Today, it is a sin for a Hindu to be calling himself a Hindu. Why? Because immediately, the secular forces will gang up and brand you as communal. So, any attempts to revive or nourish the Vedic culture are immediately met with chants of ‘saffron’ terror.
In short, an atmosphere has been successfully created in the nation whereby a Hindu is made to feel apologetic for his beliefs. And this atmosphere is constantly being strengthened not only by the pseudo-seculars but also by the media abroad.
The following is an excerpt from an editorial in the New York Times.
It says: “The plain truth is that India is being rived by hatred and held hostage to the intolerant demands of some Hindu hard-liners. This is not the India a vast majority of Indian citizens want and it is not an India that will attract the foreign investment that Mr. Modi has worked hard to drum up on his many trips abroad.”
One fails to understand the problem of these Americans. Obama is welcomed as a guest to India and given the grandest ever welcome of his existence.
What does he do? Throwing all courtesy to the winds, he leaves with a lecture on tolerance. He followed it up with another sermon in the US. And now, the New York Times. Clearly, these guys are taking our hospitality and good intents as a sign of weakness.
When blacks are being murdered on a daily basis by trigger-happy white cops in the US, it is indeed a bit of a joke that the NYT does not advise Obama or Obama himself does not bother to alleviate the anxiety among the blacks.
In fact, when Modi went to the US recently, he should have spoken on the issue of blacks being shot by the cops, just to see what Obama’s reaction would have been like. This does not mean that we will support crimes against minorities back home.
But the problem is that the media is making a mountain out of a molehill and bringing disrepute to the establishment and country.
As for the question of foreign investment stopping because of religious intolerance in India, the NYT would do well to remember that India has been existing since ages and was a flourishing country even before Columbus mistakenly stumbled upon a piece of land which he actually thought was India.
India thrives on spirituality, not on foreign investment. That is why; even the poorest of the poor in India have a sense of inner peace that is lacking among the richest in America.
So, the editor of the NYT would do well to take all the investment of the US which they intend to invest in India and shove it up…..(guess he knows where!)
