Hindu Forum of Dallas wants India to top the list of Intolerant Nations

DEALING WITH INTOLERANCE OF HINDU HERITAGE FORUM


While Modi is committed to fixing the ills of India, these men are determined to derail the Modi train, unless we dialogue with them, the journey becomes difficult for every one.  I am willing to take the lead and hope my Hindu, Muslim, Dalit, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Jain friends will join me in the dialogue. I believe 90% of the Signatories of the GHHF letter are good people, signing the letter blindly.

First,  let's see how India and Pakistan compete for the # 1 spot, both in  goodness and ugliness.

Years ago, a joke went out that India Bribed Pakistan to keep the # 1 spot for the most Bribed nation, the Pakistanis switched the Joke on India.

India explodes nuclear test in Pokhran, Pakistan follows

Pakistan led in honor killing statistics, but then India beats Pakistan in Honor Killing.

Now Pakistan will beat India in Rapes. I pray both nations to reign in on these criminals. 

India leads in female baby murders, Pakistan is way behind.

Both Nations have the lousy dowry system. Indian Mother-in-Laws and ugly husbands will douse the woman in kerosene and burn her, don't know what they do in Pakistan.

A recent article compared Nawaz Shariff and Narendra Modi, and their style of governance etc..

A friend wrote, "According to the Pew Report on Global Restrictions on World Religions, India has the 2nd highest rate of social hostilities against religious minorities in the world, next only to Pakistan...and it's not a onetime affair. India has been competing with Pakistan on the number one spot for the last 5 years. In 2008, it even snatched the Religious Hostilities Cup from Pakistan to become the world champion. "

Thanks to GHHF- the Global Hindu heritage Foundation out of Frisco, Texas for posting their 2nd letter at Dallas Indians, if Modi considers even tenth of their recommendation, which I seriously doubt, then India can beat Pakistan in extremism and religious intolerance. 

Solution 

I hope I am not wrong, but I believe Modi will put an end to corruption, rape terrorism,  honor killing, female infanticide, disrespect for women, and most certainly communal riots. Let's pray for his success in these areas.

Bad things will continue to happen, as long as good men will do nothing about it.  What we need to do is call these men at GHHF, their phone numbers are listed below, and ask them to show it to their adult children who are born and raised in America, even if half the kids approve of this, I will back off. Is that fair?

If these men are reasonable, I would like to call on them and have a meeting.  I know for a fact that, of the 50 or so signatories below - 90% would not subscribe to this ideology -we will have to have a long dialogue with the 5%  of them, and pray that God will give them some sense. I will take that step.  How many of my Hindus friends will join me?

These men at GHHF bring shame to India's rich heritage

Imagine a repulsive bill pending in the house, America is a Christian Nation and has 80% Christians and they should dictate the terms to others. 

1.  Demanding Hindus, Muslims, Jews and others to place a cross in the sanctuary of their places of worship.

2. Force Hindus, Muslims and others to start their day with a pledge to serving Jesus to prove their loyalty to America

3. Print new currency notes and coins with the picture of "Jesus Christ"

4. Demand Hindus, Muslims and others to worship Jesus to prove their loyalty, or else go back to their countries.

5. Make it compulsory for every Citizen to pledge allegiance to America and not India, as they have renounced their citizenship, if they want to retain it, then leave America or live here as a 2nd class Citizen. 

6. Ban the word Minority and take away all the rights of Hindus, Muslims and others.

Here is the actual GHHF Letter.

How to make Bharath a Hindu Rashtra by "Hindu Voice."

GHHF is very happy to endorse the letter that was sent to Sri Narendra Modi and support all the points written by Sri Deivamuthu to make Bharath a Hindu Rashtra. This is a very powerful, thought out letter containing numerous points highlighting the richness of Sanatana Dharma. To preserve the ideals of Vasudaika Kutumbum and embrace the inclusive philosophy, not exclusive, that brings all people together irrespective of religion, caste and creed. Contribution to humanity through science, morals, ethics, art, philosophy, yoga, meditation, scriptures, and ahimsa addressed by Hindus is unparalleled in the annals of history. We have to revers the course of action that was hateful to Hindutva must be reversed. It is high time that all Hindus express their views with one voice demanding the needed changes in the constitution where every citizen is given equal opportunities to contribute to their fullest to articulate the meritocracy to take Bharath to highest levels of human achievement. All barriers such as minority reservations, article 370, article 28, minority educational institutions, atrocities act, dowry act, school curriculum and others that impede the progress must be removed to make the way for unbridled freedom to flower.

            We print the letter of Sri P. Deivamuthu as was sent to the Prime Minister.

