IN SOLIDARITY WITH A 'BAUDDHIK KSHATRIYA', TUFAIL CHATURVEDI 

Tufail Chaturvediji, you are doing a seminal service to the motherland. Your valorous stance is exemplary and will gradually find a vast following. One fervently hopes that you -- unlike so many others who with added adulation compromise on ideals and resort to falsification of history to garner support and seek fortune and fame -- will persist in the fearless forwarding of facts and will continue to inspire the Hindus with invigorating ideals that will activate them unto self-defence and the reclamation of lost heritage, territory and influence in the subcontinent and in the world.

Swami Vivekananda has said, "One man armed in truth can face the whole universe in opposition." Perhaps you will say that such emotional effusion in hyperbolic Oriental articulate terms can scarce help us, Hindus, to face the armed aggression of Islam. But Swamiji's times were difficult, conditions under colonial control constraining, his mission on earth varied and complex with vast national and global connotations of the day and of ages to come. He has given us a vast philosophy to be used to our spiritual and civilisational advantage judiciously. His words carry covert cryptic messages that we must decode and rebuild our 'wounded civilisation' [ref. Naipaul]. Hence, we must derive seed signals from his utterances and fashion them unto efflorescence as per our current requirements.

I wholeheartedly acknowledge your effort and gratefully thank you for the 'dharmayudh' [righteous war] that you are waging as a 'bauddhik kshatriya' [intellectual warrior], and am a fellow pilgrim in this journey of reclamation of the motherland ['Pujya Matribhumi' in your words which I reverently corroborate] in her pristine pure form.
