Special Column
The sacrifice by the soldiers and generals for the Hindavi Swarajya as envisaged by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is supreme. Similarly, in the present times, many devout Hindus and patriotic citizens of this country have been striving to protect the Nation and Dharma. The ‘Warriors of Hindutva’ is a series of articles that sheds light on their life and their struggle to protect Hindu Dharma. We hope that it serves as a catalyst for the mission of establishing Hindu Rashtra and inspires many others. – Editor

Some candid statements by Dr S R Leela
A. The communist ideology is a threat to the Nation
Thanks to the adverse impact of the (negative) communist ideology, the Nation has witnessed some brutal massacres. Individuals influenced by Karl Marx’s- ‘Communist Manifesto’ introduced the deadly Communism to India. Make no mistake – the Communist ideology is a threat to our Nation.
The communist wave withered away in the 1980s (from many countries in the world). Even Russia got rid of Communism. Even though China has adopted political communism, it has preserved its culture. The communist ideology is diametrically opposite to India’s cultural ethos.
B. The teaching of the Ramayan
Aggression is the innate nature of Muslims. Hence, it would be naive to assume they would coexist with Hindus and others peacefully. Even Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar had clearly stated – ‘If India were divided into two halves, 100% of the Muslims should go to Pakistan while only Hindus should remain in Hindustan.’ We should treat others well only if they treat us the same way. Ramayan unequivocally advocates protecting the righteous from the evildoers.
C. It is crucial to study the writings of Veer Savarkar from the perspective of Hindus
Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar was a great personality and a visionary. He belonged to the era of the Indian freedom struggle, and he achieved many great things in those difficult times. In addition, he was a great historian.
India was subject to many foreign invasions. It was a dark period of cruelty and brutality. The foreign invaders were barbaric and the people in India suffered greatly. When history iswritten, it covers the perspectives of the victorious. Naturally, the foreign invaders created a false and biased historical manuscript. Hence, Veer Savarkar authored many books and wrote various articles to counter this false propaganda. Hence, it is pivotal to study his books.
D. The fight against false narratives
‘Narrative’ is the latest buzzword. It is a modern-era foreign word. For every kind of eccentricity, perversity, or psychological disorder, words get coined in English. Narratives are deadly weapons that make people believe false thoughts, perverse perspectives, dialogues, and speeches. A narrative is a figment of imagination and gets created on purpose. Intelligent people create such narratives, and their ecosystem helps spread the propaganda). Such false narratives snowball into a buzzword and succeed in creating self-doubt and confusion. People slowly consider such false narratives to be the truth. These liars create the illusion of truth as they tell the same lies again and again. If devout Hindus and staunch Nationalists do not oppose such narratives vehemently by exposing their inherent hatred and potential dangers, the Nation will undoubtedly be doomed to a catastrophic failure.
Dr S R Leela’s compliments for Sanatan Sanstha
Sanatan Sanstha’s contribution to the welfare and protection of Hindu Dharma is phenomenalI sincerely thank Sanatan Sanstha for its exceptionally commendable work. Sanatan Sanstha has been doing a lot of good work. When we look at it, what is this Sanatan Sanstha? Sanatan means eternal; hence, the Sanstha is working eternally (round-the-clock) to protect the eternal nature of Hindu Dharma. Sanatan is the Dharma of this country – of Bharat, of Hindustan. However, sadly, the number of people who respect Sanatan Dharma is relatively small. Even though many people identify themselves as followers of Sanatan Dharma, those who truly understand it, appreciate it, and revere it, are very few. Therefore, we must congratulate and be immensely grateful to those who have devoted their lives to the protection and growthof Sanatan Dharma and are making relentless efforts for the Holy cause. Today, many people blatantly attack Hindu Dharma. In such difficult times, Sanatan Sanstha has singularly taken up the responsibility of protecting Dharma and has devoted itself to this Holy cause. In reality, Sanatan Dharma is blessed with a profoundly beautiful philosophy. It not only informs you about your rights but makes you realise the duties that you mustfulfil. Sanatan Sanstha practises and preaches the same philosophy through its exemplaryconduct, publications, and seekers. Many Hindus contribute in their own capacity to the preservation and welfare of Sanatan Dharma. Hence, I genuinely believe that Sanatan Sanstha deserves our deep respect and wholehearted appreciation for its outstanding efforts in safeguarding and upholding Dharma. |
