Vivekanand Jha Ranchi: My personal pain on beholding the only Hindu Rashtra in the world, Nepal, being mischievously reduced to a secular republic, was simply indescribable. In fact, such a subterranean shenanigans, which was very much afoot for decades, was meant to revile and excoriate the Hindu race in their own country. Unequivocally, the missionaries that were working for decades, in their Satanic endeavours to pulverise Hindus, finally had the last laugh when with the overwhelming support forthcoming from the Western powers, including India under the secular rule, Nepal, hitherto the only Hindu Rashtra, assumed the new mantle of a secular state.

Consequently, a new republic was born: Secular Republic of Nepal. Unfortunately, Nepal, languishing under monarchy for centuries, where the advent of a democracy was itself a daunting challenge, unveiled a new political movement against the royalty where Nepali Congress was the first to sound bugle for a revolt against the royalty, which later was hijacked by the Maoists. No wonder the death knell of royalty was the first visible sign of the impending departure of the concept of Hindu Rashtra in Nepal, where the Western power, in collusion with Vatican City, was waiting in the wings to debilitate the Hindu Rashtra and usher in a sham and duplicitous secularism to make Nepal another no man’s land as its elder brother, India.

In fact, the irony of the most ancient race on earth has been its own age-old subjugation by the invaders and the foreign powers. Paradoxically, the race which bestowed on the mankind the concept of the Creator and His Creation, itself fell casualty to the shenanigans of the far inferior race, which considered itself as far more civilised and educated than the aboriginals, Hindus, the Sanatanis, itself was the irony of all ironies. How the Hindus, which gave the world its first republic, Lichhavi, fell casualty to the invasions for millennia, unequivocally remains the conundrum for the scholars across the world. Apparently, the nation had purportedly lost its raison de’tre. The eternal scriptures like Vedas and Upanishads, the mother of all scriptures, failed to inspire the Hindus, over generations, so much so that handful of British traders, who came to India for trading purpose, finally became the rulers of the collective destiny of the indigenous populace, itself speaks volume about the fragility of the Hindu society. Worse still, the digression from the mainstream teachings of Bhagvad Gita, which would have inspired the kings and the subjects, alike, too was relegated to the back burner. The abject dereliction of duty of various kings, especially Prithviraj Chauhan, when he was asked to chase his wounded enemy, Mohammed Ghori, which resulted in his legendary humiliation later, is the exemplification of how Hindu kings, taking the principled recourse to ideals and deep conviction, had lost the series of wars. Added to this, has been no dearth of Jaichands, among Hindus, in every age and era. While Dahir, like a lion, had persevered to safeguard the province of Sindh from Afghan invaders, chased the marauders away as many times as he could. However, he too fell casualty to the legendary betrayals of his own ministers and generals. What could be graver tragedy than this: while Maharana Pratap was soulfully fighting against Akbar, another Rajput, Mansingh was working as Akbar’s general.

 Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the former Prime Minister of India, in course of his historic speech on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Veer Savarkar, had ruefully observed, ‘ The battle of Panipat was being fought, the nation’s fate was destined to be decided, yet those standing outside the ground of the battle of Plassey had far outnumbered those who were fighting the decisive war’. How with 18 horsemen, Bakhtiyar Khalji had destroyed the entire Nalanda, burnt the precious books, killed thousands of soldiers. Nonetheless, India, in the wake of independence, especially in the context of the bifurcation of India into two parts: India and Islamic Islamic Pakistan, had so irrationally took a suicidal step: Making India a secular republic. In other words, a no man’s land. Regrettably, no precaution was taken to safeguard the long term interest of Hindus, in fact, the conspiracy was hatched, albeit at a gargantuan scale to deprive Hindus of their motherland yet again.

The power, in the wake of immediate independence, went into the hands of all those who were liberals,  educated and trained in the Macaulay’s school of thought, they never pondered the fate of the posterity, they seldom contemplated that, Muslims, who have been allowed to live, and given their tendency to procreate, will soon emerge as the competitor not only for competing with the scarce resources but also as the legitimate claimants for seeking India as their country. Barely 7 percent of Muslims then, have threateningly risen to almost 20 percent, is the biggest impending threat for the nation. Reprehensibly enough, Sonia Gandhi’s sheer naivete, as was amply explicit when she had warned Narendra Modi that his digression from the spurious path of secularism, would inevitably invite retribution from her. Thankfully, Hindus have shown her that her party is a spent force, all her camouflage of secularism, in the guise of promoting her own son, Rahul Gandhi as the unwanted leader in the party, has few takers outside her own party, even though she may manipulate her ways into foisting her son yet again as the president of Congress Party, which as the Bihar Assembly election is any indication, time is ripe when the nation should write the obituary of the grand old party.

Significantly, the rise of Owaisi is another big danger for Hindus today, for the time is not far off when the entire Muslims who are seeking a pan India Muslim party will stand solidly behind him. Thus, it is only the matter of time when Owaisi, like another Jinnah, will further fragmentation of India. Muslim fanatics, who are visualising their dream of converting India into a Gazwa e Hind, are sure to rally behind their messiah. The bagging of five seats by Owaisi’s party, in the recently concluded Bihar election, is the vindication of the things to come in the future. Importantly, 100 crores of Hindus are the soft targets of both Christians and Muslims in the coming years.
