Demonizing Sanskrit

Let us look at a passage written by Amir Khusro, a fourteenth century poet, praising the languages of our great country:

As I was born in Hind, I may be allowed to say a word respecting its languages. There is at this time in every province a language peculiar to itself, and not borrowed from any other—Sindi, Lahori, Kashmiri, the language of Dugar,” Dhur Samundar, Tilang, Gujarat, Ma’bar, Gaur, Bengal, Oudh, Dehli and its environs. These are all languages of Hind, which from ancient times have been applied in every way to the common purposes of life.

But there is another language more select than the others, which all the Brahmans use. Its name from of old is Sanskrit, and the common people know nothing of it. A Brahman knows it, but Brahmani women do not understand a word of it. It bears a resemblance to Arabic in some respects, in its permutations of letters, its grammar, its conjugations, and polish. They have four books in that language, which they are constantly in the habit of repeating. Their name is Bed. They contain stories of their gods, but little advantage can be derived from their perusal. Whatever other stories and fables they have, is contained in kabits, parwAnas, and namahs. The language possesses rules for composition and eloquence. The language is very precious, inferior to Arabic, but superior to Dari ; and though the latter is certainly sweet and melodious, yet even in that respect this language does not yield to it.

 Now compare it with the way it has been presented in the NCERT text book of class 7.

Page 10, Book - OUR PASTS - 2

Notice the differences?

Firstly, the sentence – 'These are all the languages of Hind' has been removed.

Secondly, the praise of Sanskrit has been omitted deliberately.

Why would you remove those words which re – inforce the unity and appreciation of our mother land? And why would anyone remove praise of Sanskrit?

The answer to both the questions is that the forces hostile to our country have been trying to discredit everything that has cultural and unifying value. And as the present textbooks indicate, these hateful forces are now infesting our democratic institutions to undermine them from within.

It is not that these forces were not there earlier. They have always been there.

In the year 1994, the minister of HRD, Arjun Singh, removed Sanskrit from the list of optional subjects for class XII of CBSE. Arjun Singh is remembered as the Congress Minister who was the first person to support Sonia Gandhi as Congress president. The reason given by him to remove Sanskrit, even as an elective subject, was that the Government did not have enough resources to teach Persian and Arabic.

The matter was challenged in the Supreme Court and the honorable court severely reprimanded the government move. In the stinging judgement, the court had a special mention about the significance of Sankrit. It reads:

Place of Sanskrit in our educational ethos.

11. It is well known that Sanskrit is a mother of all Indo-Aryan languages and it is this language in which our Vedas, Puranas and Upanishadas have been written and in which Kalidas, Bhavbuti, Banbhatta and Dandi wrote their classics. Teachings of Shankracharya, Ramanuj, Madhwacharya, Nimbark and Vallabhacharya would not have been woven into the fabric of Indian culture if Sanskrit would not have been available to them as a medium of expressing their thoughts.

12. The report of the Sanskrit Commission (set up by the Government of India) which was submitted in 1957 speaks eloquently about the importance of Sanskrit. We do not purpose to burden this judgment will all that was said by the Commission in this regard. It would be enough for our purpose if we take note of some passages finding place in the report which highlight the quality, substance, content and strength of Sanskrit. At page 71 of the report it has been mentioned that Sanskrit is one of the greatest languages of the world and it is the classical language par excellence not only of India but of a good part of Asia as well. At page 73 the report states that the Indian people and the Indian civilisation were born, so to say, in the lap of Sanskrit and it went "hand in hand with the historical development of the Indian people, and gave the noblest expression to their mind and culture which has come down to our day as an inheritance of priceless order for India, nay, for the entire world". The report further speaks at page 74 about the "great mental and spiritual link" of Sanskrit and of it being the elder sister of Greek and Latin, and cousin of English, French and Russian.

