Long live Meiji Restoration and Hindutva
by Tathagata Mukherjee on Aug 23, 2007 01:52 AM


Shinzo Abe has reminded the world the link India have had with larger parts of East Asia during late 19th/early century.

Okakura came to India to invite Swami Vivekanada to Japan. He was influenced by Sister Nivedita, worked with Tagore & others at the peak of Indian Nationalism's formation years.

Now, psuedos forgot to utter Vivekananda, lest it offends Muslims.

And when did you hear name of Nivedita last time by psuedos, media? She is completely erased.

Because, they cannot afford to show a western lady talking about greatness of Indic cultures.

NDTV made Mother Teresa, who worked against Indic religion as second most admired personality in last 60 years:)-

And here comes a Japanese President who talks about Nivedita in Indian Parliament.

An excellent speech by Shinzo Abe underlying the unity of Asia.


Abe is a product of Meiji movement, and rising India under Hindutva has a close historical, cultiral, economic similarily with it.
