What is the price?

We have been discussing problems. That's what we do everyday, in our social circles, among our family members, with ourselves, within the media, on political levels, everywhere. A substantial portion of Hindu population is awakened enough to see the dangers and the enemies of our society. We, the Hindus, are the last pagan civilization, standing against the Abrahamic worldview, and the millennia old onslaught of the Abrahamic ideologies against the more accepting, civilised, balanced and peaceful cultures/faiths/civilizations of the world. We are the last fortress. All others are gone. Romans, Greeks, Aztecs, Maya, Inca, old Egyptians, Zoroastrians, Nordic faiths, Mithraism, all are lying dead. Will we, and all those philosophies and those ways of life, which stemmed out of us, like Buddhism and Jainism, be able to survive and continue their ways of life? 

This is the most fundamental question that faces all of us. This question is the actual underlying root of all the problems we discuss. 

Maybe, for once we should try to think of solution, instead of obsessing over problems. Since the question is a generalized one, the answer should be a generalized one too.

Will we about to survive? 

I'll choose to answer it conditionally. Yes, we will survive and we will thrive. As I said, this is a conditional answer. We will be able to survive if we don't repeat the mistakes, made by our dead sister civilizations. 

What should we do?

We should militarise ourselves as a society. Am I talking about buying firearms for self defence? Or maybe swords, knives and machetes? The answer to that question is, maybe yes. But that is just physical dimension of militarisation. Much before that, comes the mental dimension of militarisation. How do we militarise our minds? Hindus, as a civilization, need to have a critical mass of its population, with two important characteristics. These characteristics are called, स्वबोध (Swabodha) and शत्रुबोध (Shatrubodha)। स्वबोध means, to know who we are as a civilization. What defines our identity? What is the unifying thread tying all the diverse sampradayas into a beautiful garland and bring them all under one umbrella? We need to answer these questions as a civilization. Once we define ourselves collectively with a few essential characteristics, the next step is शत्रुबोध. शत्रुबोध means, to know our enemy. But that is a very superficial definition. Deep down, it actually means, to know the answer to the question "who we are not?". It means to know the characteristics, features, actions, thoughts, which are fundamentally at loggerheads with the characteristics, features, actions, thoughts of Hindu civilization. Once we start defining the things or identities which we aren't, we will gradually come to know, that incidentally, all these characteristics, which don't belong to us, belong to our civilizational enemies. Interestingly, defining what we are not, is more important step. This is because, indeed hatred, repulsion, disgust, are very potent emotions. In his famous thesis named Clash of Civilizations, political scientist Samuel P. Huntington quotes a character from the novel Dead Lagoons by Michael Dibdin, "There can be no true friends without true enemies. Unless we hate what we are not, we cannot love what we are". This defining, completes the process of creation of mental boundary between us and them. Currently, sadly enough, we look at our enemies, as though they are the same human beings like us, just that they have lost the universal human values of peace and tolerance. Problem lies there. Majority of our population is oblivious to the hatred against us, deep seated in the Abrahamic theology, and they still tend to buy the nonsense that all religions are the same. A very basic example is, we often, in our day to day conversations, use the word shaheed interchangeably with the person who attained veer-gati. How many of us know that Shaheed is the believer (of Muslim faith) who died fighting jihad against the infidels(kafirs, i.e. us). There lies the true origin of the word shaheed. They, our enemies, might be same as us, but only physically. Mentally, they are diametrically opposite to our identity. They either believe we are fit to be enslaved, or we will burn in hell or we don't have souls (maybe an inconsequential micro minorty among them does not, but as I said, they are inconsequential). And they derive the sanction for all of this from their theology. We will discuss this in detail, some other day. 

This entire process of creation of this sense of "what we are?" and "what we are not?", is what I call mental militarisation. Once we complete this, anything or any step, that resembles physical militarisation, will be smooth and quick. The entire society will be ready for it in all directions and will take steps in this direction in all fronts, be it social, judicial, political, economic, religious. All aspects of our lives.

In short, this clear marking of ourselves and others, is the price we need to pay.

Are we ready to pay the price? Ask yourself.
