Introduction

We never had a time, as we have now, throwing a challenge to the Hindus across the entire world to prove that they are serious about their identity as well as survival. 

There never was such a crisis for Hindus before. During the thousand odd years, Hindus were attacked, skinned, burnt alive, forcefully and deceitfully converted, Hindu women were dishonored, the properties of Hindus were taken away, their Mandirs were desecrated and destroyed. But, Hindus never caved in, even though there were some traitors. Many of our Brahmanas as well as Kings/Queens along with a large part of civilians never gave up fighting.

Today, we see this not. It seems almost all of us have given up and some Hindus definitely know the reasons why we are in such a state. 

Extremely unfortunately, most of Hindus still do not understand this, most probably, because the article 28 of the constitution. Thanks to the vile-minded Nehru, Hindus were deprived of learning about Hindu dharma right from the elementary schools and also because the Nehru-Leftist ecosystem, ably aided by the toxic Bollywood, indoctrinated their minds with the nonsensical teachings about secularism. 

Hindus, by and large, were not cowards, if one looks into our itihas (Itihasa ≠ History). If that was true, after almost 1000 years of rule by invaders, we still could not have stayed 85% Hindus, so throw the trash back to them who dish out such nonsense to you that we were cowards. We became cowards due to the mantra of ‘ahimsa’ pushed down our throat wrongly by Gandhiji and covertly promoted by extremely toxic Bollywood over a period of the last fifty years or so.

The alarm bells are ringing extremely hard, but most of the Hindus are in deep sleep today. 

A very small number of Hindus are trying their best, and another small number is waiting for an Avatar or some Vibhuti (an emissary of Bhagwan Vishnu) while most of them are living in an illusionary world of secularism.

The current Central Government that Hindus hoped would deliver has, by and large, as yet failed to deliver what was necessary for the survival of civilization, forget about the expectations of the Hindus. Most of the Hindus did not even know what to expect when Narendra Modi became Prime Minister in 2014 because they did not know what ‘almost irreversible’ harm Congress did to us.

There is not an iota of doubt in my mind, while I write this with complete honesty and with huge respect for Shri Narendra Modiji, that of his stature and his integrity, there is none outside Bharat. He is himself absolutely honest, though tolerates corrupt people around him for obvious reasons, has vision, knows his job thoroughly, works incredibly hard, is completely dedicated to Bharat and has achieved extraordinary results for Bharat in terms of many aspects.

However, the most important issues that he also should have addressed were never even considered for whatever reasons he had. But, then, the engine of demographic change ran and has been constantly running at bullet speed during these last ten years and in the next 10-15 years, a beautiful and economical powerhouse Bharat may fall into the laps of the aspiring Jihadis, who do not even ask for it. Some consider this a postponement of the apocalypse by a few years. I tend to believe this.

In the last few weeks, in Bharat, there have been some signs of courage on the part of some top leadership in the BJP as well as in RSS. But, it is not enough. And, in fact, there is a dire need of this courage to result in the percolation of the same into the rank and file, which is not happening so far.

Ninety-nine years old Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is the only organization in Bharat that is very strong, along with many of its offshoots such as Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP)/Bajrang Dal/Sewa Bharati etc., with almost ten lakhs members having a highly enviable track record of dedication, many examples of unparalleled deshbhakti, and complete sincerity. It has a large number of swayamsevakas who are English-educated and who are also educated in Bharatiya knowledge system, a rare combination. 

Under the circumstances, many Hindus keep hoping that RSS may one day show them the way to address this monumental crisis.

Many Hindus have felt that RSS has somehow abdicated their responsibility if one goes through their mission and vision statements on their website, though some of their staunch supporters differ.

As I wrote in the beginning of this article, the top leadership has now started speaking with courage which was long overdue, and this may be, hopefully, the beginning of the right steps in the right direction. However, there are so many ways RSS is just rightly placed to address the issues which need almost immediate actions. 