My Letter to PM on Simple ways to Hinduise Bharat
P. Deivamuthu, Editor, Hindu Voice
(This letter was sent by Speed Post on 28th May 2014)


27th May 2014
Shri Narendra ModiJi
Prime Minister of India
Gujarat Bhavan, New Delhi 110001

Dear Prime Minister, Modiji, Pranaam.

Sub: Simple ways to Hinduise Bharat

At the outset, let me congratulate you for leading the BJP to a grand victory, and becoming the first non-Congress Prime Minister of our nation with a clear majority. Your oath taking ceremony on 26th May was indeed grandeur, with the presence of many Hindu saints and RSS leaders.

Hindu Voice, a Monthly in English and Hindi, is not unknown to you. Directorate of Information, Govt. of Gujarat, is a Life Member of Hindu Voice. Copies are also posted to you personally. You have also conveyed your Best Wishes to Hindu Voice, many years ago, vide your letter dated 7th March 2003.

Hindu Voice has special relationship with Gujarat. It was launched in April 2002, in memory of the 58 Karsevaks burnt alive at Godhra on 27th Feb. 2002. Hindu Voice has been consistently campaigning for making you the PM candidate. In fact, in my editorial in Hindu Voice as early as June 2008, I had pleaded that you be declared as the PM candidate for the 2009 parliamentary election itself. I am happy that this has happened in 2014 and because of that we have got our Second Independence.

As the Editor of Hindu Voice, I have been propagating that Hindutva (Hinduism) is Rashtriyatuva (Nationalism), and Hindutva is the only unifying factor of all Indians. Hindutva  encompasses everything humanity stands for, including secularism and democracy. Hindutva is not divisive; it is inclusive. I am sure that most of our Muslim and Christian brothers too will agree on this fact. By electing BJP and its allies overwhelmingly, the people have confirmed my stand.

Therefore, more emphasis should be placed on Hindutva, so that our unity is further strengthened, and secularism and democracy thrive.

This will also be in accordance with our constitution. Our constitution bears the pictures of Sri Ram, Sri Krishna, Lord Natraj, Lord Mahavir, Lord Bhuddha, Vedic Yajna, Kurukshetra, GeetaUpadesh, Lanka Vijay and Sita Uddhar, etc. etc. Therefore, it is a Hindu Constitution.

Our Constitution Makers too were well aware that the identity of our Nation is Hindu. Vedic slogans like 'SatyamevaJayate', 'Satyam, Shivan, Sundaram', 'Dharma-Chakra-Pravartana', etc. were used by various Govt. Depts. Because it is a Hindu Nation, they felt, India was, is and will always remain 'secular'. Hence, they never felt the need for the word 'secular' in the preamble to our Constitution (which was inserted by Smt. Indira Gandhi during Emergency). Hindus, by nature, are secular, and Hinduism is perforce secularism.

Here are a few more proofs that India is a Hindu nation - legally, spiritually and culturally. Indian Satellites are named Aryabhata, Baskara, Rohini, etc. Our missiles are named Agni, Prithvi, Akash, etc. Our war ships are named INS Vikrant, Viraat, Vikramatitya, Godavari, Ganga, Brahmaputra, Shivalik, Abhay, Sarayu, Sukanya, Varuna, Tarangini, etc. Our Submarines are named Sindhudhvaj, Sindhughosh, Sindhuratna, etc. Our battle tanks are named Arjun, Bhishma, Ajeya, etc. All the above names are associated with Hindu culture. If one enters into the BARC Complex at Trombay (Mumbai), one is pleasantly surprised to find that all the multi-storey buildings there are named Aruna, Varun, Godavari, Kaveri, Ganga, Yamuna, Saraswati, Prayag, Narmada, etc. - all our sacred rivers.

However, the Nehruvian Congress had not only tried to hide these Hindu spiritual and cultural elements in our constitution, but had tried to drain the nation of its spiritualism and culture. It was trying to detach this nation from its Hindu roots and make India into an adharmic (dharma-nirpeksh) state. Hence it had spread a canard that Hinduism is communal and only minorities are secular, which led to divisiveness in the society. This anomaly has to be set right and the nation has to be brought to its Hindu moorings, which is its soul.

Now that you have made India Congress-free and there is a radically transformed environment in the nation, there needs to be a paradigm shift in your Govt.'s approach towards 'secularism' and 'communalism', in letter and spirit. Your Govt. should recognise the spiritual and cultural sentiments of the people and our Constitution Makers, and hinduise Bharat. Muslims and Christians need not fear. There will be complete religious freedom in a Hinduised Bharat, but their loyalty to Bharat should be beyond doubt.

