Sri Aurobindo on Hindu-Muslim Unity
Hindu-Muslim unity cannot be arrived: You can live amicably with a religion whose
principle is toleration, but how is it possible to live peacefully with a
religion whose principle is `I will not tolerate you'? How are you going to
have unity with these people (Muslims)? Certainly Hindu-Muslim unity cannot be
arrived at on the basis that the Muslims will go on converting Hindus while the
Hindus should not convert any Mohammedan.
"…You cant unity on such a basis, perhaps, the
only way of making the Mohammedans harmless is to make them loose their fanatic
faith in their religion." (Evening talks with Sri Auronindo; recorded on
23.7.1923 by A.B. Purani, published by Sri Aurobindo Ashram Trust, 1995, page
291)
Hindus may have to fight the Muslims: On 18.4.1823 Sri Aurobindo told in reply to a
question of a disciple: "I am sorry they (`Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya and
Chakraborthy Rajagopalachari) are making a fetish of this Hindu-Muslims unity.
It is no use to ignore facts; some day the Hindus may have to fight the Muslims
and they must prepare for it. Hindu-Muslims unity should no mean the subjection
of the Hindus. Every time the mildness of the Hindus has given way. The best
solution would be to allow the Hindus to organize themselves and the
Hindu-Muslim unity would take care of itself, it would automatically solve
their problem. Otherwise we are lulled into a false sense of satisfaction that
we have solved a difficult problem, when in fact we have only shelved it."
(ibid p., 289)
If Muslims learn tolerance: On 29-6-1926 a disciple asked Sri Aurobindo,
"If it is India
"Why not? India
"The Hindu is ready to tolerate. He is open to
new ideas and his culture has got a wonderful capacity for assimilation, but
always provided that her Central Truth is recognized." (ibid p. 282)
Danger of civil war: On Hindu-Muslim relation of Sri Aurobindo said on 30-12-1939: "I
told C.R.Das (in 1923) that this Hindu-Muslim question must be solved before
the British go, otherwise there was a danger of civil war. He also agreed and
wanted to solve it. (ibid., p. 696)
Comments
¬¬This was a systematic, vicious and brilliant plan that the British (Indian Political Service) devised in the Viceregal period following the supercession of the East India Company by the Crown (1858). Delayed by the opposition of Lord Roberts and Curzon, The unrest under Chelmsford added to the reprisal unleashed by Lord Reading.
After the 1857 mutiny, having had every Brahmin man, woman and child that they could lay hands in the erstwhile Bengal Presidency, Central Provinces, and United Provinces massacred by way of reprisal by their Madrassi, Pathan and Sikh soldiers, the British put together their plan to subjugate India and began the implementation from 1921; Confiscation of Savarna Commonwealth (Temples, treasure etc) in 1923 and expulsion of the Brahmanas from the courts and de recognizing their judicial authority. Distribution of agricultural lands on which guru kulas and temples were dependent to the ryots, Commencement of Daalit Movement (Phule, Ambedkar etc) in the West. Commencement of Draavid movement (EVR Naiker etc) in the South. Subversion of the Sikhs through Kartar and Karag (Sialkot) to commence the Akali movement in the North. Self emasculating pacifism and worship of alien religions and ideologies such as communism (Alan Octavian Hume, Indian National Congress, Gandhi, Nehru) etc etc. This and the pampering of the Deen e Kitabi (Christians and Moslems) as well as Daalits was enshrined in the Indian Constitution condemning India to a perpetual low intensity civil war. They solidified this by confiscating the commonwealth, including temples, educational institutions, gymnasiums, lands, water bodies, religious freedoms and dispossessing their hereditary law and education giving priesthood so that they would become rootless.
The PANGOLIN*s extended the same policies to residual India including the unfortunate, formerly well governed, Princely States (Vijayanagar Viceregalities or Palegars and Maratha Governorates) such as Mysore, Travancore, Puri, Kohlapur, etc.
*Note: PANGOLIN: An enemy of India who believes in inequality under law, exceptions to the rule of law and persecution of some for the benefit of others. At present, the sole purpose of the Indian Republic, Constitutional or otherwise, is to pamper and provide for certain constitutionally preferred sections of society who the British found useful to hold and exploit India at the cost of those who the British hated and persecuted. The Pangolin is a creature that is unique to India and feeds on ants that are known in nature to be industrious and hard working if not quite as fruitful as bees who flee to better climes. (PANGOLIN is an acronym for the Periyar-Ambedkar-Nehru-Gandhi-Other (alien) Religions-Communist Consensus that usurped the British Mantle and has worn it with elan to loot, plunder, and rape India since 1921 and re write History and laws to their exclusive benefit since 1947)
