I mean common , do these MNC's/ corporate's got to stoop so low to get me to use/buy their products. And what's with the tag line "You only live once" . If I remember correctly these same MNC's / corporate's tell me to buy diamond jewellery cuz it's gonna last for 7 '<i>JANAMS</i>'(<i>births</i>) & now they're telling me that I am only going to live once !! They need to make up their mind , fast.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
Do they believe in this "<i>Re-birth</i>" theory or don't they ??</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
I'd just like to point out an important fact here that acc. to the philosophies of<i>Hinduism</i> a person is born again & again in this world in different forms ( human, fly, monkey etc..) till he achieves <i><b>"MOKSHA</b></i>"(salvation from the cycle of birth). And this <b><i>"Moksha"</i></b> occurs only when one has wiped out all the sins he may have committed in his different lifespans . Phew, not an easy task eh.. ?</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
Well I for one would like to categorically state here that I have stopped believing in anything since the day I realized that all the talk abt <i>"The Truth"</i>prevailing over "<i>Darkness" </i>doesn't really imply to this <i>Time-Frame</i> of world that we live in . Just take a look around you & you'll know what i'm talking about. People who lie the most, deceive the most , are dishonest & not at all loyal , make it big in this world e.g. Businessmen like Tata's(who started out by sucking up to the <i>british</i>), Ambani's( who started out giving bribes) etc etc or the <i><b>BANKS</b></i> world over which are the biggest thieves of them all .</div>

It's true that the philosophies of <i>Hinduism</i> encourage its followers to have a free thought & asks them to explore these free thoughts to reach the truth abt themselves & the universe around them but free thought is diametrically opposite to impiousness, and this is nothing but impiousness on our part.</div>

Now most of what I'm going to write may be something you will come across for the first time as our school's curriculum do not teach us anything significant when it comes to history ,as most of it is regulated by the <i>govt.</i> to maintain the artificial peace that these politicians/pseudo-secularists profess needs to exist for us to become a <i>"rich"</i> country, but is sure worthy enough to be read atleast once.</div>

Let us go back in time to the moment when this fall in morals & attitude of people really , and i mean really, started affecting the <b>'HINDU'</b>. Its the time 60 years after the end of the <i>Ashoka</i> (The Mauryan King) empire. The Mauryan empire had declined after spreading the teachings of '<i>Buddhism</i>' far & across to the point that the territories of the Mauryan empire(which stretched from the present day '<i>Hindu-Kush' </i>mountains in <i>Afghanistan</i> to the south of present day <i>Andhra Pradesh</i>) were engulfed in the fight of supremacy between the followers of <i>Hinduism</i> & <i>Buddhism </i>leading to discord & infighting, all the while leaving the <i>Khyber-Pass</i> unguarded, and a wave of foreign invasion followed.The invasions were of the following people-</div>
<ol style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b> <i>Indo-Greeks</i></b> ( people of Greek descent who had stayed back after Alexander's return to Babylon. They centered around land in between present day Afghanistan & Uzbekistan)</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b><i>Indo-Scythians </i></b>( referred to as Sakas in the Mahabharat. They were basically nomads of Central-Asia/Siberia) </li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><i><b>Indo-Parthian & Indo-Sassanids</b></i> ( Iranian tribes )<br />
[the above tribes migrated through the khyber pass somewhere around the 2nd B.C to 2nd A.D.]</li>
<li style="margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><b><i>The Huns</i></b> ( they came after the fall of the Gupta empire in the 5th century A.D. They are people of the <span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Central Asian Xionites</span> tribe)</li>
</ol>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
These people find mention even in texts like<b><i> Mahabharat</i></b> & various <i><b>Puranas</b></i>. The common term used to refer to these people is <i style="font-weight: bold;">Mleccha .</i>They were called so because of their incomprehensible speech & behavior which was unacceptable to the Aryan school of thought. <i style="font-weight: bold;">Mleccha</i> 's were even placed out of the caste system in <b>Vedic</b> times as they were considered not good enough to even fit in... ouch!!!</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
However, these invasion however weren't as significant as others that were to follow as these tribes of people imbibed their thoughts in the philosophies of <i>Hinduism/Buddhism</i> & integrated themselves by inter-mixing with the Hindu/Buddhist populations at that time of western <i>India , Pakistan , Afghanistan.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
It must be noted that these people weren't direct recruits into <i>Hinduism</i> , instead they came to accept it (willingly or unwillingly) over a period of time through inter-mixing & also cuz they had to co-exist with the people who believed in the Aryan school of thought of <i>Hinduism</i> & who of course , outnumbered them at the time.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
But the trouble with this inter-mixing was that a part of the <b>Hindu </b>society now was <b>Hindu </b>only because<i> they had to</i> &<i> not because they wanted to </i>!! And this was a poison that would spread slowly but surely in the <b>Hindu</b> society.</div>

