Hindu : National of BharatAnyone who is the national of this country, irrespective of being a Shaiva, Shakta, Vaishnava, Sikh, Jain, Muslim, Christian, Parsi, Buddist or Jew by way of his creed or mode of worship, is a Hindu. As Justice M.C. Chagla has forcefully put it, "The French, with their sense of logic and precision, call Indians irrespective of their caste or community L Hindus. I think that is a correct description of all those who live in this country and consider it their home. In true sense, we are all Hindus although we may practise different religions. I am a Hindu because I trace my ancestry to my Aryan forefathers and I cherish the philosophy and the culture which they handed down to successive generations."If only we accept this proposition and call ourselves Hindus by race, it would be the greatest triumph for secularism." The Archbishop of Ernakulam, Dr.
Joseph Cardinal parecattil, has stated that the "Church had
to draw its cultural nourishment from the local soil - the rich
resources of Hinduism." Himself an ardent advocate of Indianisation
of Church, the Archbishop affirms that all Indians including
Christian and Muslims should imbibe this national culture of the
soil. |
