Shun the "fear" and awake
Wherever I go and meet my fellow Hindus and discuss topics like protecting our Sanatana Dharma in some I see a strong dislike to further the discussion and in others I get a supportive nod and that is it. The later bunches are the people whom I call "entitled" and I guess we can live with these people. But the former are the people who are all out to erode our great culture.
I would hesitate to call these people "ignorant", but rather these are the bunch of people who don’t want to get their hands "dirty" and are "afraid". The word "afraid" does not go well with most of them and would clearly defend projecting that they are not "afraid" but want "peace". I don’t understand what "peace" are we talking about here when the "opposite" side does not believe in dialog. Assuming that the word "afraid" may not be exactly correct, then is it that these people are not "confident", not "confident" of how best we can protect our dharma or even worse, what our dharma actually is? Well, I believe that this is a strong fallout of the upbringing and education that we have discussed to a fair extent here. Our target should be here. We need to work hard towards bringing about a large-scale intellectual awakening and "empowering" the Hindu minds which will be our ultimate savior. The colonial and Islamic overlords have taken lot of pains to bring about a strong separatism within the Hindu fold by further inculcating the already existing social evils and making it a part of Sanatana Dharma, but yet we Hindus need to stay united and get connected with an strong feeling for our great culture and heritage the connector being Sanatana Dharma, which is already in place, except that we need to tighten it in a few places.
The foremost requirement is that a few "tigers" need to take the initiative in bringing about this large scale awakening, it is time we shun this idiotically oriented "tolerant" and "fear" tag and have our opinions expressed freely in every forum we enter. We need to take the initiative where ever we get an opportunity to explain to our fellow brothers and sisters on the atrocities being committed and inculcate into them a strong sense of responsibility as an "individual contributor" towards a movement which focuses on the ultimate goal of protecting our great culture and dharma.
It does take some effort to cure a person from the disease called "pseudo-secularism", but let me assure you my friends, that your efforts will not go waste in the long run. We must use all possible mediums to achieve our goal.
