The oldest civilization, our Bhartiya civilization has been attacked several times either from barbarians or intellectually but still our beloved civilizational stands tall. The only Civilization to resist two Abrahamic attacks. Many civilizations faded, many religions destroyed but by the grace of Mahadev, Bharat is standing as a lone warrior against the hate perpetrated by Abrahamic religions like Islam and Christianity. The people of this civilization witnessed how barbarians attacked this holy land, destroyed temples, slaughtered Hindus and unleashed every possible cruelty upon them. Adding onto this we also noticed how the elite class “intellectuals” fought tooth and nail to whitewash the deeds of invaders and put them into the bracket of secularism. But because of few dev tulya Hindus like Sita Ram Goel , Ram Swarup , Koenraad Elst this intellectual imperialism never became a total success. Because of these noble men ,we bhartiyaas have identified the enemies of our civilization and trying our best to get over them. But are we bhartiyaas overlooking the source which is quietly and steadily curtailing the oldest civilization ??
The longest written constitution of a sovereign country is often considered to be the best and most secular constitution which is believed to give equal rights to every citizen and group but are these praising words stand tall when the same constitution is acting as a way to wash this glorious civilization. But the question rises, does our constitution has the capability to protect this ancient civilization? Should this constitution be termed as a secular constitution when it unleashes discrimination against Hindus ? Are we Bhartiyas placing Constitution at the expense of Civilization?
Changing demographics of Bharat is the greatest threat and unfortunately the present Indian Constitution provides no option in order to control the changing demographics. Article 25 comes under “right to freedom of religion” which gives the right to freely profess, practice and propagate any religion. But the question arises , are we following the concept of absolute equality or equality of equals ? Because absolute equality is no equality. Here we need to understand that Islam and Christianity are proselytizing religions which means these religions have the concept of conversion within them probably because of which Muslims and Christian see conversion as a noble step . The followers of Islam and Christianity have a duty of spreading their respective religions. By contrast religions like “Sanatan dharm” don’t have the concept of conversion which makes it stand behind. It’s obvious that conversion will be more natural to the followers of proselytizing religions and therefore Article 25 acts against Hindus. In many Islamic countries there is a ban on conversion ,so why can’t this country follow the same afterall this is the land where most Hindus reside. Because of the changing demographics, the grave concern comes for the Northeastern States of Bharat. Christian missionaries have constantly worked there and unfortunately have been successfully in toppling down the demographics of the area in the favour of Christinity. Unfortunately Delhi did not give much attention to North Eastern States of Bharat especially during Congress Era. It won’t be wrong to say historically North Eastern states faced discrimination from the main land of Bharat. The hills account for about 70% area of the NER and accommodate about 30% of the population and the plains constituting the remaining 30% of the area hold about 70% of its population.The region’s accessibility has always remained weak due to geographical reasons and underdeveloped transport links with the rest of India. The north east states are also very less developed as compared to mainland Bharat. One of the reasons for the economic backwardness of the NER is the poor state of basic infrastructural facilities like roadways, waterways, energy and so on as well as social infrastructure like educational institutions, health facilities etc. But it should also be noted that the situation saw a bright light after the coming of Bhartiya Janta Party in the state.These factors have already turned north eastern states into a delicate thread. Plus the Northeastern regions have witnessed a drastic change in demographics after 1951.Northeast India forms a major region of Christian concentration in India today. Of the 2.78 crore Christians counted in 2011, 78 lakh are in the northeast (including Assam). This is the largest concentration of Christians in India after the coastal region stretching from southern Tamil Nadu and Kerala to coastal Karnataka, Goa and Maharashtra.But unlike other regions, the spread of Christianity in the northeast is almost entirely a phenomenon of the twentieth century. Much of the Christian expansion in the northeast occurred during 1931-51, and more prominently during 1941-51. Manipur as a state holds 41.29 percentage of Christians with Hindu population of 41.39. Almost all Northeastern shows the same demographics. Christian missionaries are operating in large numbers in north eastern parts of Bharat with an intention of changing the demographics. When a person changes his religion, not only does his method of worship changes but also his relationship with land, water, forest also goes a tectonic change. Na kare Narayan if the demographics of North Eastern States changes and Christians come in majority, Bharat will see a rise in seperatist movements in geometric progressions because a hindu from northeastern Bharat considers the land of Bharat sacred and will never raise his voice to cut his Ma Bharti but when he converts, unfortunately he shares no relation with the land. After conversion to Christianity, this land is no more sacred to him. His only connection and faith lies with Jesus. Therefore if Christians comes in majority in the North Eastern states of Bharat, they will raise their demands for a seperate Christian nation same like we saw in 1940s and Bharat might go a second wave of partition.
Moreover Article 30 is the greatest hindrance in the way for making this civilization prosperous. Article 30 of the Indian constitution comes under “cultural and educational rights” which gives all the minorities the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice . Isn’t this article stand in the line of discrimination ? Why this right is only given to minorities? Why not to Hindus? Hindus faced many years of persecution starting from Islamic barbarians to Britishers but still they are not allowed to regain their past glory ,still the Hindus have been given very few opportunities to teach their children about their beautiful scriptures even after achieving freedom. Any civilization’s base is the scriptures and texts of that particular civilization which keeps the civilisation alive and this Article by not letting the new generation of Hindus learn about their religious scriptures is directly hitting at the base. Unknowingly deracinated Hindus are being created which will destroy this oldest civilization. Deracinated Hindus who feels shame in following their traditions and customs. For Indic reneissance, the new generation must be taught about their faith, customs and traditions.
