Hindutva is a threat to India!

by Debal Dev Basu

Let us discuss that now:

1. The Hindutva extremists were unable to save 600 million Hindus from slaughter by the Muslims over a span of 800 years.
2. The Hindutva extremists were unable to save the demolition of 40,000 Hindu Temples from the hands of the Islamic invaders.
3. The Hindutva extremists were unable to stop the forced conversion of millions of Hindus.
4. The Hindutva extremists were unable to save the Hindus from the hands of all invaders and unable to save the invasion of India from the Portuguese, French and British Christians, and Muslims.
5. The Hindutva extremists were unable to stop the partition that was voted in by the secular Muslims of India in 1947.
6. The Hindutva extremists were unable to defend the ethnic cleansing of millions of Kashmiri Hindus since the 13th Century.
7. The Hindutva extremists were unable to stop the ethnic cleansing of the Hindus from Bangladesh and Pakistan.
8. The Hindutva extremists never invaded other countries, bombed non-Hindus, never forcefully converted non-Hindus into Hinduism, never demolished shrines and places of religious worship of non-Hindus.
9. The Hindutva extremists never slaughtered non-Hindus for not accepting the Bhagavad Gita, the Vedas, and for the sake of establishing Hinduism.

Then how exactly a Hindu is a Hindutvadi an extremist?

1. The Hindus become Hindutva extremists for Protecting their culture, the rituals, the traditions, and the customs of India.
2. The Hindus become Hindutva extremists for following the truly peaceful belief system of Hinduism.
3. The Hindus become Hindutva extremists for fighting for the equal rights of Hindus.
4. The Hindus become Hindutva extremists for defending Hinduism.
5. The Hindus become Hindutva extremists for retaliating in self-defence against the enemies of Hinduism, which the constitutional government failed to do even though it is the government’s duty.

The true history of Hindutva:

1. When Zoroastrians were persecuted by the Jihadis, the Hindutva extremists gave them refuge.
2. When communist China started persecution of the Buddhists, the Hindutva extremists gave them refuge.
3. When the so-called “liberal” world was persecuting the Jews, the Hindutva extremists gave them refuge.

We have tolerated much.

Now, is it not just and fair if we retaliate in self-defence, within the constitutional framework and within the limits of natural justice, against whoever it is that is destroying Dharma and our civilization?

No matter what the enemies of Hinduism rant, Hindutva is not the Hindu version of ISIS. Constitutional and lawful self-defence is not Jihad of the ISIS.

This time we will not wait for Karma to pay off.

This time we will morally and legally fight for our Dharma.