While development and good governance is important, which I am sure you will provide, the need for national integration is of paramount importance. Going to a Temple, Mosque or Church is a personal choice, but every one should be absolutely loyal to Mother India. We have had enough of Nehruvian Secularism and Macaulayism. Now, let the country get back to its civilisational roots. Hence, you should take the following steps to Hinduise Bharat.

Your Govt. should proclaim and propagate that (a) India was, is and will be a Hindu nation, citing the above examples, (b) Hindutva (Hinduism) is Nationalism (Rashtriyatva) and not communalism, as the Nehruvian Congress has made us to believe; (c) Hinduism is a Way of Life, as confirmed by our Supreme Court, and is not against any religion; (d) any act done in the name of Hinduism is not communal; It is just national, and conforms to our constitution, and (e) the survival of secularism and democracy, and the unity and integrity of India is directly related to the preservation and growth of Hinduism.

            The following simple methods will make India a truly Hindu nation - in other words more secular and democratic - without in any way altering the basic features of our Constitution.



1.     Print new currency notes and coins with the picture of "Maa Laxmi", replacing Mahatma Gandhi's picture. Hindus identify money with Devi Laxmi. So, befitting that sentiment, it is natural that MaaLaxmi's picture should appear on all currency notes and coins. Withdraw all old notes.

    The UPA Govt. had brought out coins embossing the picture of Sister Alphonsa, Cross, Vaishnav Devi. etc. So there is no legality involved in putting the picture of Maa Laxmi on currency notes. This will also solve the black money problem within the country. Also, the picture of Devi Laxmi will deter ISI from printing counterfeit notes in Pakistan.

2.     Make the slogans 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' compulsory for every citizen, to ensure their absolute loyalty to India - Indian first and Hindu, Muslim, Christian later. These were the slogans which kindled nationalist feelings amongst Indians and brought them together during our freedom movement. They unite all Indians, irrespective of their caste, creed, language, religion and region.

    At the time of partition, BabasahebAmbedkar desired that there should be exchange of population - all Muslims must be sent to Pakistan - as Dr. Ambedkar knew that Islam and democracy can not co-exist. Dr. Rajendra Prasad desired that those Muslims who stayed back must be disenfranchised - no voting rights for Muslims.  While Babasaheb's suggestions are time-barred, we can implement Dr. Rajendra Prasad's suggestions and weed out those who say 'I am a Muslim/Christian first, Indian later'. Any one refusing to say  'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' should be disenfranchised. The application form to enrol new voters should carry an undertaking to this effect. Also, these slogans should be made compulsory for every Govt.  employee.

3.     Make the singing of our National Anthem - Jana Gana Mana, and ending it with 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' - compulsory for all candidates at the time of filing their nomination papers for MPs and MLAs.  If any one fails or refuses to sing Jana Gana Mana, ending it with 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram', his nomination should be rejected. Otherwise, we cannot stop a Pervez Musharraf, Dawood Ibrahim or an Abu Salim from fighting election, and may even become the PM.

4.     Similarly, at the time of taking oath by MLAs, MPs, Ministers, CMs, PM, and President, they should say at the end 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram'. Refusing to say so will disqualify him from holding that position.

5.     Ban the word 'minority'. No where in the world, citizens are divided in to 'minority' and 'majority' on the basis of religion. (Are Hindus/Muslims settled in USA, UK, Canada, etc. called minorities there?) Our Constitution too prohibits the word 'Religious minority'. In fact, it was a distort by our Nehruvian Congress with vote bank consideration. We are all Indians, with equal rights and duties. Going to a temple, mosque or church is one's personal choice.

6.     This will naturally bring us to the 'National Minority Commission Act of 1992' - an act meant to divide the Indian society. This act itself is unconstitutional. It ultra vires Article 15 (1) of our constitution. ("The State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them"). It goes without saying that the appointment of the Sachchar Committee is also unconstitutional.

7.     Bring in an "Endangered Civilization Protection Act" to save Sanatan Hindu Dharm, Hindu civilization, Hindu practices, Hindu believes, Hindu scriptures, our heritage, culture and traditions, and to stop conversion.

8.     Give Moral Policing Powers to some of our Hindu Organisations. To protect villagers from Maoists, SalvaJudum was created, in Chttisgarh. Similarly, to protect and preserve Hindu Dharm, Believes, practices, scriptures, culture, tradition, etc. moral/cultural policing rights should be given to selected Hindu Organisations and Ashrams. Their members, working in tandem with the local police, should have the power to stop any one from demeaning or tarnishing Hindu Gods, Hindu Way of Life, Hindu culture, Hindu scriptures, etc., arrest them and hand them over to the Police for further action. They can also identify infiltrators and hand them over to the police for deportation.

