WHO IS THE 'PROSELYTISING ENEMY'? [IN RESPONSE TO SAGATA BANERJEE'S QUESTION]

WHO IS THE 'PROSELYTISING ENEMY'? [IN RESPONSE TO SAGATA BANERJEE'S QUESTION]

Proselytising religions which wish to subvert our Sanatan culture and civilisation by mass conversion of Hindus 🕉 to their Semitic fold with their consequent alienisation in cultural terms and in intent from our motherland's welfare. Partition has proved the point as has mass conversion of Hindus 🕉 and their inhuman persecution for over 1300 years which has cost an estimated 80 million Hindu lives according to credible sources. The shrinking of Hindu influence across wide Asia and the secession of the Sanatan subcontinent's border provinces of Gandhara [Afghanistan], Punjab-Sindh [Pakistan] and East Bengal [Bangladesh] with their wholesale Islamisation and forcible conversion, eviction and annihilation of the resident Hindus, not to mention the humiliation, taxation and suppression of their spiritual culture, are glaring testimony as to what Islam has done for well over a millennium in India, a land that had built Islam's second mosque in Southern India after the first one at Medina, a country that had sheltered the Prophet's persecuted descendants and saved their lives. Add to this the nefarious role Christianity has played in perverting the tribal people of the North East from their indigenous faiths to the Abrahamic one, a force whose evangelical elements in the guise of philanthropy have ever plotted to undermine India's security by facilitating separatism. The Ramakrishna Mission and the Ramakrishna Sarada Mission have regularly faced enormous hardship in conductng their service activities there with their institutions having been vandalised repeatedly. Wherever Muslims have been or are in majority, or are even a sizeable minority, there Hindu rights have been regularly infringed upon, nay, literally trampled upon. Our cultural integration has been thwarted and our civilisational progress retarded for over a millennium by these nefarious political forces masquerading as religions. The Portuguese have conducted mass inquisitions, so to say, in their western colonies in India, converted and murdered hundreds of thousands of Hindus, and yet must you ask as to who the 'proselytising enemy' is? Who has historically proselytised at the point of the sword -- the Hindus or the Muslims and the Christians with their dastardly domain thus spreading over the entirety of the blood-drenched globe? Hindus and Buddhists have never been aggressive by arms in their spiritual ministration and spread throughout the world. Theirs have been the silent sprouting of the spiritual seed in the hearts of men everywhere by the power of exemplary asceticism, philosophy, love, benediction and service. Now comprehend. 🕉

P.S. Invading Islam has subverted our civilisation in a horrendous way from which we have never recovered. Bakhtiyar Khilji torched Nalanda University. Thousands of Buddhist mobks were murdered. The flames consumed 900,000 ancient and medieval manuscripts and books for three months. After ninety days of infernal fire that raged over this premier academic institution of India and the world, it lay in ruins, its library reduced to ashes and with it India's past history, the sciences and the arts, the coded culture and civilisation gone for good. The once flourishing seat of national and global knowledge had been reduced to rubble and 'raakh' [ashes] by the barbarous hordes who could not tolerate any learning that lay beyond the bounds of the Qur'an. India lost her millenia-old learning, her vast body of all-round knowledge that lay enshrined in these sacred and sanctified books, which is why we, Hindus, are now clueless as to our early civilisational history beyond what the epics and the itihasas have conveyed to us through their complex tales and narratives wherefrom it is difficult to extract the actual episodes and events in strictly historical terms. The Islamic invasion has rendered India's early history blurred and obscure.

Now to remind you of the genocides Islam has perpetrated in India on account of its divisive doctrines. Remember the Moplah genocide of 1921, the Great Calcutta Killing of 1946, the Noakhali and other genocides therafter throughout East Bengal the same year and, worst of all, the murderous mutilation of the motherland by the All-India Muslim League's demand with its post-Partition Pakistani armed aggressions involving four wars, countless terror attacks and systematic subjugation and slaughter of resident Hindus in the partitioned parts. Add to that the eviction of Hindus from Afghanistan and Kashmir, and you have the perilous picture perfect. 

Approximately 44,000 Hindu temples have been historically razed to the ground and mosques raised over them through the use of the temple material throughout India, the Ayodhya, the Kashi Vishvanath and the Mathura temples being only three such of seminal significance. The Somnath Temple was looted, desecrated and destroyed umpteen times and raised its spire yet again with the blood and toil of the motherland's valorous sons and daughters. Hindu women have been mass-molested, pregnant women murdered, their foetuses in womb laid to rest, and Hindu girls enslaved and traded to Arabia and Turkey to please there the imperial Islamic masters. The Hindukush Mountain bears testimony to the continued slaughter of Hindus en route to the Middle East.

The Bamiyan Buddhas, the pride of Gandhara, have been blown down before our very eyes. Buddhism and Hinduism have been replaced by Islam in these conquered regions. Kashmir, the ancient and medieval seat of Hindu and Buddhist culture has been reduced to ruins by its total Islamisation. 

The Sikhs have suffered no less. Three of their great Gurus, Arjan Devji [fifth Guru], Tegh Bahadurji [ninth Guru] and Gobind Singhji [tenth and the last Guru] have been killed by the Mughals mercilessly. Gobind Singhji's two youngest sons, Baba Zorawar Singhji and Baba Fateh Singhji, were bricked alive by Aurangzeb's Governor Wazir Khan.

How much more must I recount for there yet remains an endless list of atrocities committed by these Islamic invaders, very often inspired and activated by religious zeal, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of our Rajput women in the Jauhar and the deaths of their men folk in the Saka? Let me rest my case here and leave you to reflect, mother, you who in Islamic eyes are the 'Najis Kaffir' [unclean infidel] fit for the Muslim right hand's possession in war but who in the Hindu eye are the emblem of the Divine Mother, the purest representation of Shakti on earth. 🕉
