VHP should focus more on real Hindu priorities. Following are the things which would fall on the top of any Hindu's list:- 1- Historic research 2- Fact finding; why do we still have outdated believes? Why are certain believes like 'sati' not yet abolished. 3- At some point, we have to confront the problems with 'caste system'. The sooner we do it, the better of we are. What can be done to overcome the caste system & develop a system which respects the equal & important contribution of farmers, warriors, administrators, policy makers to the building of our society. One cannot do without the other. We need to remind ourselves that no caste is higher than the other. There never was an upper & lower caste in the originally designed system or atleast there shouldn't have been. 4- We Hindus want more institutions which cover part time vedic education. 5- More research in naturopathy. Patent the knowledge we've already acquired from our deep history. Focus on certifying & commercializing to some extent. 6- More research in astrology. We need more institutes teaching part time courses in both astrology & naturopathy. 7- Build more Hindu artifacts. Why not focus on building more well planned temples in undisputed lands in India? We want more clean & well organized Hindu temples in the years to come. 8- VHP could be the channel to bridge the gap between rich & poor in Hindus & focus on social integration. It can help make a strong base & bring more justice to underdeveloped areas of our country. 9- Spread more education, wisdom & knowledge all around the world. 10- A way to accept people of other faiths to parallely respect our method of living & practice it if they want. In a way, preserve India's spirituality. 11- Focus more on building respect for Hindus in general. Bring unity & courage to this religion. Its needed more than ever. We as Hindus need to have some self respect.
Religious organizations like VHP should be more articulate in their acts. The energy spent on opposing events like Valentine's day can be much well used in sponsoring Hindu events & festivals. VHP leaders need to realize that we as Hindus have a larger battle to fight in the long run, the battle of 'Hindu hatred'. So, if they shift their focus from personal benefits & next elections to building a strong base of idealogy, we'll have a much better chance of survival & every Hindu will live in this World with their head high with courage.
