Allama,
You should write more often in these kinds of topics. I see a good depth of knowledge in your writing, not just the post quoted above.
allama;424416Hmm... Interesting .. Lets see hope in our lifetime that is I assume another 40 yrs max we should see the India broke... I bet this will not happen.. Many so called Pundits/analysts predicted or visioned this but the country is still surviving and in some cases if not all thriving..
Right from its formation, every famine or every drought or every political assasination made this thinkers fantasizing this prophecy.. Only after 1990s such analysts starting accepting the idea that this country will stay together...
Famines, political instability and others you have mentioned were serious. Yes.. but India survived which is a great thing.
What Rajiv Malhotra is exposing systematically is the
external interventions today. If you have 52 minutes to spare, watch the same book's launch speech by Rajiv from Dallas, TX. He wasn't keeping good health on Sunday when he visited Bengaluru, so we had to make him speak without standing. But this Texas speech is simply awesome in summarizing his (co-authored) entire Breaking India book.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByaheAphduQSince I have watched it many times, I will give a detailed excerpt also for the benefit of those who can't watch the video fully.
He starts off his speech, quoting
"Purva Paksha", the need of knowing the opposing point of view. This part of debate technique was historically legitimate in India was covered first. You might want to refer to
Adi Shankara and his debates to learn more about Purva Paksha technique.
Then he covered something that totally surprised me.. I consider myself a bit involved in learning contemporary Hinduism, I am actively involved in debates on the social networks on Hindu dharma, among other ways to keep me engaged with Dharmic traditions. But hearing a few things about the
"Project Breaking India" took me by surprise. We all would have heard of the political side of pseudo-secularism or 'secularism' in quotes as a fundamental threat to the unity and integrity of India, its culture and its people. But this
Breaking India project, an Intellectual, emotional & psychological breakup of India, conceptually scared me. Is it some man's wild dream or something that is already deep rooted, taking most Hindus & secular Indians by surprise?
He systematically covered a possible physical breakup of India, starting with
Dalit Freedom network, funded by White Christians of Denver and other places. Then he talks about
1040 and Joshua projects aiming at massive conversion of Hindus and other native coreligionists of India. Then he talks about Tehelka's
undercover operation to expose the anti-united-India activities of the church via Joshua projects on rural side of India. He particularly stressed on the the
ownership of land in rural area by churches, strategically using them to convert people.
Gospel for Asia in Dallas, using religious hate speech was covered in the next part of his speech. European Lutheran church in Scandinavia and Germany, that uses Human rights argument to
isolate India politically, and then police India via church backed networks was highlighted.
Then he covers the mega strategic tool used by those who want to sideline & suppress Hinduism in particular, using strong political muscle.
US Commission on Religious Freedom, Clinton setup commission, to monitor religious freedom across the world (except USA, of course). Very surprisingly, it's Watch list has
India in it, along with Islamic extreme state like Afghanistan!! He claims that religious freedom is actually too much in India, if you live and observe it, but this commission purposefully paints Hindus as the bad guys. Anyone with even 15 days of vacation through the vast country of India, would not believe an ounce of that India=Afghanistan argument when it comes to religious freedom. It's a shame that a public funded group in the world's most powerful democracy, is painting such horrendous picture! Rajiv peels layer by layer, as to how most of the 'complaints' & 'testimonies' about India, are from those supported by Joshua, Lutheran, Dalit Freedom network kind of anti-India conversion networks. And, there's
no cross examination allowed by Sanatana Dharma Hindu organizations like
Arsha Vidya Gurukulam,
Pejavar Matha,
Sringeri Shankara matha, Varanasi Hindu sabhas,
Vishwa Hindu Parishad, Arya Samaj and
Ramakrishna mission. Essentially this is a one way propaganda mission to put India and Indians on the defensive! He talks about 15 commissioners - Muslims, Christians (
Worldvision kind of open Christian conversion organization backed) & Jews. No Hindu/Jain/Sikh/Buddhist commissioners nominated. Rajiv Malhotra's 600 page book's
chapter 17 exposes each of these commissioners, their backgrounds linking to church and how they are trying to break India via an agenda.
