What is Hindutva?

About Hinduism

Hinduism is the oldest living religion in the world. It can be possibly ruled as the religion with the widest and most tolerant set of beliefs and teachings.
Hinduism, unlike other religions, isn’t confined to one holy scripture. Its teachings have been enunciated in an array of religious books. Hinduism breaks all ideological barriers and is the only religion of the world whose concept of God encompasses beliefs which include monotheism, polytheism, henotheism, kathenotheism, panentheism, pantheism, monism, agnosticism and even atheism. It was Hindu scholars who preached to the world the great doctrine of non duality which emphasizes on the fact that all religions are true and service to mankind is the greatest act of religiousness. Based on the teachings of this very religion, Mahatma Gandhi coined satyagraha and ahimsa.

The oldest teachings and holy books of Hinduism date back to 5000 B.C.The Mahabharat is the longest epic in the world.The Rig Ved is the oldest scripture and holy book of the world.The Nalanda University is the oldest university of the world,teaching Astronomy,Science,Mathematics,Sanatan Dharama,Medicine,Language,Culture and much more

What is Hindutva?

"Hindutva is not a word but a history. Not only the spiritual or religious history of our people as at times it is mistaken to be by being confounded with the other cognate term Hinduism, but a history in full."

Hindutva resembles the Hindu Nationalism of Hind (India).The term was coined to denote a resistance against colonial rule and to regain the lost glory of Hinduism lost during the 800 years of foreign rule in the Indian Subcontinent.

In 2017, related to a plea to minimize electoral malpractices in terms of religion, the Supreme Court of India declined to reconsider its 1995 judgment that defined Hindutva as "a way of life and not a religion".

Hindutva resembles a strong force to defend the land of Hind and replenish the lost glory.

Why Hindutva?

To understand Hinduism, it is necessary that we examine its history and marvel at its sheer stamina to survive in spite of repeated attacks across India's borders, time and again, by Greeks, Shaks, Huns, Arabs, Pathans, Mongols, Portuguese, British etc. India gave shelter, acceptance, and freedom to all. But, in holy frenzy, millions of Hindus were slaughtered or proselytized. Their cities were pillaged and burnt, temples were destroyed and accumulated treasures of centuries carried off. Even under grievous persecutions from the ruling foreigners, the basics of its civilization remained undefiled and, as soon as the crises were over Hindus returned to the same old ways of searching for the perfection or the unknown.

For no other country in the world from east to west, faces the agony that the Hindus in India have to face. They are the injured party; but they are crucified by the 'so called' secularists—most of them themselves Hindus—at every stage. No country in the world has been so ravaged and raped by outside forces as India has been down the centuries: Not Japan, not China, not Russia, none of the European countries, neither the Arab nations and certainly not the United States of America. Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagar Empire did not send his forces to Portugal to tear down churches, use force to convert Christians to Hinduism and indulge in religious terrorism. Prithviraj Chauhan did not invade Afghanistan nor Central Asia and raise temples.

No Chola, Chera or Pandya (Indian) rulers sent a fleet to Saudi Arabia to tear down the Ka’aba and build a temple to Meenakshi on its ruins or even next to it to demonstrate Hindu might. India and Hinduism have been ravaged beyond belief.

It is a time when the people of Hind have realised to defend the interests of Hinduism and at the same time spread their message of peace and goodwill,as is being done for more than 5000 years.

Hindutva is the ideology to defend the Sanatan Dharma and the thousands of years teachings and culture of Hinduism.
