Any thing related to national hero Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose presents excitement, inspiration and positive energyto real patriots.

A novel thing on this great patriot surfaced in Madhya Pradesh on the eve of 113th Netaji Jayanthi when a currency with a denomination of one lakh issued by Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose’s Bank of Independence was made public.

If the INA can conquer the British Army, this must have been be our currency.

The currency is similar to that of the present day Indian Rupee. Instead of Mohan Das Gandhi we can see the photograph of Rashtranayak Netaji on the left side of the currency and a map of unified Bharat (Akhant Bharat) with the inscription of Swantra Bharat in Hindi on the other.

In the middle, 'Jai Hind', the slogan of revolutionary patriots of INA and the entire nation, is inscribed in English language with the words 'I promise to pay the bearer the sum of one Lac' below it.

On the top of the currency, we can see the flags of Azad Hind Fauj and the inscription Bank of Independence.

The note was issued by a bank called Bank of Independence. Netaji established the Bank of Independence or Azad Hind Bank in 1944 in Rangoon to manage funds donated by the Indian community across the world for the liberation of Bharat Ram Kishore Dubey, a contractor in Madhya Pradesh found this currency in his grandfather’s Ramayana book in the 1980s.

His grandfather Praagilal was active in Netaji’s Azad Hind Fauj and passed away in 1958.

Praagilal provided his land for the Indian National Army and so Netaji rewarded him with this note assuring the amount in Independent Bharat.

The Chinese dragon spits fire on us…….

By Dipin Damodharan

A recent meeting comprising top officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Indian Army and Jammu Kashmir government concluded that India has lost a substantial amount of land to the dragon nation China in the last two decades. The meeting pointed out the absence of a proper map and the lack of coordination between different departments are the major reasons for the Chinese invasion.

The Chinese aggression happened very slowly over a long period of 25 years. It is only now the so-called secularists realizing that China is becoming a threat to our nation. Years back, nationalist thinkers and ideologues warned several times about the precarious actions of the communist nation. But the then ‘secular’ governments were not ready to hear the voice of real patriots. And finally the dragon attacked Bharat in 1962.

After the 1962 war, about 36,000 square kms of our land in Aksai Chin region has been conceded to Chinese side. But unfortunately our eyes had not open and we have not atoned our stand on China. But for the communists India was the real culprit of the 1962 war and their leaders like EMS and Jyoti Basu had openly expressed this view. Now, after the demise of Jyoti Basu, our Prime Minister described Basu as a great patriot. Excellent….this is real patriotism. I too pay tribute to Basu, but truth is sacrosanct and we have to accept it. Let us come to the real issue – the fire spitting Chinese dragon.

The indigenous people of Ladakh have been complaining of Chinese aggression for several years. The threats have been very much consistent since December, 2008. The local people have been assaulted both verbally and physically by the Chinese army. The Chinese have threatened the nomadic people who had been using Dokbug area in Ladakh sector for grazing since decades long, in a way to snatch our land in inches. Their pitched tents removed and firewood burnt. And the latest, the road workers in Demchok were verbally threatened by their Army, and the construction work was stopped. The Chinese are gaining by inches, yards, and even kilometers every time. According to the local people the Chinese Army were used similar tricks to acquire our land in past. Till 1984, India had claims over the Nang Tsang area, which is opposite Phukste air field. Now, it belongs to China.

Actually our soft stand had given momentum to Chinese aggression. Last year their troops had trespassed nearly 1.5km into our territory near Mount Gya and painted the boulders there with China in red spray paint. Also they opposed Prime Minister's visit to Arunachal Pradesh and claimed the state as their integral part, then they opposed Dalai Lama’s visit to the same. They have issued special visas to Kashmir residents on separate piece of paper. The Chinese dragon spits fire on us again and again…..Here I would like to remember Swami Vivekananda’s quote: Arise, Awake and protect, every inch of our motherland.

