Protection of Dharma, Samskriti and
Society is our Responsibility
Ours is Hindu a Country. Several people have said so. But
due to changed scenario there is a need for rethinking. We keep
hearing ‘Vishwa Hindu Parishad’ talking about ‘Hindu country’
and BJP’s ‘Cultural Nationalism’ etc. Similarly some people say
that Swami Vivekananda gave a correct description of Hinduism.
Some others say that Gandhiji’s Hindu ideology was correct. Thus,
10 to 12 ideologies of Hinduism are being talked about. Doubts
may arise whether these are all different. While we use the word
‘Dharma’ in our country, in English it is used as ‘Religion’. They
don’t carry the same meaning. Similarly the word ‘Sanskruthi’ used
by us and the word ‘Culture’ in English are not the same. In this
way, use of words in different languages could create wrong
terminology that create doubts & apprehensions and hence we
should go in depth.
How concepts of Hindu country or Hindu nationalism thought
are created? There is a lot of difference between what is called as
‘Nation’ in foreign countries and ‘Hindutva’ as understood here.
But we wrongly feel that both are same. How countries like
England, Germany and Arabia formed? Once we examine this
aspect, we’d realize that they’re all created with some self-interest
in view. Every human being needs happiness and joy. Human being
has realized that there is a greater happiness in working together
than working alone. But to become a group, live and work together,
there should be a cause and basis. America came into existence by
revolting against the British, who occupied and oppression them
and became an independent country in 1776 in order to achieve
self-rule and freedom. In a similar way, Otto von Bismarck
established independent Germany on the basis of language for the

11
interest of German-speaking people by bringing them together
wherever they were. Even England was created for serving such
self-interest. Those who suffered losses due to constant tussle
among different races ultimately became one based on language.
That is how England was created. Prophet Mohammad united all
Arabian territories into one based on the mode of worship. Arabia
was created thus. So, all these nations were created for fulfilling
purposes of self-interest and self-protection.
But our country India is not created for any such purpose by
any individual. It came into existence naturally. It was a natural
creation from Kabul to Myanmar and from Tibet in Himalayas to
southern land of Sri Lanka. Adjoined on three sides by oceans and
on two sides by mountains this land is very safe. It cannot be
attacked by anybody. It is a vast land. Natural resources are
abundant. There is no need to go elsewhere for any purpose. That
is why people here used to live happily and joyfully. Those who
came here used to live happily and satisfactorily without any clashes
due to plenty of natural resources. No situations cropped up leading
to any self-interest or skirmishes amongst people.
Desert area Arabia contained only sand and hence those living
there had to loot others for their survival. Hence a continuous
struggle became a way of life. It was a situation where they used
to trust only their members and not others. Their mindset was so
changed that they used to treat others as enemies. This resulted in
continuous wars in that region and a warrior-society was created.
Islam became a prominent religion there. In European countries,
business became their way of life. Methods of cheating were
necessary for business and this became the nature of the people
there.
But in our country, such situations are not there. Due to
availability of plenty of resources in India, people cultivated the
habits of living together in peace, harmony and goodwill. Due to
sacredness of the land of Bharat, such good qualities became our
inherent nature and we are able to live happily. Therefore, this
Indianness is the basis for Hindu nationalism. Inseparable, pure
and vigilant is Bharat. One who has absolute determination and
devotional thoughts towards Bharat, alone is a Hindu. One should

