“That day is not far when a Hindu will become the President of United States Of America.”

The above statement will sound useless if said by a random person but the statement is made by one of the most powerful men on the earth, so we just couldn’t ignore it.

Yes, America’s former President Barack Obama said this in his last press conference as President of the United States. Considering the authenticity of his personality we cannot deny the seriousness of this matter.

Well! the former US president did not make this statement in the air. The seriousness of his statement was seen during the swearing-in ceremony of President Donald Trump. We all remember that how his ceremony was dominated by Indian cultural programs.

There was a time when it was impossible for an Indian or Hindu to become the US president, but seeing the present scenario nothing seems impossible, yes it is quite tough and might take few more year to happen but it is not impossible. A large number of India are already living in the US and they have good interaction with the local people of US. From business to administration, Indians in the US are doing very well in various fields. Due to their behaviour and the amazing ability to assimilate them in any culture, Indian are very popular in the world.

On the other hand, as far as Indo-Americans are concerned, even the newly elected President Trump appreciated their contribution in the development of the United States during his presidential speech. Now, you can see how the former and even the present US president repeatedly praises the Indians and their contribution to America’s development. It also reveals the strength and popularity of Indians in the US

It is worth mentioning that in his last press conference in the White House, Obama addressing the American public said, “I hope that in the future, America’s President can be of any woman, Hindu, Jewish or Latin American community.”

While Obama was referring to all, he said that America offers equal opportunity to all. The person who has the ability to handle the biggest position should leave the race and caste behind and start working on the path of success.

Obama mentioning the particular word “Hindu” in his Farewell Speech is very important in itself. Well! let us tell you that by Hindu he meant it for all the Indians. That is, any Indian can become the President of America in the future. But they did not mention any Chinese or Arab origin for this.

It has been noticed recently that there has been a lot of change in the attitude of the American administration towards India and Hinduism.

This change has been seen in India since Modi formed his government in the centre. We really appreciate the way Modi has changed India’s image in a positive way. Today, all the nations see India as one of the strongest centres of power.

The celebration of all Hindu and Indian rituals and festivals in the white house is itself a very big thing.

HELP !!!! We are being ATTACKED by Pakistani ………………………. Kabootars 😛

A few days back the Gujarat Coast Guards caught a Pakistani Intruder, a Pigeon, at the Vadinar Marine.

Apparently the Coast Guard had been tracking this Pigeon for quite a few days and they finally caught it when he stopped at the jetty to have a drink of water.

The Pigeon was carrying a chip in one leg with “Benjing Dual” written on it and a Ring in the other leg with the number “28733”. One word “Rasul-UL-Allah” was written on its wing in Arabic language!!!

Enough to send Alarm Signals flying all across the coast, which reached till the Home Ministry and Rajnath Singh.

Our PM, Modi has ensured that National Security forces were deployed quickly and the Pigeon was taken into custody, though it protested furiously by flapping its wings 😀

If our drunk sources are to be believed, the Pigeon was then thoroughly Strip Searched by the ATS 😛

No wonder Devyani Khobragade plans to take a Morcha against the ATS!!! 😀

While the Jury is still out on what to do with the Pigeon, there have been varied reactions from everyone, if my sources are to be believed (which no one does, not even me 😉

One faction of the Indian Govt has alleged that this is a Pakistani ISI Attack due to the Arabic words while another faction claims that it’s a Chinese Infiltration because “Benjing” sounds a lot of “Beijing” and “Dual” might mean a Double Agent …. hmmmm!!

Subramanian Swamy however, claims that the Pigeon was actually a Viraat Hindu who was first converted into a Christian (hence the ring) and then converted into a Muslim (hence the Arabic words).

The Christian Rights Group has started a big protest against the government demanding why only minority Pigeons are being targeted while all the Pigeons near Siddhivinayak Temple are allowed to roam around freely !!! 😛

MIM Leader Owaisi went and made a fiery speech declaring this act as an open targeting of the Muslims!!!

Across the border, Bilawal Bhutto, has taken a press conference and said “We will get back the Pigeon and We will get back Kashmir too”!!!