Though the <i>Malabar</i> coast (for those whose geography is weak , it's the coasts of <i>Kerala & Karnataka</i>) had already seen the influx of Arab traders who with themselves also brought the teaching of <b style="font-style: italic;">Islam </b>to India , the real impact of Islam was felt in <i>Sindh</i> in <i>710-715 A.D</i>. with the invasion of <i>Muhammad Bin Qasim . Q</i>asim was a young general of the <i>Umayyad Caliphate </i>located in <i>Damascu</i>s ( present day <i>Syria</i>). He conquered <i>Sindh</i> which was being ruled by a <i>Hindu</i> king having a majority <i>Buddhist</i> population at the time with the help of a few people of <i>Sindh ,</i>who chose to help out the foreign invader than their own king.<br />
The poison of the<i><b> Mleccha's invasion</b></i> had already started to spread in the Hindu/Buddhist societies of the time & people started to do away withe the teachings of Hinduism/Buddhism & instead started becoming more focused on settling personal/community scores over the welfare of the country & its people .<br />
<br />
<br />
Following <i>Qasim</i> came <i>Ghazni ,Ghori ,Timur ,Mughals ,Nadir Shah , Abdali </i> and other smaller invaders who came not only to spread the message of <i>Islam </i>but to loot as well.<br />
Famous authors like <i>Will Durant</i> in his book<b> <i>History of Civilizations</i></b> , <i>M.A. Khan</i>'s<b style="font-style: italic;"> Islamic Jihad </b>& <i>K.S. Lal's</i> <b style="font-style: italic;">Growth of Muslim Population in Medieval India (1000-1800 A.D.) </b>call this medieval period of Islamic Invasions in the sub-continents history as the bloodiest in Human History. An estimate of <i>60- 80</i> <i>million Hindu population died</i> in this time period. A lot were taken or sold as slaves in international markets.Even the mountains of Afghanistan named <i style="font-weight: bold;">Hinu-Kush</i>(which literally translates to <i><b>Hindu slaughter</b></i>) is named after thousands of Hindu slaves died while crossing the harsh terrain of those Mountains.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now I am not going into the details of these invasions as they are quite elaborative in context ( I might write abt them in future blogs) , but one thing that needs to be mentioned is that all those <b>HINDUS </b> who stood up and fought for their land,people,beliefs were betrayed to these outsiders somewhere along the line by <b>HINDUS </b>itself. Be it <b><i>Maharana Pratap , Shivaji , Samrat Hemu</i> </b>or anyone else who dared to stand up & fight , they were let down in the end by their own people only.<b> </b>A system of oppression was enforced resulting in many deaths of the <b>Hindus </b>& their ideological practices.The ones who survived this onslaught of invaders were either forced to pay <i><b>"Jizya"</b></i><b> (religious tax) </b>to live under constant fear of their lives & dignity , or they <i><b>converted to</b></i> <b><i>Islam.</i></b><br />

<span style="color: red;"> </span>After the British est. their stronghold in the sub-continent after the<i style="font-weight: bold;"> Battle of Plassey </i>in1757, ahead of the French,Portuguese,Dutch & other European nations. They wanted to make the best possible use of the rich flora of the land they just captured & benefit from it economically. So they started with trade practices to have a trade surplus from their side & a trade deficit for the Indian colony. A major part to maintain the trade surplus was to get the people of India addicted on British manufactured goods , and for this they needed to change the mindset of the population here.<br />

