Majority communalism

We often confuse or use the three terms synonymously viz Country, State, and Nation. As per Wikipedia definition all three have distinct meaning.

A country is a political division of a geographical entity, a sovereign territory.

A state is an independent territory with a government, a population, and sovereignty over these. The entire landmass of the Earth (excluding Antarctica), along with coastal seas is considered to be divided among such countries. There are currently 193 states recognized by the United Nations — its 192 members and the Vatican City

A nation is a 'set of people with a common identity who have formed a nation-state or usually aspire to do so'

(Viotti and Kauppi, 2001). In this sense of country, the reference is more likely to be to a group that supposedly shares a common ethnic origin, language, religion, or history (real or illusory).

The reason to mention this in the beginning is to emphasize that nation is just not a group of people forced to live together. Over the human evolution, cultures are evolved and people with common ancestors forms a Nation. Many such existed in past and became extint giving rise to new order. The mainstream people of nation forms the natural majority and the nation is governed by belief and traditions of majority community. At any given point, any nation will comprise of majority and minority community. As per the wikipedia again, term "minority" typically refers to a socially subordination ethnic group (understood in terms of language, nationality, religion and/or culture). This phenomenon will be more common in the modern world due to efficient communication means.

Every state has to be secular and treat every citizen equal in front of law. But a nation cannot be secular. It has its own ethos which majority have faith in and to abandon the faith for the sake of minority is not logical and not in practise anywhere in the world but in Bharat. To put it simply, people need much more than bread and butter to live which generally termed as psychological, emotional, social and spiritual needs. And an independent Nation is expected to provide conducive atmosphere to practise those for its people. Are we Bharatiya are really independent? Can we practise or follow what is supposed to be a gist of our culture?

Can we recite Vande mataram?

Can we have saffron flag?

Can we have Sanskrit as national language?

Can we have uniform civil code for everyone residing in Bharat?

Now we will see the situation in Bharat in this context. If Bharat is a nation then we have to first answer what are the commonalities of the majority of the population. If we talking of Bharatiya culture then we are talking of which culture and when we talk about invasions by outsiders then who were they? Our culture has inherent potential to assimilate and accommodate everyone from anywhere in the world. Bharat is the only country in the world where you can find all extant ethnic groups living together. This is solely due to the fact that 'hindus' are in majority. The part of bharat where hindus are in minority is either no more part of Bharat (pakistan, afganistan, brahmadesh, bhutan,srilanka) or if still in Bharat then is cut away from the main stream (Kashmir, North eastern states). Thus to avoid further disintegration of Bharat, hindus need to be in majority in all parts of the nation.

Before indulging in 'majority communalism' let's see what does it mean by term 'communalism'.

In many parts of the world, communalism is a modern term that describes a broad range of social movements and social theories which are in some way centered upon the community. Communalism is used in South Asia to denote attempts to promote primarily religious stereotypes between groups of people identified as different communities and to stimulate violence between those groups. The sense given to this word in South Asia is represented by the word sectarianism outside South Asia. (Wikipedia)

Thus majority communalism in Bharatiya context is violence associated with hindus and which is against minorities especially muslims and christians. Interestingly this term is most often used by majority hindus rather than minority leaders.

Following myths are deliberately inculcated in masses through education system:

- Bharat was never a united nation in history and it is the british rule which made it a single political nation

- Bharatiy culture is a composite culture which is a mixture of hindu, muslims, christians, sikhs, buddhists, jains, dalits, adiwasis traditions

- Hindu are nothing but a aryan race migrated from central europe who in turn imposed their own vedic culture on the aboriginals viz Dravids.

- Thus hindus cannot claim to be only legitimate nationals but due to shear number they try to impose everything of their own to other legitimate nationals who are less in number at the moment.

- This brings whole conflict of civilization and if Bharat want to prosper in its present form then we have to somehow learn to coexist by accepting minority rights at the cost of majority beliefs.

If hindus try to impose their ideas on other legitimate nationals then they have their own reasons:

- It is proven beyond doubt by science that vedic literature is at least dates back to 1500 BC (UNESCO report 2006) when actually it is still older than that.

- There is no genetic or historical proof of Aryan invasion to Bharat. People still propagating this theory only with missionary zeal for their own narrow minded interests.

- If hindus have well developed culture which dates back to prophet Muhammad and Jesus then why hindus cannot follow their own traditions when they accept other religions at par.

When anything 'hindu' value was tried to established in the society it is branded by left leaning intellectuals as majority communalism due to two reasons:

- They are by nature against any kind of religion

- By accepting hindu values they are indirectly accepting hindus as sole nationals of Bharat

Average hindu is never exclusivist. By nature he accepts radically opposite philosophy as yet another way of salvation. This mindset is exploited very intelligently by all the minorities. They never hesitate to grab all minority rights offered by constitution but at the same time never accept the same constitution above their religious beliefs and always keep distance from the main stream of national life. Unfortunately majority of our leaders supported this anti-national behavior of all the minorities for pity vote bank politics and this is the root cause of majority communalism if at all some want to call it that way.

If any individual or any organization is really committed to get rid of this curse of civilization conflict then they have to direct their efforts not towards majority community but to the minority community and help then to understand that we all can coexist without conflict and their beliefs are well protected in Bharat but the nation essentially will be build on hindu ethos which should not be seen by minorities as threat to their existance. History has ample proofs to support this fact that hindus never wiped out any of the culture when they are in majority but otherwise has always happend in the history because we have 54 muslim and around 120 christian countries at the moment in the world.
