The Moral High Ground- I

When Devas and Rakshasas fight, the smartest trick Rakshasas use, is to trap Devas in their own morality. The path connecting the two points in time, looks rosy, heavenly, righteous, even ecstatic, because the kind of kick and high, that you get out of creating a very holy pious and moral self image, is incomparable to any other narcotic substance. Fortunately or unfortunately, our civilization has set for itself, such a high standards of moral behavior, that we can be easily trapped by any enemy, whether it is an insider or an outsider. So much so that even the most wicked of our civilizational enemies, can give us guilt trip with their words when we fight them using their techniques, and we will start to rethink our strategy to fight them, will get self conscious and will walk right into their trap when we are about to slay them and then they will rise up again, filled with confidence and treachery. And we? We backtrack hoping that the Rakshasas have a change of heart. Our own trait ...

They leave Abrahamism, Abraham doesn't leave them

I know, you guys are bored. You must be thinking, "All the time this man has to talk about Abrahamic faiths and nothing else." Sadly, they are the greatest disaster of our times, and a threat to our civilization. Had they been more inward looking and less obsessed with externalities, the world would have been a better place to live. As long as this doesn't happen, individuals like me will have to remain busy analysing and dissecting them. There are a few interesting characteristics, common to all the three Abrahamic faiths, i.e. Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We will talk about them one by one in this article, and in detail in future articles. Let us suppose, you are looking for something that is very important to you or say your peace of mind. Let's call it an experience X. What will you do? You'll talk to the people who have been through the experience X, you'll read books about the experience X, you'll read the methods people have applied to go throug...

Save your families

Indian intellectual watchdogs aka liberandus are regularly bashed for their mindset rooted in coloniality. They regularly finds themselves at loggerheads with Hindu cultural practices, and family system. But we never understand where does their opposition to family values come from. For that, we need to understand an interesting phenomenon. It is a well observed fact that all anti Hindu forces, armed with the tools of Marxism, hate the emotion of nationalism. Text book definition of a nation is sense of belonging towards one's own common culture, history and soil. Notable fact is, that none of these can evolve with an individual, especially a culture. For a culture to develop, the fundamental requirement is present of a basic unit called family. If nation is born out of culture and civilization, and culture needs existence of a family and a community life, it is impossible that you may consider an individual to be the basic unit of the nation instead of a family. Unfortunately, Ind...

All religions are not the same

We hear people blabbering this. I use the word blabbering, not because of getting carried away by my own biases. But I do so, because people use this phrase, "All religions are the same" either unconsciously or without rigorously going through the religious texts of different religions. That is why I used the word "blabbering". To understand why that isn't the case, we, for a moment, need to be objective and forget that we follow a certain religious system/faith system. All the religious practices or the faith systems/religions, were essentially man made. Our ego born out of our adherence to our faith may not let us accept it but that's the objective truth. But note that all these religions, were not born in the same geography. Atleast when we pit Santana Dharma or Hinduism, against Abrahamic faiths, that is pretty much a fact. These two religious systems were born in diffrent parts of the world, separated by thousands of miles. Thus they were not only produ...

What is law?

No, this article is not about defining law. But in order to set the background, we must understand this from the social point of view. The codified version of the collective morality of a particular society which applies uniformly to the common populace to some extent, is called law. While there might be improvisations or exceptions made in the law as per the circumstances, law in general is reflection of the society for which it is drafted.  Let's hop on to Indian society, and ask ourselves a fundamental question: Who drafted the laws and legal system for this country in the contemporary world? Answer to this question is quite obvious, the white Christian British coloniser. If you look into the debates of imperial legislature in Britain, you'll get to know that they intended to enforce their version of morality on diverse Indian society or say Hindu society.While these laws look very distinct from religion, the reality might be otherwise. As previously stated, law is collectiv...

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 ...

THE QUEST FOR AN HONEST ANSWER

The day before yesterday, i.e. 27th of July, 2022, could have ended as any other day, had I not hastily decided to go out with my college friend who accidentally happened to be from my hometown. As we decided over a phone call, I shunned my laziness, got ready, tied my shikha sutra (very thin pony tail), and with a few instruction along with a hundred rupee note, I was on my way to meet my friend. We had mutually decided a place to meet from where we were to be on our way to the lake nearby. I didn't need to wait for even a minute and an e-rickshaw arrived, which was heading into the direction I had to take. "Kahaan Jana hai? (Where do you want to go?"), he enquired. "Dharmshala underpass ke neeche"(Below the Dharmshala underpass), I replied. "Peechhe waali seat par baith jaaiye"(sit on the back seat), he respectfully said.  Must admit that UP government is doing excellent job by eliminating gasoline run taxi vehicles. There was only one passenger sitt...

