The fight against False Narratives – Part 2
A narrative is a figment of imagination and gets created on purpose. Self-declared intellectuals create such narratives, and their ecosystem helps spread the word (false propaganda). Such false narratives snowball into a buzzword and succeed in creating self-doubt and confusion. People slowly consider such false narratives to be the truth. These liars create the illusion of truth as they tell the same lies again and again. If devout Hindus and staunch Nationalists do not oppose such narratives vehemently by exposing their inherent hatred and potential dangers, the Nation will undoubtedly be doomed to a catastrophic failure.
1I. The BJP works towards the welfare of Hindus
Fact : From 1947 to 2014, the BJP could not win a majority on its own; hence, it could only form a coalition Government at best. The Vajpayee Government worked towards the welfare of not only Hindus but the whole of Indian society. In 2014, people voted the Narendra Modi-led BJP to power with an absolute majority.
There is one stark difference between Narendra Modi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee – PM Narendra Modi publicly proclaimed that he was a ‘Hindu Nationalist’. Till then, no national political leader dared to carry his Hindu identity with pride. Such was the terror instilled by the seven decades of Congress rule. The Congress party (psychologically and otherwise) suppressed Hindus, and they lived in a shadow of terror. PM Narendra Modi did not make any special provisions exclusively for Hindus. He did not repeal the provisions that benefit the Muslim community. Modi worked for the welfare of every Indian citizen. He granted scholarships worth Rs 5 crores to poor Muslim students but did not grant anything to Hindus. However, he instilled pride in the hitherto suppressed Hindu community in India.
To date, the BJP Government has not done anything substantial for the welfare of Hindus in India. Whenever it introduces any welfare scheme for Indian society, Muslims always emerge as the biggest beneficiaries, and there is a reason for such collective behaviour of Muslims. Hindus never take to the streets for their rights or any discrimination in welfare schemes against them based on religion. Moreover, the Government does not do anything proactively for Hindus. It has led to a deadlock. It has given rise to a defeatist sentiment that things will never improve.
1J. Hindus are inherently violent and full of hatred
Fact : Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi is full of hatred for Hindus and Hindu Dharma. He is a complete psycho who suffers from Jihadi psychology. A cursory study of the 2000-year world history reveals who were the real oppressors and mass murderers. One can notice that the world suffered the most thanks to the Christian Crusades and the Islamic Jihadis, who killed millions and converted even more.
Only Hindus strive for the welfare of mankind and sacrifice their body, mind and soul for the Holy cause. Who spread the deadly coronavirus ? Who developed the vaccine, produced it on a mass scale, proactively helped the poor countries and showed the world the noble humanitarian path ? China could not contain the coronavirus to its borders, and the world witnessed the worst epidemic in recent times. On the other hand, India emerged as the saviour of the world when it supplied the necessary vaccines to many countries, rich and poor. Indian vaccines won the war against the deadly Chinese virus. How could Rahul Gandhi forget this unprecedented global episode which boosted India’s image as the world leader ? Such undeserving people somehow manage to become the Leader of Opposition in Parliament. There is also a rising sentiment of ‘Hinduphobia’ in foreign countries.
Rahul Gandhi won the Lok Sabha seat from the Wayanad constituency. Wayanad is a Muslim-majority District in Kerala. There are tell-tale signs of an increase in Hinduphobia, denial of fundamental rights and dignified life to Hindus, hatred and overall destruction of Hindu lives and property. Anti-national and anti-Dharma elements have made an all-out effort to destabilise the political and social fabric of India. Alexander conquered India 2,400 years ago. Then, Indians accepted their defeat before a foreign enemy. However, the current enemy of the state is from within India. Hence, dealing with an internal adversary has become quite a task.
Hindus should be on their toes. In India, many are Hindus by birth; however, merely 20-30% of such Hindus are cognisant of the challenges before the Nation and Dharma.
1K. All religions are equal
Fact : ‘All religions are equal’ is one of the most dangerous narratives peddled by the anti-Dharma elements to mislead and confuse Hindus. There is no common definition that defines the fundamental tenets of all religions. All religions, except Sanatan Hindu Dharma, are based on the lives and teachings of individuals. One should note that Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism are not Dharmas but religions. Moreover, one can easily make out that religious conversion has become a widely popular business model in Islam and Christianity. However, indigenous religions like Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism do not exhibit such thirst to convert followers of other religions. Moreover, Sanatan Hindu Dharma is miles away from such a dirty concept.