As a humble Swayamsevak at the lowest rung of the organization, and as a member of the Parivar, after doing a lot of manthan and chintan, I have come up with a few very humble suggestions, some for long-term and some for fire-fighting, for RSS that can help us put up a good fight, even though, we are almost very late.

I would enlist them here and leave it to the good judgment of the leadership to consider:

Long-Term strategy

  1. From a long term perspective, it would be a good idea to encourage children to seek careers in Humanities, Philology, Philosophy, Sanskrit, Journalism, Entertainment Industry, Media, Indian Administrative Services (IAS), Indian Police Services (IPS), Indian Foreign Services (IFS), Judiciary, Academy etc. These are the fields completely flooded with thousands of leftists/Islamists supporters. And, that is because of their strategic planning and vision since the last 40 to 50 years. (Of course, before encouraging Hindu youth to take up courses in Humanities, it must work with scholars to develop a completely new curriculum in Humanities/Social Sciences to reflect Vaidik ethos. Current curriculum, in Bharat or overseas, turns our youth against Sanatana dharma).
  2. Is it willing to seek help from non-Parivar scholars who are also nationalists, who are also pro-Bharat? So far, they have restricted themselves to only those who belong to the Parivar and that could also be the main reason no intellectual work has come out of it. (For more details on this statement, please read: https://intellectualkshatriya.com/rss-and-intellectual-kshatriyataa-hand-not-in-glove/) One cannot find any scholarly researched work on par with Swatantravir Savarkar, Sitaram Goel, Dharampal, Arun Shourie, Rajiv Malhotra, Minaxi Jain, Vikram Sampath, Sai Deepak, Sahana Singh to name just a very few. By keeping its doors closed to outside scholars, experts and brilliant strategists, analysts etc., who are also as nationalists as any RSS member, RSS is losing out and thus Bharata is losing out. If RSS believes in the Vaidik darshan, then it should follow the teaching of Rigveda where it says ‘आ नो भद्रा: क्रतवो यन्तु विश्वत:- Let noble thoughts come from all sides.
  3. Since the attacks on Hindus, Hindu Mandirs and Hindu dharma itself have exponentially increased in the last few years, especially outside of Bharat, there is a strong need for Hindus and Hindu organizations to join hands together and raise their unified voice. So far, every organization has been living in its own silo and making a meek statement that would not be taken  note of by any media or politician. HSS being the largest organization may take lead and bring all the organizations that represent Hindus such as BAPS, AOL, Isha, CoHNA, HFA, Infinity Foundation, HMEC and all the other Hindu organizations creating a think-tank with some kind of ‘Common Minimum Program’ and also a body to take immediate defensive mechanism.
  4. Inculcate in Hindus values/teachings to be brave and not cowardly. The talks on this topic should be a regular mantra to be chanted day-in-and-day-out.  The teachings of Bharatiya Martial Arts can make them strong and brave. How much and how far shall we keep running away? We ran away from Kashmir, we found shelter in Jammu and other parts of India. Hindus ran away from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan and they found some shelter in India. Hindus ran away in 2021 after elections in West Bengal, they found shelter in Assam. However, where shall we find shelter if we are assaulted now in Bharat? There are nine states where Hindus are already in minority and there are so many areas where Hindus are attacked. If we cannot defend ourselves against the attacks, then it would be almost impossible to survive. 
  5. Strengthen VHP and Bajrang Dal. I need not elaborate here. 

Now, let us see what should be the strategy for fire-fighting.

