The earliest known roots of our culture are the ancient Sindhu valley and the Saraswati cultures . But it can be safely said that it is a lot older than this. In those days, it was referred to as the Sindhu culture and the followers as "Sindhus" . Outside our frontiers, the "S" was often intercahnged with "H" thus producing "Hindu" . Thus, what is termed as "Hinduism" in the West, the "religion" part of Hindu traditions, is at best only a fraction of the vast ocean of "Hindutva" ! The term "religion" is very differently percieved by us ; we believe in "Dharma" which can promote infinite ways of realizing the Supreme ; unlike Islam or Christianity which order the murder of all non-believers !! Even Gautam Buddha and Mahavir to the end of their days considered themselves to be pure Hindus and they upheld the Vedas always ! Indeed , Buddhism and Jainism are but two branches of the same great Sanatan (Eternal) Dharma.. What is famous as the great "Indian" culture is thus no different than the peerless Hindu culture ! The fact that two Semitic , anti-human cults have made some parts of Bharat their home, is no reason why "Hindu" be replaced by "Indian" ! Veer Savarkar has aptly defined a "Hindu" as a person who holds the land between the Sindhu and the seas as his or her Fatherland and above all as Holyland ! Where does this leave the "Indian" muslims and christians ? Do they inherit the same peerless cultural heritage that a Hindu does ? Do they feel the same fervent love for our ancient sages and seers, for our our ancient yet timeless texts, for our ancient histories , for our great epics and drama , for our great traditions , that a Hindu feels ? Their heroes and epics, their spirituality (?) and their faith smack of far away anti-human ,anti-Hindu Semitic origin !!

There are innumerable examples in World History which illustrate how the bonds of a common Holyland has at times proved stronger than any other things ! And yet we subsidize Haj pilgrims and lavish super hospitality on the Pope who openly declares that he intends to destroy the ancient faith of Hindustan ! On whose support is he counting on , for this evil goal ? .….Disturbing thoughts ! Our enemies have subverted the very governmental and official machinery , one is forced to say ! The sham of electioneering and the farce of public office are eating at the vitals of our nation .. Unless WE do something concrete , this venom can only increase…….