For survival the communists hijack Swami Vivekananda

By Dipin Damodharan

The Kerala state conference of Democratic Youth Federation of India (DYFI) was concluded in Trivandrum on January 11, 2009. In the posters of the conference we can see the picture of Swami Vivekananda along with Karl Marx and other Communist ideologues. How the youth organization of the Communist party of India can use Swami Vivekananda, the prophet of Hindu Nationalism, as their poster boy. Under these circumstances, in particular on the 147th birth anniversary of the great saint, a close look on the ideals and philosophy of Vivekananda is necessary.

Swami Vivekananda is a valiant monk who proclaimed the greatness of Hinduism in America at a time when the Europe and America considered Bharat as a land of superstitions. For him the land of Bharat has had special and sacred significance and he used to refer Bharat as the Punyabhumi. The basic ideology of communism is contrary to the ideology of cultural nationalism or Hindu Nationalism. The ultimate goal of Indian communists is to construct Bharat as a pure communist-autocratic state like China and Cuba. Their concept of nation is based on the communist ideology.

On the other side Swami Vivekananda’s concept about Bharat was a strong, powerful and aggressive Hindu Nation. Swamiji once said, Vedanta should be the very foundation on which Bharat has to build her edifice. According to Vivekananda, a Hindu or a Bharati is one who believes in the authority of the following: the authority of the Vedas, God, the cyclical order of creation and above all those who consider Mother and Motherland above heaven.

These are all alien to communists. The communists are never being a part of this order. Earlier they were not ready to accept Swami Vivekananda and national heroes like Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, Sardar Patel etc. History shows that the communists threw Vivekananda in the dust bin like a rotten egg, calling him a wild spiritualist; it was the RSS inspired organizations who found Swamiji as a big asset in the exercise of nation building. The relationship of Vivekananda with the Sangh movement is very much like a mother-son relationship. The second Sarsanghchalak of RSS, Shri Madhav Sadhashiv Golwalkar, was in Rama Krishna Mission in the 1930s. One of the most revered
leaders of the RSS, Baba Saheb Apte's life-long pet sentence was:
"Vivekananda is like Gita for the RSS."

For the Swayamsevaks Vivekananda’s philosophy has been an inspiration to perform selfless service to the nation. It was the RSS, under the leadership of Eknath Ranade, had built the Vivekananda memorial rock in Kanyakumari. Eknath Ranade also published a book on the ideals of Vivekananda titled, Rousing call to Hindu Nation in 1963. For the construction of rock, Ranade approached several leaders in India irrespective of their political parties. When he approached Jyoti Basu, the latter questioned, "How dare you come to me for Vivekananda, I am a communist.” This was the stand of communists on Vivekananda.

When the communists came to power in West Bengal, they removed Swami Vivekananda from several textbooks; these are only some instances of the anti-Hindu actions of the communists.

Now they are forced to change their stand on these great patriots because they realized that other wise they have no existence in this land of spirituality. Undoubtedly the present day communists will recognize Dr.Hedgewar and Madhav Sadhashiv Golwalkar in future. That means, in future the ideology of communism will be wiped out from Bharatavarsha.

Google needs a bold and aggressive reaction from Bharat

By Dipin Damodharan

How an IT company, based in United States, shown Arunachal Pradesh, a democratically elected government in India, as a disputed part in their map. When we open the Google maps’ China edition (http://ditu.google.com), a net surfer can get the information that Arunachal Pradesh is an undisputed part of China. Similarly when we open the Google India on http://maps.google.co.in , we can find Arunachal as a part of India. But the double standard of Google appear when one opens the map on the international edition http://maps.google.com , here Arunachal Pradesh is shown as a disputed territory. Google has a considerable business in India; the Indian government should take the issue in a serious manner. Google have to accept the reality that there is no confusion over the territory of Arunachal. Actually the soft stand taken by the Indian Government on the Indo-China border issue paved the way for Google to act like this.

