INDIA’S SECULARISM NEW NAME FOR NATIONAL SUBVERSION Presentation based on a book by Sita Ram Goel
Rise and Development of Secularism
◻
◻
◻
In European countries after 4th & before 18th century their was a strong bond between Christian church & the State. The function of the State was not only to supervise & control the worldly (secular) life of its subject, but also to secure their salvation in the next world. It was the duty of the State to kill and burn alive the person who disregarded the rules of the Church.

After Europe became Christianized the kings were no more in need of the blessings from the Church in order to expand their power. In 16th century Church and Christianity got splintered into many sects. The state in one country, by aligning with one sect began to suppress other sects & the state in other country, by aligning with other sect began to suppress all others. And wars began to be fought on the name of religion

Fortunately, some thinkers were influenced by humanism, rationalism & universalism inherent in Pagan culture. They revolted against Christianity. State was liberated form the stranglehold of Christianity which came to known as Secular state. To seek and strive for salvation in the next world or not, became now the personal choice of each citizen.
French Revolution By the end of 18th century, along with the French Revolution, revolt against Christianity got accelerated.
Secularism in India
Islam had set its foot on the Hindu homeland in the second half of the 7th century. Since then Islam has victimized, tormented and terrorized the Hindu society.
Mohammed Ghuri 1160-1206 AD He renewed Islamic imperialism in India in the last quarter of the 12th century AD.
Taj-ul-Masir, Hasan Nizami
"In Benaras which is the centre of the country of Hind, they destroyed 1,000 temples & raised mosques on their foundations"
In 1194 AD Ghuri’s Lieutenant Qutubuddin Aibak destroyed 27 Hindu temples at Delhi & built the Quwwat-ulIslam mosque with their debris.
On his return to Ajmer, Aibak destroyed the Sanskrit college of Visladeva, and laid the foundations of a mosque which came to be known as Adhai Din KA
Adhai Din ka Jhonpara
◻
Islam and Christianity came to India with alien imperialism, and made unbridled use of state power for several 100 years.
◻
On the other hand, Hindu society never used the State power for spreading faith.
◻
The right use of Secularism would have been to unmask Islam & Christianity and liberate the communities which had been their victims.
But what actually happened in India after independence was just the opposite.
◻
The mullahs & missionaries who had exhibited ceaseless hostility to India’s ancient culture began to speak that majority Hindu society poses great threat to minority culture of Islam & Christianity.
◻
The Muslims & Christians were given complete freedom to propagate and spread their creeds to the best of their capacity.
The Partition - Punjab, 1947 Hardly 50 years have passed & Islam have again started speaking the same language which they had used before the partition of India
Evil consequences of Secularism
◻
By clamoring in the name of distinctive culture of Islam & special rights of the minorities, they began to raise the same demands because of which the country had partitioned.
◻
Christian missionaries began to extend their network all over the country.
Pt. Jawahar lal Nehru The policy of Secularism proclaimed by pt. Nehru was full of animosity towards the Hindu society and culture.
M.K. Gandhi Mahatma Gandhi’s mindless slogan of sarva-dharmasambhava was proving to be effective disguise for Christian missions to steal a march against Hinduism.
Hindu society has been on the defensive since 1920 when Congress took up the cause of Khilafat.
This has happened because Hindus in their ignorance have recognized Islam and Christianity as Dharmas.
TWO TRADITIONS OF WORSHIP Advaita and Monotheism
Advaita ◻
Sects of Sanatan Dharma ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜
Jaina Bauddha Shaiva Vaishnava Shakta Saurya Ganapatya
Monotheism ◻
Abrahamic religions ⬜ ⬜ ⬜
Christianity Judaism Islam
Tradition of Advaita ◻
In the long history of this tradition, not a single instance of spread of faith by use of force is available. ⬜
The spread of Buddhism is noteworthy. ■
■
■
In the spread of this Dharma not a single soldier ever played any role. The monks of the Dharma Sangha alone carried the faith far and wide. In the countries where Buddhism spread, it never came into conflict with the ancient modes of worship of those country.
Monotheism ◻
The whole history of the spread of Monotheism is the history of the use of force in various ways. ⬜
The expansion of Christianity & Islam took place only through the use of armed force or economic power. ■ ■
They destroyed religious place of others. They slaughtered in cold blood the defeated warriors of other faiths, enslaved and sold their innocent families in far-off lands and plundered all their properties.
Destruction of Temples Monotheism destroyed religious places of other faiths, broke the sacred images of Gods, killed their priests & dishonored them and made uniting effort to destroy their
Forceful Conversion Monotheists converted the followers of other faiths at the point of sword or by tempting them with money or privilege or by humiliating them.
They state quite clearly that the use of force is sanctioned by their “religion”. On the other hand, in the tradition of Advaita, there is no provision for use of force for spreading faith.
Advaita Spirituality versus Fundamentals of Monotheism
The first proposition visible in school of Advaita is polytheism. Tulsidas: “hari ananta harikatha ananta” (god is infinite, so also the narratives in his praise)
Polytheism ◻
The same god can be worshipped in various ways.
◻
Gods are worshipped in countless forms like human-male, human- female, birds, animals, rivers, mountains, stones, trees etc.. There is a provision for worship of formless which is beyond all forms.
◻
The truth is eternal and impersonal. Any seeker who searches for truth in any place or at any time, finds it in full.
Polytheism Worshiping animals
According to monotheism, there is only one creator & controller of cosmos, who does not manifest himself in different forms, and who does not permit worship of any other god or goddess.
Fundamentals of Monotheism ◻
◻
◻
One God has created the Cosmos without the aid of any substance. So he remains outside of his own creation. The human male is the highest creation of one god. Other creation of god including women have been created merely for enjoyment by humans male. Man gets only one life and it is an unpardonable sin for man to fancy that he shares even an iota of God’s divinity.
Advaita philosophy believes in vasudhaiva kutumbakam, that is, the whole humanity is a single family. On the other hand Monotheism divides humanity in two groups of believes & non-believers, Christians & heathens, Muslims & kafirs, or people of God & people of devil.

