Make no mistake; without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil into which India’s roots are struck, and torn of that she will inevitably wither, as a tree torn out from its place … And if Hindus do not maintain Hinduism, who shall save it? If India’s own children do not cling to her faith, who shall guard it? India alone can save India, and India and Hinduism are one.”
On September 11, 2022, the narration of the book “Maharanas: A thousand Year War For Dharma” was presented by the author Dr Omendra Ratnu in a very gripping and passionate way to trace one thousand years of Maharanas of Mewar, how they protected the country from the incessant attacks by the Muslims, their ruthless killings, their barbarous kidnapping of Hindu girls and looting of Temple properties.
Dr. Ratnu reveals the truth of the greatest Dynasty, not just the greatest Hindu Dynasty, not just the greatest Dynasty of Bharat, but the greatest Dynasty in the world: The Sisodiyas of Mewad. The Avataras who fought invaders non-stop for 1000 years, who endured all hardships, who refused to surrender even when their kingdom was encircled by enemies on all sides, who lived like nomads, but refused to give up. He said that it is because of this Dynasty, Kesaria still flies on the sacred land of Bharat.
He mentioned about the whitewash of the history of Bharath, the heroism of Maharanas, their bravery, their sacrifices of their lives, and how they protected the pride of their culture even at the cost of their women lives.
He also narrated as to how the history was manipulated, distorted the facts about Maharanas, how the liberals and Muslims glorified the Muslim rulers and belittled Hindu bravery and victories.
Many of our Hindus are deprived of the true history of thousand years of bravery by Maharanas and it is the time we all need to learn from the history and be equipped with true knowledge and be the transmitter of the truth. Many Hindus have no knowledge about these thousand of history about the Maharanas except the distorted views about the successes of Muslims written by Ferishta, Abul Fazi, Al Badyuni, Baber, Akbar, Aurangzeb and other Muslim rulers.
Dr. Ratnu mention a number of incidents where the historians lied constantly in order to glorify the Islamic invasion and also to belittle the Hindu warriors and their deeds, they fought valiantly by resisting the Islamic invasion. But the historians have been very partial to Muslim invaders. In fact, the historian Ivan Austin rights in his book mentions about the world’s longest serving dynasty and stated that if Baba, Khuman, and Pratap Singh had not stopped the tide of Islam entire world would have been enslaved. To call Pratap an escapist is a kin to calling a lion escaping from a jackal.
Dr. Ratnam mention that because of Rana Pratap Singh Shivaji Maharaj and guru Gobind Singh, India remain a Hindu country in spite of 10,000 years of Islamic invasion. Rana Pratap Singh on his deathbed he wanted every Hindu to fight for Bharat. He said:
I leave my time has come
You have to liberate the seven seas from yavanas. Liberate the Lord of the world, Kasi and the 12 Jyotirlangas from the clutches of yavanas.
Establish Hindwi Swarajya anyway.
Let there be no deviation
Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi speech
He mentioned that the time has come for all of us to be active. The discussion time is over. Writing books time is over. Forwarding message time on social media is over. Suggestions time is over. Anybody who has a suggestion, he must implement it before he suggests to make it works. Santana Dharma is in danger. Now is the time to pick up the hose and try to put the fire out. Protect our Hindu House. How long are we going to find excuses for not doing. Pause everything at this minute and do something concrete on the villages where the conversion is rampant.
He said we have to look at our Sanatana Dharma as our second mother. She is being attacked, suffocated and stifled in from of our own eyes. We should not be mere spectators for these atrocities committed against our mother.
Hindu numbers are declining and the population of Muslims and Christians is increasing day by day. Whatever activities we are doing, and whatever social service we are conducting, they are not reflected on the numbers of Hindu population. That means whatever we are doing is not worth that much when it comes to preserve our Santana Dharma and increase our numbers.
Then he mentioned about the start of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and its activities over the last 16 years. Specific mention was made about our activities on the ground level in villages where the Christianization is taking place. He talked about three main projects GHHF is involved in:
1) Ghar Waapasi ; 26 Pracharaks are employed to make Hindus aware of the deceptive techniques Christians use to convert Hindus and cautioned them to be careful. We distributed 52-page book comparing Bhagavad Gita and Bible. We requested villagers to counter Christians when they come to the village with this book. Also telling about what Bible says about death, torture, incest. Disrespect for parents etc.
2) Baka Samskar Kendras (Sunday School) started to protect children being lured by Christians. GHHF started 150 Bala Samskar Kendras teaching about the richness of our Santana Dharma.
3) Also, GHHF is helping the villagers to renovate Grama Devata Temple to enable the villagers revive the culture and take the responsibility of managing their own Temples.
This event was coordinated by Brijender Tanwar, Sashi Kejriwal, Kumar Gauraw, Manish Kapoor, Shri Gaur and others. They have made very good arrangements and worked for about four weeks to make it successful. We salute all the organizers for their dedication.