9.     Make the lighting of our traditional lamp at every Govt. function compulsory. Any one refusing to light the lamp must be disqualified. Similarly, all Govt. offices should perform "SatyanarayanPooja", once in a year. It is purely scientific as Yagna purifies the atmosphere.

10.     Bring a new law to declare any one as persona non grata, who intentionally - insults our National Anthem;  refuses to say 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram'; shouts Pakistan Jindabad; insults our security forces; burns our National flag; spews venom in the name of religion and castes; talks of dividing India; supports giving away any part of India; talks of human rights for terrorists; etc. Their voting rights and fundamental rights must be forfeited, and they be allowed to just subsist.

11.     All the criminals in jail, especially those arrested for terrorist activities, must be forced to do Yoga for one hour every day morning. They must also be given religious discourse every day evening for two hours, by different Hindu sadhus. This will reform 80% of the criminals.

12.     Remove all religious subsidy. No Islamic country gives subsidy to Haj. Giving subsidy to Haj and Jerusalem is against secularism. Also scrap all reservations on religious basis.
13.     Bring in Uniform Civil Code, with provisions that any one having more than one wife or more than three children will be debarred from standing for election.

14.     Ban Slaughter of Cow and its progeny, and give incentive to Cow Rearing (Go Palan). When a cow bears a calf, the person who maintains the cow should be given a lump sum as incentive.

15.     Give incentive to VedPatshalas and Sanskrit learning. Schools teaching Sanskrit and students learning Sanskrit should be given incentive. Incentive being given to Arab learning should be withdrawn. We do not want to spread Arab culture in India.

16.     Pave the way for building a magnificent Ram Temple in Ayodhya, and also for reconstructing temples in Mathura and Kashi.

17.     Vedic slogans like 'SatyamevaJayate', 'Satyam, Shivan, Sundaram', 'Dharma-Chakra-Pravartana', etc. must be restored with
its original glory. Every govt. stationery should carry the slogan 'SatyamevaJayate'. DD logo should include 'Satyam, Shivan, Sundaram', and the Chair of Lok Sabha speaker should bear 'Dharma-Chakra-Pravartana'. All these vedic slogans were removed by the Nehruvian Congress.

18.     Review laws governing Hindus, which tries to destroy Hindu family institution. For example, the Domestic Violence Act, 2005, trivializes Hindu marriages as Civil Contracts and promotes live-in relationship. It also ridicules the spiritual and cultural significance and sacredness of Hindu marriages. We worship women as goddesses - Laxmi, Saraswati and Durga - and also Arthanareeshwar for giving half of his body to his spouse. Such a spiritualism and culture cannot be allowed to be hijacked in the name of women empowerment.

19.     Shiv Sena supremo late BalasahebThackrey and Shri Subhash Desai (present MLA, Goregaon, Mumbai) were debarred from voting for six years, for asking for votes in the name of Hindutva. Why no Muslim or Christian is similarly debarred for asking for votes in the name of Allah and Jesus Christ, which they wantonly do? This must be reversed. Asking for votes in the name of Hindutva or Hinduism is no offence, as it is a way of Life according to our Supreme Court. Conversely, Make asking for votes in the name of Allah and Jesus Christ an offence.

20.     Ban the use of Loudspeaker in Mosques and Churches. In a secular country claiming to respect all religions, shouting publicly that 'There is no God except Allah' and 'Jesus is the only Saviour' is preposterous.

21.    Your Govt should free Hindu Mandirs from govt. control. Also the Govt. should provide basic facilities at all Hindu Pilgrimage sites and River Ghats (such as Wash rooms, bahrooms, change rooms, etc.)

22.     Change the name of our Motherland to 'Bharat' by removing the ambiguity in the Constitution and the word 'India'. Also, change names of all places and roads - like Allahabad, Aurangabad, Ahmedabad, Aurangzeb Road, St. Xavier Road, etc. - with that of our freedom fighters.

23.     Change the weekly holidays from Sunday to Monday or Tuesday. {The timing of presenting Indian budget in parliament was changed from5.30 pm (which was continued by the Nehruvian Congress, to suit Britishers) to 11.00 am by the NDA Govt.}.

24.     Change the school uniform of girl students - from Skirts (meant for Christian nuns) to Salvar-Kamis with Thuppatta.

