*** Nationalism should be the only feelings for Nation Building ...... By- Dr. Milind Jiwane


Nationalism should be the only feelings for Nation-Building…..

                Rashtra Dharma Kirtan Mahotsava’s series of five nationalistic kirtans began on Sunday at Chitnis Park, Nagpur. At the inaugural ceremony Jitendranath Maharaj , Peethadish of Shri  Devnath Math, Anjangaon Surji said that, “ In Indian culture, Almighty  & Nation are no difference concept. We worship of our nation as God making nation-building the only religion for Indians. This religion is beyond any other philosophy proposed by any prophet or messenger of God. This religion is “Rashtra Dharma” taught to us by our great civilization.” Further he said,” India is the only country for Hindus. A young leading figure of Hindu Nationalism. The concept of being secular never means being atheist. Secularism should mean treating all religions similar which is the first and foremost principle of Hinduism. He should always keep national interest in Priority.”
                On the second day, Hindu Dharma Bhushan Bharat Buwa Ramdasi delivering the kirtan and said,” India boasts on being Independence democratic. But this freedom should not be taken as a license for irresponsible behavior. Chhatrapati Shiwaji  Maharaj’s rule was the golden period of History because on the principles of dignity for women and respect for all religions with priority to state’s welfare. Today, woman is being abused even into the mother’s womb. Our rulers are ready to keep national security and interest on the lines to appease rich nations and section of society. This will lead us to the never before moral degradation. To stop this, we need to understand and implement the concept of “Surajya” of Chhatrapati Shiwaji.”
                The important news is that, it is organized by Kirtan Mahotsava Samilti & Radha Govind Charitable Trust and its organizers and participators are orthodoxy Hindus namely Ex- Rashtra Sevika Samilti’s Smt. Pramila Mendhe, Shripad Risaldar, Didambar Buwa Naik, which are related with RSS. The second day kirtan of Hindu Dharma Bhushan Bharat Buwa Ramdasi is more nationalistic than first one. In first day kirtan of Jitendranath Maharaj , Peethadish of Shri  Devnath Math, Anjangaon Surji  is found to be religious based  and Hinduistic. The question is why they organized such a ceremony..? Yes, if these Kirtankar and our other religious preachers may deliver their “National Spirit Speeches” in place of their “Religious Based Speeches,” so it will be created “National Spirit” and we may respect our “Constitution of India, National Flag, National Anthem, and National Monuments etc.”
                I am quoting another statement of RSS Chief Dr Mohan Bhagwat on concluding ceremony of Sankalpa Mahashivir at Vijay Nagar, Madhya Pradesh is that, developing the spirit of Atma Darshan (Self introspection) amongst the Hindu is the only mission of RSS. Sangha never looks for ‘Shakti Pradarshan’ (Showing strength) but it works only to make people aware of their responsibilities towards their culture and country. RSS is not against any caste or religion but it will never tolerate attack on its dignity. Entire work of sangha is based on promoting Indian culture of ‘Vasudeva Kutumbakam.’ Terming India as ‘Maha Shakti’ (Super Power) is not appropriate as it always works as ‘Vishwa Guru’ for showing path of ‘Sanatan Dharma’ to entire world. Further he said, ‘Sanatan Sanskriti’ is the strength of Hinduism that is still operating the country. Unity amongst Hindus is the only way for overall development and strength of nation.”
                First it is good symbol that, RSS or Orthodoxy Hindus thinking on nation-building. But it is very dangerous situation occurred before the nation, if they will introduce “Hindu Nationalism” or Sanatan Sanskriti etc……  Can they expect Buddhist Nationalism, Christian Nationalism, Janis Nationalism, Islam Nationalism and Tribal Nationalism etc…..? Or State nationalism, language nationalism, Culture Nationalism …..? Is it helpful for Nation-Building?  Can it possible to unite all the Indians on one platform? Will they create Nation Feeling to all Indians by keeping the stick of separation vision, negativity, thoughts or actions..? 
                Religion may be helpful for the man carrier or those who worship the God, it is their personal thinking. Means Religion or worshiping God should be applied for the personal practical life by the interesting person. It is their personal rights. I don’t want to comment it here. Regarding culture, it is found in different types in India.  If it is linked with “Nationalism or India-ism”, it may be seen very complicated issue and it will be cause of speed broker for nation development.  Hindu religion not a national religion in India or not any chance in future too. Only Nepal was Hindu country. But their government has done the constitution amendment. Now there is no national religion. “Good Governance issue is concerned, “it is found only in Buddhist regime and not in the Hindu regime. One more issue, I am presenting that to propagate proper history and not the false one. 
                Why I am saying this…..?  Man is a social animal. Every one political ruler rule on the people or man and not on the religion, God, forest animals etc…  means  a government of the people, for the people and by the people. When any Orthodoxy organizations may introduce or propagate their religious based impact and the people found to be separated each other, how they can maintain “Peace, Prosperity etc…” If they fight or war between them, can it is possible to maintain “Fraternity or Friendship or love….” If the said situation is found to be continued, who will live in secure? One question is putting before you that you want to follow “Buddha or Yuddha(War).”
At last, I am quoting Dr Ambedkar’s Constituent Debate speech of November 26, 1949, “But my mind is so full of the future of our country that I feel I ought to take this occasion to give expression to some of my reflections thereon. On 26th January 1950, India will be an independent country (Cheers). What would happen to her independence? Will she maintain her independence or will she lose it again? This is the first thought that comes to my mind. It is not that India was never an independent country. The point is that she once lost the independence she had. Will she lost it a second time? It is this thought which makes me most anxious for the future. What perturbs me greatly is the fact that not only India has once before lost her independence, but she lost it by the infidelity and treachery of some of her own people. In the invasion of Sind by Mahommed-Bin-Kasim, the military commanders of King Dahar accepted bribes from the agents of Mahommed-Bin-Kasim and refused to fight on the side of their King. It was Jaichand who invited Mahommed Gohri to invade India and fight against Prithvi Raj and promised him the help of himself and the Solanki Kings. When Shivaji was fighting for the liberation of Hindus, the other Maratha noblemen and the Rajput Kings were fighting the battle on the side of Moghul Emperors. When the British were trying to destroy the Sikh Rulers, Gulab Singh, their principal commander sat silent and did not help to save the Sikh Kingdom. In 1857, when a large part of India had declared a war of independence against the British, the Sikhs stood and watched the event as silent spectators.
Will history repeat itself? It is this thought which fills me with anxiety. This anxiety is deepened by the realization of the fact that in addition to our old enemies in the form of castes and creeds we are going to have many political parties with diverse and opposing political creeds. Will Indian place the country above their creed or will they place creed above country? I do not know. But this much is certain that if the parties place creed above country, our independence will be put in jeopardy a second time and probably be lost forever. This eventuality we must all resolutely guard against. We must be determined to defend our independence with the last drop of our blood.(Cheers)”
