The question may surprise. But if we think leaving aside the rule of foreigners, then when, where and how much has there been stability in India during Hindu rules? Especially after the attacks of Muhammad bin Qasim, commander of the Arab Umayyad tribe, in 711? In the subsequent history, how many decades or centuries were the Hindu kings, their age and period of rule? Consider two families, two ideas in the history of independent India. One is Nehru-Gandhi family and the other is Sangh-Modi family. How many types of chaos, religious-caste conflicts and experiences of fighting, dividing and ruling are there during the reigns of these fourteen Prime Ministers? Aren’t these experiences automatically gradually taking India towards civil war? Then the Sangh-Modi family still breathes the history of the battle of Panipat day and night.
If we understand the scenario of India’s future from faces and after Narendra Modi, there will be Modiists like Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Anant Hegde, Anurag Thakur, Tejashwi Surya or the leadership of Nehru-Gandhi family like Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi, Mallikarjun Kharge etc. If the next two-four decades of India were to take place in 1700, would not the result be that, ‘When Kalhana Pandit finished his history, there was nothing but civil war, and the Damara (or local feudal lords),’ burning, plundering, and skilled in fighting,’ were a terror to the country. Central authority had ended and the kings were becoming more helpless and incompetent. Or the sentence that, “The demon of a king” consumed Kashmir in nineteen years, three months and twenty-five days.
These sentences were written some seven hundred years ago (in 1320 AD) by Kalhana’s successor, historian Jonaraja, expressing his frustration over the legacy of Kashmir’s Hindu king Suhadeva (1301–1320).
And the truth is that Kashmiri Hindus had to face more horrific experiences due to civil war.
Certainly there is much that is new in today’s globalized world and modern conditions. There are many shields that keep the existence of the nation state sustainable. But a nation which has not learned from history, a country which is crude in politics and governance, a beggar of lines, which axes its own feet, on whose every reputation owls are sitting pecking at each other, then how can such a country What can even modern Fevicol save? Therefore civil war is destined. Earlier I had speculated about the scenario after fifty, hundred years. Now everything seems to be happening quickly. Every incident, big or small, is creating rumblings of distrust, lies and hatred in the hearts and minds of 140 crore people. The space for wisdom, understanding and patience is continuously decreasing.
Today there is news that there were explosions at two places in Delhi. Yesterday there was news that there was a threat to blow up twenty air flights in one day. One hundred such threats a week! Before that there was news of violence at so many places simultaneously on the day of Durga Visarjan. Trouble in Bahraich. Muslim shot Hindu youth. Police arrested two Muslims by shooting them in their legs. And the opposition’s reaction to these reports is that all these are tricks to make people afraid in the run-up to the elections. All this will happen during the festival season so that Maharashtra gets votes. Such things are not a proof of the rotten minds of the people, but of a state of extreme distrust. In this connection, think that if America and Canada have pointed fingers at the Modi government for the conspiracy to blow up two Sikh militants, how would the aggrieved party have taken it? How would every Sikh in the country and abroad be thinking?
Things like hatred of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah do not have much meaning, but if we consider the reality of the impact on the hearts and minds of crores of people in the relationship between Hindus and Sikhs, then what a turn of history this is! For us Hindus, do the saber-wielding Sikhs mean more or the lathi-wielding RSS, the ridiculous, false power of the Hindu Raj Police, CBI, ED, RAW? If there is ever a war with Muslims (which will happen, because without it, restless Islam and Modi-Shah’s Panipat scenario cannot happen) then do we want Sikhs or Muslim-Sikh alliance?
That’s why I am surprised at these maneuvers of Modi-Shah, in which instead of Jat Sikhs, there are Punjabis and instead of Jats, there are Dalit devotees of Ram Rahim! Instead of Marathas, there are Malis….Accordingly, in the scenario of Modi-Shah-Sangh Panipat fight, the castes of Hindus should not even be taken into account. But when Modi-Shah have peeled off the Hindu unity from the saffron orange and divided it into factions of different castes, then the next civil war will be like what happened after Kashmiri King Suhadev. Hindus then did not understand what happened, how to fight? Some Sufis who came from Iran suddenly took power as their own and converted Hindus into Muslims. On top of this, this thesis was also made in history that the lower castes of Dali were suffering from Brahminism. He happily accepted Islam.
