Dharma vs Hindutva

Posted on September 15, 2021 by janamejayan

Hindutva which term though originally forumulated by one Chandranath Basu did not do much of a revision to Sanathana Dharma as is a modern concept articulated by the towering personality of the nationalist Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in 1923. Two years later RSS was established and its idealogue Guruji Golvalkar embraced it and deified it.

Savarkar also ardently supported the division of the country and RSS never resisted the division. Thus Gandhi’s Congress, Golvalkar’s RSS and Savarkar’s Hindu Mahasabha all of them conspired to deny Sanathanis a land of their own but gladly gave away huge parcel of the country to the Mohammedans so they have a state and a military to attack the defenceless Dharmishtas.

So What is Hindutva?

Savarkar put the basics of it as follows: Hindutva is an inclusive term of everything Indic. The three essentials of Hindutva in Savarkar’s definition were the common nation (rashtra), common race (jati), and common culture or civilisation (sanskriti).

Now, in it that idea Hindu as a religion does not owns the rashtra unlike Pakistan. Dr. Subramanian Swamy was much more clear on who owns the country. He says, no matter what religion you profess, as long as you accept that Hindus were your ancestors then you are a good citizen! This is the sum and substance of the secular basis of their rashtra. The constitution makes lip service to the Hindu ethos. It says that those states who desires to stop slaughter of cows can do so. It also means that those politicians who don’t like the idea can reverse it because the legislature is the ‘will’ of the people and it can do what it likes. Dr. Swamy went one step ahead and made a discrimination on the cows as one with the hump and another without and the modern so called ‘scientists’ called the one with the hump as ‘indic’ and true to his bootlicking of the westerners the so called ‘protogonist’ of Hinduism Dr.Swamy declared openly that those cows without hump can be culled and eaten. How would anyone differentiate the meat came from humped cow or unhumped cow or even buffalow? This fake Brahmin who claims to be vegetarian knows not. His affliation to Hinduism is the destruction of its practices that he considered opposed to the ‘equality’ side of secularism. So he goaded Modi to send an army to quell the resisting Ayyappa devotees like he did to the Hindus who protested in the streets of Gujarat against the burning of Hindu karsevaks.

Hinduism is an invetion of the British as a religion in the style of Abrahamics and it is ridden with castes and they manage to use this to make more castes and entrench them to divide an ancient people by dividing and bestowing privileges on the people on the basis of castes. Now each caste seem to be a religion spread over the vast country and each caste a tiny one in comparison to others within Hinduism and outside of it among other religions.

Who actually are we?

We are Sanathanis (ancients) who followed a conduct, an affiliation to a set of priniciples they hold sacrosant without trampling others in the movement. The Sanathanis recognise that humans behave as they do driven by their own personal bent of mind called ‘guna’ which their Dharma teaches them as an instrument by which they reap their past leftover karmas for which they have not enjoyed the fruits of their labor. So, if you have an inclination to fight then your pursuit will be for weapons etc. Again the Sanathani’s found out that they are only 4 powers in the world and nothing more and these four powers are (a) knowledge, (b) weapon, (c) wealth and (d) labor. These four forces are generated by their guna that transforms into their work or karma. Thus Lord Krishna terms this as GuNa Karma Vibhaagam or division of society on the basis on their guna and karma. Thus the division of people are only 4 in number called Varna based not on the whim of any king but on the natural Guna factor. The British divided the populace on the basis of work that is impermenant and changing as the technology changes but nevertheless they kept them compartmentalized in a caste society. The Sanathanis do not say a Brahmin and a Sudhra cannot marry but the Hindu religion says so. This distinction has been thrown to the winds by the secular rascals.

Lord Krishna also laid down that for the peace and prosperity of the society, that the four varnas stay apart and not trample on each other. He firmly prohibited any one from aggrandising the powers of two or more powers totally restricting each to his own pursuit of what his GuNa dictates. This is called Purushartha.

We have survived as a civilization with this Dhaarmic background and virtues for millions of years and prospered. It is because the Sanathanis insist on individual liberty through which alone public good can be attained. And if you look back on our history our people at every period of time has left enormous wealth of dazzling technology and cultivable ethics to the posterity. No other society has given so much to the posterity like ours did.

As a concluding note I should say that Hindu was a name given by Muslims to the people who lived east of Indus. Religionwise we were kafirs. The British took the word Hindu and made it into religion to discriminate them from Muslims. Then they started dividing and defining them. Their successors including BJP are perfecting the division and definition.
