The other people are changing the minds of Hindus in all possible ways. From the newspaper “Vaarta” dated 07-02-1999, we would understand how much propaganda is being carried on through the teachings to the youngsters in schools and hospitals, where we consider education and medical treatment as great services.We are all thinking that it is service only but are unable to realise that its effect is pushing us in to a great danger. It is very much necessary to reform our schools and hospitals to patronize and encourage our own institutions. Every Hindu should become aware and observe as to why, other religions, even though there are people who are poor, uneducated and sick, suffering in their countries, are coming here and making available their services to us only, instead of serving their own people? We should understand the reason behind this and be careful about them, otherwise we cannot protect our dharma.

Terrible harm is being done to the Hindu from all sides. More than all these, the greater danger is the anti-Hindu secularism of our politicians. Secularism is the policy of our constitution. If it is properly implemented, we would be fortunate ones. But with the selfishness of politicians, this seculasism is becoming fatal to the Hindutva itself. Some Hindu dharma propagators went to a politician who was born as Hindu, to sell a book on Hindu dharma for one rupee. Immediately that politician told them that he was not a Hindu but secular one and refused to give even a single
rupee. The same person, when people of other religion approached them for help to conduct a meeting of foreign religions preacher, offered them chairs, benches, clothes and money. That politician, by his action, had finally decided that secularism meant not helping the Hinduism but giving every thing to other religions. This kind of psychology only is dominant in politics.
If we express anguish for acts of injustice done to the Hindutva in our country, our own people say “Are we Hindus not in mejority? So everybody co-operates with minorities only. We Hindus who are in majority have to compromise and this is unavoidable.” When we give expression to our agony about the situation of the Hindus not being able to fulfill their duties of religions dharma in countries like Pakistan and places in our country like Kashmir and North. East states, other
reply that the Hindus being in minority lack strength. So they have to adjust themselves; what kind of deplorable condition is this? Is it the fate of the Hindus to compromise and suffer whether they are in majority or minority? How horrible it is for a single religion to suffer in all situations? Whom we have to blame for this? The main reason for this is the absense of spirit of Hindutva in the Hindus, lack of unity among them and absense of their feeling that they are Hindus. The solution for all these problems is that a Hindu is to know himself as a Hindu and form as an integrated power. Whatever it may be, a Hindu should live as Hindu. for that proper
effort should be made from our side.

Secularism and feeling of respect for all religions are the basically in the Hindutva itself. “Ekam sat Vipra bahtha vadanti” – Truth is one but it is told by several ways. “Sarva deva namaskarah Kesavam pratigachhati” – We believe that to whomsoever God, we do namaskaram (salutation), it goes to Narayana. We conduct ourselves with that feeling. We do not tolerate the abuse of other religions. But those of other religions always criticise our puranas. It is also not good if we do not take notice of this also. A person of other religion commented like this, “How is it Draupadi had five husbands? How could be Karna born to Kunti? Was not Kunti unmarried at that time?” Before I could give him a convincing and good reply to these questions, my
neighbor who was an emotional person retorted saying “Are you asking the as to how an unmarried girl could give birth to a son? It would be better if you put this question to yourself. For all your questions on our puranas, that is the only answer.” I got angry for his emotional reaction. One should be able to give proper replies to others but not put counter question. For all those critical comments about various aspects of our puranas, there are correct, good and factual relies. If you read the book completely, you come to know.
Nowhere else can be found our goodwill, nice feeling and broad heart. We had given welcome and hospitality to Parsees, Jews, Moghuls, Christians and all others who came to our country. We enabled them to have their prayer halls. Today, our broadminded view and goodness only are trying to put an end to our religion. If we do not take proper care and precaution even now, the future of our dharma is unpredictable.
One unfortunate thing is that we see everywhere a miserable feeling to consider that it is modern culture to criticize our religious dharnas and praise other religions. Everyone is displaying that pseudo greatness only. A Hindu, if he has friends in other religions, gives presentations which are to their liking only on the other festival days. But that non-Hundu does not reciprocate to the Hindu on the day of Hindu festival. Because if he comes for the festival, he would not eat our prasadam. Then we express sorry for our offering to him, as though we have done something wrong but do not think that he has not cared our friendship for the sake of his religion. The presentations they give us would be those which are related to their Gods. This
Hindu friend gladly recieves them. This way the presentations which are purchased by these two people and the things which decorated their two house would belong to non-Hindu religions. This is the way things are happening very naturally.
