Intellectual terrorism: Readers´ Forum
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->The way Romila Thapar and Michael Witzel have criticised the proposal of California State Board of Education (CSBE) to teach Rama, Krishna, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata in textbooks, in an article published in a Delhi-based English daily, reveals the anti-Hindutva attitude of the two careerists. Since their malicious propaganda stopped the Indian politicians and so-called historians from teaching Hindu history including the epics and the great heroes like Rama and Krishna in the Indian textbooks, the Romila Thapars' and Michael Witzels' hearts are burning to note that their academic dictatorship has failed to prevail on the politicians of America, where Hindus are not so stupid as we are in India. Such career-seeker scholars who question the very existence of the heroes of humanity, like Rama and Krishna, live in fool's paradise. They should ask themselves as to why only their interpretation of Indian history should be taught world over. Agreed, their collaboration with the violence-seeker Marxists and fundamentalist Islamists has been terrorising the common Indian Hindus for long, but now since the assertive Hindutva refuses to tolerate the intolerance of the terrorists posing as scholars, the Hindu heroes must get a place in Indian textbooks also. What exactly causes pain in the stomach of Romila Thapar and Michael Witzel in noting that the "American Hindutva lobby is very closely allied to the RSS" is not known. They must know that it is not only the Hindus of more than one hundred countries who are allied to RSS. Every right thinking person of any pursuance knows in his or her heart that RSS stands for patriotism, freedom and true secularism. Opposing the CSBE move to update the textbooks is nothing short of intellectual terrorism. It is the anti-Hindu attitude of the so-called secularists that gives solace to Nazism, racism, Marxism, fundamentalism and, indeed, terrorism. An honest study and teaching of textbooks of the characters of Rama and Krishna would make a terrorism-free world. Mankind has already tasted the violence-seeker religionists' rule and their approach to divide humanity. Time has now come, when not only California, but the whole world must ignore the society-breaker careerists posing as scholars and teach Hindutva in detail in textbooks to redeem peace and progress for mankind.
