The India I Know and of Hinduism

From a South Indian Woman Writer

Beschreibung

Liberals in India appear to think that it is their birth right to bash the Hindus. Liberalism only entails criticising the majorities not to touch minorities remotely. It goes without saying that Indian minorities, most of them, were Hindus once upon a timeOnce a Hindu gets converted, he becomes a minority. Whatever special privileges the minorities have will apply to him! The minorities have their personal laws, educational institutions, rights to promote, and propagate their religion, to uplift their language, to keep up their identity. The other countries recognise minorities on ethnicity. Attacking majorities in India is easier than anywhere in the world. For the successive governments of the Congress have weakened and made them emasculated and incapable of intellectually defending themselves. The baiting of Hindu majorities of India is continually being done in other western countries also by our Indian diehard leftists, extreme secularists, and the academic fringe to the amusement of the intellectuals of those countries. The type calumny they have been doing against Hindus, no civilized person on earth could ever do. About them, the less said, the better! However, in India Hinduism still persists in its pristine form for two reasons. One, basically Indians are religious, and the other, an organisation like the RSS works for the cause. There is one cautionsome media groups have been consistently trying to bring all and sundry so-called Hindu groups into one umbrella and whatever havoc they cause on Hindu name, they are covering the rot with a nomenclature of Hindu or saffron terror. They are promoting a dubious brand name, in all these cases. In any case, the miscreants should be booked as per the law of the land and punished. When terrorism has no religion, so also the criminality.

Indira Garimella, M. A; M. Phil (in English) and a Masters degree holder in Education, worked as Post Graduate Teacher(PGT) in English in quasi-Government Residential Educational Institutions in Hyderabad, Telangana. She has a flair for writing. She authored and co-ordinated some of the textbooks for High School students in Andhra Pradesh (united). She has been airing her views in the English newspapers on political and social issues for more than two decades. She is active on social media too. After writing since a long time on contemporary matters, this book is her maiden attempt to publish her own mind-map and how it led to several revelations. She points out that Ram Janmabhoomi Vs Babri Mosque is an issue of Indian Secular Constitution & Law Vs Indian Culture. Basically, Indians of different religious communities follow their cultures in their own personal lives on which the law has no reach. However, Ayodhya-temple building, throws up challenge to the secularism of India. She writes about Arun Shourie, the columnist and Ram Madhav, the Pracharak and organising secretary of Pragna Bharati, NGO, Hyderabad, working with them and their influence on her extensively in two chapters. She being nave at that time in 1990s, her expression of feelings is interesting to read. She reproduces the discussions held sometime ago on religious conversions, importance of the Vedas and ancient Indian knowledge, how secularism in India is distorted, on Hindutva and Feminism in Bharatiya perspective. And also, some still relevant topics of politics like Uniform Civil Code, J&K, Cow-protection, Swadeshi. Freedom of Speech, Liberal values, Nationalism, Media (mainstream and social) and Truth -how they have to be expressed, are a part of her learning and presentation. It is amusing that these realisations are her wisdom after being a housewife and hands-on mother to her children for a decade and later after taking up the job.