12
possess such noble qualities, which exist through legacy in our
sacred land. Great saints and Rishis performed penance for the
welfare and glory of the universe. It is from this penance this land
got strength and vibrancy. Therefore we follow, pray and respect
such saints. Our nation was neither created due to any clashes or
wars nor due to any fear, selfishness or reactions. It is born out of
a desire to serve others and nobody has specially created it. It is a
natural creation. The basis for nationalism is sacred land. One who
does not have respect and care towards inseparable sacred Bharat
cannot be a Hindu. Similarly one should agree for cultivating a
thought process in tune with nationalism. But for that no one need
give up anything. Without giving up any particular religious custom,
which one would’ve acquired by birth, one can consent to Indian
thought, because this observation and thought-process is not against
anybody. This is called Hindutva
For the sake of happiness and joy, people in the world look
outside themselves. We desire for varieties of tasty food due to
craving in the tongue. But does the taste and happiness really exist
in them? It appears no. Though they give happiness and joy to
some extent, ultimately it results in tastelessness and desire is then
lost. Hence it is obvious that happiness does not lie in the object
but in the mind. The happiness in the mind is brought out through
consumption of the food. The happiness does not lie in the object.
It lies inside us and in our Self (soul). The real happiness is through
Self-only. It is the truth pertaining to entire humanity. It is absolute
and universal truth. The world knows only three and they are
individual, group and creation. These are also termed as- ‘Artha’
(wealth), ‘Kama’ (desire) and ‘Moksha’ (salvation).
But in our country we have added a fourth ideal. In addition
to physical body, mind and intellect we have declared existence of
Self (Soul). We have identified that real happiness lies only in
Soul. Physical body, mind and intellect perish. But Self is real.
What exists in a single individual, the same thing exists in a group
also. Though human beings look differently from outside, the
existence of Self is the same in all. This is called as ‘unity in
diversity’. One Universal Self is reflected in different forms of
Self. In other countries, the knowledge of Self is not there.

13
Therefore a thought prevails that we are different individuals since
we look differently. Without knowledge of Self, such differences
result in struggle and clashes are inevitable. It is only from such
separatist tendencies, ideologies like ‘fight for survival’ and
‘kingdom is only for strong’ are born. King became necessary for
administration and enforcing law. But to face king’s cruelty, the
necessity of God arose. Necessity of Science arose when in the
name of God, atrocities are committed. And when injustices and
crimes were taking place even with Science, communism was born.
When faults in communism are noticed, people looked towards
capitalism. But now, even capitalism has become inescapable
despite being fraught with demerits. Thus, people look for
happiness and peace from one thing to another. There is no such
stupidity in our country. Our ancestors identified 14 tatras and
further talked about the root nature prevalent in them. This means,
no matter how each one looks different from outside, the basis
inside them is the same for all. Hence without giving up any
individual nature, each can coexist with all. Though differences
exist in languages, nation and the concept of God all can coexist
peacefully. Entire universe can be one family which is in tune with
our motto ‘Vasudhaiva kutumbakam’. By ignoring petty differences
appearing outside and by identifying the core philosophy, which is
the same for all, we can live happily without any clash. The aim of
life is Self-realization. The method of Indian life is to live together
without any clash with anybody.
In other countries such balanced thought process, which
encompasses all views does not exist. Only partial attitude is visible.
This balance is considered as ‘Dharma’. Religion is mistakenly
equated with Dharma. Also, rituals & different forms of worship
is a religious custom and it does not carry the same meaning as
Dharma. In a similar manner Moksha and Dharma are two different
concepts. Dharma balances all the aspects of Artha, Kama and
Moksha. India has given to the mankind the philosophy of balanced
& principled lifestyle based on the concepts of individual Soul,
Divinity and Dharma. It isn’t restricted to any particular way of
worship or religion. This is called Hindu way of life and Hindu
culture.

14
Great sages have practiced these principles and shown us
this way of life. But this way of life is not restricted to any particular
book or scripture. They looked at entire species of life as an aspect
of the same divinity. With this vision Sant Eknath quenched the
thirst of a donkey by giving water from the sacred river Ganges.
There are many such ideals and values. Lord Rama, who gave up
the throne by listening to his respectable father and went to forest,
is still a role model. While those who grab the throne just to rule
the kingdom without having any ideals or values are looked down
upon even today. For example, Bill Clinton, the former president
of the powerful country United States is not respected as an
individual, since there are many allegations about his personal
character.
Even today, we look up to Lord Rama as the standard for an
ideal ruler/ administrator. Based on such high morals and wisdom,
some values and ideals have come into existence and based on the
practice of such ideals, some traditions have come into existence
and such traditions being followed for many generations have
shaped our culture. We call this collectively as our culture. One
who respects and has faith on this culture & tradition is called an
Indian. Even if such a person goes to Masjid for Namaz, he is still
a descendent of Lord Rama, but not that of Babar. He can still
have his religious belief and still be a Hindu. This will be possible
if he respects Motherland (Bharath Mata), values Hindu culture
and the ideals of Hindu ancestors.
The basis for Bharateeyata (Indianness) is respect for
Motherland, Dharma (Virtue), respect for the glorious culture and
for the ancestors etc. Whoever has this understanding are all
Indians, Hindus.
The land of India is also known as the land of the wise
(Aryans) or the land of Hindus. Only those who recognize the
greatness of sacred India and have unwavering faith & devotion
towards the motherland can be called as Hindus or Indians.
Humanism & universal thinking are the thought process of Indians
and their identity. The practice of Virtue (Dharma), wise thinking
and glorious heritage is conveyed by the word ‘Hindu’. The country
has gone through various changes in its geography. The word ‘India’

