In Tamil Nadu, Udhayanidhi Stalin's call for the genocidal eradication of adherents of Sanatan Dharma, the eternal Hindu religion, is not shocking. Hindu deities were destroyed or struck with slippers even in the 1970s in an effort to right historical wrongs committed against lower castes by Brahmins.
In Tamil Nadu, a state that has hosted some of the greatest Hindu dynasties, including the Cholas, Pallavas, and Parantakas, such anti-Hindu sentiment has become commonplace. So is Udhayanidhi Stalin inciting demands for the annihilation of Muslims and Christians due to centuries of jihad and massacres committed during the colonial era by calling for the genocide of Hindus?
This is not the first instance, where DMK government and its legislators have spewed venom against the Sanatan Dharma. DMK leader A Raja’s remarks on caste at a meeting in Chennai have sparked a controversy, yet again. Mr Raja, Nilgiri’s MP and DMK's deputy general secretary, said Shudras were insulted in Manusmrithi and denied equality, education, employment and entry into temples. "You are a Shudra till you remain a Hindu. You are the son of a prostitute till you remain as Shudra. You are a Panchaman (Dalit) till you remain a Hindu. You are an untouchable till you remain a Hindu," he said while addressing a meeting of Dravidar Kazhagam here. In a video that went viral in social media he was heard saying, "How many of you wish to stay as children of prostitutes? How many of you wish to remain untouchables? Only if we are vocal about these questions, it will become elemental in breaking Sanathana (dharma)."
The state of Tamil Nadu has been in complete grasp of Christian Missionaries and this is visible in actions of the government of DMK and its leaders. There has been an increase in conversion cases in Tamil Nadu since the DMK took office, and the Stalin administration was frequently charged with being remotely manipulated by the Christian conversion mafia. Stalin reportedly declared, "The government in Tamil Nadu was founded by you," at the opening of the Church of South India's 75th anniversary in October 2021, while seated next to Dr. N. Ezhilan, who is frequently accused of demonising Hindu gods and goddesses in front of young children. Even in the state Assembly, DMK MLAs openly mock Hinduism and its symbols, despite the fact that the majority of the state's electorate is still Hindu.
Udhaynidhi Stalin is only taking forward the legacy of his party and father and it is about time that we shun this kind of politics. Spewing venom against Sanantan has become a fashion is South but the question mark is on parties like Congress and JD(U), who claim themselves to be secular but keep mum on such antiques by their allies. Not a single leader from I.N.D.I Alliance has condemned the statement of the young leader in Tamil Nadu. This puts them in bracket and people should ask them whether they agree with the statement or not, and then only their true colours will be seen by the people. It is high time that people of India, particularly Hindus should stand against such crass statements and teach such leaders and parties a lesson.
There is a conspiracy going on not only internally but also externally (remember Leicester attacks on Hindu temple), to destabilise, defame both India and Hindus.
You cannot deny the fact that these anti-Hindu elements have brainwashed Hindus for generations, forcing "secularism" down their throats while every aspect of Hindu life was being infiltrated by Marxist and Communist ideologies. At the same time, Hindus were the target of massive humiliation, persecution, slaughter, shaming, displacement, forced conversion, and systematic genocide. One ponders that why did attacks and plots against Hindus, Hinduism, and Hindustan increase 100 times in the past few months, despite the fact that this long-standing process has been in progress and Hindus have quietly endured such appalling living conditions?
You don’t see Hindu terrorists blowing up airplanes or buildings or churches, in reality…Do you? You don’t see Hindus go around rioting or destroying neighbourhoods. No, we don’t have that reputation. No Hindu ever went to any country to conquer that foreign land, impose superiority of Hinduism on others…nor killed anyone in the name of religion. After observing events over the last 6 months, it is clear that none of the incidents are isolated. An international conspiracy of pushing narratives on painting Hindus as terrorists, Hinduism as evil, and defaming and sidelining India seems to be the goal.
Foreign invaders plundering India for thousands of years, torturing Hindus, imposing their religion on native Hindus, and forcibly converting them to Abrahamic religions. Mass conversion campaigns are still being conducted by missionaries today. Even in the face of attempts at ethnic cleansing and genocide, Hinduism has endured. The core values and traits of a Hindu, such as tolerance, kindness, and acceptance, remained constant. Unfortunately, Hindus are worthless, unbelievers, and non-believers for the Abrahamic religions, and they are committed to wipe Hinduism off the face of the planet.
What is Sanatan Dharma?
Hinduism and Sanatana Dharma is the same thing. Sanatana Dharma, which is generally translated as "Eternal Law or Way," is a self-referential phrase. Although the term "Hindu" is a centuries-old Persian phrase that originally referred to the Indic culture they discovered on the banks of the Indus river endorsing specific philosophical beliefs and a way of life, it has since gained widespread use as a self-referential term. The diverse Sanatana Dharma or Hindu adherents over the centuries have included those who, among other ideas, are inspired by the Vedas and other Hindu sacred texts; accept that there are various paths to, perspectives on, and ways to worship the one all-pervasive Ultimate Reality, Absolute, Divine, or Consciousness; acknowledge an underlying unity of all existence; and, finally, who are inspired by the Vedas and other Hindu sacred texts. Recognise that karma and rebirth are the governing forces in life; consider dharma, or good living, as a duty and a manner of life that is most conducive to spiritual development; and see liberty (moksha) as the ultimate aim.
