Dignitaries’ views about ‘Present situation of Hindu issues in Southern India’

Second session of the fourth day of 7th All India Hindu Convention

Conspiracy to divide Tamilians and Hindus in Tamil Nadu : Arjun Sampath, Founder-President, Hindu Makkal Katchi, Tamil Nadu

The present situation in Tamil Nadu is against Hindu Dharma and Hindus. Presently, the influence of Christians is rising there and it along with church is apparent in various towns, political parties and leaders. As a result, Ram Rathayatra arrived in Tamil Nadu was opposed by some political parties and their leaders. Still, the Rathyatra was a success. At present, Tamil Nadu has become a ‘Fascist State’. A conspiracy is being hatched to spread misleading information that Tamilians and Hindus are different.

Conspiracy to split Virashaiva Lingayats from Sanatan Dharma will not be tolerated : Dr. Vijay Jangam, National Spokesperson, All India Virashaiva Lingayat Mahasangh, Mumbai

Presently, a conspiracy is being hatched at international level to divide Hindu Dharma for which funds are being provided to many organisations in India from overseas countries. Virashaiva Lingayat is not a separate religion; it is an inseparable part of Hindu Dharma only. A Conspiracy to split Virashaiva Lingayats from Sanatan Dharma is being hatched presently. During Karnataka elections, Congress employed the strategy of ‘Divide and rule’ and granted the status of separate religion to Lingayat community. However, we will not tolerate the conspiracy to make Lingayat community separate. We will strongly oppose it. Virashaiva Lingayat were Hindus and will remain so in future too. The ‘Hindu Rashtra’ is essential to foil the conspiracy to split Lingayats from Hindu Dharma. BJP should promise to establish the ‘Hindu Rashtra’ instead of development in its election manifesto for 2019, said Mr. Vijay Jangam. He was speaking on the topic ‘Need to foil the conspiracy to split the Lingayats in Karnataka from Hindu Dharma’.

Process of establishment of Hindu Rashtra will commence from Kanyakumari : G. Radhakrishnan, State President, Shivsena, Chennai, Tamilnadu

With guidance from Hindu Janajagruti Samiti, a feeling of closeness is developing among Hindu organisations in Tamilnadu. Due to guidance from Sanatan Sanstha my entire family is now performing spiritual practice. Spiritual practice improves the quality of performance and Hindus come together is what Shri. Radhakrishnan said when speaking on the efforts being made in Tamilnadu for protection of the nation and Dharma.

He further said that Tamilnadu is a spiritual state with a number of Saints and that the people here vote for Hindutva, not for the Bharatiya Janata Party. The mission of Hindutva is being carried out here by organisations such as Hindva Seva Sangh, Vivekanand Kendra etc. They have even opened a college. Despite that Christians are continuing their bullying in the coastal areas. In Coimbatore processions amidst music are banned. Politicians, writers, actors, rather all anti-Hindus have become active. In fact even applying a tilak on the forehead is banned. Hindu activist organizations are filing complaints against those performing anti-Hindu actions to the police, which is indeed a positive action. These organisations have stopped conversion of Hindus in Kanyakumari.

Performing spiritual practice is extremely essential to overcome obstacles when performing the mission of Dharma : Tridandi Swami Shri Chaitanyadas Bharati Maharaj, Organising Trustee, Bharat Kshetrabhumi Sanrakshan Vedi, Mallapuram, Kerala

Mallapuram District is Muslim majority and has very few temples, Hence I decided to build a temple of Devi here. Muslims opposed this to a great extent. So much so that they demolished a constructed temple. To save the temple using the Right to Information, I questioned the District Magistrate who could not give appropriate answers. Bhajans (devotional songs) would be played in the temple which was also causing the distress to Muslims. They made use of a government officer to procure an order to stop playing bhajans here. I contested this order in the High Court. A verdict in our favour was given. No senior officer helped us.This is only one of such incidents. We need to increase our spiritual practice to be able to combat such obstacles. I bring people together and explain the importance of spiritual practice to them. I also explain the significance of establishment of Hindu Rashtra to them. This is the account given by Tridandi Swami when speaking about the anti-Hindu conspiracy being unleashed in Kerala.

Several benefits to minorities (Muslims) by the Telangana Government : T.N. Murari, State President, Shivsena, Bhagyanagar (Hyderabad), Telangana

The Government of Chandrababau Naidu in Andhra Pradesh and the Government in Telangana are indulginhg in appeasement of minorities.The Andhra Pradesh Government razed more than a 100 temples in the name of road widening but not a single masjid or church. When we agitated against this, we were promised a temple adjoining the demolished one. Not a single temple has been reconstructed even after 4 years of the promise. In Telangana Muslims are being given expensive gifts for Ramzan but Hindus are given nothing for their festivals. The Shivasena staged a protest against this as a result of which at least a few Hindus began receiving some facilities is what T,N. Murari expressed when speaking on the topic of ‘The anti-Hindu policies of the Telangana Government’.
