What >must Hindus do? A few thoughts - > >1. Unity - If we are to look at Hindus before or after independence one of >the reasons for our state is Lack of Unity. Foreigners and many Indians who >do not comprehend the Central Idea behind Sanathan Dharam keep on harping >on differences amongst us, language - dress - eating habits without >realizing that the Rishis of earlier days were marketing whizkids, believed >Think Global Act Local. To them India was the world in which different >people were free to follow their own practices within a Central Idea. >Friends let us set aside our differences of north vs south, east vs west. >United we stand Divided we Fall. We could criticize other Hindus within but >to the outside world we must present one face. It might mean supporting >organizations whose ways you do not agree fully with but if they are >fighting for a bigger cause we must support them and attempt to influence >their thinking rather than publicly criticize them. > >2. Perseverance - starting 712 ad Hindus have been under attack. Post >independence we are under attack from our own countrymen. At times it does >get demoralising, I feel like giving up till I read the Holy Geeta. It has >taught me to be focussed, perseveriant and streadfast in my approach. It >has made me realize the importance of Knowledge and imbibed the spirit of >Bhakti. > >3. Share Wealth - let us resolve to share a % of our earnings with >institutions involved in Education and Health, supporting the Hindu cause. > >4. Do away with Social Evils - We need to work on removing the drawbacks >within the caste system. We must do it for the benefit of ourselves. Let us >be under no illusion that people who want to destroy us will stop even >after the drawbacks no longer exist. > >5. Make people good Hindus meaning make them aware of what Sanathan Dharam >is all about, its traditions - culture and philosophy. Chacha Nehru was a >Indian by name but an Englishmen in mind for which Bharat has paid a heavy >price. When we have knowledge about our culture etc we would automatically >become politically aware as they would be in a better position to benchmark >ourselves with followers of other religions. We need to build up a movement >for getting the Constitution amended so that Hindus manage their own >temples and educational institutions. > >5. Work Harder to create a Prosperous India - I am not suggesting >globalization but simplistically put we need to work harder, encourage >people to get rid of the cynism that has engulfed us. We need to liberalize >within rather than follow the western model of globalization. > >6. Become suppliers of Quality Manpower to the world - The success of >Indians in the U.S. has done wonders to India's image, created a strong >pressure group there. By having a significant number of politically aware >Indians across the globe we could be in a position to influence their >governments to India's advantage. > >7. Keep Powder Dry - we do not want to fight but retain the ability to hit >back. We will not tolerate oppression of mind, body or spirit. > >8. Media War - today's ideological battle's are fought in the media. Not >only do we need to counter that with full force but present the Indian >point of view. > >9. Stop being Apologetic - as Hindus we are perpetually under attack, the >media is scared of criticising minorities due to their strong response so >they have created a Hate Person in Hindus. Since we are not an organised >religion we are unable to protest as much, when we do the media labels the >protesting group as communal. Friends let us speak our minds forcefully, >become Intellectual Kshtatriyas. Attack is the best form of defense. > >10. Ignore China at your own peril - Think, Had it not been for Chinese >support would Pakistan have been able to harm India to the extent it has? >China has just increased its military budget by 18 % and remember that is >the published figure! > >Mitra it has to be a multi pronged effort, a battle that is to be fought on >many fronts, by each one of us individually and collectively. THINK, ACT, >INFLUENCE! > >With Prem and Om sanjeev > >Discover your Indian Roots at - http://www.esamskriti.com >Long Live Sanathan / Kshatriya Dharam. >Generate Positive Vibrations lifelong worldwide. >Aap ka din mangalmaya rahe or Shubh dinam astu or Have a Nice Day >Unity preceedes Strength >Synchronize your efforts, avoid duplication. > _______________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
