The Wonders of
Rgveda
No
matter what religion a person of Indian descent follows, it is only the Vedas
that lend him the sense of racial dignity and human probity by presenting him
the true picture of a past, which excels any national history in greatness,
grandeur and glory.
The
study of the above articles ought to demonstrate conclusively that civilisation started in India and was carried abroad by
her proud Ksatriya sons, who roamed the world in search of adventure, and fought with an incredible tenacity
without resorting to dishonourable conduct. This is
the true Vedic spirit - fighting for glory and serving the human cause.
In
fact, this is the Vedic way of life; it is based on a simple tenet: "you
reap what you sow." Therefore, one cannot harvest glory through inglorious
acts. The failure to keep up with this
Vedic ideal has turned Hindus into "dhotiwalas"
who adore cowardice (ahimsa) and deplore the principle of death with honour.
This evasion of the Vedic
doctrine has affected even more adversely those Indians, who call themselves
"Muslims." They have fallen in love with the Principle of Inaction,
and seek paradise through Intercession. The result is dreadful; these people
see nothing good in the drops of the Ganges, and look for everything vlrtuous in the
sands of Arabia!
The
salvation of India lies in following the Vedic
way of life, which is far above religious bigotry. It is high time that Indians
of all shades realised this fact to unify as one
nation.
Anwar Shaikh presents his work with a view to
establishing that civilisation started in India, and was spread to the
other parts of the world, especially Europe, by her adventure-seeking
sons known as Kshatriya.
The Vedic way of life is based on active righteousness: a devotee of the Vedas
is an advocate of virtue; the sword, which he wields to protect humanity, is
his true ornament. In the Vedic language, dagger and dignity are reciprocal,
and one cannot survive without the other. The Hindus have flouted this principle
through their addiction to ahimsa, the convenient word for concealing their
disloyalty to what they apparently hold the most sacred, supreme and super.
However,
it is something that the Hindus have still some sense of belonging to India, but their brethren who have embraced Islam, are so stricken with a sense of
inferiority that they seek relief in considering themselves as the children
of foreign invaders and look for everything good in the sands of Arabia.
