“Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was a great Emperor. However, Hinduphobic historians challenged the greatness of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and belittled him by referring to him as an ordinary Maratha warrior.
The Hinduphobic historians have deliberately presented our past in a distorted manner to suit their anti-Hindu narrative and glorified the Mughal invaders as the saviours of our Nation. Post-Independence, Hindus were constantly fed with a barrage of misinformation (read anti-Hindu lies).
Even today, a broader anti-Hindu narrative is at play that aims to create confusion, division and a sense of inferiority complex amongst Hindus to weaken them even further. It is high time for Hindus to recognise this anti-Hindu narrative that challenges our ethos and culture. Hindus should call out such false anti-Hindu narratives and strongly counter them with facts and figures”, said Mr Uday Mahurkar (Founder of Save Culture Save Bharat Foundation, New Delhi), an Author, a Historian and Former Information Commissioner, Government of India.
He was addressing a Press Conference on the 4th day of the ‘Vaishvik Hindu Rashtra Mahotsav’ held at the Shri Vidyadhiraj Hall in Ponda (Goa).
Talking about the anti-Hindu narrative, Mr Mahurkar further said that Hindus have to learn to win the battle of narrative. Hindus have always been losing the battle of narratives due to their moderate nature, as well as their lack of vindictiveness. This had been the case since Independence.
Before the Gujarat riots in 2002, 59 Hindus were killed in the Sabarmati Express train at Godhra; however, Communist and Islamic strategists claimed that Narendra Modi, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the BJP orchestrated the act to create an anti-Muslim wave.
In fact, only after the verdict of the Gujarat High Court it came to the fore that the Muslim mob burnt those railway coaches.
