fourteenth century.

This is just the story of Kashmir. West Bengal and Kerala are replicating for Hindus the same experience in pockets where Muslims are in the majority. There is complete silence on it as well by both the respective governments and the intellectual class who are up in arms ever against the Hindus and their interests. Add to this Christian proselytisation using deceit, monetary inducement and pressure tactics, and you get your picture perfect about the treacherous times that Hindus in Hindustan are going through. 

Where lies the solution then? The solution lies where the problem is. The problem is in the doctrine. Study the doctrine of jihad. Expose it. Point out its inhumanity, its barbarous motive and intent. Ideologically confront it. Defeat it in the intellectual plane. Point out the philosophical flaws of Islam. Study Islamic history and recount the story of human genocide conducted by Islam ever since its inception. Educate the Hindus about the content of the three basic Islamic texts, namely, the Qur'an, the Hadith and the Sira. Hold classes offline and online on these. Make the Hindus aware of the Islamic doctrinaire threat to their civilisation and culture, to their very existence. 

One more thing. Face the brute. Catch the bull by the horns. Do not deflect discussion through loss of focus. Do not digress but hit the hammer on the head of the nail. Pin the adversary down where he is weakest, in his scriptural position, in his genocidal history and in his stance of national issues vis-a-vis doctrinaire injunctions that are binding on him. Know your own dharma and civilisational history to combat falsities foisted on the Hindus by these Islamists about wholesale persecution of the Buddhists by the Hindus while conveniently ignoring mass destruction of Buddhist monks, their culture, their viharas and their universities, namely, Nalanda and Vikramashila, by Islamic invaders. You need knowledge to confront and combat malicious counter-campaigning by enemies. This is called ideological defence. Here we, Hindus, have work to do.