While the Press tried hard to not let their cameras fall off while laughing 😀 😀

Smriti Irani has, however, declared that the Arabic Words on the wings were very unpatriotic. She has ordered that all Pigeons who fly in India will be allowed to have only Sanskrit words written on them!!!!

She is also planning to declare one of these days as the National Sanskrit Kabootar Day in all the schools with mandatory optional attendance.

The last I heard, she was debating on whether she should have it on Good Friday or Easter 😛

Yogi Adityanath has demanded custody of the Pigeon as they would like to do its Ghar Wapsi.

No, No!!! He doesn’t want to strip the Pigeon off his Ring and Paint over the Arabic words and declare him a Hindu, He just wants to send the poor Pigeon back home!!! Why don’t you guys ever believe that Yogi Adityanath can do something good huh?? 😛

Disclaimer: This post is not meant to offend the Pigeons, in any manner. We don’t want them shitting on our head every time we walk out 😛 As for others who might be offended …. Section 66a is off, so take a hike 😀

Imagine you are born as a Hindu and one fine day you realize you belong to another religion say Islam. As an idealist we say that all religions are same and we might even celebrate every occasion.

But to think of it if a person is used to going to a temple would find it extremely shocking when he would be obliged to read Quran. A girl wearing a ‘burqa’ all her life suddenly discovers that she is a Hindu; would she be fine wearing a saree?

Such is the case with ‘Dharam Pal’ played by Paresh Rawal in the upcoming movie Dharam Sankat Mein

The trailer of the film talks about the identity crisis of Dharam Pal when he discovers that he was born to a Muslim but was raised as a Hindu.

In this movie Naseeruddin Shah is going to be playing the character of Neel Anand Baba.

Don’t be surprised if this film also has to face the ban. After ‘OMG – Oh My God’ and ‘PK’ this is another satirical take on the religion and philosophy in India.

More than anything it is the ideology that is in question.

Is it a big deal to get accustomed to a different religion? Actually even if you aren’t much of a religious fanatic this religion shift would still give you an equal amount of stress.

Our country gets very sensitive when it comes to religion. In the name of faith people, organizations, parties, etc. carry out various religious politics.

This film comes in the wake of the ‘ghar-wapasi’ news. The mass conversion of many communities to Hinduism, ban on beef-eating, etc. have been making headlines.

Every party in power is linked to favor a community. When the Congress was in power the Muslim community was considered to be their biggest vote bank. Now with the Modi Govt. the extreme right-wing thoughts of Hindutva had been doing the rounds.

In a country of diverse cultures we are struggling to keep the peace. This movie is sure to challenge that same thought process and how religion has divided the country.

The post Dharam Sankat Mein – When Your Religion Becomes Your Identity!! appeared first on Youngisthan.in.

In an era when religious conversions, community fights, terrorism and mass killings especially between Hindus and Muslims are on the upsurge, it is time we remember the contributions towards nationalism and Hindutva by a pro-independence activist, a politician, revolutionary, writer, poet and playwright, Vinayak Damodar Savarkar or Veer Savarkar, as he is popularly known. Basically, his philosophy on Hindutva is based on Indianness or the cultural identity of an Indian.

When people say “Shiva was the first Paigambar” or “all hindus are born muslims” and vice-a-versa then this is probably the correct time to define a Hindu and who can be a better person then Swatantra Veer Savarkar, the man who coined the term Hindutva for explaining the true meaning of being a Hindu.

Veer Savarkar

On his 49^th death anniversary today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has paid tribute to him, tweeting that “he ignited the spark of nationalism in several lives.” Savarkar was the person who had coined the term ‘Hindutva’, as different from Hinduism that has more or less become related to social as well as political communalism. He was actively involved in reconverting converted Hindus back to Hindu religion and also made significant contributions towards eradicating and deconstructing caste system that had then gripped Indians like a strong wave ready to clamp them tight.

