পদত্যাগপত্র'










মাননীয় প্রধানমন্ত্রী,
পূর্ব বাংলার পিছিয়ে পড়া
হিন্দু সমাজের অবস্থা
উন্নয়নের জন্য আমার
প্রচেষ্টার ব্যর্থতার পর চরম
হতাশা এবং দুঃখভারাক্রান্ত
হৃদয়ে আমি আপনার মন্ত্রীসভা
থেকে পরদত্যাগ করছি। আমার মনে
হয় আমার জানানো উচিত কেন ভারতীয়
উপমহাদেশের এই ক্রান্তিকালে
আমি এই সিদ্ধান্ত নিলাম।

In every Muslim majority nations governments are willingly or unwillingly bows down to the Islamic fundamentalist pressure. They have to be in power,run the government therefore peace is possible only if the demands of the mullahs are accepted. Latif Siddiqui is not a washed tulshi pata but amazing how he saw a light to utter some blunt truths about Islam is amazing. Islam as a faith survives only through fear and hypocrisy. This is a vicious medieval leviathan gets its life from ignorance and reaction. Latif has to pay some price for being blunt.

Re: [mukto-mona] Changing face of Hinduism?



Hindus were violent even in the ancient times. Punyami should read history of Asoka, Pushyamitra Tsunga, Ajatasatru, Ballal Sen etc. to name a few.

Is the Face of Hinduism Changing?
 
Ram Puniyani
 
Fali S Nariman recently made a very significant observation on the current political situation in India.
 
The distinguished Constitutional jurist noted:
"Hinduism has traditionally been the most tolerant of all Indian faiths. But, recurrent instances of religious tension, fanned by fanaticism and hate speech, have shown that the Hindu tradition of tolerance is showing signs of strain...my apprehension is that Hinduism is somehow changing its benign face..."
 
There is no doubt that Mr Nariman's observation came in reaction to recent outpourings from some organizations or establishments that subscribe to the ideology of RSS. He is concerned about the aggressive Hindutva ideology of those who seek to turn India into a Hindu nation or asserting that it is indeed a Hindu nation.  
  
Hinduism is a religion, while Hindutva is a political ideology.
 
Recently from some self-styled champions of Hindutva we have witnessed innumerable outbursts of hate speeches on issues ranging from the propaganda of what they call "love jihad" to the ideological assertions that in India 'we are all Hindus'.
 
They have also unleashed an attack on the liberal Hinduism. They are telling those Hindus, who accept Shirdi Sai Baba- a Sufi born in Muslim family, as their God, that they are doing it wrong.
 
In a broad pattern of their attack they target the religious minorities in one way or the other. The basic question we need to address is whether the voices coming from the RSS combine represent actual Hinduism or they are related to the new practice of politics in the name of Hinduism? The question becomes more pertinent when we see group like Al Qaeda or ISIS acting against humanity, in the name of Islam.
 
During the freedom movement, we saw men like Gandhi and Maulana Azad, who, despite being deeply steeped in their religions, came forward and led a political movement, which was secular to the core. During the time we also saw people like Jinnah and Savarkar, who were not religious in the real sense, but they led the politics in the name of Islam and Hinduism, respectively.
 
RSS combine identifies Hinduism mainly with the narrow stream of Hinduism, or rather, Brahmanism. Hinduism is not based on a single book, prophet or a clergy. Polytheism being at its root, the religion has many theologies, practices and a plethora of holy scriptures.
 
Gandhi followed a liberal tradition of Hinduism and while laying the foundation of Indian nationalism during the freedom movement, he did not let religion intrude the politics. In contrast, the Hindu nationalism, which is being propounded by those claiming to be representing Hindus- Hindu Mahasabha, RSS and their offshoots is narrow and intolerant.
 
Since large sections of Hindus, were following Gandhi, the illiberal Hindu Mahasabha-RSS brand of Hinduism, remained on the margins during those days. But, during the last three decades, starting with the Ram Temple agitation, the Hindu nationalist-driven political campaign has thrown up the intolerant propaganda about the 'others' in a blatant way. With the current dispensation where BJP is leading the coalition, the leaders of the ruling Hindu nationalist party and its affiliate organizations are being patronized by the state which has helped them intensify the hate propaganda against the country's religious minorities.
 
Their pronouncements are aimed to intimidate those who do not agree to their version of state and politics. The politics of RSS is not just intimidating the 'others' but also threatening those liberal Hindus .
 
As religion is being pushed deeper into politics the intolerance level in the society is going up. The challenge of our times is to distinguish between the politics in the name of religion and religion per se.
 
Mr Nariman's statement reflects how the veteran jurist is disappointed with the democratic liberal ethos being challenged by the rising assertion of the Hindutva politics led by the RSS combine. 
 
I have long been receiving good number of hate mails routinely. I know that another article on RSS and Hindu nationalism is going to uptick the quota of the hate mails for me.

Re: [mukto-mona] Changing face of Hinduism?



What a brilliant write-up; hats off to Ram Puniyani. If people from various religions can identify and endeavour to rectify the misgivings of their own religions, then the tension between the religions and within the religion that exist today will gradually disappear. After all, religions are fictitious entities and to fight on these fictitious issues is sheer madness. I am sure sanity has not disappeared completely.
