R. N. Patel’s letter (Asian Voice-30-9-2017), is optimistic, but against ground realities. Peace and unity in India is at the mercy of indigenous traitors/ bigots on one hand: foreign meddlers/ agents in India. Unity and peace in India will only be possible if it courageously asserts collective strength instead of adopting incompatible western values. India is rattled by anti-Indian elements, false sympathizers, liberals and corrupt policy makers who connive with wrong doers.
In spite of 80% Hindu majority we cannot remove article 370 between India and Kashmir. This negates statement, “Kashmir is integral part of India”.
Some states behave like government within central government. Hindus are openly treated as second class citizens and even Prime Minister is insulted. Though Hindi is declared as National language, it is boldly defied in south India and North eastern area which is dominated by Christian.
We boast of 80% Hindu majority, yet cannot overcome negligible handful All India Muslim Personal Law Board, to build Ram Mandir. There is no Hindu religious unity when there is no national God or national religious banner to rally as collective force? Astoundingly, timid Hindus are silent when term “saffron” is used as an insult Hindu religion!