The chronicle of a legendary patriot

By Dipin Damodharan
Revolution is an inalienable right of mankind.Freedom is an imperishable birh right of all-Bhagat Singh

On March 23 1931, three young patriots sacrificed their precious lives at the altar of motherland, the rashtrasevaks-Bhagat Singh, Shivram Rajguru and Sukhdev- had died with the mantra of 'Vandemataram' on their lips in their valiant struggle against British imperialism. It is easy to talk but very difficult to serve the country. Those who have ventured to serve the motherland have had to pass through acerbic experiences. The painful lives of these patriots are inexplicable. Sometimes we may not find the stories of these dedicated rashtrasevaks in our history textbooks penned by pseudo historians.

Bhagat Singh gave a new dimension to the revolutionary movement in the independence struggle of Bharat. Some historians pointed out that his popularity was more than that of Gandhiji in the time of his execution. Bhagat Singh was born on September 27 1907, to Sardar Kishan Singh and Vidyavati, at the village of Khatkarkalan near Banga in Lyallpur, Punjab. He had born into a family of freedom fighters. His grandfather Arjun was an activist of Arya Samaj and his father Kishan Singh and Uncle Ajith Singh were members of Ghadar party, founded in US intended to throw out the British rule in Bharat.

The death sentence of audacious freedom fighter and Ghadar party activist Kartar Singh Sarabha, at the age of 19, by the British made a deep impression on young Bhagat's mind.

Bhagat was brought up in a politically tensed state of Punjab, the bystander of the brutal Jallian Walla Bagh massacre on April 13, 1919. As a child of 12, Bhagat went to the Jallian Walla Park and collect the soil from the spot in his lunch box and subsequent to that he avowed a pledge to devote his life for Bharatmaa.

Bhagat studied in Dayanand Anglo Vedic School and later in the National College of Lahore. Lala Lajpat Rai and Bhai Parmanand had set up the National College for those who had been left their institution to join the national movement. There Bhagat came into contact with highly persevering teachers like Prof Jayachandra Vidyalankar, Prof P C Mehta and C R Gupta etc. The nationalist thoughts of these Professors in the National College in particular, Prof Jayachandra Vidyalankar, had profound influence on Bhagat Singh.

Prof Vidyalankar introduced Bhagat to Scheendranath Sanyal, a great revolutionary leader and founder of HRA (Hindustan Republican Association). Bhagat encultured the primary lessons of politics through Sacheendra Sanyal and also found his political role model in him. Bhagat turned out to be a member of HRA in 1924 and that conferred him the opportunity to socialize with revolutionary patriots like Pandit Ramaprasad Bismil (An Arya Samaj activist and a pracharak of Hindu Rashtra), Chandra Shekar Azad, Mohammed Ashfaqullah Khan and Rajendra Lahiri.

The purpose of HRA was to create a Federative Republic of Indian States rooted in the ideology of Sanathan Dharma. Afterward the organization was renamed as HSRA (Hindustan Socialist Republican Association) under the leadership of Bhagat Singh and Azad in order to unify the revolutionary movements all over the country. In 1926 Bhagat formed another revolutionary organization, Naujawan Bharat Sabha (in Lahore), to attract the youth of Punjab to join the national movement

The non-violent protest of national leaders against the Simon Commission on October 30, 1928 was viciously suppressed by the British police and resulted in the death of Lala Lajpat Rai. This embarrassed Bhagat and on December 7 1928, with the help of Azad and Jaigopal, Bhagat and Rajguru assassinated police official J P Saunders to avenge the death of Lalaji.

The British Government quelled the revolutionary movement with black laws and a policy of oppression. The common men were under the clutches of inhuman laws of the Englishmen. HSRA strong-willed to throw bombs in the Central Assembly while the presentation of two inhuman bills (the public safety bill and the trade dispute bill). 0n April 8 1929, Bhagat and Batkeshwar Dutt threw a bomb on to the corridors of the assembly by raising the slogan long live revolution; down with imperialism.