Then be backs up the timeline to give us a holistic view of how this whole break-India conceptualizations started 200 years back. He covers
Robert Caldwell, an evangelist missionary and others of 19th century, how they created
Dravidian-Aryan division theory. How they used distortion of Saint Thomas' "influence" on Thirukkural etc. in South India.. how their ideology is used today for a distortion that Hinduism is a 'Brahmin' conspiracy and if you get back to Saint Thomas' ideology, you will go back to original Christianity in the south! Dravidian & Dalit concepts are being grouped to form a common anti-Hinduism umbrella. Third kind of divide is the minority identity against Hinduism, which already cost India two physical parts during the 20th century.
Then he covers what would most interest my social media buddies. The
systematic media management part, using mainly foreign Christian sources. Talks about 'Christian Media in India' book (I didn't catch the exact title or author), the money sources, the control of Indian media, making news agencies (NDTV, Times of India, The Hindu kind) planting
Christian-twist stories, producing journalists with their ideologies, networking with international wires to make them 'world wide' news material all the way to NY Times, Christian Science Monitor etc. Talks about many of them being fabricated systematic spread of rubbish. This part was well observed by folks on Twitter in India, but Rajiv's claim of such a deep rooted network to this extent just shocked me! Maybe we should buy his book by paying $20 and read more on this chapter closely.
Then comes the most bizarre bed partners fact. The
axis of leftists (US, mostly South Asia academic, like
Ford Foundation)
and rightists (Western Christian, like
Rockefeller right of center foundations) working together in this effort against Hinduism in India. Western Right takes on Christianity basis and Western Left takes on the basis of secularism, human rights etc. He also exposes Indian left are in bed with Western Christian Right!
Unbelievable
collaboration of opposing ideologies per Mr.Malhotra!
He then moves on to the assault on Sanskrit, Gurus, anything core of Hindu is from this combo of ideological attacks, well funded from the West.
Then he
challenges the notion of minority concept itself.
[INDENT]Rajiv's words mostly as is:
"If you were to go to India, and see a MacD restaurant with 20 employees, you would not say its a minority restaurant. What matters is that this is 1 of the 50,000 branches of the world. You don't take one restaurant as a minority. Same way, one church in India is a part of Vatican global empire. The Bishop is appointed by Vatican. Their property is indirectly under Vatican's rule. So Indian Christians are a part of huge multinational. Not just Catholics, but Mormons, Baptists, Lutherans etc. Just like you don't give MacDonald in India a minority privilege, you can't give a church in India also a minority status. Similar stuff for Mosques too based on the global Islamic empire. If they are independent local concepts, yes, they should be treated as minority. But if a church or a mosque is a part of a large multinational conglomerate, including funding, how can it enjoy minority privilege in India?"[/INDENT]He continues: Not just the numerical strength locally, but a group must be looked as a global strength too. Christians and Muslims being billions in this world, they are in no way a handicap minority group in India. That should be the criteria.
Top down appointments from head quarters from foreign country, including total control of funds & operation, how can Christians & Muslims can be termed minorities?
He then moves on to the topic of the
fear of human rights policing as a strategic tool to keep Indian political leadership terrified, unlike China. When the US condemns human rights, within two weeks China releases its own human rights to condemn US! But Indians academics, religious leaders or political leaders hardly study US to counter the 'human rights' baton.
Indians are weak because the leaders
don't know where they should stand when it comes to these systematic religious & cultural attacks from outside. He then covered the in-fighting among Hindus. Neo-Vedantins fighting among each other. Sufism in Delhi, via music, creating inferiority complex towards Hinduism was covered.
Hindus need to know
what is non-negotiable for internal unity, and also
what is needed to counter external aggression. Per Rajiv, Indian Hindus hardly know how their difference with rest of the world, can form a unity among them. Covers analogy among Western unity from Hagan's time (?). Europeans' uniqueness,
Euro centric identity, was contrasted with the rest, creating the whole 'West' concept, uniting French, English, German etc. He then briefly
talked about another book, coming up, with the Indian Hindu history, ideology, philosophy, identity, with a contrast to others is essential to make Indians know who they are.
Let me know your thoughts, objections, rebuttals & observations, and we can discuss further.
