Hinduism remains a vibrant, cultural and
religious force in the world today. To understand Hinduism, it is necessary that we
examine its history and marvel at its sheer stamina to survive in spite of repeated
attacks across India's borders, time and again, by Greeks, Shaks, Huns, Arabs,
Pathans,
Mongols, Portuguese, British etc. India gave shelter, acceptance, and freedom to all. But, in
holy frenzy, millions of Hindus were slaughtered or proselytized. Their cities were
pillaged and burnt, temples were destroyed and accumulated treasures of centuries carried
off. Even under grievous persecutions from the ruling foreigners, the basics of
its civilization remained undefiled and, as soon as the crises were over Hindus returned
to the same old ways of searching for the perfection of the unknown.
For
no other country in the world from east to west, faces the agony that the Hindus
in India have to face. They are the injured party; but even today they are crucified by the
'so called' secularists—most of them themselves Hindus—at every stage. No country in the
world has been so ravaged and raped by outside forces as India has been down the
centuries: Not Japan, not China, not Russia, none of the European countries,
neither the Arab nations and certainly not the United States of America.
Krishnadevaraya of the Vijayanagar Empire did not send his forces to Portugal to
tear down churches, use force to convert Christians to Hinduism and indulge in
religious terrorism. Prithviraj Chauhan did not invade Afghanistan nor Central
Asia and raise temples.
No Chola, Chera or Pandya
(Indian) rulers sent a fleet to Saudi Arabia to tear down the Ka’aba and build a temple
to Meenakshi on its ruins or even next to it to demonstrate Hindu might. India
and Hinduism have been ravaged beyond belief. Hindu missionaries did not
accompany a conquering horde to Britain and under their benign rule set to
convert Scottish peasants to Hinduism—or even Buddhism.
According to author Ram Gopal " A band of dacoits
may loot a full busload of passengers at gunpoint but that does not make the
dacoits more intelligent, cultured or superior beings."
No blood has been shed for religion in India except by its
invaders. Intolerance came with Islam and Christianity; the Moslems proposed to
buy Paradise with the blood of “infidels” and the Portuguese, when they
captured Goa, introduced the Inquisition into India.
Introduction
India before the advent of Islamic
imperialism was a country with plenty of wars fought by Hindu princes. But in
all their wars the Hindus had observed some time honored conventions sanctioned
by the Shastras. The Brahmins and Bhikshus were never touched. The chastity of
women was never violated. The cows were never killed. There was no ravage of the soil
The temples were never
touched. The non-combatants were never killed or captured. A human habitation
was never attacked unless it was a fort. The civilian population was never
plundered. The martial class (kshatriyas) who clashed, mostly in open fields,
had a code of honor.
As early as as
the 4th century B.C. Megasthenes (c. 350
BC-290 BC) Greek Scholar and historian, noticed a
peculiar trait of Indian warfare.
 "Whereas among other
nations it is usual, in the contests of war, to ravage the soil and thus to
reduce it to an uncultivated waste, among the Indians, on the contrary, by whom
husbandmen are regarded as a class that is sacred and inviolable, the tillers of
the soil, even when battle is raging in their neighborhood, are undisturbed by
any sense of danger, for the combatants on either side in waging the conflict
make carnage of each other, but allow those engaged in husbandry to remain quite
unmolested. Besides, they never ravage an enemy's land
with fire, nor cut down its trees."

earth" policy was then unknown." For

A L Basham
( ? )
one of the leading authority of ancient
Indian culture and well-known historian has observed:
"No
other ancient lawgiver proclaimed such noble ideals of fair play in battle as
did Manu.
In all her history of
warfare Hindu India has few tales to tell of cities put to the sword or of the
massacre of non-combatants. The ghastly sadism of the kings of Assyria, who
flayed their captives alive, is completely without parallel in ancient India. To
us the most striking feature of ancient Indian civilization is its
humanity."

"The Hindu laws of war

observed:
“The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters
of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel
burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one Jealous God are egged
on to aggressive wars against people of alien cults. They invoke Divine Sanction
for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is
inherited by Christianity and Islam.
He went on to remark:
“Wars of Religion
which are the outcome of fanaticism that prompts and justifies the extermination
of aliens of different creeds are practically unknown in Hindu India.”

"To spare a prostrate foe is the creed of the Hindu

Islamic imperialism knew no
code of honor. The only rule of war they observed without fail was to fall down
the helpless civil population after a decisive victory had been won on the
battlefield. They sacked and burnt down villages and towns after the defenders
had died fighting or had fled. The cows, the Brahmins and Buddhist Bhikshus
invited their special attention in a mass murder of non-combatants. Their
temples and shrines were their special targets in an orgy of pillage and
destruction. Those that they did not kill, they captured and sold as
slaves. The scene was described by Kanhadde
Prabandha (1456 A.D) in the following words: "The conquering
army burnt villages, devastated the land, plundered people's wealth, took
Brahmins and children and women of all classes captive, flogged with thongs of
raw hide, carried a moving prison with it, and converted the prisoners into
obsequious Turks."

