The priviledged few
by Pranav on Apr 10, 2007 06:18 PM

The priviledged few in India do not want others to enter the elite premises which they have reserved for themselves for centuries. They have created the organisations like RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal to maintain their superiority by diverting the attention of masses from the real issues to the unnecessary and outdated religious issues.

The methods used for creating a non tolerant society by RSS, VHP & Bajrang Dal, on the basis of religion will have its own problems.

They keep on talking about Hindutva & Nationalism. One is not sure what they mean by Hindutva & Hinduism. They have not taken efforts to make the vast majorities to teach what exactly this Hinduism is. They are not interested in creating a just society. They want to create a society of one set of people dominating the other. This dominatinating theory comes from the same mind set of priviledged set up wherein very few within Hindus could dominate the vast masses of all the lower caste Hindus. To maintain that dominance, what these people did was keep the scriptures, religion, temple & education to themselves. That gave them great importance. Because they were successful in keeping all the other vast majority ignorant. Not only ignorant, but started considering them as filth. This mindset is not changed still. Whenever you find that some one tries to bring social equality, the people belonging to this group fight tooth & nail. The reservations issue is the recent one to ponder upon. The vast majority among Hindus would certainly like to be equal to these priviledged few. But they can not. Because their language is not as pure, their mannerism is not as good, their understanding of the issues is not as good as these people have. The vast majority does not know about the Vedas & Upanishads. So how come they know what Hinduism is ? Now, instead of making everyone understand Hinduism, they have started Hindutva, which they mean as making all Hindus militants.

While majority of the children of these priviledged people are in US earning in dollars, they talk of Hindutva & Nationalism here. They send the money to these organisations and these organisations use it to incite the same ignorant vast masses within Hinduism against muslims & christians. In order to avoid being called the enemies of the majority, these priviledged few have found this great method of painting the innocents in muslims & christians as National Enemies. If we need to make this Nation great, it can not be made by using such methods as painting the people of one religion as Anti Nationals and considering the few as ultra Nationalist. There is nothing Nationalist in them except hiding their cruelty by using such methods of inciting the people against other religions.