Again the the para 17, the court noted that:

We also propose to refer to what was said by the Sanskrit Commission on the subject of "Sanskrit and National Solidarity" in Chapter IV of its report. The Commission has, in this context first stated that Sanskrit is the "embodiment of Indian culture and civilisation". It then observes that the Indian People look upon Sanskrit as the binding force for the different peoples of this great country, which was described as the greatest discovery which, the Commission made as it travelled from Kerala to Kashmir and from Kamarupa to Saurastra. The Commission, while so travelling, found that though the people of this country differed in a number of ways, they all were proud to regard themselves as participants in a common heritage; and that heritage emphatically is the heritage of Sanskrit. According to the Commission one of the witnesses which appeared before it went to the length of suggesting that if the Sanskrit Commission had come before the States Reorganisation Commission, many of the recent bickerings in our national life could have been avoided. (Pages 80 and 81).

and then the SC concluded that

20. We, therefore, conclude by saying that in view of importance of Sanskrit for nurturing our cultural heritage, because of which even the official education policy has highlighted the need of study of Sanskrit, making of Sanskrit alone as an elective subject, while not conceding this status to Arabic and/or Persian, would not in any way militate against the basic tenet of secularism. There is thus no merit in the first objection raised by the Board.

21. In the aforesaid premises, we direct the Board to include Sanskrit as an elective subject in the syllabus under consideration. Necessary amendment in the syllabus shall be made within a period of three months from today.

A few years later, when Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government was formed, the HRD minister Murli Manohar Joshi was sympathetic to the cause of Sanskrit, therefore, the language survived in the curriculum.

But, the dirty tricks department was still working to attack the venerated language. According to India Express of 31/12/2000, one Kancha Illaiah of Hyderabad announced at India's national conference on Human rights that - “We want to kill Sanskrit”. 

 He claims to be a champion of Dalits and is frequently invited by American missionary organizations based Gospel for Asia and Dalit Freedom Network (DFN). In fact, he has been awarded a post doctoral fellowship by DFN. Funnily, his hatred does not stop at Sanskrit but he also advocates that the “IITs and IIMs should be shut down as they pander to the upper cast economy of the country”.

According to his article in Deccan Chronicle in 2013, Kancha considers Sonia Gandhi alongwith Annie Besant, Agnes Teresa, and Gail Omvedt to be four foreign women who have left a deep imprint on India. It is interesting to note that Kancha and Gail use the pseudo scientific racism which was used during colonial times by Britishers. His book titled 'Why I am not a Hindu' is is full of hatred againstHinduism and Brahmans. This book is sponsored by Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, headed by Sonia Gandhi. Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi, alongwith P Chidambaram are the members of executive committee of this foundation.

His vitriolic outburst did not bring any change in the NCERT policy at that time. The job to block Sanskrit was taken over by a woman called Aruna Roy. She filed a public interest litigation in the Supreme Court. She wanted the removal of Sanskrit from the list of subjects which students of India can study in schools. The argument put forward for this preposterous demand was that this was 'anti secular' and Sanskrit was being imposed on the students.

The SC had again to remind these 'activists' that:

For Sanskrit language being imposed, it has been pointed that allegation is wholly wrong. The provisions only enable this language to be taught to those students who wish to study it. Sanskrit may be made available as an additional option at the secondary stage and as suitable elective course to all those who wish to study it at the higher secondary stage. It is also pointed out that Sanskrit is one of the official languages of India. Reliance is placed on Santosh Kumar's case (Supra), wherein this Court has emphasized the importance of Sanskrit study and declared the omission of Sanskrit from CBSE syllabus as unjustified.

"19. .we entertain no doubt in our mind that teaching of Sanskrit alone as an elective subject can in no way be regarded as against secularism. Indeed, our Constitution requires giving of fillip to Sanskrit because of what has been stated in Article 351, in which while dealing with the duty of the Union to promote the spread of Hindi, it has been provided that it would draw, whenever necessary or desirable, for its vocabulary, primarily on Sanskrit. Encouragement to Sanskrit is also necessary because of it being one of the languages included in the Eighth Schedule.

20. We, therefore, conclude by saying that in view of importance of Sanskrit for nurturing our cultural heritage, because of which even the official education policy has highlighted the need of study of Sanskrit, making of Sanskrit alone as an elective subject, while not conceding this status to Arabic and/or Persian, would not in any way militate against the basic tenet of secularism. There is thus no merit in the first objection raised by the Board."