After winning the elections, your visiting Kashi and performing pooja and Ganga Aarthi there (on 17th May) proudly sporting the sacred ash and tilak on your forehead, in the full glare of the TV is indeed a bold message to the nation that you are a Hindu Nationalist. Your bowing before parliament and placing your forehead on its steps (on 20th May), exactly like Hindu devotees do before a entering temple, proves that you are showing the nation of its Hindu ethos. Please extend this further and Hinduise Bharat by implementing the above suggestions.

If you implement even some of my above suggestions during the first few years of your Prime Ministership, I am sure the entire nation will remain indebted to you. A Hinduised Bharat will vote for you to be its PM for at least another two terms.

Thanking you and wishing you a long inning as PM,

Yours, In the Services of Bharat Mata

Amazing Mindset of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation of Dallas

THE AMAZING MINDSET OF A FEW HINDU DOCTORS OF DALLAS, THEY WANT  TO DENY EQUAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO INDIAN CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS.    
 
URL - http://mikeghouseforindia.blogspot.com/2014/05/amazing-mindset-of-global-hindu.html
# # #

As an Indian committed to building a cohesive India, where no Indian has to live in fear of the other, I was alarmed at the following posting at DallasIndians@yahoogroups.com,  by a member of the GHHF (Global Hindu Heritage Foundation), it was shocking to see it coming from Indians living in America, and most of them are M.D.'s and PhD's.

Individuals are the source of all problems as well as goodness. No matter how extreme an organization is, a majority of them do not subscribe to the extremes, only a few hard core among them do, and if they know how disturbing their ideology is, or if they are aware of their extremism, most of them will peddle out of it.

I have consistently questioned the extreme ideology espoused by a few in Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. All claim to be religions of peace and justice - did they not get their religion right? Unless more and more of us question it, they assume we have given them the permission to project their respective religion as it suits them.

Now, the Hindu majority needs to consider if they have given permission or would approve of the GHHF letter, as a representation of Hinduism?

The letter has a few good points that need to be addressed; one of them is for Government of India to relinquish management of the Hindu Temples to the local Hindus.

Most Indians will endorse their appeal, "No mention of any religion in any legislation, appropriations, and reservations. Amend the Constitution to include Spiritual with no preference to any religion and caste." They need to know, that Muslims, Christians and other minorities don't need any handouts, subsidies or bloody appeasement, to be fact-full, they never had any. All they want is to be equal citizens with equal access, opportunity and justice in employment, housing and governance" The signatories of appended document are all Americans by citizenship, and I am sure they do not want to be reduced to 2nd class citizens in America.

Minority protection and quota should continue with a reduced percentage. The blatant bias of signatories against Muslims and Christians is obvious; neither group wants any handouts but just equal opportunities. However, the OBS, SC and ST need to be lifted up; we have done wrong to them for centuries and we have been disrespectful towards them,  and GHHP's call to deny them their right is downright shameful, and it is coming from Indians living in America with all the privileges and equal rights.

Anti-conversion laws go against the freedom of an individual and the very idea of Vasudhaiva Kutumbukum and freedom of speech - these phrases were used in the letter without a rudimentary understanding of its meaning. No damn government should tell you, me or anyone what you can eat, drink, wear or believe in the pursuit of your happiness, as long as you do not rob others food, space and hurt the loved ones. Can it be as simple as this?

Our (India’s) model of governance should be a model for others to follow. Unfortunately, almost all the nations that are labeled religious, be it Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Buddhist or others have nothing but problems. The most troubled nations in the world are the ones carved out based on religion; Pakistan and Israel.

Most of the signatories on this Memorandum are Indian Americans, and I would like them to think what if America declares itself a Christian Nation, as they are demanding India to declare itself a Hindu Rashtra?  80% of this nation is Christian, and they can do it, just a 80% of Indians are Hindus with moderate majorities, but neither will do it, because it goes against the decency of being human, none of us want to be like Saudi Arabia or Iran.  Why are these guys wanting India to go backwards? Let us be the models others love to emulate.

If  America goes into the hands of right wing Christians, they will  ban building Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and other religious places of worship. Remember, it has happened – right here in Murphy, Texas,  they refused to give a permit to build a Hindu temple, indeed, when another Temple was being built in Frisco about seven years ago, I had called the then Mayor Mike Simpson to not let anyone come in the way and get the permit to build the temple.

You can take it, if America were to become a Christian Nation, not only Hindus, but all others will have difficulty – we all will be compelled to say Christian Prayers against our will…. our kids will be praying Christian prayers... this is a thoughtless letter, and is a can of worms.

I am trying to understand the mind set of Indians (a few) in America to think in those terms as written up in the letter from Global Hindu Heritage forum.