cradle of Hindu culture on the eve of its Islamic invasion included what are at
present the Sinkiang province of China, the Transoxiana region of Russia, the
Seistan province of Iran and the sovereign states of Afghanistan, Pakistan,
India, Nepal and Bangladesh. The Islamic invasion commenced around
650 A.D., when a Muslim army secured a foothold in Seistan, and continued till
the end of the eighteenth century, when the last Islamic crusader, Tipu Sultan,
was overthrown by the British. Hordes of Arabs, Persians, Turks, and Afghans who
had been successively inspired by the Theology of Islam poured in, in wave after
wave, carrying fire and sword to every nook and corner of this vast area. In the
process, Sinkiang, Transoxiana region, Seistan and Afghanistan became
transformed into daru’l-IslĂm where all vestiges of the earlier
culture were wiped out. The same spell has engulfed the areas which were
parts of India till 1947 and have since become Pakistan and Bangladesh."
"Hindus
were great temple builders because their pantheon was prolific in Gods and
Goddesses and their society rich in schools and sects, each with its own way of
worship. But by the time we come to the end of the invasion, we find that
almost all these Hindu places of worship had either disappeared or were left in
different stages of ruination."

these felonies as acts of fairness when they are committed to torture the
unbelievers.”
"India

 Koenraad
Elst (1959 -) born
into a Flemish (i.e. Dutch-speaking Belgian) Catholic family. He graduated in
Philosophy, Chinese Studies and Indo-Iranian Studies at the Catholic University
of Leuven. He has
pointed out:
"Hindus too experienced
this treatment at the hands of Islamic conquerors, e.g. when Mohammed bin Qasim
conquered the lower Indus basin in 712 CE. Thus, in Multan, according to the Chach-Nama,
"six thousand warriors were put to death, and all their relations and
dependents were taken as slaves". This is why
Rajput women committed mass suicide to save their honour in the face of the
imminent entry of victorious Muslim armies, e.g. 8,000 women immolated
themselves during Akbar's capture of Chittorgarh in 1568 (where this most
enlightened ruler also killed 30,000 non-combatants).
"Hindu Society has been
suffering a sustained attack from Islam since the 7th century, from
Christianity since the 15th century, and this century also from
Marxism. The avowed objective of each of these three world-conquering movements,
with their massive resources, is the replacement of Hinduism by their own
ideology, or in effect: the destruction of Hinduism. This concern is not at all paranoid (as the spokespersons of these
aggressors would say), even if the conversion squads are remarkably unsuccessful
in India. Consider the situation in Africa: in 1900, 50 % of all Africans
practiced Pagan religion; today Christian and Islamic missionaries have reduced
this number to less than 10 %. That is the kind
of threat Hinduism is up against. "

has written that:
Kashmir
- was the abode of Rishi Kashyap. It
is often described as "Nandanvan" the pleasure garden
or paradise of Bharat. According
to tradition recorded in a number of Sanskrit
texts and
chronicles of
Kashmir
this valley was once a vast lake. It was converted into an
alluvial plain when Kashyap,
a great "Rishi,"
made an opening into the surrounding mountains near Baramula.
As
a result the water of the lake was drained out and the submerged
land became a habitable valley. It then came to be known as
"Kashyap Marga" the abode of Kashyap from which the
name
Kashmir
is derived. Geomorphological evidence has confirmed that the
valley was originally a vast lake. History
of
Kashmir
began with the settlement of the Indo-Aryan people in it in
pre-Mahabharata days. It became a centre of
Indo-vedic culture
and civilization. Sanskrit literature is replete with references
to it.
"Shadow
of Islam first fell on
Kashmir
in the 11th century when Sultan Mahmood of Ghazani
made an unsuccessful attempt to conquer it. But
some Muslim adventurers and preachers of Turkish, Persian and Khorasani origin
entered the valley in the wake of his invasion.

“Muslims do not have the slightest right to complain about the desecration of
one mosque in Ayodhya. From 1000 AD every temple from
Kathiawar to Bihar, from the Himalayas to the Vindhyas has been sacked and
ruined. Not one temple was left standing all over northern India.
They escaped destruction only where Muslim power did not gain access to them for
reasons such as dense forests. Otherwise, it was a continuous spell of
vandalism. No nation with any self-respect will forgive
this. What happened in Ayodhya would not have happened had the
Muslims acknowledged this historical argument even once.”

 Dr
Charles Sabillon ( ?) author of several books, has observed in
his article Christianity and Islam: Which is the Worst?
"The origins of both
religions are based on the claims of two men, Jesus and Mohammed, and both men
proved equally incapable of demonstrating their divine mandate. From that
perspective, the two creeds are equally based on false propositions and can be
classified as nothing more than lies.
Mohammed
ordered his followers to do it by the sword, and that is what they
did once he died. They launched into one of the most enthusiastic conquering
ventures the world has ever seen and forged an empire that extended from Central
Asia to the southwest of Europe.
For most
of the sixty-three years of his life, Mohammed was a merchant, then a religious
leader, and finally a general. He was an active military leader for ten years.
While Jesus told his disciples to spread his teachings by persuasion, Mohammed
ordered his followers to do it by the sword, and that is what they did once he
died. They launched into one of the most enthusiastic conquering ventures the
world has ever seen and forged an empire that extended from Central Asia to the
southwest of Europe. Nations were
ruthlessly converted to Christianity by the sword just like Islam converted
Arabia, Central Asia, and Africa by the sword.

"The troubling feature of India is the growing chasm between popular

medieval vandalism and India is dotted with physical evidence of a shrine that
