Contaminated Vision

Editorial

It is beyond the understanding of people how words like liberalism, equality, secularism are profusely used for Islam !

Administration is the backbone of a democratic system. Although we have elections every 5 years and the rulers change, the Administrative staff and officials remain the same. It is the Administration that implements the schemes outlined by the rulers. Therefore, it will not wrong to say that the country is governed by the Administration actually.

In the past few years, Hindus have been constantly struggling with Administrations everywhere. The reasons for this are coming to the fore in the past few years. Devout Hindu activists often experience the cunning gaze of Administrative officers and employees who are constantly harassing Hindus and siding with Christians, Islamists, etc. Why do these officials behave like this even though they are born Hindus ? This is a question mark always.

The answer is – these officials are being given flawed training while preparing for competitive exams before becoming Administrative officers ! Recently, a video was released by the training institute ‘Vision IAS’, which provides guidance to prospective candidates to prepare for Public Service Commission examinations, and it has come to light how anti-Hindu patterns are being spread there.

“Islam was liberal”, says Smriti Shah, a so-called ‘guide’ on Islam. “Equality is taught in Islam. Due to brotherhood and absence of conservatism in Islam, it was becoming the centre of attraction for everyone. At that time, people started accepting Islam on their own. At that time, the Bhakti Movement was started to show that Hindu Dharma is not very different from Islam”, this idea is the great discovery (?) of Smriti Shah herself.

What sort of a ‘Vision’ is this ?

Many videos of Smriti Shah and other guides of ‘Vision IAS’ are also coming out now. In these, we can see ridiculing of the traditions of Sabarimala Temple, lauding of the atrocities against Kashmiri Hindus, etc.

Even before this, investigation into the ideological jihadi terrorist Dr Zakir Naik’s ‘Zakat Foundation of India’ revealed a conspiracy to select Muslim students in the Administrative services.

On the one hand, conspiracies were hatched to select only Muslims for the Administrative services and on the other, to teach the abovementioned ‘theories’ even if a person from any other religion came into the Administration; then, he would be ideologically Islamic !

Where in Islam did they see the generosity and equality that Smriti Shah is talking about ? The history of Islam is full of anti-Hinduism and violence on every page. What is the proof that people were attracted to Islam on their own ? The history pages are filled with examples of Islamic conversions through the sword and its atrocities on women. How can Islam be ‘liberal’ when it allows a ruler to kill his own father for power ? What kind of a historian is Smriti Shah, who teaches such distorted and false history ?

Smriti Shah is a mathematics graduate, yet she teaches history ! Smriti Shah is a student of the same St Stephen’s College, where a devout Hindu Supreme Court Advocate J Saideepak’s programme faced strong opposition. It is not surprising that such people have deliberately manufactured and glorified standards that were never present in Islam and desecrated the faith of Hindus. ‘Vision IAS’ has issued clarification on this.

Even then, it is still beyond the understanding of an average individual how words such as liberalism, equality, secularism are profusely used, Hindus are humiliated, and it is claimed that the writers are ‘progressive’. This is why, gazetted officers, high-
income groups consciously adopt a secular stance. If such people are imparted such erroneous training, the anti-Hindutva feeling present among them will be further nourished.

If Smriti Shah wants to experience brotherhood and unity in Islam, that’s her choice. However, when she makes such statements, she should also provide evidence. However, what kind of brotherhood and unity is seen in Islam at a time when the Hijab issue is simmering all over the country ?

Education should be based on truth

The question is not so much about the persecution of Hindus and the glorification of Islam. If candidates being churned out by such institutes join the Administrative services with a hostile anti- Hindu mentality, tomorrow they will suffocate the Hindus who are narrating true history everywhere they go for work. In many places today, religious programmes of Hindus are being opposed, a lot of time is spent in getting permissions from the Police and Administration. Whatever role Hindus play in this period of social struggle, they have to face the wrath of the Administration. The reason is – the malevolent teaching imparted to people in the Administration. In fact, education should be based on truth.

If we teach the glorious history of India, the students who come after training will provide good governance. Needless to add, if the foundation of training is false and malevolent, disastrous governance is bound to be the outcome.

We cannot expect the ideals of ‘Hindavi Swarajya’ (Established by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj) being understood and practiced by such spiteful trainees if they follow the example of Islamic aggressors while discharging their duties.

The ancient history of the majority community is not distorted in any country in the world. People in every country are taught and inspired to make the future of their country brighter by repeatedly expressing how noble is the ancient heritage of their country. India is the only country where its citizens get to hear how ordinary our country was and invaders were great.

Even those who attempt competitive exams are not too young to believe their teachers blindly. It is such students who will help prevent such malpractices by rebutting this spiteful mentality at that time and expose the associated people !
