Vināyak Dāmodar Sāvarkar was an Indian pro-independence activist, politician as well as a poet, writer and playwright. He advocated dismantling the system of caste in Hindu culture, and reconversion of the converted Hindus back to Hindu religion

Hindutva | Vinayak Damodar Savarkar

Hindutva

Veer Savarkar was and continues to be one of the tallest exponents of Hindutva and Hindu nationalism. His definition of the term 'Hindu' caused the Arya Samaj leader Swami Shraddhanand to exclaim, "It must have been one of those Vedic dawns indeed which inspired our seers with new truths that revealed to the author of Hindutva this mantra, this definition of Hindutva." Savarkar's definition of the term 'Hindu' has been de facto accepted by the Constitution of free India. His treatise on Hindutva and his six presidential addresses to the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha continue to be the ideological backbone of the Hindu nationalist movement to this day. His views on Hinduization of politics, militarization of Hindus, Hindu-Muslim relations, national security and related issues continue to influence countless Hindus. It is no exaggeration to say that Savarkar counts amongst the most influential political and social philosophers of the twentieth century. However, Savarkar was no armchair philosopher. He breathed life into the Hindu Mahasabha and remained true to the Hindu cause till the end of his life. Savarkar's nationalism did not conflict with, and in fact merged with his humanism. The period from 1922 to 1966 may be broadly termed as his phase as Hindu philosopher and political activist par excellence.

দ্বিজাতি তত্ত্বের উদ্ভাবক হিন্দু মহাসভা:

হিন্দু মহাসভার দ্বিজাতিতত্ত্ব

হিন্দু মহাসভার নেতিাদের বক্তব্য থেকে পরিস্কারভাবে প্রমাণ হয় তারা হিন্দু মুসলমানদের একজাতিতে বিশ্বাস করে না। হিন্দু মুসলমান দুটি আলাদা জাতি বলে তারা দাবি করলো। ১৯৩৭ সালে হিন্দু মহাসভার অধিবেশনে তার সভাপতি সাভারকার পরিস্কারভাবে ঘোষণা করলেন, ''ভারতবর্ষকে আজ আর এক অবিভাজ্য ও সুসংহত জাতি মনে করা যায় না। এদেশে প্রধানত দু'টি জাতি হিন্দু ও মুসলমান।'' (রাম গোপাল, সমগ্রন্থ, ২৬৪ পৃঃ)। ১৯৩৯ সালে কোলকাতায় অনুষ্ঠিত মহাসভার সম্মেলনেও তিনি দ্বিজাতিতত্ত্বের কথা আরও জোর দিয়ে উল্লেখ করেন। াদু'জাতির কথা সাভারকার বললেও অবশ্য ভারত বিভক্তির কথা তিনি বলেননি। াএখানে প্রণিধানযোগ্য যে, দ্বিজাতি তত্ত্বের কথা ১৯৪০ সালে লাহোর প্রস্তাবের সময় জিন্নাহ বললেও আসলে অনেক আগেই হিন্দু মহাসভার সভাপতি সাভারকার হিন্দু মুসলমান দু'টি আলাদা জাতি ও দ্বিজাতি তত্ত্বের কথা খোলাখুলিভাবে উল্লেখ করেছিলেন। তাই দেখা যাচ্ছে ভারত বিভাগের ভিত্তি যে দ্বিজাতিতত্ত্বের উপর প্রতিষ্ঠিত তার উদগাতা হিন্দু মহাসভার নেতা সাভারকার।

'হিন্দু-মুসলিম দুটি পৃথক জাতি'Ñ এই ধারণার উপস্থাপক সাভারকার  । ১৯২৩ সালে বিনায়ক দামোদর সাভারকার এই ধারণার উপস্থাপন করেন। তিনি ছিলেন এক উগ্র হিন্দু জাতীয়তাবাদী নেতা (তর্কপ্রিয় ভারতীয় by অমর্ত্য সেন, পৃ: ৫০)।

বাংলা ভাগের জন্য কংগ্রেসের চেয়ে হিন্দু মহাসভাই বেশি দায়ী। বাংলা ভাগের জন্য হিন্দু মহাসভা মরিয়া হয়ে ওঠে। তাই হিন্দু মহাসভা বাংলা ভাগের পক্ষে যে কঠোর অবস্থান গ্রহণ করে। নিতিশ সেনগুপ্তের Bengal Divided-Unmaking of a Nation বইয়ে এর উল্লেখ আছে (পৃ: ১১৫-১১৮, ১৪৭-১৫৪)।

I do not think Pakistan is worth talking about in this forum. It is a barbarian nation that is too much into the ditch.

LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - A pregnant woman was stoned to death Tuesday by her own family outside a courthouse in the Pakistani city of Lahore for marrying the man she loved.

The woman was killed while on her way to court to contest an abduction case her family had filed against her husband. Her father was promptly arrested on murder charges, police investigator Rana Mujahid said, adding that police were working to apprehend all those who participated in this "heinous crime."

Arranged marriages are the norm among conservative Pakistanis, and hundreds of women are murdered every year in so-called honor killings carried out by husbands or relatives as a punishment for alleged adultery or other illicit sexual behavior.

Stonings in public settings, however, are extremely rare. Tuesday's attack took place in front of a crowd of onlookers in broad daylight. The courthouse is located on a main downtown thoroughfare.

A police officer, Naseem Butt, identified the slain woman as Farzana Parveen, 25, and said she had married Mohammad Iqbal, 45, against her family's wishes after being engaged to him for years.

Her father, Mohammad Azeem, had filed an abduction case against Iqbal, which the couple was contesting, said her lawyer, Mustafa Kharal. He said she was three months pregnant.

Nearly 20 members of Parveen's extended family, including her father and brothers, had waited outside the building that houses the high court of Lahore. As the couple walked up to the main gate, the relatives fired shots in the air and tried to snatch her from Iqbal, her lawyer said.

When she resisted, her father, brothers and other relatives started beating her, eventually pelting her with bricks from a nearby construction site, according to Mujahid and Iqbal, the slain woman's husband.

Iqbal said he started seeing Parveen after the death of his first wife, with whom he had five children.

"We were in love," he told The Associated Press. He alleged that the woman's family wanted to fleece money from him before marrying her off.

"I simply took her to court and registered a marriage," infuriating the family, he said.

Parveen's father surrendered after the attack and called his daughter's murder an "honor killing," Butt said.

"I killed my daughter as she had insulted all of our family by marrying a man without our consent, and I have no regret over it," Mujahid, the police investigator, quoted the father as saying.

Mujahid said the woman's body was handed over to her husband for burial.

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan, a private group, said in a report last month that some 869 women were murdered in honor killings in 2013.

But even Pakistanis who have tracked violence against women expressed shock at the brutal and public nature of Tuesday's slaying.

"I have not heard of any such case in which a woman was stoned to death, and the most shameful and worrying thing is that this woman was killed outside a courthouse," said Zia Awan, a prominent lawyer and human rights activist.

He said Pakistanis who commit violence against women are often acquitted or handed light sentences because of poor police work and faulty prosecutions.

"Either the family does not pursue such cases or police don't properly investigate. As a result, the courts either award light sentences to the attackers, or they are acquitted," he said.

They should have targeted the head of the man who after having six children by first wife seduced a girl half his age.

Re: [mukto-mona]



Pakistanis have become out and out Saudi slaves and now they are mimicking the masters even to kill a pregnant woman! I feel happy that we, the Bangladeshis, are no longer associated with these bunch of criminals who call their country Pakistan ('land of the pure') - what a farce! It should be called Satanstan.
