Dada to counter Didi


Former President Pranab Mukherjee has been invited to be the chief guest at the valedictory function of the Sangh Shiksha Varg -- a training camp for RSS volunteers -- at its headquarters in Nagpur.
                
                      



The event is scheduled to be held on June 7th 2018
What makes Dada ‘Eligible’ for the Honor
  • ·          Former President of India
  •        Hindu
  • ·         Brahmin
  • ·         Clean Image
  • ·         Veteran Politician
  • ·         Bengali
  • ·         Respected
  • ·         Wise Head….etc

In short his association will definitely add a lot of value to the Political Aspirations of RSS and BJP
If we read between the lines he could be a Trump card for BJP’s dream to acquire power in West Bengal the Fortress of Didi Mamata Banerjee.
We must appreciate Pranabda for accepting the Invite gracefully…we need to acknowledge the fact that he is free to take his decisions irrespective of the fact that he has been a Congress man for a majority period of his Political career.
At the same time we must have faith in his wisdom to conduct himself with utmost dignity in the Fortress of ‘Hindutva’, irrespective of the fact that he is a staunch ‘Secular’ INDIAN.
With whatever little knowledge I have…I can bet he will impart some valuable lessons to the Siksha Varg of Shakha, who has deviated itself from the true essence of Hinduism and is carrying the vicious agenda of Hindutva.
Kudos to Congress Leadership which has come in support to Pranab da’s decision.

             





What is Hinduism? How is it different from Hindutva?
  • ·        Hinduism is the world’s oldest religion, according to many scholars, with roots and customs dating back more than 4,000 years.
  • ·         Hinduism is the third-largest religion behind Christianity and Islam. Roughly 95 percent of the world’s Hindus live in India. Because the religion has no specific founder, it’s difficult to trace its origins and history.
  • ·        Hinduism is unique in that it’s not a single religion but a compilation of many traditions and philosophies.
  • ·        Hinduism embraces many religious ideas. For this reason, it’s sometimes referred to as a “way of life” or a “family of religions,” as opposed to a single, organized religion.

On the other hand Hindutva is a Political agenda
·         Hindutva ("Hinduness"), a term popularised by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in 1923, is the predominant form of Hindu nationalism in India.
·         The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) adopted it as its official ideology in 1989. It is championed by the Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and its affiliate organisations, notably the Vishva Hindu Parishad, along with the older term Hindu Rashtra (translation: Hindu nation).
·         Many Indian social scientists have described the Hindutva movement as fascist, adhering to the concept of homogenised majority and cultural hegemony.[ Some Indian social scientists, as well as the Hindutva movement, dispute those descriptions.
·         On 2 January 2017, the Supreme Court of India declined to reconsider its 1995 judgment, which defined Hindutva as "a way of life and not a religion".
  



Hindutva or Hindu Nationalism wants Uniform Civil Code….what happens to the population that has been following other Religious Faiths?
Are the Hindus willing to accept Fascism?
Is Nationalism limited to Hinduness?
Are we ready to accept Manuvaad?

Be honest to yourself and think where is India going…..signing off as a Secular INDIAN
