But some political parties, in reckless disregard of equity and history, have sold out then national interest for bloc votes: by advocating for such a reservation proposal. In such a situation the Nation’s independence and sovereignity slides into danger of being subverted and then rendered impotent. This has happened before in our history,—not when the nation was poor but when it was one of the richest countries in the world. India then was ahead in science, mathematics, art and architecture. And yet because the moral fibre weakened, all was lost. We had to struggle hard to recover our freedom. But by the time we did, we had lost all our wealth and dropped near to the bottom of the list of countries, listed according to level of poverty.
In this time of creeping darkness in our society, there are still venerated souls who draw crowds of people, who come at their own expense to hear such evolved souls and follow them. These are our dharmacharyas, many of whom should constitute a Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha. Just as Rishi Vishwamitra picked his archers and hunters to put an end to asuras and rakshasas, in the same way I urge and implore this Sabha to pick a political instrument to cleanse the body politic of the nation. It cannot be done without Hindu unity in our democracy, and hence formulating a code of ethics and moral principles is essential for creating a meaningful and purposeful Hindu unity. The nation looks to all dharma acharyas, for guidance in this hour of need.
But first and foremost is the need for the undiluted unity of Hindus, a unity based on a mindset that is nurtured and fostered on the fundamentals of a renaissance. Only then can Hindus meet the challenge of Christian missionaries and Islamic fundamentalists. I can do no better here than quote Swami Dayananda Saraswati of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam:
“Faced with militant missionaries, Hinduism has to show that its plurality and all-encompassing acceptance are not signs of disparateness or disunity. For that, a collective voice is needed.”
