The farce called “Secularism” & “Minority”
The farce called “Secularism” and “Minority”
About 200 Muslims in Agra came back to their original faith - Hinduism - on 8th Dec. 2014. The programme called “Ghar Vapsi” was organised by Dharma Jagran Samiti, an outfit of RSS/VHP.
Vishwa Hindu Parishad has been organising such Ghar Vapsi programmes for years. I too have participated in many such programmes, which are purely voluntary and peaceful. All legal formalities such as taking the consent of the person, signature of witnesses, filling up of form for declaration in the govt. gazette etc., are complied with meticulously by the organisers. Where is the question of illegality or force here?
But our opposition, which has absolutely no issue to corner the Modi govt., took this opportunity to paralyse the Rajya Sabha because of their numbers. They shouted that our secularism is in danger. I fail to understand why the BJP members can not turn the table on the opposition on the question of “secularism”.
In fact, Indian secularism is a fraud on the nation perpetrated by the Nehruvian congress, with a view polarizing Muslim/Christian votes. They have been doing it successfully because the BJP has no guts to question the Congress, as BJP itself is vainly hoping to garner some of the Muslim and Christian votes.
The founding fathers of our constitution never thought of the need for the word ‘secular’ in our constitution. They made it a Hindu Constitution and included nearly twenty oil paintings in the original constitution - such as Kurukshetra, Lanka Vijay, Sita Udhar, Lord Natraj, etc. etc. They knew that HINDUTVA IS SECULARISM and hence there is no need to mention the word ‘secular’ in our constitution.
The word ‘secular’ was smuggled in to the preamble of our constitution by Smt. Indira Gandhi in 1976, during emergency when democracy was subverted and all the opposition leaders were put behind bars. This was done under the 42nd amendment to the constitution, without defining what ‘secular’ means.
However, when the Janata Party came to power in 1977, Prime Minister Morarji Desai wanted to repeal the said 42nd amendment, but could not do so due to short of numbers in the Rajya Sabha. (Please also refer to page no. 30 for additional reading).
I want to question the champions of secularism - what was the status of our nation between 1947 and 1976 (when the word ‘secular’ was inserted)? Was it a Islamic Nation, Christian Nation or Hindu Nation? When the founding fathers of our constitution did not feel the need to include the word ‘secular’ in the preamble to our constitution, why did Indira Gandhi insert the word? Was she more clever and intelligent than the framers of our constitution? No, Indira Gandhi was just cunning, to usurp Muslim votes.
The real meaning of secularism is : non-interference of the government in the religious affairs of its citizen. In a multi-religious country like ours, we can say secularism means ‘respecting all religions and treating them equally’. But in reality, appeasing the ‘minorities’, at the cost of the majority, has come to mean ‘secularism’ in our country.
As the word ‘secularism’ is interpolated into the preamble of our constitution, the word ‘minority’ too is distorted by the Nehruvian Congress. The intention is the same - to scheme Muslims/Christians against Hindus.
Our Constitution does not define the word ‘Minority” too. However, Article 29 titled ‘Protection of interests of minorities’ says: “Any section of the citizens residing in the territory of India or any part thereof having a distinct language, script or culture of its own shall have the right to conserve the same”. Does it anywhere talk about religion? Then how did religion come into the picture? Simple, the anti-Hindu Nehruvian Congress distorted this Article to appease Muslims and Christians, taking the Hindus for a ride.
Further, Article 15 (1) of our constitution says: “The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them”. Then how did the National Commission for Minorities Act, 1992, which discriminates and divides the citizen on the grounds of religion, was passed by parliament. Is that Act not unconstitutional?
On this subject, I have written to the Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi on 17th Nov. 2014 (Refer to Hindu Voice, Dec. 2014). I have still not received an acknowledgment. I have also written to the Union Minister of Minority Affairs, Dr. Najma Heptulla, on 18th Dec. 2014 (Refer to page no. 10).
The word ‘secularism’, inserted on a sly by Indira Gandhi, should be deleted from our constitution. Hindutva is the guarantee for secularism. As long as Hindus are in a majority, democracy, freedom and secularism will not only survive but also thrive in India, as it did during 1947-1976.
Instead of correcting the historical wrongs done by the Nehruvian Congress (as Shri Morarji Desai tried to do in 1977), Modi govt. too is perpetrating them. Hence there is substance in the accusation that the Modi govt. is no different from the UPA.
The opposition leaders who are pretending to be the guardians of secularism are hypocrites. Their concern is that those who leave Islam and Christianity were their vote banks, who will now shift their loyalty to BJP.
In the 2014 parliamentary elections, 31% Hindus voted for Modi. But Modi seems to be eagre to appease and court the 69% who voted against him, taking the 31% for granted, even compromising on party’s core ideologies (Refer to page 12). Any way, let Modi mind his business of ‘development’ and not bother about such Ghar Vapsi programmes (which in turn are going to benefit his own party).
The PM or the BJP has no right to give instructions to RSS/VHP or any Hindu organisations as to what they should and should not do, as long as what they do is legal and peaceful. Ghar Vapsi programmes are going on for many years and should continue till every Hindu who has strayed away from Sanatan Hindu Dharm wants to
come back on his own volition.
