we have to make vigorous efforts not only for sheer survival but
also for winning back our erstwhile co-religionists by making proper
adjustments in our society. Let us remember that the doctrine that a
Hindu is born and not made, is absolutely false. For hundreds of
years our Dharma has quietly absorbed people of alien faiths without
fuss.
As regards the question of
reabsorption, Swami Vivekananda's observations are interesting and
instructive : "Returning converts will gain their own
castes of course. And new people will make theirs." The
advanced sections of our society can render signal service to the
new converts by voluntarily coming forward to absorb them into their
own fold. Shivaji Maharaja set a noble example in this respect by
marrying his daughter to a Muslim youth brought back into the Hindu
fold. |
