The Concept of India a Hindustan continues...
I am also not advocating that Hindus and the followers of other religions must confront each other, and not interact or dialogue on any issue. Far from it, I advocate vibrant debate and discussion on most religious issues, but not on those issues which will erode or undermine the Hindu foundation of India. On the question of religious conversion, it should now be treated as a closed chapter. Hindus true to their legacy will not permit it. Either, true Hindus will prevail, or India will be deformed and twisted; and ultimately, like Greece and Egypt, it will be transformed beyond recognition. India as the world has known it and admired it, would then be destroyed forever. Hence, instead Hindus must remain steadfast and carry the ‘war’ to the camps of the Christian missionaries and Muslims mullahs of India and make the Christians and Muslims see how they too can take pride in their great Hindu ancestry, and that they can be welcomed back to the Hindu fold. A Russian scholar, Alexander Zinoviev, of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, recently published an article in the Organiser, that was titled: “For India’s Survival Hinduism has to Prevail”. In it he states:
“….during the Renaissance, Western Europeans realized that they were successors of ancient Rome and Greece, and embraced their culture which for long centuries was being condemned by the Roman Catholic Church as “pagan” and “non-Christian”, [hence] one day the Muslims on the Indian sub-continent will understand that they are inheritors of a great civilisation completely different from that of Arabs and the Middle East. This is a problem of education and knowledge”
Of course before we can motivate and persuade the Indian Christian and Muslims to accept that their ancestors are Hindus and that because of this fact they have the option of returning to Hinduism, we Hindus have to set our house in order. Over the centuries since Adi Shankaracharya, the Hindu religion has not undergone a renaissance.