This is a big lie but history is written like this because even then the Hindu monarchy did not know how to rule. And one has to fight for true history too!
There has been a digression. But these days I am passionate about the reality of Kashmir and writing about it. This reality is understood that Kashmir is the proof that Sanatan Dharma, Sanatan Culture made India ‘The Wonder that was India’ (Satyug) but then the arrival of Kaliyug and the enslavement of Hindus was actually due to the unconsciousness and political stupidity of the Rajendriyas. The ancient, BC and post-BC history of Kashmir was a glorious period of Hindu-Buddhist partnership. But when external religion came and the time of testing came in the challenge of its politics and wisdom, the ignorance and ignorant arrogance of the Hindu kings drowned everything. Kashmir became the graveyard of civilization and culture. I believe that Western religions are born out of politics. Born with a specific purpose. Therefore, Islam is proficient, dangerous and intelligent in both the uses of politics, intelligence and sword i.e. Bulbul Shah and Mehmood Ghaznavi. At the same time, Hindus either know how to use sticks and bulldozers or coin phrases. That’s why civil war, infighting and collapse happen again and again. That is due to the conflict between the egos of the Hindus’ own kings and prime ministers.
So, our real issue is the permanent Hindu classification of Prithviraj vs. Jaichand. If you are not mine then I am not yours. And everything is fair in the battle of his ego. Therefore, the classification of Hindus for the party and Hindus for the opposition has made the entire society distrustful even in the year 2024. There is mutual distrust among religion and caste groups among 140 crore people and there is a classification of you and me in governance and system, elections and politics. There are two camps. One is the oppressor and the other is the victim. One is a hero and the other is a villain. There is no space in between. The interesting thing is that both the parties are basically portraying themselves as victims and are indulging in the feeling of revenge. While Narendra Modi, the government and devout Hindus have the reputation of being the victim, Rahul Gandhi, the opposition and the Muslims also have the reputation of being victims. Therefore there is no scope left for mutual trust. There is automatically an insistence on a one-to-one fight in every election and every floor test.
It is no wonder that all those people who are in opposition to BJP’s victory in Haryana elections have raised the argument of no-confidence and rigging of EVM machines. Now it is being heard that BJP will win in Maharashtra and Jharkhand and will also win Delhi, Assam, UP because Modi-Shah can never lose with EVM machines! Both sides do not have even an iota of truth, reconciliation, ceasefire or understanding. In such a situation, if this trend continues for twenty-twenty-five years, will there not be a civil war in the future?
Not only is the arena of Panipat decorated, but every effort is made to kindle the emotions in the thoughts and inspiration of the oppressed and the oppressed, so that even if the country is at stake, everyone may lose trust in politics and governance, but losing is not winning.
It seems like now there is no need to even light it. The variety of means, methods and viruses available today to ignite the minds of people in India are hardly found anywhere else in the world. Contesting elections is also the way now. The one who wins is proud and the one who loses is burning in his heart. More lumps are formed in both. Be it the shop of hatred or love, there is a war between both. On one side there is the media, from sticks to bulldozers, while on the other side there is the language of Sufi love, social media and a storm of mistrust.
This is the specialty of India alone that the battle between Nehru-Gandhi vs Sangh-Modi ideas, secular vs Hindu ideas is being fought on lies, for lies, by lies. These days, even in America, there is a terrible fight between Donald Trump versus Kamala Harris, Catholic versus non-Catholic, i.e. fundamentalist versus liberal. There also Trump is the incarnation of God. America is badly divided. But apart from the prevalence of lies, the presence of intelligence, truth, principles, ideology and honesty is permanent there. The wise and far-sighted founders of America, with openness of mind and insistence on truth, have created such a check-balance of the Constitution that the Gangotri of truth, knowledge and science can never dry up there.
Whereas there is nothing in India! That’s why it seems that there is a curse on the Hindus that they have to think again and again like a Betal Pachisi, they have to experience that after ruling for so many years, so many months, so many days, what did such and such a king leave behind India in such a way that it enslaved the country? Happened. The battle of Panipat took place. The country was divided. Now moving in the same direction in the twenty-first century. Scenario of civil war between our own people, battle of Panipat!
You can think useless things! But remember the history. Don’t forget partition!
