AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

What could be the roadmap to make Muslims integrate with the Indian ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ nationalism, which is for them Hindu nationalism?

Background: Sri Aurobindo talked about Indian nationalism which is largely Hindu but broad enough to encompass muslims and other communities. However, Islam has been hostile towards anything which is Hindu. Hindus are termed infidels.

Hindus must recover the Aryan culture in their life. They must grow strong and fearless, full of courage, full of the spirit of sacrifice and inner renunciation, tyaga and tapasya. Then when they meet the Muslims with strength setting inspiring examples then it will be possible to integrate them.

The other necessity is for the Hindus must organise themselves rather than remain divides into caste and creed, sect and cult.

Finally we should stop treating Muslims as special citizens with special benefits. In other words the politics of appeasement must stop immediately and all citizens must be treated equally.

All that fans and encourages the emergence of extremism and fanaticism such as Madarsa education must be closed so that a progressive mainstreaming takes place.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
