A CLARION CALL AT LAST ... 1

♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧♧

At last the truth has been unambiguously articulated by a Ramakrishna monk. Since the days of Swamiji who was forthright in his statements on any issue and never covered up corpses with flowers that soon were to fester as well, there has been none who dared to freely and fearlessly speak about the dangers of Islamisation that has historically threatened India and looms large today as a political prospect in perfidy, courtesy the vote-bank politics played by rogues that rule the roost in a land liberated from foreign yoke by the best elements that humanity has been heir to. Swami Shuddhidananda, President of the Advaita Ashrama, Mayavati, of the Ramakrishna Order has laid bare what needed to have been said decades ago by valorous souls who instead chose to hide behind the harmony cover of put up pretences in the name of deft interpretation of Swamiji's message, selective and saline, that has built up the systolic and diastolic pressure of the national form about to be laid prostrate before proselytising cults of the Abrahamic fold. The Sanātan Dharm faces the spectre of subcontinental obliteration if this trend is allowed to continue for much longer and active resistance is not put up to root it out from the system that is Sanātan Bhārat. Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh have gone to Islam with catastrophic consequences. Within India Kashmir has gone and West Bengal is following suit. Unless Hindus do their dhārmik duty and unite in self-defence, casting aside all petty dietary, linguistic, regional and theological differences, history will repeat itself and the Islamisation of India will not be possible to avert. Rapid demographic change owing to hyper-fertility of one section of people proposing Ghazwa-e-Hind and the ever-declining fertility of the other, oblivious of its civilisational consequences, is portending to make Muammar Gadāffi's prophecy good that the West would be conquered by the womb of Muslim women. So also in India, that is, in whatever is left of Sanātan Bhāratvarsha. India will fall to Islam unless measures are taken on a mass scale on a systematic basis to protect Hindu interests. To this end mass awareness is necessary whose first signs were visible in the founding of the Rashtriya Swayam Sevak Sangha (RSS) by Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in 1925, immediately after the founding of the Muslim Brotherhood the previous year (1924) in Egypt by way of an avowed programme to reestablish the Islamic Caliphate that had been abolished by thd victorious powers post World War I. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk Pasha further buried the remains of an Islamic resurgence deep by modernising Turkey, the seat of the erstwhile Ottoman Empire, along radical secular lines. Out of the depths of reactionary medieval religiopolitical aspirations came therefore the Muslim Brotherhood whose worldwide agenda of Islamic domination had to be met in India habituated by vast millions of Muslims compromising 24% of the population. 

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Hedgewar arrived on the scene with his radically different views from the Congress of which he was earlier a part and had even suffered incarceration for his political activities for freedom. While the Congress deemed British colonial-imperial occupation of India as the only enemy to be dealt with along pacifist lines, an ideological trap into which even the radical revolutionaries fell, Hedgewar had a clearer comprehension of the real civilisational enemy in Islam, its thousand year old repression of the Sanātan civilisation in the subcontinent. He resolved to build an organisation that would attempt to protect Hindu interests much like the Arya Samajists were doing but along quite another line. But while the Arya Samajists with their exclusive ways were, alongside defending the Hindus and even retrieving lost ground with their 'Shuddhi' programme, inadvertently dividing the body politic of the Hindus along sectarian lines where they deemed their path to be the only true path in line with the Vedas, rejecting the Smriti Shāstras as so much un-Vedic accretion of the ages, Hedgewar's RSS attempted to unite all sects, sections and strata of the Hindu Samaj which would in effect give the Hindus both solidarity and strength and their rightful defence in general union against the entrenched Abrahamic faith-foes whose long-term stated agenda has always been complete conversion of the Hindus towards which end both Christian missions with all their charitable facade and Muslim mullahs with their aggressive proselytism have been historically geared to in no uncertain terms. However, the delusion that Hindus had been suffering about the Islamic and Christian intent, imagining all the while that these Abrahamic faiths were extensions of the grand Sanātan Dharma, coupled with unfortunate references to the European fascist movements in some RSS literature, no doubt by way of explaining the civilisational dangers faced by the Hindus which were amply testified by historical happenings, could not garner mass support for the RSS from the body politic of the Hindus. Moreover, mass sympathy was for the freedom fighters, for the non-violent passive movement of the magnetic Mahatma, and this, accentuated by political events of the times which were complex and compelling, did not allow the RSS to occupy centrestage in the national scene till decades hence by when vast changes had taken place in the world.
