The weapon of Ahimsa which Mahatma Gandhi used against the
British was a complex weapon which he used with mixed results. Viewed
in retrospect, no one can doubt that it did put the colonial British
Administration in a tight spot on many occasions. At the same time, no
one can also question the fact that it dampened the fire of
resistance, characteristic of Hindu society which had waged a
relentless war of resistance and survival for almost 1200 years
against the successive waves of Muslim invasion and occupation.
The method of Ahimsa also proved completely ineffective as a
tool of engagement with the Muslims. As Radha Rajan puts it
succinctly: 'Gandhiji's unflinching insistence on Ahimsa as the only
tool in the war for freedom robbed the Indian resistance movement of
its ferocity and sting because Hindu nationalists who tried to make
the British pay with their blood for the sins of their
Christian-colonial Rule were morally de-legitimised. The Congress'
accommodation bordering on self-destructive (for Hindus only!)
indulgence of Muslims in the Indian National Congress and their
growing clout in national politics was the direct fall out of
disarming and disempowering the Hindus. Along with Nehru's perverted
indulgence of the Muslims of Jammu and Kashmir, this dealt the Hindus
two mortal blows, one resulting in the vivisection of India and the
other culminating in the genocide of Hindus of Jammu and Kashmir.
Hindus paid the price for their forced powerlessness; Hindu baiters
tasted blood.'

After the bloody partition of 1947, the sovereign mission of
de-Hinduising our nation continued in the guise of Nehruvian
Secularism or Nehruvian Stalinism. This essentially anti-national and
positively pro-Nehru family philosophy has been accorded the status of
high philosophy, even superior to the 'communal' Advita philosophy of
Adi Sankara!
While the Congress Party under Nehru and Indira Gandhi were
committed to the philosophy of de-Hinduising the nation and
de-nationalising the Hindus, several NGOs backed by global forces of
Christianity and Islam and several Western powers like Britain and USA
entrenched themselves in India after 1955. Later, the Communist
Parties of India came to realise the significance of the role of NGOs
in modifying or altering the basic structures and contours of our
polity and consequently several NGOs wedded to the philosophy of
Marxism on paper also joined the fray in this game of de-Hinduisation
of India and de-nationalisation of the Hindus. The avant-garde book
edited by Radha Rajan and Krishen Kak: 'NGOs, ACTIVISTS AND FOREIGN
FUNDS: Anti-National Industry' brings out the solid truth that many of
these NGOs and activists functioning cosily under the safe umbrella of
so called peace and human rights activism, cleverly cloak their deep
political ambition and objectives - political ambitions not just
restricted to participating or influencing electoral politics but
aimed at shaping the character and direction of Indian polity in a
manner which flows from their warped anti-Hindu, anit-Sanatana Dharma
notion of the Indian Nation. Their political ambitions and activism
are essentially undemocratic and anti-Indian Nation. Their grass roots
activism in many instances is only a fig-leaf for political activism,
well funded through an inflow of foreign money. Eminent scholars like
R Vaidyanathan, Veera Vaishnava, Narayanan Menon Komerath, Krishen
Kak, Nirupama Rajan, George Thondiparambil, Vishal Agarwal, B Raman,
and Arvind Lavakare have contributed seminal articles on the
subterranean role of national sabotage being played by many of these
famous NGOs and the great activists who have won all the global awards
excepting perhaps the Nobel Prize. These fearless scholars expose the
political and anti-national agenda of some very well-known NGOs and
activists and clearly reveal their foreign sponsorships, donors and
funds. It proves their double-standard and their total absence of
public accountability and stress the urgent public need for the
Government of India to ensure a vigorous mechanism to counter this
anti-nation and anti-national industry which has spread to all parts
of India like the most virulent form of terminal cancer. The NGOs that
have been brought under scrutiny include FOIL, AID, ACTIONAID,
PARIVARTAN, and ASHA.
One of the essays in this igniting book is by R Vaidyanathan
entitled 'NGOs: Description and Regulations'. According to him, one of
the largest members of the Indian Economic Action Scene is the NGO
sector - what is known as the Third Sector (other than Government and
Private) in academic circles. What is a non-Government organization
(NGO)? A NGO is any voluntary, non-profit, service-oriented citizens'
group which is organized on a local, national or international basis.
It can be registered as a Society, Trust or Section 25 Company. The
following tables (Table-1 to Table-4) give a synoptic view of the NGO
landscape as a whole in India today (pages 41 to 44 of the book under
review):
Source: India's Invisibles; RBI Bulletin, March 2005.
We don't have exact figures relating to the number of persons
employed in these nearly 28,500 NGOs in India. One estimate puts it at
19.4 million with West Bengal (1.52 Million), Tamilnadu (1.49 Million)
and Delhi (1.03 million) in the forefront.
We should not forget the fact that the total number of
Government employees is roughly only 20 million in India (Central,
State and Local Bodies).
Vaidyanathan rightly concludes: 'The type of activities in
which the NGOs are involved are mind-boggling. It indicates that the
range of concerns of the Third Sector of the NGOs is as large as that
of sovereign States'.
All the essays in the book under review bring out the unknown
aspects of truth about many of the known Kaikayees, Thadagais,
Duryodanas, Dushasanas, Kamsans, Hiranya Kashipus and other such
globe-trotting Rakshasas and Rakshasis in the world of Indian NGOs
today.

I can see from the material presented in this book that many
of them would eminently qualify for the following historic testimonial
to the contemporary members of the Democratic Party in his time in
USA, given by Walt Whitman (1819-1892), the great Poet of American
Democracy: The members who composed it (any Democratic Party National
Convention prior to the Civil War) were seven-eighths of them, the
meanest kind of bawling and blowing officeholders, office-seekers,
pimps, malignants, conspirators, murderers, fancy-men, custom-house
clerks, contractors, kept-editors, spaniels well-trained to carry and
fetch, jobbers, disunionists, terrorists, mail-riflers,
slave-catchers, pushers of slavery, creatures of creatures of the
President, creatures of would-be Presidents, spies, bribers,
compromisers, lobbyers, sponges, ruined sports, expelled gamblers,
policy-backers, Monte-dealers, duelists, carriers of concealed
weapons, deaf men, pimpled men, scarred inside with vile disease,
gaudy outside with gold chains made from the people's money and
harlots' money twisted together; crawling, serpentine men, the lousy
combinings and BORN FREEDOM-SELLERS of the earth.
This is not the end, not even the beginning of the end, but
only the end of the beginning.