Although she did not get any success with the SC, but when the regime changed in 2004, she was inducted into an extra constitutional body called National Advisory Council, headed by Sonia Gandhi.

The change in regime also presented the chance to subvert NCERT from within. The example of distortion of Khusro's statement fits neatly into this pattern. In 2004, Arjun Singh was again gifted with the post of HRD Minister. Since then the status of Sanskrit has been gradually undermined. The more sinister attack on Sanskrit has been inserted into the history textbooks by revising them from 2005 - 2007.

All the symbols of our tradition and heritage are under a systematic attack, including Brahmans and holy scriptures. The terms and words have been strategically chosen to create a wrong perception. 

To ensure that the trickery is well established in the impressionable minds of the young children, there is a question placed on the next page asking the students about the statement of Khusro about the knowledge of Sanskrit.

Those who know a little bit of applied psychology know that the best form of propaganda is to let the victim think that it is his own thought and not a plant by someone. What other way to do it then by asking such mischievous questions!
Pay a closer attention to this page and you will find that Brahmans are being systematically maligned. In next issue, we will discuss the attack on Brahmans.

SLICING OFF SOUTH INDIA

Ever since the missionaries landed on the holy land of भारतवर्ष, They have been trying to slice off chunks of populations and land mass for converting the followers of सनातन धर्म into their own criminal creed.  One of the tools they employed was to portray that the idea of India as a nation state is a recent phenomenon and it never existed earlier. One sub plot of this devious plan is to show that the southern part of our country was never part of this consciousness and belongs to a different race, called Dravidian race (a term coined by missionary Caldwell). 

The NCERT goons of the present regime have picked up the thread from there under the tutelage of the Italian mafiosi. Take a look at this extract from the book of class 7. 

Take the term "Hindustan", for example. Today we understand it as "India", the modern nation – state. When the term was used in the thirteenth century by Minhaj – i – Siraj, a chronicler who wrote in Persian, he meant the areas of Punjab, Haryana and the lands between the Ganga and Yamuna. He used the term in a political sense for lands that were a part of the dominions of the Delhi Sultan. The areas included in this term shifted with the extent of the Sultanate but the term never included south India. By contrast, in the early sixteenth century Babur used Hindustan to describe the geography, the fauna and the culture of the inhabitants of the subcontinent. As we will see later in the chapter, this was somewhat similar to the way the fourteenth - century poet Amir Khusrau used the word "Hind". While the idea of a geographical and cultural entity like "India" did exist, the term "Hindustan" did not carry the political and national meanings which we assosiate with it today.

In short, South India was not a part of India. This is what the evangelists are using to create the North - South divide. 

Let us look at the facts.

Notice that the most famous chronicler 'Al - Beruni' is missing from the list.

The reason is that his description of India does not fit the agenda of the church. This is how Al - Beruni describes India

As to the orographic configuration of the inhabitable imagine a range of towering mountains like the vertebrae of a pine stretching through the middle latitude of the earth, and in longitude from east to west, passing through China, Tibet, the country of the Turks, Kabul, Badhakhshan, Tokharistan, Bamiyan, Elghor, Khurasan, Media, Adharbaijan, Armenia, the Roman Empire, the country of the Franks, and of the Jalalika (Gallicians). Long as this range is, it has also a considerable breadth, and, besides, many windings which enclose inhabited plains watered by streams which descend from the mountains both towards north and south. One of these plains is India, limited in the south by the above-mentioned Indian Ocean, and on all three other sides by the lofty mountains, the waters of which flow down to it.

The middle of India is the country round Kanoj, which they call Madhyadesa, i.e. the middle of the realms. It is the middle or centre from a geographical point of view, in so far as it lies half way between the sea and the mountains, in the midst between the hot and the cold provinces, and also between the eastern and western frontiers of India. But it is a political centre too, because in former times it was the residence of their most famous heroes and kings. The country of Sindh lies to the west of Kanoj. In marching from our country to Sindh we start from the country of Nimroz, i.e. the country of Sijistan, whilst marching to Hind or India proper we start from the side of Kabul. This, however, is not the only possible road. You may march into India from all sides, supposing that you can remove the obstacles in the way.

