X. Children Of The Motherland
Why the name ‘Hindu’ - Our social diversity, sign of evolution - Many sects but one dharma - Its twofold object - Reasons for present perversion - Varna vyavastha: Original form; not the cause of slavery; present day perversions - All our languages national- Myth of Tamil separatism- Why Hindi as official language- Present linguistic chauvinism - Aryan Dravidian controversy , a political game - The fresh dissensions - Realise underlying unity- A duty by birth.
Since times immemorial, a great and cultured people called by the name ‘Hindu’ have been living here as the children of this sacred motherland . There are, however , some who object to the name ‘Hindu’ saying that it is comparativly of a recent origin and moreover given to us by the foreigners. They suggest the name ‘Arya’ or Bharatiya in the place of ‘Hindu’ .
