The message of UP Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath, “batenge to katenge” was endorsed by RSS. If the Hindus don’t remain united they will perish is what they want to communicate to people. In fact, disunity and lack of quality leadership among any community always leads to underdevelopment, deprivation, mass sufferings and economic loss to the general public and to the nation. Each and every Indian community should remain united and contribute to build a strong nation where they can live with pride. A peace loving dove can’t survive amid a world which is turning wild and ogre day by day. India being the oldest civilization should reweave different communities with “one India feeling” to protect its economy, culture and the precious community capital.
There is nothing wrong to unite the Hindu community for the growth, co-operation and development of the country. But, a slogan “Batenge to katenge” can’t unite the perennially fragmented Hindu community. The Hindu leaders should instill discipline, courage, confidence, kindness and fellow feeling in the minds of the Hindus so that the majority community will be an example for other communities. The Hindu community desperately needs religious reformers who can erase the blind beliefs and explain to people the purpose of dharma which is to find god everywhere-the quintessence of Sanatan Dharma. Loving peace does not mean people should become incapable of defending themselves and their country from external forces; they need to show extraordinary courage and strength to protect their culture and people from the evil forces.
Caste and regional bias has ripped apart the Hindu community for decades; this poisonous virus buries talents in India and compels talented Indian youth to leave their homes for jobs and career in foreign countries; there is dearth of talent in the country to give strong leadership to the country in different sectors. Even after 76 years of independence, India has not made the backward caste Hindus progress to become one among equal through quality education and training; there are many instances of exceptional talents in the Hindu backward communities. More than the reservation policy the backward community needs quality school and health care facilities; they need a transparent and efficient judiciary which can deliver justice and safeguard their self respect. The community will toss the reservation tag out.
Today, the demand for reservation comes from the progressive communities like the Patidar of Gujarat, the Marathas of Maharashtra, the Kapus of Andhra Pradesh, the Jats of Punjab and Haryana; even Brahmins who are very poor in some states demand for reservation; this demand defeats the very purpose of reservation. This is the biggest tragedy of modern India and a big challenge before the Hindu leaders. It is very essential to ensure the end use of policy and its implementation; the ground reality should not be ignored.
Caste politics does not allow the really talented leaders to emerge and unite the Hindu community. The Hindu leaders should not covertly and overtly play caste cards. Instead they should create the right environment for the backward caste so that they would become one among equal. There should be Inclusiveness in selecting the candidates for the key positions which will inspire the Hindu community to achieve greater feats. It will build the much needed trust and hope among the Hindus who will feel that they would not face deprivation due to their caste. The Hindu leaders should give the responsibility of key sectors to really capable people irrespective of caste; it will serve the interest of the Hindu community better.
Language fanatics are potential threats to national integration. The language feelings are very much there in the national level organizations where language fanatics promote mediocre people of their regions at the cost of national interest; this is a disaster. There is no better way to kill genuine talents. The Hindu leaders should work hard to make their mother tongue Hindi popular; without a national language, the Hindus will continue to suffer huge economic loss in trade and business. The absence of a link language hits them hard and pushes them into the grip of the middlemen and greedy traders; it causes huge economic loss to small entrepreneurs, farmers and small traders. If Hindi is not accepted as the link language in southern states, a simple version of Sanskrit should be made popular. A simple version of Sanskrit can bridge the northern states with the southern states. Today, the children in schools prefer to learn German and French. This is the saddest chapter for the Hindu leaders who could not make Sanskrit popular in India where Sanskrit had once flourished as a classical language. Modern scientists have found Sanskrit as the purest language which is most suitable for developing computer programs.
High cost of air tickets, non availability of train tickets, availability of train tickets at high price under tatkal scheme, middlemen control over rail travel, unsafe roads, growing number of train accidents, lack of quality jobs and loss of employment opportunities in villages and small towns has an adverse impact on the majority Hindu community. Once the youth from the Hindu community migrate to big cities, the majority of them get trapped. High cost of education, health care, food and housing in big cities erode their income and they find it too difficult to visit their native place during festivals or at the time of emergency. The travel sector should be liberated from the profit hungry private players. Imagine what would happen to a family and their land assets if one or two children from a Hindu family migrate to distant cities for small jobs. This is a haunting problem.
It is very essential for the Hindu leaders to create employment in small towns and villages; they should check price rise in essential commodities to restrict migration. Thousands of youth from Arunachal Pradesh and Assam travel three to four days to work in Hyderabad as security guards, salesman or hotel boy for Rs 12000 to Rs 20000 per month. The majority of them are Hindus and they say they have sufficient food in their native place but they don’t have cash to buy luxury items and to meet the cost of education and health facilities there; they don’t have enough money to start a small business in their home states. It is the responsibility of all Hindu leaders to focus on employment in multiple natural sectors to make villagers earn enough from those sectors. Easy and affordable transportation facilities, good schools and health care facilities to all at an affordable cost, healthy credit cycle of banks, proper end use of credit and inclusive democracy will not only serve the Hindu community better but build a prosperous country for all the Indian communities. The Hindu leaders should set an example by building the Hindu community and set an example for other communities to follow.