The police had nabbed Bhagat and Dutt and the court sentenced them to transportation for life. While in Jail he underwent a 64-day fast, demanding equal rights for Indian and British political prisoners. The strike ended with the British succumbing to the demands of Bhagat. Subsequently the British came to know about the role of Bhagat Singh in Saunders murder case (the case was known as Lahore conspiracy case). Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Rajguru were sentenced to Capital punishment for Lahore Conspiracy Case.

On March 23 1931, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged in Lahore jail and their bodies were cremated at Hussainiwala on the banks of river Sutlej.

Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary ahead of his times. By revolution he means the present order of things, which is based on manifest injustice, must change. Bhagat's concept was firmly rooted in the ancient culture and tradition of Bharat. Thus his vision is similar to that of the Akhant Bharat Sankalp of RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh). Furthermore he had been a well-wisher of RSS and an admirer of Dr.Hedgewar. Bhagat came to know about the activities of Sangh through his friend Rajguru, an active Swayamsevak and his comrade in HSRA. But unfortunately Bhagat’s ideals are misinterpreted by some groups to achieve their vested interests.

Bhagat Singh influenced generations in a short lifespan of 23 years. For him death for the country was bliss. The incredible story of this extraordinary patriot is an unfailing source of inspiration to all patriots who are serving Bharat Bhavani by asserting the mantra: Janani janma bhumishcha swargatapi gareeyasi (Mother and Motherland are sacred than heaven).

Hindu Rashtra

Hindu Rashtra

By Dipin Damodharan
'uttaram yat samudrassya Himadreschaiva dakshinam
varsham tad Bharatam nama Bharati yetr santatihi' (VishnuPurana)

It describes our country as the one extending to the north of the seas and lying to the south of the Himalayas and calls it Bharat and her children as Bharatis.

When we discuss of Hindu Rashtra, the word Hindu is not to be equated with any particular form of worship. It is not what is cannoted by the English word religion. The word Hindu stands for our entire society, those who live in this country and accept the fact that this is an ancient nation with a long history and a hoary tradition and willing to share it are all covered by that word; they are all members of the Hindu Rashtra and believers in Hindutva.

Hindu Rashtra has been living on this land and it has a common dharma and samskriti, a common sharing of joys and sorrows, a common appraisal of enemies and friends and a common aspiration for the future. Then, there is its glorious lineage of noble ancestors, the great men and seers who have protected and enriched the nation. This Hindu samaj cherishes a natural desire to make the nation strong prosperous and great in all repects, to attain such cultural rights that each individual members of its becomes a model for all mankind in character and righteous conduct. Unlike other nations this society would like to use this national strength not for the destruction of other people but for the service of the world because that in fact has been the mandate of our forefathers.

Hindutva is a self- sustaining, self renewing jungle phenomenon and is nearest to nature and assimilative in character. Hindutva is a non - geometrical forest where in old trees live out their life clearing the atmosphere from the pollutants so that man and animal can live, even when the trees and vegetation die, their remains work as nutrients for their new generation. Hindutva is thus a self - renewing way of life. In relation to other nations Hinduism stands for a harmonious synthesis among nation and not for their obliteration.

The nation Bharat is a culmination of long past of heroic endeavours, selfless sacrifices and glorious deeds of devotion........ To have common glories uin the past, to have common will in the present, to have performed great deeds together and to wish to perform still more; these are the essential conditions for being the citizen of a country.

Hindus are not just a religious community, but a nation; Hindu Rashtra is not a political concept. Nation( Rashtra) and state( Rajya) are two differnt concepts and should not be mixed up. State is purely a political concept. Nation is eternal while the state is transitory. If the state is the body , the nation is its soul(atma). In Hindu philosophy the atma is eternal and only the bodies and their forms are changed. The Hindu Rashtra has been existing since time immemorial and it shall continue to exist forever. Hindu Rashtra is a cultural and emotional concept, eternally assering itself. It makes clear that national sentiment is supreme, and all other sentiments, whether religious or sectional, should remain subservient to it.