If still some doubts remain, they are dispelled by Al Beruni. He continues:

The southern frontier of India is formed by the southern ocean. The coast of India begins with Tiz, the capital of frontiers of Makran, and extends thence in a south-eastern direction towards the region of Al-daibal (देवालय was the first city fort of Sindh which was marauded by bigot called Muhammad bin Qasim) , over a distance of 40 farsakh. Between the two places lies the Gulf of Turan. A gulf is like an angle or a winding line of water penetrating from the ocean into the continent, and is dangerous for navigation, specially on account of ebb and flood. An estuary is something similar to a gulf, but is not formed by the ocean's penetrating into the continent. It is formed by an expanse of flowing water, which there is changed into standing water and is connected with the ocean. These estuaries, too, are dangerous for the ships, because the water is sweet and does not bear heavy bodies as well as salt water does. After the above-mentioned gulf follow the small Munha, the great Munha, then the Bawarij, i.e. the pirates of Kacch and Somanath. They are thus called because they commit their robberies on sea in ships called hira. The places on the coast are : Tawwalleshar, 50 farsakh from Debal ; Loharani, 12 farsakh; Baga, 12 farsakh; Kacch (कच्च), where the mukl-tree grows, and Baroi, 6 farsakh; Somanath (सोमनाथ), 14 farsakh; Kanbayat (खम्बात), 30 farsakli ; Asaivil, 2 days ; Bihroj, 30 farsakh (?) ; Sandan, 50 farsakh ; Subara, 6 farsakh ; Tana, 5 farsakh.

Thence the coast-line comes to the country Larm, in which lies the city of Jiniur, then to Vallabha, Kanji, Darvad (धारवाड़). Next follows a great bay in which Singaldib lies,  i.e. the island Sarandib (Ceylon श्रीलंका ). Round the bay lies the city of Panjaydvar (sic). When this city had fallen into ruins, the king, Jaur, built instead of it, on the coast towards the west, a new city which he called Padnar. The next place on the coast is Ummalnara, then Ramsher (रामेश्वरम) opposite Sarandib ; the distance of the sea between them is 12 farsakh. The distance from Panjayavar to Ramsher is 40 farsakh, that between Ramsher and Setubandha 2 farsakh. Setubandha means bridge of the ocean. It is the dike of Rama, the son of Dasaratha, which he built from the continent to the castle Lanka. At present it consists of isolated mountains between which the ocean flows. Sixteen farsakh from Setubandha towards the east is Kihkind (किश्किन्दा), the mountains of the monkeys.

There goes the missionary propaganda for a toss.

MUSLIMS SHOULD RETURN TO HINDUISM

Official historians of India are a funny lot. Read the following statement:

In theory, if Internet and information technology are not controlled by the state then those with access to them will claim to be free of the fear of becoming closed minds.

Ha!

Internet should be controlled by the state. Sounds like communist China??

You are not farther off the mark. Communist part is alright. The location is India. The gem comes from 'numero uno' of Marxist hisotrians, Romila Thapar.

Internet is the worst nightmare of all control freaks. That would mean Islamists, Missionaries and Commies. All the three hang out together at NCERT. Although they are arch enemies outside the borders of India but within they have joined hands to fight their common enemy - सनातन धर्म।

Those folks who have bought the bogey of 'All religions are same' or the foolish notion of 'सर्व धर्म सम भाव' are at a loss to understand the cause of hatred towards सनातन धर्म by the votaries of above mentioned three creeds. The reason is simple: The सनातन ideology is about freedom and meritocracy. It says if you are brainy then be a ब्राह्मण, if you are brawny then be a क्षत्रिय, If you have a penchant for worldly affairs be a वैश्य and if you want instructions from superiors then be a शूद्र । Every one has his own धर्म, called स्वधर्म। There is a wide corpus of literature to choose from and follow. Or even not to follow. No one will come to cut your throat.

