CURRENT HINDU HISTORY IS CONCOCTED AND MANUFACTURED WITHIN INDIA BY
THE LEFT ELITE. (Francois Gautier)
In three to four years Pakistani army will be completely talibanized
and will attack India . That will be the time to wipe out Pakistan
from the world map. (Dr. Subramanian Swamy)
It is a privilege to be born as a Hindu. (Francois Gautier)
it is incomprehensible to fathom as to why Muslims and Christians who
have been the ruling class in India for more than one thousand years
should be given the "first right on national resources".
Report on Hindu Unity Day 2009 in New York
Reported by Narain Kataria and Sri Sidhwani from New York
Braving inclement weather, traffic problems and parking difficulties
about 1,000 Hindus wholeheartedly and enthusiastically participated in
the 15th Annual Hindu Unity Day celebration Sunday, August 2, 2009 at
Hindu Temple Auditorium in New York. Many of them came from
Pennsylvania , Maryland , Massachusetts , Connecticut and New Jersey .
Many of them travelled 200-300 miles.
Dr. Subramanian Swamy, , Francois Gautier and a prominent Veer Raas
Kavi Gajender Solanki, from India thrilled the audience with their
superb oratory/poetry.
Dr. Subramanian Swamy, former Law Minister, Govt. of India and
President of Janata Party has been guiding Hindu movement in this
country for a very long time.
Criticizing the present Manmohan Singh government on the unfair
treatment of Hindus in India, Dr. Subramanian Swami said, it was
incomprehensible to fathom as to why Muslims and Christians who have
been the ruling class in India for more than one thousand years should
be given the "first right on national resources". For them the
government offers subsidies to visit their religious places, but for
Hindus there is no such subsidy.
Additionally, Dr. Swamy said the events like "Hindu Unity Day" are
important in our life because there is identity crisis among the
Hindus. We Hindus must dispel this crisis and proudly proclaim
Hindutva to be our true identity. Let us on this principle of
Hindutva form a new Brihad Virat Akhand Hindustan with the ideology of
Integral Humanism.
Dr. Swamy also quoted Savarkar on the issue of "our shared and common
ancestry" while lauded Swami Vivekananda for "absolute compassion for
fellow Hindus." He expressed his disgust saying that despite Article
370, 500,000 Hindus have been driven out of Kashmir . They are still
languishing in filthy camps in Delhi and other cities in subhuman
condition.
He said that there are about 900 millions of Hindus all over the
world. One out of six people walking on the Earth is a Hindu. Hindus
by nature are peaceful, law abiding and secular people. However, it
is a matter of great regret that Hindus are not being treated with the
respect and dignity they deserve. The reason for this is that we are
not united on national and international level. Hence, he insisted on
the audience to take the following pledge:
· "I shall try my level best to restore dignity to Hinduism. I
will work for the unification and consolidation of Hindu Nation.
· I will volunteer, support and work for any
organization/association/temple that promotes Hindu cause.
· I will devote my time, energy, intellectual capability and
financial resources in the service of Brihad Virat Hindutva.
· I will try to learn Sanskrit and encourage my children and
grand children to do the same
· I will campaign against the dowry system, untouchability and
seek to eradicate them from Hindu society.
· I will stand up and be counted if any injustice and
humiliation is heaped on Hindus.
· I will try to learn about the real History of India .
· I will support our Hindu temples run by our community.
· I will support and back leaders who pledge to be supportive of
these Hindu interests. Hence, I will support with Tan (body) Man
(mind) and Dhan (wealth) anyone promoting Hindu causes.
Francois Gautier, prominent French journalist and author, who was
keynote speaker said that Hindu Civilization has deep and arguably the
longest continuous history of existence. But its children know very
little about her past. During Islamic period the civilizations North,
North-west, central, eastern and eventually even its southern reaches
were devastated. During that traumatic period Hindus suffered
incalculable damage and trauma. When Hindus' internal struggles
against this foreign tormentor were about to succeed the country faced
another foreign threat and was colonized by the European colonizers.