15
is only restricted to the geographical location and it cannot convey
any of its glorious cultural values, the ideals, universal values or
virtue. This is the reason why only the word ‘Hindu’ is appropriate.
Those who don’t recognize the cultural values and ideals don’t
like the word ‘Hindu’. They may agree to other words like ‘Bharat’/
’India’ etc but not to the word ‘Hindu’ because the word ‘Hindu’
clearly illustrates the ideals, cultural values and its practice. Those
how don’t like this illustration are against using the word ‘Hindu’.
But, they don’t have any objection to using the words ‘Bharat’ as
referring the country and ‘Hindu’ as referring to only religion. The
reason being they can misuse the word ‘Hindu’ by creating lot of
illusions & questions to make needless allegations about its cultural
values and ideals.
When we explain clearly that the word ‘Hindu’ doesn’t
denote religion but a set of values, ideals, culture and a way of
thinking, then there won’t be any scope for misunderstood
terminology. There is a resistance to referring the word ‘Hindu’ to
the correct meaning and its proper appeal. The meaning of ‘Hindu’
cannot be twisted and we should insist on its correct meaning.
Ours is Hindu culture, Hindu nation and Hindu society. Veera
Savarkar has defined it that way. Doctor Hedgewar has given a
simpler meaning as follows: Those who are Hindus or whose
ancestors were Hindus & they recognize it and those whom we
identify as Hindus. Hence the word ‘Hindu’ is very important.
Hindutva means universal and humanistic thinking. The
ancestors of our fellow Muslims and Christians residing in this
country are all Hindus. Hence we recognize them as Hindus only.
But there are some forces which are trying to destroy this Hindu
culture, which is based on universal values. These forces are trying
to destroy the society based on these cultural values. Every Muslim
residing in this country is a Hindu. But, instead of realizing that he
is part of the larger Hindu culture, which has sheltered & nurtured
him, he is ignorantly acting against Hindutva and we should bring
him to the proper path. In a similar way, the Christians are also
Hindus. But instead of recognizing the oneness with this great
culture based on virtue (Dharma), they are indulging in illicit forced
religious conversion to propagate foreign concepts, which are

16
devoid of virtue (Adharma) and we have no other way but to block
these attempts.
If we don’t protect Hindu society then Hindu culture, Hindu
tradition and Hindu nation will not survive. But, one should
understand that in the process of protecting Hindu society, there is
no ill-will, hatred or revenge towards others. As Lord Krishna
mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita, we should fight without hatred.
We should have a protective force to defend Hindu culture by
resisting attempts by those indulging in religious strife, but we
should not develop any personal hatred or clash with them.
Hindutva is not against Muslims or Christians. There is no need to
have any conflict with them. But we should build a society which
doesn’t get attacked by others. Once it is built, those who have
been opposing will recognize that they are also part of this society
and are part of the same culture.
Muslims and Christians living here don’t need to change
their mode of worship or religious customs. But, they need to
respect the culture here and our ancestors who shaped it. In this
way, they should recognize themselves as Hindus. Then there won’t
be any problem.
Hindutva not only means humanism, universal thinking but
it is also our nationalism. It means, all the people living in this
country are hindus. When this oneness was forgotten, lot of
problems got created. Many land blocks got split from this country.
Gandhara, once part of India became Afganisthan. Pakistan was
formed in a similar manner. Wherever there was a fall in Hindutva,
that part has split away from the country. Hence to make sure this
country’s integrity is protected, Hindutva is essential. All modes
of worship/ religion, no matter how different they are can be
considered part of Hindu culture. This is because only Hindutva
recognizes oneness is variety. Hence, the thinking “Only my
religion is great and others are destined to hell” is not Hindutva.
Those who argue like this aren’t Hindus.