On the other hand the three predatory creeds have the strange idea of one book which is to be revered. It is the basis of all actions of life. Those who do not follow this one book word for word are labeled as 'Infidels', 'Kaafirs' or 'Capitalists'. They have to be either converted or killed. The dictum is 'You are with us or you are with them'. Period.

That is why they are scared of सनातन धर्म। This sense of insecurity is not unfounded. These three creeds have thrived with the backing of violence and bloodshed, therefore they are giants with feet of clay. What happens to such giants can be seen in erstwhile Soviet Russia. They are bound to fall flat on their noses. It is just a matter of time. They resort to all kind of tactics. They fall to the level of brainwashing school going kids. Children who go to school with the thought that the persons appointed to teach them about the truth are being fooled by the fraudsters sitting at NCERT. 

 Read the adjoining extract carefully. They are supposedly teaching the Islamic concept of Zimmi to the school going children who do not suspect the authors of the book.

Jews and Christians lived under Muslim rulership. They paid a tax called Jizya and gained the right to be protected by Muslims. In Inda this status was extended to Hindus as well.

Look at the choice of words!!? The worst crook will blush at the blatant manner of these 'scholars'. 

status was extended to Hindus.

It seems as if it was some kind of a gift being handed over to Hindus. Like an olive branch. And Hindus should be grateful to the Muslims. Let us get a reality check.

The fact is that Muslim dacoits tried to kill all the Hindu men and take their women as sex slaves. But the Hindus with steel spine kept up the fight and resistance. Then the dacoits decided to let some of them live a life of abject surrender and poverty. One example will suffice.

When Allauddin Khilji was the chief Dacoit (Sultan is just a glorified word for these dacoits) in New Delhi, he sent for a Qazi named Mughisuddeen to find out how Hindus should be treated as per Islamic doctrine. When the Qazi came (The discussion, highlighted in blue has been taken from 'History of India as told by its own historian' Vol. 3 by Elliot and Dowson as translated from 'Tarikh e Firoz Shahi' pp 184-185)

The Sultan then asked, " How are Hindus designated in the law, as payers of tribute (Kharaj - guza) or givers of tribute {kharaj-dih) ?" The Kazi replied, "They are called payers of tribute, and when the revenue officer demands silver from them, they should, without question and with all humility and respect, tender gold. If the officer throws dirt into their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths wide to receive it. By doing so they show their respect for the officer. The due subordination of the zimmi (tribute-payer) is exhibited in this humble payment and by this throwing of dirt into their mouths. The glorification of Islam is a duty, and contempt of the Religion is vain. Allah holds them in contempt, for he says, 'Keep them under in subjection.' To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet, and because the Prophet has commanded us to slay them, plunder them, and make them captive, saying, ' Convert them to Islam or kill them, enslave them and spoil their wealth and property.' No doctor but the great doctor (Hanifa), to whose school we belong, has assented to the imposition of the jizya (poll tax) on Hindus. Doctors of other schools allow no other alternative but 'Death or Islam.'" 

Can there be anything more crooked then this?!!

Throw dirt into the mouth of Hindu and Hindu must submissively open his mouth?!! This is what NCERT says as 'status was extended to them'.
These were the oppressive conditions which सनातन धर्म has survived. The present day Muslims in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan are the off springs of such inhuman conditions which were levied on their forefathers. They have a right to know the circumstances which led to their conversions.
Let us get back to the discussion between Khilji and Qazi.

The Sultan smiled at this answer of the Kazi's, and said, "I do not understand any of the statements thou hast made ; Now you tell me that it is all in accordance with law that the Hindus should be reduced to the most abject obedience." Then the Sultan said, " Oh, doctor, thou art a learned man, but thou hast had no experience ; I am an unlettered man, but I have seen a great deal ; be assured then that the Hindus will never become submissive and obedient till they are reduced to poverty. I have, therefore, given orders that just sufficient shall be left to them from year to year, of corn, milk, and curds, but that they shall not be allowed to accumulate hoards and property."

