🕉 THIS WE MUST FOR SURVIVAL'S SAKE

We have to Hinduise India, not Arabise it. All Indian dharma traditions must be preserved and helped to flourish. Abrahamic faiths that preach exclusive ideologies regarding fidelity and infidelity cannot in truth be part of an inclusive pluralistic society that democratic India aspires to be. Thus far it has been a dismal failure to duly integrate them in the body politic of the motherland.

Divisive ideologies necessarily divide the nation and can never be factors of future integration as well unless core scriptural principles are altered or shelved. But that can never be. 'Divine' dictates are inviolable and may not be amended.

The Partition of India would have taught any other nation the necessary lessons but not us who continue to harbour rosy illusions about future prospects of fertile fraternity with political cults intent on destruction of the sublime Sanatan Dharma and its culture of universal acceptance of all divine -- not undivine, mark you -- paths to the ultimate truth of the oneness of spiritual existence. 🕉
