Again friends, your history books are written upside down: villains like Aurangzeb, Tippu Sultan, Nehru who did so much damage to India’s fabric that it will take generations to wipe out his mistakes) are given pride of place, while true heroes such as #MaharanaPratap, Shivaji Maharaj, or Sri Aurobindo, get 2 lines and sometimes in a disparaging manner, like Shivaji Maharaj was mostly a plunderer.
True Akbar, was the best of the Moghol emperors, but Maharana Pratap never forgot that he laid siege to his father’s Chittor fortress, killed 30.000 Hindus and forced all the women to commit Jauhar so that they would not be raped and taken as slaves by Akbar’s soldiers.
Hindus have a tendency to surrender easily or else to think that the enemy is not as bad as made out. I remember in my country France my grandmother saying: ‘The Germans were not so bad/ Or Hitler was OK”. But Sri Aurobindo clearly said it: Hitler was an asura that needed to be eliminated, because if he had conquered the world as he wanted to, it would have meant the end of our civilization.
In the same way, Maharana Pratap understood that the Moghols were deadly enemies, even if Akbar seemed ok and wanted to make friends, because if the Moghols had conquered the whole of India, then Bharat would be totally Muslim today !
It is because of heroes such as Maharana Pratap, Shivaji Maharaj, or Rani Kittur Chennama, that Hinduism and the Knowledge that props up Hinduism survived today.
Let us remember that in our times, we see the same phenomenon: the @BJP4India for instance, has a tendency to trust the Chinese, every time they say they want to negotiate (and then they do not withdraw and encroach more Indian territory) or think that Muslims will vote for them or that the foreign press will eventually love @narendramodi.
BUT THEY ARE THE ENEMY !!!
YES, #COVID is also the enemy (many of you have told me that these posts were good, but the timing wrong)- but again know the enemy: first it came from China (the western Media does not want to call it a Chinese virus, but has not problem now talking about the Indian Covid strain!); whether it escaped from the Wuhan biological lab or it was released in some parts of the world as some kind f biological warfare, remains to be seen – but even some leftists pro-Chinese newspapers like France’s Le Monde, are now asking openly the question; secondly, it is not only the virus itself that is dangerous, but the asuric forces, the same that were behind Hitler, that go with it: fear, paranoia, suspicion of the others, and we see that the Media, the politicians and the allopathic lobby are those vehicles that the adverse forces to spread fear and terror in the world, even a thousand times more people die of cancer, old age, road accidents, heart attacks, etc
In the Shivaji Maharaj Museum of Indian History Pune, which I founded, we show true enemies, like Tippu Sultan, Aurangzeb or the Portuguese Inquisition and we celebrate heroes and heroines of India. It is a sewa project, entirely dependent on donations. Support us by sending me a mail at fgautier@rediffmail.com We have both India and US tax exemption
Namaste