Hindutva – The Definition of a Hindu

Savarkar’s Hindutva was based more on creating a collective identity that is all inclusive of being pragmatic and rationalistic, humane, positive, realistic – philosophies of utilitarianism and universalism. Who is a Hindu in reality? Well, according to him, a Hindu is an Indian who considers India, from the peaks of Himalaya to the shores of Kanyakumari and from the ports of Gujarat to the tea estates of Assam, as his motherland, birth-land, work-land and spiritual-land (matrubhoomi, janmbhoomi, karmabhoomi and dharmabhoomi). In his words, “everyone who regards and claims this Bharatbhoomi from the Indus to the Seas as his Fatherland and Holyland is a Hindu.

Savarkar’s works on Hindu Nationalism

He was the first to start writing poems on the walls of jail and recite them, when he was imprisoned for fifty years in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in 1910 because of his connections with the revolutionary group called, India House. His book, The Indian War of Independence on the Indian rebellion of 1857, the Mutiny war had been banned by the British officials. In 1921, at his release from jail, he was asked to follow the condition that he will not be attached with any revolutionary activities. However, he did advocate political and social unity as an orator and writer forcefully voicing out his opinions and philosophies across the country, particularly working as the President of the Akhil Bharati Hindu Mahasabha and making India a ‘Hindu Rashtra’, even going to the extent of opposing the ‘Quit India Movement’ in 1942, advocating for ‘Quit India Keep Your Army’ movement.

Difference between Savarkar’s Hindutva and Divisive religious ideologies

Even in jail Savarkar worked towards describing Hindutva and enthusiastically embraced the Hindu nationalism. His ideological treatise, Hindutva: Who is a Hindu? while in Ratnagiri jail is a testimony to his dedication towards bringing positive religious and spiritual changes in the country, much related to throwing light on the true scrupulous character of the human race. His vision of Hindutva defines social and political consciousness of a Hindu saying that he is a ‘patriotic inhabitant of Bharatvarsha’, much beyond a mere religious identity. He even went ahead to claim that Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism are all one and even focussed on social and patriotic unity among all these Hindu communities.  For him, the Hindu community or race is not restricted to Aryans or Dravidians but of “people who live as children of a common motherland, adoring a common holyland.”

He is even the founder of Ratnagiri Hindu Sabha, working towards the social and cultural preservation of Hindu heritage and civilization. He aggressively promoted the use of Hindi as a national language and even voiced out his opinion against untouchability.

How Savarkar is Being Perceived and His Philosophy on Hindu-Muslim Unity/Division

However, it is unfortunate that people have claimed his philosophies to be divisive and preaching Hindu nationalism as being uniquely Indian, stating that he preached “militant Hindu nationalist speeches.” This is so, even though the airport at Andaman and Nicobar Islands is dedicated to Savarkar as it has

been named Veer Savarkar International Airport. Many scholars, historians and even politicians (especially from the Indian National Congress) have even proclaimed that Savarkar has implicitly criticised and discriminated against minority communities such as those of Muslims and Christians. Savarkar argued that the unity and political loyalty of Muslims have been under the scanner for a long time. He rather was against the partition of countries for Hindus and Muslims: “the two nations shall dwell in one country and shall live under the mantle of one single constitution.” He proclaims one man one vote concept for Hindus and Muslims where “a Muslim has no advantage which a Hindu does not have. Minority is to be no justification for privilege and majority is to be no ground for penalty.”

People who have similar beliefs like Savarkar

In 2014, Goa’s Deputy Chief Minister, Francis D’Souza had to apologize for his statement where he proclaimed that “he is a Christian Hindu.” He, being a Christian had stated that India will become a Hindu nation and will remain so under the leadership of Narendra Modi. While referring to Hindu, he however claimed that by Hindu he did not mean religion but his culture, his values and nationalism and Christianity, being only 2000 years old is his religion only.

All said and done, the fact remains that both the Constitution and the Supreme Court have accepted Savarkar’s ideologies and principles on Hindutva as the true meaning and definition of a Hindu.

All those who consider India as there motherland are Hindu – Veer Savarkar! On your 49^th death anniversary, we bow to you and salute you for your immense and unparalleled contribution to Indian Independence movement and towards changing people’s stringent mind-sets.
