The ‘Hindu Rashtra’ : Nation for the welfare of the world !

Lokmanya Tilak had said – ‘Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it’. On the same lines, it is now time to proclaim that ‘Surajya (Good governance) and Susanskrit Rashtra (A civilized Nation, meaning, the ‘Hindu Rashtra’) are our birthrights, and we shall have them’ ! – Sachchidananda Parabrahman (Dr) Jayant Athavale

‘Hindu Rashtra’. This is our identity. It is the emotion that drives us. ‘Hindu Rashtra’ is not a narrow-minded concept that denotes a geographical boundary. It includes the culture, civilisation, tradition, history, religion, literature, art, and politics of the people of this Nation.

‘Hindu Rashtra’ is not merely a religious or political concept. It is an ideal socio-religious-economic system. Honesty, efficiency and justice are the hallmarks of the ‘Hindu Rashtra’. This is the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ we envision. Achieving this goal will not be a small feat, and will require the wholehearted participation of Hindus everywhere.

Why ‘Hindu Rashtra’ ?

For centuries, our Nation & Dharma have been under continuous onslaughts of external and internal adharmik (Unrighteous) forces. These onslaughts have manifested in religious-intellectual-cultural-economic bankruptcy of a Nation that once was the ‘Vishwa Guru’.

Our Nation has unmatched worldly and spiritual eminence due to the Dharmik tenets followed since time immemorial. Yet, today’s pitiable state is because we have alienated ourselves from our Dharmik roots. This has robbed us of the necessary spiritual and physical strengths required to repulse this onslaught.

The ‘Hindu Rashtra’ will have a Dharma-driven socio-religious system that will emancipate every living being. The importance of emancipation can be understood from the word Hindu – ‘Hindu’ is one who seeks to liberate himself from baser instincts and turn towards sattvikata (Spiritual purity), and in turn, Anand (Bliss). So, a Nation with an atmosphere conducive to such an endeavour will benefit not just the Hindus, but every citizen of the Nation, and in turn, of the world.

What will be the characteristics of the rulers in the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ ?

The rulers in ‘Hindu Rashtra’ will abide by Dharma, they will be sattvik, strive for the welfare of their subjects, will be selfless and paternal. They will make every effort to ensure that their subjects too abide by Dharma. People will elect only suitable representatives to rule the Nation. State level decisions will be taken by judging their relevance and needs and not through majority votes. The process will have transparency.

What will happen to minorities in the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ ?

Whenever the subject of ‘Hindu Rashtra’ arises, the so-called secularists ask a useless question – ‘What will be the fate of minorities in the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ ?’ Actually, minorities should have been disturbed by this question; however, they are not. They keep proclaiming, “We took over Pakistan with a smile, we shall take over Hindustan through force”. Of course, this question too has an apt answer. In the impending ‘Hindu Rashtra’, not just minorities, but every sect will be treated in the same way as they were treated during Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s rule. With the rising of the Sun, darkness and foul odour get dispelled automatically. No one tells the darkness or foul odour that the Sun is rising, so dissolve. Similarly, darkness and foul odour in the form of various problems will get eliminated with the advent of the ‘Hindu Rashtra’. All problems India faces currently will be solved by pious rulers, and all citizens will become happy because of righteous conduct.

Can establishment of the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ preserve the culture of Bharat and drive out western influence ?

Western practices have had widespread effect on the overall behaviour, thoughts, diet, hairstyle, clothing, fashion, etc. of Hindus. As a result, the extent of immoral behaviour, addictions, unrighteous conducts, etc. in the Hindu society are on the rise. Rulers of all political parties do not have pride in Hindu culture. Cultural conversion of Hindus is the zenith of this lack of pride. Culture is the true character of a Nation. Hindu culture is Sattva predominant; hence, it makes the Nation righteous and ideal. On the other hand, the western culture and lifestyle is Raja-Tama predominant; hence, it makes a citizen, and in turn the Nation, unrighteous. Therefore, it is in their own interest that citizens distance themselves from western practices. Such acts of Bharatiyas tantamount to journeying back to cultural slavery. With the introduction of Spirituality and Dharma in school curriculums, this trend will change and Hindu culture will be re-established.

Why is it important to unite all Hindus and Hindu organisations to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ ?

The highest common objective of all Hindu organisations all over Bharat has been to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’.

Further, the daily activities of all Hindu organisations have been directed towards the welfare of the society, Nation and Dharma. Despite this common objective, achieving the goal looked like a distant proposition. The only reason for this was the lack of unity among Hindus and Hindu organisations.

Therefore, no one was able to see the manifestation of the strength of unity in Hindutva. If all Hindu organisations unite and strive towards this common goal, the dream of ‘Hindu Rashtra’ can soon turn into a reality. So, do the following now :

• Sponsor & distribute pamphlets on topics related to preserving national & Dharmik interests
• Organise lectures to educate your family and friends on Dharma
• Donate to organisations working to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’

Onslaughts have manifested in religious-intellectual-cultural bankruptcy of a Nation that once was the ‘Vishwa Guru’ !