This is what the fanatics and extremist will do, if we let a nation defined by its religion.

We don’t want bigots like Senator Williams -http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-ghouse/senator-williams-offend-hindus_b_1075392.html

or Russian Bigotry - http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2011/12/bigotry-against-hinduism-in-russia.html

 or Against Yoga http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2010/11/texas-faith-should-christians-and-other.html

Or Robert Jeffress http://theghousediary.blogspot.com/2011/10/pastor-robert-jeffress-and-his-bigotry.html

There is a whole lot at: http://standingupforothers.blogspot.com/2012/04/standing-with-hindus.html

All I see in this note from Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is hatred for Muslims and Christians. For the first time in 67 years, we have a man who claims to believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbukum, and looking for sab ka sath, sab ka Vikas, why can't you guys think like that?  We need to build our lives first. Modi will not buy into this letter.

It is not Hinduism, Islam or Christianity, it is a few people who want chaos for the claps they get, or encouragement or some other gains they will have. We have nearly 100,000 Indians in Dallas/ Fort worth, I can bet, no more than 1000 will subscribe to this - that is about 1/10th of 1% - that statistics is prevalent in all groups - the other 99.99% have to speak up.

The following letter is really anti-Hindu ideals, in the name of Hinduism.

I understand, most of you who have signed this may not really have read it, certainly, RK Panditi will not subscribe to this kind of thinking, and if he does, that is his choice. We are all free to believe in whatever we want.

I hope a few responsible individuals speak up and not give the impression that all sane Hindus endorse this.

Dear Friends:

The following Memorandum was sent in February 2014 to Sri Narendra Modi, the then PM Candidate and Dr. Subramanian Swamy for their consideration. Now the country has elected the Prime Minister with such overwhelming majority, we hope that these items listed in the Memorandum will be considered, adopted and implemented for the preservation of Sanatana Dharma that has sustained the Bharath for thousands and thousands of years. Let us all work with determination and passion to restore the glory, grandeur and richness of Hindu dharma that embraced the philosophy of inclusiveness and adopted the ideology of vasudhaika kutumbam.

Honorable Sri Narendra Modi

BJP Candidate for Prime Minister; New Delhi, India

Dear Sri Modi:

After a study of some forty years and more of the great religions of the world, I find none so perfect, none so scientific, none so philosophical and no so spiritual that the great religion known by the name of Hinduism. Make no mistake; without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil in to which India's roots are stuck and torn out of that she will inevitably wither as a tree torn out from its place. And if Hindus do not maintain Hinduism, who shall save it? If India's own children do not cling to her faith, who shall guard it? India alone can save India and India and Hinduism are one. ~~~Annie Besant

It is the obligation of all Hindus to take the responsibility of preserving, maintain and protecting the Hindu edifice – that is being attacked by all sides. Hindus have to lit the Hindu torch to dispel the ignorance and spread the light and freedom Hinduism has enjoyed for centuries not only for them and for the entire humanity if it has to live in peace and happiness rather than terror and chaos. Irrespective of one’s political affiliation, all the political leaders, religious leaders and spiritual leaders have to work tirelessly to nourish the roots, protect the Hindu ethics, embrace the vasudaiva kutumba principle and restore the grandeur of Sanatana dharma that is the hall mark freedom of speech and beacon of peaceful coexistence. All Hindus must support, endorse and adopt the following agenda to restore pride among Hindus, root out terrorism, and create Hindu mindset to establish Hindutva in Bharat.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation [GHHF] is submitting these concerns to you and the leadership of BJP requesting you to act to revive the richness and grandeur of Sanatana dharma in Bharat. These are some of the concerns that are affecting Bharath. Unless all these issues are addressed, Bharath Mata will suffer unforeseen consequences. We may not see her the way we see today.

Declare India as Hindu Rashtra

Need to change the constitution to declare India as Bharat / Hindu Rashtra and make it into a Hindu Nation. Hindus need a Hindu Nation. Muslims have about 58 countries in their belt and vowed to make India an Islamic Country. Christians have all of Europe, Americas and other countries. Jews have Israel. Why Hindus cannot have a Hindu Nation?

Hindu Religious and Endowment Act

Repeal Hindu Religious and Endowment Act giving the religious freedom enshrined in the article 26 of the Indian Constitution.

All Hindu Temples should be given back to Hindus to manage their affairs the way the Christians and Muslims are allowed.

An Apex Committee consisting of Hindu spiritual and religious leaders should prepare white paper on the proper management of Hindu Temples with definite time lines.

All the Temple lands that were sold or auctioned should be recovered the respective Temples.