Hindu culture is already much "customised." Extremely diverse ethnicities and peoples have modified and adapted it. Additionally, it would be harmful and useless to attempt to define Hindu culture in a single, "absolute" way. These "definitional wars" were what propelled Catholics and Protestants in Europe to engage in centuries' worth of bloodshed and unspeakable atrocities; broadly speaking, "Romanic" Europe and "Germanic" Europe were on opposite sides of the conflict. The Shia-Sunni struggle, which rages throughout the Middle East both directly and through proxy wars, is also a clash between Iranian and Arab cultures (this isn't quite accurate, but it's a reasonable approximation).
There is a significant lesson to be learned from this.
Hindu culture has a "Open System Architecture" that enables a wide range of philosophies to exist inside of it and allows for multiple interpretations. Extremely diverse and richly textured cultural constructs have been built around it — without the need for violent conflict over who is right. Additionally, awful things have always happened once any Hindu sect made the decision that they were the "right" ones and that everyone else had to submit to their reasoning or leave. Although a Malayali Hindu and a Haryanvi Hindu are quite different culturally, they will both acknowledge that their respective belief systems are based on the same "seed." They may worship various Gods and observe different festivals, but are essentially one.
Why Attack on Sanatan?
These attacks on Sanatan solve vested purposes of vicious people. If you can see, then you must have gathered that these coordinated attacks on Sanatan have started from 2014 onwards, more viciously. But why? There is a burning senasation among Hindus on such attacks. Government also has to respond to citizens. Why Hindus have become easy targets despite making up 80 per cent of the population is a topic that plagues every Hindu these days. And this is true despite the fact that the Hindutva party controls government in India. If you're a Hindu and you live anywhere in the world: this has to frighten you. You must be upset by this. Addressing this specific question becomes much more important.
It is indisputable that these anti-Hindu groups have indoctrinated Hindus for many generations, shoving "secularism" down their throats while Marxist and Communist doctrines have permeated every part of Hindu life. Hindus were the subject of widespread humiliation, persecution, killing, shaming, displacement, forced conversion, and systematic genocide at the same time. One wonders why, despite the fact that this protracted process has been ongoing and Hindus have been silently enduring such horrendous living conditions, attacks and plans against Hindus, Hinduism, and Hindustan have increased 100 times in recent months.
In fact, you don't witness Hindu terrorists detonating bombs in churches, buildings, or aeroplanes...Do you? Hindus don't typically engage in rioting or neighbourhood devastation. We don't have a reputation like that. No Hindu ever travelled to a foreign country with the intention of conquering it, imposing Hinduism as the only true religion, or killing people for their religion. It is obvious that none of the cases are isolated after observing events throughout the last nine years. There appears to be a global plot to promote narratives that portray Hindus as terrorists, Hinduism as bad, and defame and marginalise India.
And to do this, they have developed a plan that involves the media, NGOs, and numerous other variables that need to be looked into in detail. But you can obtain a general sense of such a plan in the following four areas:
1. A brand-new narrative - Try to demonise a Hindu monk as a militant while humanising cruel Islamic terrorists by portraying them as scholars (as in the cases of Riaz Naikoo and Yogi Adityanath, respectively). Furthermore, it appears that since the 2014 election, Western-leftist global media have stepped up their efforts to undermine India. However, these assaults have amplified 100-fold since the BJP won a second term in 2019.
2. Left-liberals dominate history education in academia, from elementary school through college. Marxists, communists, and left-leaning liberals want to get rid of any mentions of Hinduism and God in the literature. In West Bengal, for example, a sixth-grade textbook teaches that Lord Ram was an invader and that the word "roaming" is derived from the name Rama.
3. Regrettably, the radical Ghazwa-E-Hind agenda and its brutal actions are being brutally suppressed by leftist communist forces (Break India Agenda), who are actively working to destabilise India. The use of expressions like "Bharat tere tukde honge — InshaAllah InshaAllah," "Pakistan Zindabad," and "Hum lekar rehenge azaadi, Jinnah Wali Azadi" by the young and students of this pious nation is proof of it.
4. One of the main players in this plot is the Indian cinema industry. Songs, dancing, and glamorised movie stars all aid in the agenda's promotion. Unfortunately, they have similar viewpoints that denigrate Hindus and are Hollywood-style left-wing liberals. In reality, they harm children's minds while unintentionally affecting future stories, from the storyline to the characters. Movies that frequently portray a Hindu sadhu (monk) in saffron as a terrorist, Hindu police as corrupt, etc., or comedians making fun of Hindus are surefire ways to implant utterly dangerous stories about Hindus and Hinduism in the subconscious mind, even though funding comes from the Middle East and Western countries. It is indisputable that Bollywood superstars routinely express support for Islam.
The question of why such propaganda was launched (all of a sudden) against Hindus, Hinduism, India, and particularly the preceding six months, then, becomes pertinent. Why do they denigrate India while pretending to be equal and humane? The immediate answers to those concerns are to unsettle India, destroy its economy, and prevent India from recovering its prior status as a global leader. To deter foreign corporations from investing in the Indian market, they need to fundamentally paralyse, destabilise, and destroy India. Without a question, slander plays a part in India's exclusion and political, social, and economic cornering. However, as they say Kuch Baat hai ki hasti, miatati nahi hamari, sadiyon raha hai Dushman, daur-e- zamaan hamara.