It is these Hindus who would have felt the crushing weight of oppressive measures. Some of them would have accepted the Islamic creed for the well being of their family. The day this realization will sink into the Muslims (at least the intelligent ones), the shop if Mullahs will be shut down and the brazen liars like Zakir Naik will have to find a different job. 

Till then we have to keep putting forward the truth. It will prevail.

Take a look at how NCERT is throwing mud on सनातन धर्म 

HINDU WOMEN DISTRIBUTED AMONG MUSLIMS

Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again.

        - Will Durant, "The Lessons of History"

How true !!

The institutions dishing out history to our nation, like NCERT and ICHR, have been interrupting this transmission for about 65 years because they actually want the oldest civilization on our planet to die.

 The adjoining image of NCERT book for class 12 has been cunningly titled. The sleigh of hand can not be discerned by teenagers. Even adults would fail to notice the wickedness of the title. Women slavery has been clubbed with Sati. Sati is a practice which is clearly associated with Hinduism. To know more about it, read Sati Pratha and Christian fanatics. Behind this smoke screen, the crooks at NCERT are hiding the slavery of women which is institutionaized in Islam. Look at the last sentence in the box titled 'Slave women'. It reads:

Most female slaves were captured in raids and expeditions. 

Further down, on the same page, it states that:

It appears from Ibn Battuta’s account that there was considerable differentiation among slaves. Some female slaves in the service of the Sultan were experts in music and dance, and Ibn Battuta enjoyed their performance at the wedding of the Sultan's sister.

What these crooks are not telling is that these slaves were Hindu women who had been brutally snatched from their family and were sold to, or worse, gifted as trophies to the henchmen of the Sultan. 

Here is what Ibn Batuta tells about the slaves:

Page 238 of 'Tughlaq kalin Bharat' by S.A.A. Rizvi

At that time, some infidel women were collected as war booty and out of them ten were gifted to me. I handed over one of them to the person who had brought them to me. He was not satisfied with it. My companions took three out of those young women. I have no recollection about the rest of them. The women collected as war booty are very cheap in this country. They are filthy and not well conversant in urbane manners. Trained concubines are also very cheap here, as a result, there is no need to buy sex slaves here.

For the rascals sitting at NCERT, this will give away the tortures that the Hindu society has suffered at the hands of these bigots. Women were sold like pieces of dirt. The best way to hide the ugly face of barbaric creeds is to throw a lot of mud on the gentlest of civilizations.
The Hindu women, who were unlucky enough to fall into the hands of Islamic monsters were forced to sing and dance like prostitutes in front of the murderers of their near and dear ones. Then they were gifted to these rascals to satiate their lust. 

Is it any wonder that a large number of women preferred to die as a sati, instead of living the worst possible life.

Then there is another entry in the book of Ibn Batuta titled Eed ka darbaar. Most of the Hindus think that Islamic occasions are also some kind of festive humane celebrations. Eed is one of such Islamic occasions. This is exactly what NCERT wants us to believe. Well, let us take a look at the proceedings of this 'holy' day.

ईद का दरबार 

Page 188 of 'Tughlaq kalin Bharat' by S.A.A. Rizvi

It explains that when Sultan takes his seat on this 'pious' day, the daughters of Hindu Kings, which have been captured during the year are forced to sing and dance in front of Muslims. Then they are handed over to foreigners and fighters. Then other Hindu women are made to dance after which they are handed over to the brohters, relatives and sons of the commanders. This deed is performed by the Sultan after his Namaaz at dawn. Next day again, the same routine is followed after the Namaaz of dawn. This time the women are gifted to the chief Slaves of the Sultan.

Most of the Hindu population does not know that Namaz is not something like a शांति पाठ  of Hindus. It is quite the opposite. They are praying for the decimation of Infidels.

This illusion  has been achieved by controlling the sources of mass information. NCERT is just one of them.

The survival of our civilization depends on passing on the correct and true history to the next generations. 

Otherwise barbarity will win.