Religious leaders must be consulted on all major issues facing the Hindu Temples.

All the encroached Temple lands must be recovered.

All 2000 Hindu Temples that were converted to Mosques must be returned to Hindus.

Sri Ram Temple in Ayodhya must be completed without any further delay.

Priest salaries must be set depending on the qualifications, training and experience.

Priests who abuse and cheat the system and bhaktas must be removed and prosecuted.

The practices of the pandas / priests in Gaya, Mathura, Allahabad, Kashi and other Northern states must be streamlined, and controlled. The Hindu leaders should speak out and take corrective actions.

Thorough discussion must take place about abuse of dakshina system and playing with the sentiments of bhaktas.

All Endowed lands must be recovered or assessed at the present market value and put it in a separate Budget to promote Hinduism; and repair, rebuild and restore the dilapidated historical Temples.

Vakula Mata Temple should be built immediately without any delay.

Islamic University near Tirupathi must be demolished and the land should be preserved by TTD.

A separate List of Concerns about Tirumala Tirupathi Devasthanams (TTD) is prepared for your immediate consideration.

Uniform Laws

Uniform civil Code should be passed and enforced where all citizens irrespective of their religion would adhere. No nation can afford to have one law for each religion. In all non-Muslim countries, the Muslim follow the norms of the country and adopt monogamous relationship. Why India should have a different laws for Muslims?

ONE FAMILY, ONE CHILD.

Family planning should be strictly enforced. No nation can afford to have unlimited number of children for religious reasons, lest natural resources will be depleted. No nation can afford to ignore the threats of Christians and Muslims who have vowed to make India a Christian and Islamic Country respectively.

Replace Secular with Spiritual.

The word “Secular” has not been defined in the constitution even though it is being followed in the country. It is pitted against Hindus favoring Muslims and Christians. There must be clear separation of religion and state. No mention of any religion in any legislation, appropriations, and reservations.

Amend the Constitution to include Spiritual with no preference to any religion and caste.

Remove special privileges to Muslims and Christians

Prosecute any one who denigrates other religions, destroys religious institutions, abuses the idols, and denigrates the religious practices.

No reservations for Christians and Muslims based on religion in the colleges, medical schools, and employment.

Prosecute the media who allow their channels to demean other religions.

Hajj Subsidy

Stop Hajj Subsidy to Muslims to go to Mecca and subsidy to Christians to go to Jerusalem, Vatican and other places. No subsidy to any religions for pilgrimages. Enforce strict separation of religion and politics/government.

All Hajj Houses must be converted to the use of all the citizens irrespective of their religion.

The equivalent money spent on Hajj subsidy for Muslims and travel grants to Christians must be used for establishing Hindu studies in various universities.

Bangladesh Infiltration

Bangladeshi infiltration must be curtailed and send back the illegal immigrants or occupy portion of Bangladesh to accommodate the illegals. But that occupied land should not be made part of India.

No Appeasement

Minority Quotas must be eliminated. Meritocracy must be promoted. Bharat should not be a heaven for less qualified and least educated.

All the Departments specially aiming at a particular religion or minorities based on religion should be abolished.

The government should not fund educational Institutions, based on religion.

All the Minority institutions must be audited to make sure that the funds are not used for conversion.

Revise School Curriculum

Courses on Gita should be introduced in all educational institutions from lowest level to the highest level.

Suryanamaskaras, Yoga and Meditation should be introduced at all levels of educational institutions.

Repeal of Discriminatory Acts

Repeal Atrocities Act, which is giving license to the minorities to abuse the act. Minorities are abusing the system to the extent that innocent people are jailed without having an iota of evidence produced by the minorities.

Repeal Indian Penal Code 498A dealing with Dowry as a criminal law (not a civil law): “Whoever, being the husband or the relative of the husband of a woman, subjects such woman to cruelty shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine. The offence is Cognizable, non-compoundable and non-bailable.” It is cruel and offensive law against the husband and his relatives. Last 30 years of history shows that only 2 percent of the cases were convicted. That means 98 percent of the husband and their relatives were subjected to humiliation, harassment and mental torture.

Community Violence Bill should be defeated where a Hindu is always at fault for the atrocities Muslims and Christians commit against them.

Conversion Laws

Anti Conversion Law must be passed banning the conversion through deceit, deception, allurement, inducements and enticements.

All educational institutions started by Christians must be investigated for high percentage of Hindus converting to Christianity.

All Hindu organizations and Hindu Religious leaders must engage in reconversion of Hindu converts.

The government must investigate and take appropriate action against those who convert Hindus through deception, allurement and inducements.