Sanatan Hindu Dharma solely strives to provide the ultimate wisdom about one’s true nature to the masses – also called a spiritual awakening or enlightenment. Such a noble perspective is nothing but Dharma.
The Quran, the ultimate Holy Text of Islam, considers all non-Muslims as ‘Kafirs’ who should be subject to death and destruction. It is how the maulvis brainwash the students of madarasas from a very young age. Muslims offer namaz five times a day and publicly proclaim that Allah is the only God and there is no other God in this Universe. Thus, they openly defame and demean the Deities worshipped in other religions and consider them inferior to their Allah, the only God. How could one equate a monotheistic religion, which is based on hatred, jealousy, and contempt, with Sanatan Hindu Dharma, which strives for the ultimate welfare of the entire society ? Therefore, it is utterly foolish to say – ‘All religions are equal’.
2. Where did the BJP lose ?
The BJP accomplished an important National mission – the construction of a grand Shriram Temple at His birthplace in Ayodhya. It was not an easy journey. It took 500 years of relentless struggle that took close to 3,000 lives. The intense desire and relentless yearning of 20 generations came to fruition when a grand Shriram Temple was finally built. Every devout Hindu expressed gratitude to the BJP.
However, the BJP awarded the prestigious ‘Padma Bhushan’ to the UP CM and Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav, who ordered the State Police to open fire at thousands of innocent devotees, and hundreds lost their lives. Nripendra Misra was the Chief Secretary to the State Government when the State murdered the devotees. The BJP appointed him as the head of construction for the Shriram Temple. Right from the foundation stone laying ceremony to the Pran Pratishtha ceremony, religious fanatics raised many provocative slogans such as – ‘We will demolish the Shriram Temple again’ and ‘We will reconstruct the Babri Mosque’. However, the BJP Government did not even rebuke such anti-National elements at a time when it should have taken strict legal action against them. The Government failed to respond to these provocations. On the other hand, if Hindus respond to such threats, the Government suddenly becomes hyperactive and puts them behind bars. This behaviour emboldens the religious fanatics. I think this is where the BJP has lost.
3. Awakened Hindus : the need of the hour
Today, such false narratives are being peddled by political parties, film stars, Islamic organisations, Christian missionaries, and fraudulent Hindus on a daily basis. The opposition ran the entire campaign for the 2024 General Elections on the false narrative that – ‘If voted to power, the BJP will amend the Constitution’. The opposition told this lie a thousand times. A considerable section of society considered this to be true and voted against the BJP.
Truth be told, Congress amended the Constitution 60 times to fulfil its selfish motives. The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi inserted the word ‘secular’ in the preamble of the Constitution as the 42nd Amendment during the dark days of Emergency. Despite committing innumerous sins and national blunders, the shameless Congress and its allies have regularly demeaned and defamed innocent Hindus and Hindu organisations.
Wokeism, a bizarre and perverse ideology that challenges the established social order, culture, and traditional family system across the world, has made inroads into Harvard and Oxford Universities. It declares ‘Hindus as communalists. They mistreat Dalits, do not believe in equality, and believe in many Gods’. Moreover, the followers of Wokeism, target and kill Hindus on the pretext of these deadly accusations. They pretend to be the paragons of equality; however, they reject the equality prescribed in Hindu Dharma and do not miss a single opportunity to defame Hindus and Hindu organisations. Their behaviour is perverse, to say the least.
Islamic and Communist organisations, along with Christian missionaries, are behind all the evil plaguing the world. They always get the required financial support to continue their wicked activities. George Soros, a 92-year-old American businessman, is leading the pack. He did everything within his capacity to stop the juggernaut of BJP in the 2024 general elections in India. However, it was God’s grace that Modi crossed the majority with his alliance partners.
These days, the evil powers of the world have become hyperactive. They have already eliminated most of the indigenous customs and traditions. Fortunately, Sanatan Dharma is still prevalent in India. These evil powers have tried to eliminate Hindu Dharma on numerous occasions in the past. Hence, awakened Hindus have become the need of the hour.