Fire-Fighting Strategy

  1. In Bharat, lakhs of its swayamsevakas-s should be encouraged to be vigilant and be the eyes and ears of the community. They should keep an eye for the trouble that would be in the making. For example, during Ram Navami or Hanuman Jayanti or Durga Puja celebration, in many areas, we are always attacked with stones, acid bottles etc. by the minority community. If the RSS members and crores of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) members can be encouraged to keep an eye, especially in the most sensitive areas, these incidents could be easily prevented. In any case, it is not rocket science to understand that the stones are not grown in the buildings or inside the houses, they are brought in physically from somewhere. These vigils are enough to find that out first and could be a first step to prevent and catch the culprits. 
  2. There is also an urgent need to encourage making ‘Community Committees or Neighborhood Committees’, especially in the sensitive areas where day-and-night vigil should become the norm. This is to pre-empt the potential future attacks and also prepare Hindus to get ready to protect in the time of need. Our army is stationed in the Siachen Glaciers in the minus 50 degree centigrade temperature for the same reason. 
  3. Keeping similar vigil at the madrassas, masjids and other community places where Muslims are continuously taught to create mayhem as and when they get opportunity. They also store arms and weapons inside these places. Why can we not infiltrate and keep an eye on these activities? 
  4. To prevent various kinds of jihads such as love-jihad/food-jihad/land-jihad/cow-jihad/shopping mall-jihad, it is recommended that RSS should open a hotline across Bharat, collaborate with the likes of Kajal Hindustani as well as other activists/organizations dealing with such issues who are working day-and-night to save Hindu girls and Hindu dharma affected by such jihads.
  5. Introduce teaching ancient martial arts at all shakhas. In collaboration with the qualified trainers, RSS would first need to train the teachers who can then train the swayamsevakas. This must be done without any waste of time. 
  6. Design/develop ‘Self-Protection Toolkits’ in collaboration with bright minds which one can find anywhere  and everywhere in Bharat and then collaborate with some desh-bhakta industrialists to mass-produce and distribute. 

(Please refer suggestions for the same in this article: https://kreately.in/self-defense-tool-kit-for-existential-battle-fighters/)

  1. Review the curriculum of shakhas and introduce materials to prepare strong intellectual kshatriya right from the young age. Some scholars like Rajiv Malhotra, who has spent more than three decades on this, can help. 

Conclusion

If RSS ever gets to do atma-chintan, atma-manthan, or introspection, the top leadership may realize that the battle cannot be fought and won by RSS alone. There are so many brilliant, scholarly true nationalists outside of the Parivar that ignoring them is giving the inimical forces more power. The credit for composition of Vedas does not go to one Rishi, but to the hundreds of them. The Hadron Collider project has collaboration of almost 10,000 scientists from hundreds of universities from more than 100 countries of the world.

Then, what makes RSS think it alone can fight and win the battle?

To start with, the best bet would be to work with the likes of Rajiv Malhotra, who is an extremely bright star shining luminously on the Bharatiya civilizational horizon. There are many such scholars who may be invited to work with viz. Dr.  Minakshi Jain, Dr. Vikram Sampath, Sai Deepak, Sahana Singh, Dr. DK Hema Hari, Dr. Raj Vedam, Niraj Atri etc. to name just a few. Of course, there are many and depending on the need, and the strength of everyone, collaborations should be welcome.

Bharat has almost lost its battle as far as demographic change is concerned. The reason is obvious because of the first crucial 60-70 years of the rule of appeasement. If we live in the hopes that this so-called minority samaj will not fail us, then perhaps we are living in a fool’s paradise. Yes, there are some who would live and let live, but most of the silent majority of them would not. The results of the 2024 Lok Sabha as well as J&K elections are indicators of what is to come.

The sooner we understand this truth, the better it may be for us.

Having said all the above, we still cannot give up. 

If we do not do adequate purushartha by utilizing the available massive human resources, then even our Ishwar cannot help us. This shloka from Mahabharata says it very clearly.

न देवा दण्डमादाय रक्षन्ति पशुपालवत् ।

यं तु रक्षितुमिच्छन्ति बुद्ध्या संविभजन्ति तम् ॥

विदुरनीति ३-४० 

The Devata-s don’t protect like a shepherd with a stick. Whom they want to protect, they give them intelligence. 

‘Sanghathan me shakti hai’ (there is power in unity) is our signature credo. What is the use of this Sanghathan if we cannot use that shakti?

Astu!
