SILCHAR, Feb 5: Hindus today are more organized and resurgent to take on challenges at the regional and national levels, said RSS supremo KS Sudarshan, while addressing a citizens meet in the Gandhi Bhavan auditorium here last evening. He was referring to the mass agitation of Hindus in Jammu for restoration of land of the Amarnath Shrine Board and for preservation of the mythological Ram Setu.

The outcry against the destruction of Setu was so wide and deep, as he said, that the centre had to withdraw the affidavit with distorted facts submitted before the Supreme Court.
This Hindu resurgence could also be seen in the movement for Ram Temple for which all necessary infrastructure works are going on. Once the verdict of Allahabad High Court comes out, he said it would take just two and half years to build the temple.

Echoing the words of Vivekananda, every Indian feels proud to be called a Hindu. KS Sudarshan called upon Hindus to emulate the great saint and seer. The only thing lacking is leadership initiative. He at the same time pointed out that the Christians and the Muslims totally differ from the Hindus and adopt aggressive posture whenever Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed are berated. The print media carrying their pictures in bad taste had to apologise.

It is the Hindu philosophy or way of life that makes India as a whole a nation built on human and moral values, he pointed out. Western philosophy is one of conflict and ambiguity that brings the orient and the accident in clash. Descartes, Marx, Copernicus, John Kepler, to name a few, according to him spoke of life and its philosophy at variance from one another in contrast to our philosophy of entire humanity where there is absolute assimilation of body, mind, soul and wisdom.

Sudarshan was constrained to say the nation of ours has passed through the centuries of ecstasy and agony, no doubt, but the present scenario is painful in the sense that linguistic chauvinism and jingoism are exploited for narrow political gains, debunking the great ideal of a united nation with universal sense of oneness.

There is no place for dictums like struggle for existence or survival of the fittest in Hindu philosophy which preaches greatest happiness for the greatest number. This has been the concept from the ages of Vedas which has also gone into the making of our education, economy and polity. Mahabharata speaks of Gandhari and Vidura as political advisors based on rhishi dharma.

Present political and democratic system is in mess with 749 political parties active in the country. Only 125 of them delve themselves direct in politics. Since 1989, he said elections have become an annual feature, telling sadly on the body polity of the nation. Varna system is also being misused by vested interests which is based not on class distinction but on merit, he pointed out.

Time has come to imbibe and follow Hindu chintan dharama where Hindus, Christians and Muslims share the same destiny. Christians and Muslims, he said, at point of time were Hindus and they could not be treated as minority. Jews and Parsis are outsiders as they came to India form other parts of the world. He summed up his nearly two hour long speech by exhorting the countries of the world to unite and save it from holocaust as the possibility of third world war looms large. source: sentinel assam