The Blunders committed by Hindu society
◻ ◻
The blunder is to recognize Islam as Dharma. Slaughter of defeated armies after they have surrendered, public auction abroad of thousands of men & women & children, mass rape of helpless women, destruction of temples, burning of sacred books of dharma, plunder of all kind of property, breaking of idols of gods- all these doings of Islamized Arabs have been applauded by Muslim theologians & historians and proclaimed as the great triumph of Islam.
◻ A majority of the Muslims were Hindu converts who had been forced into the folds of Islam. Hindu society closed its doors to them. ◻ Some so-called saints of Islam came and settled in northern India and they were given land by Hindu Rajas to build mosques & khanqaahs ◻ None of Hindu saints could see that the Kalimah- there is no god but Allah & Muhammad is his last prophet- could emanate only from a beastly rather than a religious consciousness.
Buddhas of Bamyan Nader Shah fired cannon at the statues.
Buddhas of Bamyan, statue being destroyed with dynamite, March21, 2001 "Muslims should be proud of smashing idols. It has given praise to God that we have destroyed them.“ On March 6, 2001 The Times quoted Mullah Mohammed Omar
Schools of Islam ◻
Islamic law has four schools ⬜ ⬜ ⬜ ⬜
◻
◻
Hanbali Maliki Shafii Hanafi
According to Hanbali, Maliki and Shafii Hindus are not the people of book like Christians & Jews and they had either to become Muslims or had to be killed. Only Hanafi schools held that Hindus could be accepted as People of Book and made Zimmis.
Disabilities imposed on Zimmis ◻
◻
◻ ◻
◻
◻
They can not build new idol temples and will not repair any disrepair existing temples. Muslim travelers will be provided special hospitality by Zimmis in their own houses. Zimmis will respect Muslims. They will not ride horses with saddle and bridle and will not posses swords, bows or arrows. They will not openly practice their tradition amongst Muslims. They will not mourn their dead loudly.
Amir Khusrau The extension of the Hanafi law to the Hindus, made him greatly enraged.
Amir Khusrao “The heroism of our holy warriors has saturated the whole country with streams (of blood) flowing from the sword (of Islam)... The mighty warriors of Hind have been trampled under foot... If the Hanafi code of law had not saved the Hindus from death by levying Jizyah, they would have been annihilated root & branch.”
Islam claims that it stands for a casteless society while Hinduism stands for caste hierarchy.
◻
Muslims in India have always divided their own society into 3 separate sections. ⬜
⬜
⬜
Ashraf- The descendents of the Turks, the Arabs and the Persians. It is a plural of sharif, which means the noble one. Ajlaf- the converts from the higher Hindu caste like the Brahmins & Rajputs. Arzal- the converts from the lower Hindu caste. It is the plural of Razil, which means the ignoble.
If Hindu society wants to survive, it would have to proclaim loud and clear some basic principles.
◻

◻
The society which is known as Hindu society at present, is the national society of India. Indian culture as nourished by the Sanatana Dharma and flourishing through many schools and sects, is the national culture of India. The history of the Hindu society, is the history of India. India is one indivisible whole.
The imperialists of Islam & Christianity have disappeared from this country, and, therefore, there remains no place in this country for Islam &Christianity.
The Communities which have been crystallized in India as a result the imperialistic expansion of Islam & Christianity, are our own people & will have to be brought back into the national society
The Hindu society is now ready to hear that Islam is not a dharma but a totalitarian and imp realistic dogma.
