Dear Members/Moderators,
I do not see any other thread appropriate for this topic, which is why I am posting it as a separate topic. Hope that's ok.
When we look around the world, we see that most things are done for profit. Even ethics and principles take a back seat more often than not. People who're anti-Hindu, for instance, do so because it's profitable. It has nothing to do with the truth. Suppose we try to convince someone of the good things of Hindu Nationalism, he's more likely to ask, "What's in it for me?" How many times we've talked to our friends about Ram temple, only to be responded to with a casual, "Who cares about temples? We need to focus on economics, we need to create jobs, eradicate poverty...." It's the same old story. People prefer profits and practicality to nationalism, pride, and pretty much everything else.
That being the case, how to make Hindu Nationalism profitable, so that more people can join us? Is it possible for us HNs to get together and start something along these lines? Some online biz venture, by and for Hindu Nationalists? Something innovative yet profitable, so that we'll grow financially, which in turn might help us develop a nationalist org catering to Hindus?
There are many creative people around here, let's discuss this.
Warmly,
Suresh