The European colonizers changed the medium of our literary language
and alienated us from our internal narration, our own story and in
turn with our world view. In the process they usurped from us the
right to narrate our own story and our world view. They became the
experts on our story and we became the receivers of that fable. In the
process we looked at them as the experts of our history. They
mutilated and created for us a story that was entirely alien to us.
Their motivation was to serve their ends of colonization and create
internal conflicts among us. A divided home could never muster enough
strength so as to stand on its own.
After independence our native leadership, educated in the western
schools of the then prevalent European thought, took over the reigns
of our country. Most of this leadership had no education and
understanding of our past and civilization. They could only understand
it through the language of our colonizers. They continued to impose
the colonial education system, colonial legal system and the colonial
world view on us. They had believed all that colonizer had written,
and they ruled us with those colored glasses. Hindu never got to tell
his own story as to what happened to them; and never got to
communicate Hindu world view. Our voices have been trapped well within
us by our own.
Current Hindu History is concocted and manufactured within India by
the Left elite who rule the corridors of power. They have this strange
notion that real history will offend those of us who for historical
reasons aligned themselves and adopted the ethos of the invaders. They
think that they can create the new edifice of modern and free India on
the foundations of concoctions and lies. Even though the ruins and
remains of that past, they want to lie about, is for every one to see
around the nation and passed through folk stories. New edifices can
not be erected on the foundations of concoctions and lies. Hence it
becomes imperative for those of us, who care about India's
civilization, that they strive to bring forth their story in their own
narration.
It is worthwhile to mention here that Francois and FACT-USA Directors
were successful to get a resolution passed in US Congress. Francois
continues on with development of the exhibition on Bangladeshi Hindu
genocide, Aurangzeb's iconoclasm. He is currently developing a Museum
of Hindu History particularly under the Islamic and Colonial period.
Even after encountering numerous obstacles put forth by the Govt. of
India and the usual culprits, he is on his way to establish this
Museum. He is currently creating a Hindu Holocaust Museum in India .
Dr. Uma Mysorekar, President of Hindu Temple Society of North American
and renowned Hindu leader in New York said that temples are the
foundation of our culture. Hence it is necessary that we should
support temple managements all over the country. Dr. Mysorekar
deprecated the penchant among some Indian Americans for taking
Western names or shortening their names.
Earlier welcoming Francoi Gautier, Narain Kataria, President of Indian
American Intellectuals Form (Forum) said that Hindus should develop
discernment and gumption to solve the problems with which Hindu
society is confronted. He admired the efforts of Dr. Subramanian
Swamy who has been organizing and mobilizing Hindus and spearheading
and guiding Hindu movement in this country.
Enclosed herewith also please find the copy of the resolutions which
had been passed and made part of the souvenir which was distributed to
all:
" India " is the garbled English rendering of Hindustan . Hence
'Bharat' to be declared ' Hindustan ' to signal the end of a
systematic undermining of Hindu Sanatan Dharma or Hindu.
THAT all anti-Hindu provisions of the Constitution such as Article 370
and Article 30 to be abrogated. Uniform Civil Code should b
introduced, so that each citizen is treated equally – one nation – one
law – like any other secular nation.
THAT management of Hindu temples presently in the hands of Government
of India, must be returned to the representatives body of Hindus such
as the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha.
THAT half a million Hindus of Kashmir who were brutally chased are
still scattered in filthy refuge camps have to be resettled back with
full dignity and protection in their own land. The Government of
India should arm one million ex-servicemen to first go and settle in
Kashmir Valley to restore the demographic composition of pre-1953
period.
That the abominable act of conversion by foreign missionaries, a relic
of colonialism, which is in fact "buying souls" at bargain basement
price, is practiced not in Muslim countries of Bangladesh and
Pakistan, but in India . This attests to Hindus being under siege.
Mr. Arish Sahani, Vice President of the Forum proposed a vote of
thank. The program was compered by Ms. Rene Lobo, Director of
Community News at ITV.
Mr. Rabinder Koul also contributed to this report.