<br />
</i>Every since Afghanistan fell into the hands of <i>Mahmud of Ghazni </i>in the years close to 1000 A.D till even the moment that I am writing these words , the <b>HINDUS</b><b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>& their philosophies<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b> have been suppressed , ridiculed & even equated with being oppressive of people !!! All of this by people who in reality have to comprehension or even a hint of the ideas& philosophies of Hinduism.<br />
During the medieval period of <i>Islamic conquests</i> in India , <b>Hindus</b> weren't even allowed to carry out religious ceremonies , forget abt any thing else. Punishment for carrying out religious ceremonies ranged from cutting of arms, tongue , legs to being sold into slavery. There was a complete dearth of new ideas or even the correct understanding of the old ones , with constant suppression & oppression from the <i>Islamic conquests, </i>resulting in various social evils & ignorance taking precedence in <b>Hindu </b>societies over its original teachings.<br />
<br />
The British & other Europeans went around the world invading foreign lands for economic reasons & also in the name of <i><b>The </b></i><b style="font-style: italic;">Christ </b>, trying to save the people of those foreign lands from their so called "savage" ways of life by spreading the word of <i>Christianity</i> . They also ensured here in the subcontinent to demerit & ridicule the philosophies of <b style="font-style: italic;">Hinduism. </b>They weren't so abrasive or aggressive with the teachings of <i>Islam </i>here in the subcontinent mainly because most of the Nobles in those time were <i>Muslims &</i> also cause they saw <i>Muslims </i>as a counterweight in the subcontinent against the <b>Hindus.</b>All these <i>Christian</i><b> <i>missionary schools & colleges </i></b> that the Europeans started in India had one purpose & one purpose only. Apart from providing education for the children of the Europeans, these schools had a well thought of agenda to change the way people thought/believed here in the sub-continent. The <i>British</i> saw that even after centuries of <i>Islamic Invasions</i> & now even under the British , the people weren't willing to give up their faith. Sure they weren't following it's ideologies as they should have been but still all these invaders faced immense challenges to change the beliefs of the people here. No matter what a man did , whether he was farmer, a thief, a highway robber or whatever else.. if he saw a<i>temple</i>, <i>Shivling </i>or any other thing in nature<i> </i>that would even remotely resemble his impression of Gods/Goddesses acc. to the <b>Hindu </b>traditions , he would bow down in respect.<br />
<br />
To the people of the book( Christians, Muslims, Jews) this was nothing short of blasphemy cuz their traditions didn't accept such acts. More importantly their doctrine of religion wasn't & still isn't much tolerable of other faiths, unlike the 4 religions that have originated here in the Subcontinent namely <b style="font-style: italic;">Hinduism,Buddhism,Sikhism ,Jainism </b>all of which preach for a peaceful existence not only between humans but also with nature & all its creatures.</div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
The Islamist could never really achieve to convert the whole of India into Islam , instead<i> Islam</i> had an off shoot of<i> Sufism </i>within<i> Islam </i> & it's still practiced in some parts of India. The Europeans realized that if they really wanted to profit from the sub-continent they had to change the way people lived around here so they got they started up with the concept of<i> western education</i> which was essential to<i><b>"progress"</b></i> in the new world.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> The self critical analysis to better oneself, which was the essence of Hinduism, has lost out to the ' feel good by doing whatever you want to' analysis. To be honest the 'whatever you want to do ' analysis only consists of shopping , non-stop backbiting or some immoral activity</span><span style="font-size: xx-small; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">.</span></span><span style="text-align: left;"> <br />
<br />
<br />
People ,instead of teaching their children good pious lessons of Hinduism ,only end up promoting the excesses of their children by treating them as the most special thing on the planet, as if their kid was the next </span><i style="text-align: left;"><b>Gautam Buddh</b></i><span style="text-align: left;"> or </span><i style="text-align: left;"><b>Mahavira</b></i><span style="text-align: left;"> or even a</span><i style="text-align: left;"><b> Maharana Pratap</b></i><span style="text-align: left;">. Instead, as a matter of fact, with the special treatment kids receive these days by their parents , they'll only end up being a burden on the planet who want to consume and get everything that their over inflated egos & desires want.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
The parents are unable to teach their children abt the teachings/ philosophies of <i>Hinduism</i> which are the oldest amongst all the religious philosophies of the world because they themselves aren't sure what these teachings or philosophies are. We in India , the birthplace of <i>Sanskrit</i> , don't understand a word of <i>Sanskrit</i> and have nobody except ourselves to blame for it. Even after Independence none of us or even our governments have initiated any measures to make people aware of <i>Sanskrit </i>language. Hence we are dependent upon interpretations of Europeans, Arabs, or limited no. of so called intellectuals in India (mostly communists) , for them telling us what our <b><i>Vedas , Purana'</i></b>s & other religious texts have to tell us. This has led to further estrangement between the <b>HINDU</b> & his philosophies .</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
And to complete <i style="color: #660000;">the extinction </i>, we have the current <i>Gen X </i>who have no clue abt anything except a false belief of them being the BEST. the Best at all the things that are not significant at all. Societies don't progress on a belief though, you need to take actions and the only action<i> Gen X </i>is taking is that of pushing stupidity to a whole new level . I won't elaborate more on that here since this blog is not abt the inadequacies of <i>Gen X, </i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
For <i>Gen X </i> in India (especially the <i><b>Hindu </b></i>ones) , religion is a taboo topic because of their little or no knowledge abt their own <i>Hindu</i> religion & also because of the guilt/inferiority feeling they might be made to feel by the Believers of other religions, who waste no opportunity to put down Hinduism .</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
Also the whole dose of Bollywood crap movies (which by the way are muslim dominated ) tell all these dumb ass <i>GenX</i> that all the religions are the "same". So they like complete buffoons believe that <i><b> The </b></i><b><i>Geeta ,The Quran ,The Bible</i></b> all teach the same thing !! which is so<b> Not True. </b>The <i>quran and bible</i> have some similarities but <b><i>The Geeta </i></b>has no common ground with them. <b><i>The Geeta</i></b> has a sense of familiarity with the teachings of <b><i>Sikhism, Buddhism , Jainism</i></b> but nothing in common with the <i>Quran or the Bible.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">

