Another reason after reading some posts here why Hindu Nationalism is spoken in a pejorative sense is also those that some intrinsically accept Excluvist Doctrine as not being a threat to Native cultures for some reason. The reasons can be: 1. Ignorance of excluvist doctrine or 2. Assumption that mo...

Actually Rajesh Ji is right in the Neti Neti part. Hindus were originally defined as that group in the subcontinent that were not Christian, Jewish, Parsi. It clubbed all Non Abrahmics together. So while Christians and Muslims could be described as practioners of a well defined Faith, it was difficu...

Rajesh Ji, i am saying RSS isn't anything like the scummy Fascist organizations of the early 20th Century! They cannot be, its not in the DNA! And if they are not, then they shouldn't be keeping the superficial attributes about themselves. If they were like the Fascists they'd go to a village, line ...

There is one aspect that many identify with RW Hindutva baseness that has not been mentioned here. That of propensity towards the early to mid 20th century Fascist movements. There is both fact and fallacy in this judgement ironically. While movements like RSS were impressed with the 'discipline' an...

The Evolution vs Absolutism debate: This is a key concept to understand to differentiate our ethos vs the Abrahmic one. The concept of reincarnation of the soul to Judgement day. The stress our ethos we give to evolve from Tamas (darkness) to Light. While our Dharmic ethos stresses on the individual...

Actually the whole Dharmic: Abrahmic issue is about Evolution vs Absolutism. Dharmic stresses on evolution Tamas to Sattva and beyond. It underlines the process and means. Meditation, Yoga etc. Abrahmics stress on absolutism to achieve goals. Commandments, Thou do this and that etc. Most Indics incl...

Upholding Dharma isn't an abstract thing. Its about upholding certain ideal tenets/values/qualities. Its about understanding these ideals aren't achieved in an "Absolutist Jiffy" but in an endeavour to evolve towards them. The result is a State that upholds or attempts to uphold it or enco...

Spirituality in the Indic sense is that process which helps one evolve from Tamas to Sattva and ultimately beyond the Gunas. Gurus help in the process of "Self Evolvement". This Spiritual evolution is enhanced and encouraged by a Dharmic State whose rulers provide the necessary meta ethic ...

Bajwa ji, classic case where Sampradayic orthodoxy rules being attempted to be imposed on Governing meta ethic. Dharmic rule was supposed to circumvent this aspect.

Was about to post the RSS cartoon that says it all, but see it's up already. Many of us have been warning about WB for years.

People who did these kind of Tamsic sacrifices were what foreigners labelled with some truth as "outcastes' of Hindu society. Shunned. Then at some point Hindu samaj claimed them and now they say hey how shameful this is part of Hinduism and hey why don't you put pressure on them to stop this (...

^ This is the exact trap that terminology gets us into. Truth is the Temple in Gadhmai has only a stone for breaking of coconuts.

Couple of questions harbans: 1. Is it a good model where every person aspires to be Sattvic? 2. If not how do you enforce peace and protection where there is a mix ?

If one needs to comprehend how and why a Dharmic Rashtra may be the answer, one has to understand two important issues: 1. How a core doctrine affects a society that chooses it. 2. Evolution vs Absolutism The first in brief: Over the years i have seen many Indians hardly give a damn to doctrine. Eve...

Rajesh ji, good constructs once again. However what has happened is in the western concept of Rule/ Law based religion, by putting Dharma = Religion they equated the Meta Ethic system with Sampradayic mores. The mores became the governing meta ethic. Islam still harps on Sharia which is nothing but ...

It was insisted in Indian society from time memorial that the ruler be steeped in Dharmic ethic. Then only the rule of Dharma could be established. In modern times people have lots of questions and society is more complex. So if we say there is a Dharmic meta ethic we also must constitutionally lay ...

Peter: Its not HInduism that believes there is no single path, its the Dharmic meta ethic. Krishna stresses that too in the BG.

Every canon of Buddhism was propagated by Dharmic Brahmins. Every one of them. As have mentioned before the Dharmic Panths are all Sattva based and look down on Tamas and Rajas.

Rajesh ji, thanks. Adding further, one must realize than anything exotic, exceptional is added to the Hinduism banner.