Loud Speakers

Noise pollution laws must be enforced strictly; Minarets that emit loud prayers must be banned. Supreme Court judgment to enforce the decibels must be enforced by the Central government and the States.

Illegal use of houses as Churches must be stopped and strict penalties imposed against the violators of the law. The houses being used as Churches must be demolished.

In some cases there are 4-5 churches in the same street because of denominational differences. No loud speakers in these houses should be allowed.

Repeal of Article 370

Kashmiri Pandits – Repeal article 370 and make sure all the Kashmiri Pandits are returned to their property rights restored. Allow Hindus to own property.

Terrorism and Non-Patriotic Acts

Terrorism – India is being targeted to create havoc by the Islamic terrorists. Separate independent agency should be created to monitor and prosecute the terrorists. This agency should be in a position to take necessary action against any group that profess or engage in preemptive strikes regardless of the sources of terrorism.

The verses in Quran and Bible that advocate terrorism, killing, destruction of Idols, imposition of Jizya tax, and denial of freedom of speech must be expunged.

Prosecute people who engage in no-patriotic activities such as hoisting the flag of Pakistan on Independence day, burning the Indian flag, insulting the Indian constitution, etc.

Any body that declares Fatwa on any Indian citizen must be prosecuted and severe punishment imposed.

Nation must be cognizant of the fact that Muslims have vowed to break up India into three Muslim countries with the names – Mughalisthan, Dalitisthan, and Dravidisthan. Steps must be taken to prosecute anti-nationals and unpatriotic individuals.

Cow Protection

Cow Protection – The laws banning the slaughter of cows must be enforced strictly.

People who illegally transport cows to other states and break any law in transportation of cows must be prosecuted as per law.

Slaughter Houses must be shut down immediately. Operators of slaughterhouses must be brought to justice.

Beef imports must be stopped; violators must be prosecuted with severe penalties.

Corruption and Black Money

Corruption – this thousand-headed demon must be vanquished at all levels – political, economic, religious, educational, and government. It is threatening the very fabric of the Bharat.

Black money stashed in foreign banks should recovered and declare it as a national treasure to be used for the welfare of the nation.

Work toward Greater Cause – Bharata Mata

BJP, RSS, VHP, Janata Party, Acharya Sabhas, Hindu Mahasabha and other Hindu organizations must work together for the greater cause of the preservation and protection of Hindu cause. They must select the most qualified candidate to lead the country rather than the established candidates that may have served the party many years. Welfare of the Hindu Country should be given top priority.

All religious and spiritual leaders should get united and speak with one voice and encourage their followers to work for the preservation and protection of the Sanatana dharma. Make them a viable and a powerful force to reckon with by all politicians. Otherwise, Hindus have to face the possibility of their existence.

Government should never forget the massive destruction of Hindu Temples and Hindu culture, Goa Inquisition, displacements of Kashmiri Pandits, Bangladeshi infiltration, extinction of Hindu population from nearly 20 percent to near zero in Pakistan, depletion of Hindus from 26 percent to 7 percent in Bangladesh, forced conversion of Hindus, constant terrorist attacks on Bharat, etc.

Law and Order

The law enforcement agencies have to be made accountable for the enforcement of the law. At present Police Department is failing to protect the citizens, especially Hindus, from the terrorist activities, and illegal occupation of their property. Hindu Temples are asked to stop their worship services instead of taking action against the Muslims who threaten the closure of the Temples in certain areas.

Any body, who issue Fatwa threatening the life of a citizen, and insulting the Hindu culture and practices, national flag, national prayer should be adequately punished as per the law. Department officials have to be made personally and professionally responsible for their indifference or their failure in discharging their responsibility.

Inefficiency

Government officials, who do not discharge their responsibilities, fail to maintain neutrality in fulfilling their responsibilities, engage in nonprofessional activities or act in a partisan manner should be individually liable for prosecution.

Police, who charge the citizens with false accusations, must face strict law.

Police who refuse to register FIR must face disciplinary actions such as, imposition of fines, removal from the office, and imprisonment.

Time limitations must be developed to responds to the queries of the citizens.

Legal cases must be adjudicated within a specified time. It should not outwit the life of a plaint.

All Hindu organizations, religious leaders, and cultural organizations should heed the words of Arnold Toynbee who said Indian belief in Ahimsa – nonviolence – should be embraced by the humanity if it wants to avoid the destruction and annihilation of human race. Hindus should not remain silent spectator to the spectacle of terrorism and the demolition of Hindu edifice. They should be assertive participants to restore the glory and grandeur of the richest culture that ever existed in the human history.
