SUBJECT: International Hindu Think-Tank
My respected friends,
1. It is becoming clear that there is an International Alliance with the objective of removing from Earthâs surface, the Hindu Religion, Hindu Society and Hindustan. If Hindu Religion be removed from Hindustan, then its removal from the rest of the Earth will be relatively easier.
2. The five enemies of Hinduism are â i) Jihadi Islam, ii) Christian Church,
iii) Communism, iv) Purchased Press, v) âCover of Secularismâ.
3. By and large, Hindus have lived under the influence of slogans like âSarva Dharma Sama Bhava; All Religions Teach the Same Thing.â Such slogans have dimmed the Hindu Vision and recognition and identification of enemies of Hindu Religion. The teachings of Hindu Sadhus, Indian Press and Indian Politicians have created ignorance in average Hindu mind about the existence of enemies of Hinduism. Very few Hindus have read some extremely immoral and cruel teachings of the Holy Quran, Holy Bible and the history of Christianity and Islam and the methods of their attack on Hinduism inside Hindustan and outside Hindustan, how the land of Hindus has been fast shrinking since the Emperor Constantine was converted to Christianity and later Islam exploded and captured countries in Asia, Europe and elsewhere. The tyranny of Islam nearly broke the bones of Hindu Society in Hindustan. Readiness of Muslim masses to resort to Riots and Mass violence has frightened the Hindus terribly. Furthermore, after Independence and Partition of 1947, Hindu Leaders have fought amongst themselves and done shoe-shining work for Muslims for one Hindu to win over another Hindu with the help of Muslim vote Bank. Muslims have been steady in their ambition to Islamise the whole of Hindustan; they have used the silliness and greediness of selfish individual Hindu Politicians who go on giving more and more to Muslims to win their votes, to defeat their Hindu rivals. The word âsecularismâ has been a very convenient cover for the silly greedy Hindu Politicians in this policy of appeasement of Muslims, and weakening of Hindu Society. Through different clauses of the Indian Constitution, the Hindu Society is getting fragmented and the majority Hindu community is getting divided into warring minorities, claiming Minority Protection and Rights. Aggressive anti-Hindu groups are getting stronger and stronger, day-by-day.
4. There are many individual groups of persons who are exchanging amongst themselves, valuable information and suggestions for protection of Hindu Dharma and Hindu Society Here, by Hindu Dharma, I mean Hinduism including its sisters/daughters like Buddhism, Sikhism, Confucianism, Taoism and Jainism. Hinduism is approximately summarized in Geeta. In my humble view, we should co-ordinate the efforts of these individual groups and form something like âInternational Hindu Think Tankâ.
5. I would like to issue a fortnightly E-mail Bulletin containing thoughtful articles for the benefit of Hindu Society. We have resources at Pune, at my place, to collect such articles and distribute amongst thinking people, at no cost to recipients, without paying any money to those who send their own or othersâ Articles. This system may start from 1st January 2005.
The friends mentioned in the list above, and others who come to know of this suggestion, are hereby requested to kindly send their suggestions and material at the earliest, particularly on the following points:
(i) We welcome good-will of organizations like RSS and VHP, but we do not get attached to them, or remain under their control; we do not become tool of any political organization also. We shall remain Independent Thinkers, free to think independently and express ourselves freely, with usual observance of rules of decency.
(ii) Our thinking should display innovativeness.
(iii) We should not be secretive; we stand on Truth and Boldness to speak out the Truth, with usual discipline of responsible persons.
(iv) We should interact with thoughtful and liberal-minded persons of all religions and nationalities. Human society has become sick of fanatics, who shall not think independently and who shall not allow others to think or express themselves fearlessly. Dharma is one, Universal Righteousness, approximately summarized in Geeta. The Truth has been suppressed for too long in the name of this or that âReligionâ; we shall come out of that suppression and dictatorial madness. We are free thinkers with boldness to speak out. We shall not hesitate to speak on strong and weak points of different ideologies, including historical developments inside Hindu Society. Progress cannot take place without serious thinking and some sort of free and decent expression. The world is shrinking to the size of a World Village, through advances in modern communication technology. We stand for the welfare of the whole human race, which is thirsting for a decent, rational, humane ideology. Hinduism provides a good nucleus-centre, which may need some rectification in practice and also correct interpretation. There is too much literature on Hinduism; Geeta can be regarded as a good summary; an average person has neither time, nor facility, nor inclination to study too much literature. This International Hindu Think-Tank group will also try to provide a sort of E-mail âHindu Book-Shopâ of important books on Hindu Dharma. Co-operation of available expertise on the subject of gathering information and providing easy access to the information on Hindu Dharma and related topics is earnestly solicited. There is lot of competence available inside Hindu Society, which lies scattered throughout the world; that needs only a little effort of co-ordination. From my experience in respect of Hinduvoice.net Bulletin, (News and Views), I find that there are so many friends, men and women, who are anxious and kind enough to provide lot of useful information daily through e-mails. I am extremely grateful to them and I am delighted to see that type of free voluntary service to the cause of Hindu Dharma. There is no lack of such noble persons at all. All that we need is a little co-ordinating effort. Internet facility is a great opportunity provided by God/Goddess, the Protector of Dharma; we should use that facility. Centres of Excellence will automatically crop up to take up voluntary free service work on different aspects of Hindu Dharma at various places in the world; we shall only try to provide information links to get them all inter-linked.
Thanking you very much, my friends,
Yours in the service of Sanatana Hindu Dharma,
G. C. Asnani