<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
SO in the end we find that all the invasions , oppression , subjugation , humiliation & the integration of western ideals into our lives , has left us '<i><b>The HINDU'</b></i> as an <i>Unbeliever</i> of our old wise teachings.</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<span style="line-height: 1.4;">Instead what we have today are people who are </span><b style="line-height: 1.4;">Hindu</b><span style="line-height: 1.4;"> by default (cuz they were born into a family having a </span><b style="line-height: 1.4;"><i>Hindu </i></b><span style="line-height: 1.4;">surname). If tomorrow the need arises to fight or die for the beliefs of </span><b style="line-height: 1.4;"><i>Hinduism</i></b><span style="line-height: 1.4;"> , I know very well that all these so called </span><i style="line-height: 1.4;"><b>Hindus </b></i><span style="line-height: 1.4;">will simply give up and convert or believe whatever the aggressor wants them to believe in .</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">

</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<b>These so called <i>Hindus</i> have taken the<i> basic essence of Hinduism</i> which was to <i>ensure social welfare first & foremost </i>of its people<i> </i>as its aim<i> </i>& instead have made their<i> greed </i> , stemming from their hyper-inflated egos & gold plated desires , as the essence of the dead/worn out/dragged for centuries cloak of <i> Hinduism. </i></b></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4;">
<span style="color: blue;">Like I had stated earlier on in the blog , I have lost my belief in things but that does not mean I am no longer conscious of my existence or my religion & its beliefs . Even though sometimes I find it difficult to carry on honestly following these beliefs & teachings but I still try.</span></div>