People belonging to various religions in this country are all Hindus by culture and are nationals of Bharata varsha. Any person born in this country irrespective of his or her religion, with the proviso that he or she loves Bharat or respect its cultural traditions are all Hindus. Logically, the national heroes of Hindu Rashtra like Ram and Krishna should be reverd by all the nationals irrespectivr of their religious beliefs.

Our Nation is Our Pride, Jai Hind

Doctorji -The Organiser

By Dipin Damodharan
We have been blessed with a perennial tradition of dedicated national leaders who sacrificed every thing for the nation and society. Dr Keshav Rao Beliram Hedgewar (Doctorji) was such a bravura leader. Hedgewar was a pure nationalist; his magnanimous life had only one aim - the liberation of Bharat from the invaders. He realized that the only way to liberate Bharat from the British rule was to reorganize the Hindu Samaj; this was the aim behind the formation of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The organization (RSS) started with only five members at Nagpur on the Vijay Dashmi day of 1925, has now spread its influence into every aspect of India’s civil society. The four other persons present at the occasion were Dr B S Moonje, Dr L V Paranjape, Dr B B Thalkar and Babarao Savarkar.

Keshav was born to Baliram Pandh and Revathi Bhai on April 1, 1889, in Nagpur. In his schooldays he was rusticated from the school for leading the Vandemataram movement. After completing the school education, Keshav was inspired by Moonje, his political guru, to join the National Medical College Calcutta. There he got associated with Anushilan Samiti, the revolutionary organization in Bengal, and participated in their activities.

After completing his education Doctorji returned to Nagpur and started to practice his profession, but soon abandoned it for fulltime political activities.

He entered in the Congress politics as a solid follower of Bal Gangadhar Tilak and joined in the central provinces. Doctorji participated in the non cooperation movement and was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for one year. The consequences of the movement profoundly disillusioned him. Hedgewar regretted that Indian Muslims had proved themselves Muslims first and Indians only secondarily. When the khilafat demand was given up in Turkey, they withdraw from the national movement.

Doctorji believed that Bharat was a mighty and prosperous nation long before recorded history. Due to the lack of national consciousness and awful habits like hatred, jealousy, and selfishness, the Hindus succumbed to the invaders. Hence Doctorji thought that an anti- British struggle would not be enough for Bharat’s problems. The sovereign panacea was the arousal of national consciousness and building up of national solidarity. The dawn of RSS (September 27, 1925) in Indian history is to achieve this aim, to unify and revitalize Hindu Samaj and to establish a strong Hindu Rashtra. The supreme goal of RSS is to achieve the all round glory and greatness of Bharatmaa.

The achievement of Param Vaibhav - the pinnacle of national glory- is the ultimate aim of the Sangh. Therefore the RSS is engaged in awakening and organizing the people of Bharat by instilling in them intense national consciousness and character as a spirit of discipline and dedication to high national values. Sangh's concept of nation is cultural but culture is all comprehensive, all embracing and all absorbing. Culture encompasses every aspect of national life.

Mahatma Gandhi visited the Wardha camp (near Sevagram) of RSS in 1934. Gandhi was astonished to see that during lunch or dinner there was no separate queue for the so called untouchables. Many swayamsevaks even didn’t know the caste of person beside them. When Gandhi surprised of this miracle, Doctorji replied, here there is no space for caste division, here all are Bharatis. Dr Ambedkar also visited the camp and was amazed by the simplicity with which casteism was replaced by unity and equality.

Doctorji's organizational skill, missionary zeal and perseverance helped the RSS to grow considerably in a short period. By 1940, when Doctorji died, the RSS had a nationwide presence except in Assam, Orrissa, and Kashmir. “I see before my eyes today a miniature of Hindu Rashtra, Doctorji said in his last speech to the trainees of 1940 Nagpur Officers Training Camp (OTC).

Our Nation is Our Pride, Jai Hind
