Bharat is and will 'officially 'become the Hindu Rashtra by 2024 !

The juggernaut of pro-Hindu forces at the current acceleration rate is sure to bring about a much-sought-after socio-political change in the country which will officially declare itself as the Hindu Rashtra latest by 2024 come what may. And certainly, this is not an astrological prediction, but a concrete reality likely to occur within the above-mentioned time frame. The factors leading to such a conclusion are not far to seek. First and the foremost, after Pakistan was created in 1947 on religion basis, the vast majority of Hindus, in tune with their way of life, wanted to live in India peacefully and harmoniously with other communities, including those Muslims who despite voting for Pakistan decided to live in India for whatever reasons.

The bleeding India at the time of partition suffered the worse genocide of the history by losing its people numbering above one million. Still, for the reasons best known to the leadership of those days, India was not declared a Hindu state, which was surely against the wishes of the majority. Even after the bloodbath and partition the atrocities on Hindus in Pakistan continued unabated following which Nehru-Liyakat pact was signed under which both the countries had agreed to protect minorities in their respective countries. India followed the pact in letter and spirit while Pakistan did not. The Nehru dynasty that ruled the country for most part of the time since Independence, instead of protecting the cultural ethos of the majority Hindus, always indulged in the appeasement of Muslims and Christians. So much so, when the entire Opposition was incarcerated during the infamous Emergency years, Indira Gandhi, the icon of Nehru dynasty almost surreptitiously and against the judgment of the apex court, amended the Constitution by adding two words in the preamble, namely, secularism and socialism. Still, the harassed, hounded and tortured Hindus did not protest publically.

Their anger was like a silent volcano awaiting the opportune time to erupt. The pro-Muslim agenda of Nehru dynasty was based on a quid pro quo according to which the Congress owned and controlled by the Nehru dynasty had agreed to liberally grant freebies to the so-called minority of Muslims while the other side had assured a full and complete vote-bank. This sinister pact was not only limited to the Indian Muslims, but to all other Muslim nations also. Due to such a partisan attitude of the then government, fanatics had a full play to burn a train bogey at Godhra, indulge in 26/11 terrorist attack and serial bomb-blasts in Mumbai. This made the vast majority of the Hindu population, a second-grade citizens. The fear and repression were mercilessly unleashed on those who dared to oppose such step-motherly attitude of the then ruling class.

The year 2014 with the ascendance to power by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies rekindled the hopes among Hindus. They saw tangible positive results of their dreams, hopes and aspirations. Court verdict clearing the path of Ram Mandir construction in Ayodhya boosted their morale.

On the other hand, instead of taking clue from the changed political scenario, the crest-fallen Opposition rallied around the ego- wounded fanatic Muslims who with the active support of other Muslim countries and also other enemy countries and organised demonstrations and mass sit-in protests in the name of CAA-NRC which in no way are against the interests of Indian Muslims. Then, the opposition parties dug their own graves by opposing senselessly each and every decision taken by the BJP/NDA governments.

These are the factors which have ignited the demand for declaring the country as the Hindu Rashtra. The BJP/NDA has no other alternative to promise publically as also in their election manifestos the declaration that if elected in 2024 hustings, they will officially declare the nation as a Hindu Rashtra.
