THE
CONCEPT OF HINDU RASHTRA

|
Modern Concept
Another criticism about Hindu Rashtra is
that the modern concept of secularism and democracy will have no
place in Hindu Rashtra. This is again because those who make this
charge have never studied and understood the basic Hindu principles
and traditions. Since the dawn of civilization, the first ever
intellectual composition of the human being on earth was produced
here in this land of Bharat -- and that is called the Rig veda.
In this we find passages "Ekam sadviprah bahuha vadanti";
"Ano bhadrah kratvo yantu vishwatah", etc.,etc.
(Truth is one and the intelligent speak about it in many ways."
"Let noble thoughts come to us from all directions of the
world.) That is the catholicity of the Hindu thought. Everything is
based on such universal approach. It is by far very different from
the concept of Christianity or Islam, with which alone our English
educated people are familiar.
Because certain things happened in
European countries, their calculation is that the same things will
happen in this country also. But one should remember that this
country and its Hindu ethos are entirely different. That is why even
in the annals of Hindu polity you cannot find a theocratic State
comparable to Islamic or Christian States.
