India's Secularism: New Name for National Subversion
C**R
The Magnum Opus of Sita Ram Goel Ji
I wished I could rate it more than 5 stars. This book is an eye opener. Ever wondered why so many communal tussles happen in the country despite everything being so clearly put by the Constitution? All these words seem to sound so beautiful: Secularism, Liberty, Freedom,etc. etc. But, what if in the garb of Secularism the most horrible activities in the country are done?"Secularism in the post- independence period has been & remains no more than a euphemism for Hindu-baiting"The title is very aptly chosen because India's secularism is brought up as a concept from the west & then distorted to put a totally anti-Hindu narrative(The technicalities are very well dealt with a text which only a scholar of the calibre of Sita Ram Goel could've produced).Read to know what happens when an instrinsicly secular Religion has to suffer due to Religious fanatics of conflicting religions leading it to systematic disintegration. Someone then has to speak up. Thank You, Sita Ram Goel Ji. A million thanks on behalf of all the Sanatanis who still have to suffer without history noting their plights.Just buy it & all your questions about the current narrative in the country will be solved. You'll start understanding political & communal 'patterns' in the world of so called Secularism.

Definitions matter
How the same word can have two different meaning in different parts of the world and how even that meaning is conveniently manipulated when required.

An Eyes opener
India’s Secularism penned down by Sita Ram Goel further translated in English by Yashpal Sharma.To preach Secularism to this Hindu society, was like showing a lamp to the Sun. ~ Sita Ram Goel.Can there be a religion without spirituality?These words Secularism, Socialism, non-alignment etc etc sounds beautiful, But we all know what the garbs of secularism has done to India.The title of the book is aptly chosen, “India’s Secularism” not “Indian Secularism” because there is nothing Indian about Nehruvian Secularism.In the chapter named “What is Dharma”, The author has talked about What Dharma is, Types of Worships and has deeply discussed the propositions of Advaita and Monotheism.It gave us an understanding that both are different to each other and they aren't even comparable. Differences arise when different individuals espouse the opposite traditions of Advaita and Monotheism intellectually and cherish them consciously. Then the tradition of Monotheism gives birth to Aurangzeb and the tradition of Advaita to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.The author has discussed how secularism, Rise and developed in Europe. And how India is different from Europe, India where there is no sign of bloodshed of dharma before Mughals invasions. And Europe where Jews whom the Church had stigmatized as the “Killed of Christ” and deprived of all citizenship rights. Also he talked about the challenge of Islam and Hindu Response in differnt phases. First phase - Mahmud Ghaznavi, Second - Mahmud Ghauri, Third - Akbar and the Fourth - after partition. Talking about “The Basic Blunder” to recognize Islam as a dharma. (ofc it’s a religion). And also talked about how thinkers (Such as Adi Shankaracharya) of Arab invasion periods have not talked about the invasion. All these thinkers could not entertain any proposition beyond ब्रह्म सत्य है, जगत मिथ्या (Brahma alone is Real, the world is an illusion). Perhaps evil conduct in this unreal world was no more than an illusion for them. Perhaps they could see no reason for discussing an illusion.Further has also talked about Treatment of these Diseases. That we have to go back to the ideals and goals laid by our leader during the Swadeshi movement. In order to emerge as the leading nation and as an exemplary example to the rest of the world.A new meaning of Secularism began to be fortified - Secularism, that is, applause for Islam and Christianity. And Hindu society began to be denounced as a nest of narrow-minded and aggressive communalism. All political parties also began to swear by this Secularism.Sita Ram Goel criticized Hindus as we failed to re-establish the dharmic way of life.And he was also criticized, other religions after a deep understanding of their scriptures. Though this book is written against the backdrop of the political developments in India parallels can be drawn when one sees the goings on in Europe. Even though this book was written almost 35 years ago its relevance has certainly not diminished.Religion has to suffer due to Religious fanatics of conflicting religions leading it to systematic disintegration. Someone then has to speak up.Thank You, Sita Ram Goel Ji.Jai Shree Ram.

Good quality binding and print
The book binding, quality of paper and printing is good and at par with the price. However the content is eye opening. The clarity of thought and the erudition of the author are noteworthy. The flow of language and thought make for great ease of reading. Though this book is written against the backdrop of the political developments in India parallels can be drawn when one sees the goings on in Europe. Even though this book was written almost 37 years ago its relevance has certainly not diminished.