Decolonised yet colonial

In this age of politically independent India, we casually, or dare I say unthinkingly, use so many terms as a part of our day to day language. Like 'modern', 'rational', 'orthodox', 'scientific', 'reason/reasonable', 'logical' etc., to name a few. But do we ever ask ourselves, where does the origin of the inherent meaning of these words lie? The practices which are synonymous to these terms today, have their origin in the era of renaissance, and the 'Age of enlightenment'. It was then, when the treaty of westphallia was signed and the first voyage of Columbus took place and then began the 'Age of discovery'. The European colonial powers, by the use of brute force/tactics, subjugated societies all over the world. But their interest didn't just involve the political and economic exploitation. They also desired to convert the entire subjugated society to their way of life and they did so by means of introducing the Europe...

"THE stereotypical Gender roles"

From whatever I've understood about the human society and its evolution over millennia, here are my two cents. Long long long time ago, when there was nothing like a man and a woman, there was only a biological male and a biological female, and the human mindset was not as sophisticated as it is today. There is a fair possibility, that in those circumstances, the tasks of day to day life weren't fixed for male and female, but instead, both of them attempted all of the tasks. With time, it was understood, that one group was good at one set of tasks, and the other group, was good at the other set of tasks. When the human society, as it was then, realised this truth of male and female being good at different sets of tasks, those tasks, as a matter of convenience, were fixed for the two. What we today, see as stereotypical mindset or way of thinking, is actually not a blindly developed stereotype, but an outcome of natural evolution process of human society over thousands of years,...

Truths, which we ignore about Abrahamic religions

While studying and comparing multiple religious systems, we, the Hindus, are often confused between two concepts, or say, two ideologies - Monotheism and Monism. Now let's take a look at the types into which religions are divided by scholars. Basically there are two types of religions on the basis of number of entities they worship- Monotheistic and Polytheistic. If you use Google translate on web, translation of Monotheism given there is Ekeshwarwaad (एकेश्वरवाद), i.e. the ideology which worships one ultimate entity (whatever be it's name, but it's ultimate source of everything). If you use Google translate to translate Polytheism, it says BAHUDEVA-VAAD (बहुदेववाद). Be careful, here's a dangerous turn, make no mistake. Meaning of polytheism is an ideology which worships multiple deities,( Devi-Devata) and it's not the worship of multiple ultimate entities, because if an entity has to be ultimate, it can only be one and not many, that is why we the Hindus, use t...

EQUALITY FRATERNITY LIBERTY

Three important objectives stated in preamble of our Constitution: Equality, Fraternity, Liberty (Let's ignore justice for a moment) Liberty- freedom. Freedom can be freedom to move and live and explore and have access to all economic opportunities or humanly pleasures. Freedom can, freedom to choose community, religion, religious practices. The first set of freedoms, aim at individual liberty, they keep individuals and individualism at focal point. The second set of freedoms, keep communities and community lives at focal point. Edifice of individual freedoms is Judeo-Christian dogma that all men are born equal. This eventually aims to atomise the society and put an end to a community life. While fraternity on the other hand again aims to promote communities, community lives and eventually community interests. Thus, liberty can either be described with respect to equality or with respect to fraternity. But aren't these two standing against each other, as how can atomisation ...

Anti conversion legislations

Quite often I find bunch of interesting people criticising any legislation passed by any state of India aiming to prevent conversion of Hindus. They call such legislations unconstitutional. The basis of this arguement is Article 25 which guarantees the freedom of conscience, the freedom to profess, practice, and propagate religion to all citizens. Along with that, the clause 25(1) says that this freedom is subject to restrictions based on public health, order and morality. Let's shift our focus on the phrase "Freedom of conscience". That means the person has to have a free will and right to decide by himself about his religious denomination, "free will" being the operative part. Allurement of a person into a religious denomination on the pretext of economic benefits is blatant misuse and exploitation of his poor economic condition. Simultaneously it is also a failure on the part of a so called  "socialist state" in ensuring enough economic opportuniti...

A truth that no one discusses

1946 provincial election took place for the assemblies of British Indian provinces. These assemblies were to elect the members of constituent assembly. Separate electorate concept was implemented in the elections. Means, Muslims were to have their own separate represention in Muslim majority seats of each province. Provinces of then British India, which are now in India were: Bengal Punjab Bihar UP(United Provinces, later Uttar Pradesh) Bihar CP(Central provinces. Today's Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh) Bombay Madras Assam Orissa Out of these, Bengal and Punjab were partitioned. Assam's Sylhet district became a part of East Pakistan through referendum. Let's consider UP. In 1946 elections, 66 seats were declared Muslim seats and out of them 54 were won by Muslim League, which is roughly 82%. 1941 census report says, Muslim population in UP was 8,416,308. Very clearly. Next census took place in 1951. 1951 census report was created statewise. Because by then India had a fede...
