The question now
is-how far will Hinduism be able in the present age and amidst new forces to preserve its
soul, maintain its individuality, conserve its strength and at the same time satisfy the
deepest aspiral on of the modem spirit? For it is only when a religion meets all these
demands that it can justify its existence and claim a spiritual sanction for its
disciplinary rules and regulations. It is only when Hinduism is shown to be able to stand
these tests that the present Renaissance can be said to have fulfilled its purpose.
We all know that Hinduism in India has often been brought into discredit in various ways.
True religion should always strengthen morality and never outrage our moral sense.
Therefore when demands are made in the name of religion, which outrage our moral sense or
which are inconsistent with the fundamental laws of humanity, we must resist them with all
our might, how ever high may be the scriptural authority quoted in defence of them. We
know how interested parties in favour of many an in human or immoral practice sat have
quoted scriptures and slavery, untouchability and unapproachability, enforced widowhood
and sanctified prostitution, self-torture and sacrifice of living beings. |
