In the year 1606, the Mughals sent a vast army numbering more than eighty thousand men to bring down the proud Ranas of Mewar- at the time, led by Rana Amar Singh, son of Maharana Pratap.
For almost fifty years, the Mughals had failed in their attempts to bring the Mewar Ranas to heel. For every battle they won, the Rajputs won two. Every fort they took, the Rajputs took back again. India’s eminent historians might put little emphasis on the scores of Hindu victories that fended off Mughal crimes- but they can never deny one truth. That despite the destruction of multiple cities, the burning of libraries and schools, the mass rape of hapless Hindu women unlucky enough not to be evacuated by the Ranas in time, the lurid crimes of stuffing Hindu children into the skins of slaughtered cows and burnt alive- all of which was gleefully recorded by the Mughals themselves- the Ranas of Mewar were never defeated in open warfare.
The culmination of which was the Parvez Campaign, led by the Mughal Prince Parvez, where more than eighty thousand Mughals faced off against a mere twenty thousand Rajputs led by Rana Amar Singh at Dewar. When the dust settled, over fifty thousand Mughals lay dead upon the battlefield- including the cavalry commander Sultan Khan, slain by the Rana himself.
So- why did the Ranas of Mewar weaken after Rana Amar Singh?
Because the Rana made the grievous mistake of signing a treaty with Jehangir for mutual neutrality and aid in exchange for the Subedari of Sindh. Slowly, Mughal singers, eunuchs, and dancers filled the halls of Mewar’s palaces. Slowly the insidious lies of the Mughals weakened the realm. After Amar Singh’s death, the fall was swift and severe. The great Rajput kingdom of Mewar which once defeated armies five times its size fell to a paltry force led by Sadullah Khan during the time of Jagat Singh, Rana Amar Singh’s grandson.
Indeed- we find that the Media has ever been an ally to the unholy alliance between the anti-Hindu forces for a long time. The site, mediacrooks.com, has for years, kept an eagle eye on the many sins of the Mainstream Indian Media. But Indians have no answer to the narrative peddled by forces abroad.
The one overarching depiction of India in World media is that of a starving, dying nation dominated by evil, monkey-eating Brahmins where women live under siege and the streets run with blood and shit.
Hatred for Brahmins, hatred for Hindus, hatred for anyone with brown skin is a hallmark of Western civilization. They smile in public, and they sneer in private. A hundred years ago, the great historian Oswald Spengler declared: – ‘One cannot exist in two civilizations at once.’ And how great the gulfs that separate the Hindu Arya from the Abrahamic West or Islam!
The overarching theme in World narrative is that India is a nation better off under the British Raj- a period when millions died each year from famines and slavery. That Hindus are a race of demon-worshipping barbarians who worship strange gods and are better off following a sensible ‘religion’. The BBC’s hatred for Indians and Hindus is a matter of legend by now. It is well-known how BBC has often described Hindu festivals as ‘filthy’ and barbaric. But this is not to assume that other Western outlets are any more praiseworthy. The famed cartoon by New York Times- depicting Hindus as illiterate villagers forcing their way into ‘western’ space research- is merely the tip of the iceberg. It is common for Western media outlets to dismiss Islamist attacks on India, to decry Indian advancements in military and technology, or to actively persecute and try mock and silence important Hindu voices like Rajan Zed. As we have already seen, sites like CNN actively carry voices calling for the destruction of Indian and promotion of Secessionism.
Even Social media is not immune to this anti-Hinduism. Recently, we saw in Twitter how Sonam Mahajan, an outspoken Hindu blogger, was banned- ostensibly for posting jokes on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, a doyen for Indian Liberals. This comes after multiple reports of partisanship, reports that have only risen in volume after the appointment of a certain Raheel K, once primarily known for his vitriol towards Hindu leaders, as head of Twitter India. A popular site, Quora, is also known for this behaviour; the moderation is extremely left-wing with even Western Conservatives regularly banned for dubious allegations over ‘impolite speech’- even as Liberals and Islamists freely insult and attacks Hindus and India. To quote a certain Quoran writer- ‘Any pro-Hindu Quoran who starts gaining popularity on the site is banned quickly. They made a mistake with B*****, and as a result, he’s now the most popular writer on the site. They won’t repeat that mistake.’
The lack of an Indian voice – a Hindu voice- in World media and Social affairs is so extraordinary that it is ridiculous.
All around us, we see nations pitching forth to ensure that they remain in the best possible light. The United States of America- whose valiant soldiers raped nearly 200,000 German women during World War II and excel in savaging hapless countries in service of their Saudi paymasters- is the temple of Democracy. Great Britain- founders of the bloodiest Empire History has known- is a byword for civilization. Belgium- which reduced the population of Congo to a third of the original through slavery and genocide- is a high watermark for culture.
And this isn’t restricted to merely the Western States with good propaganda ability.
The Chinese run a brutal crushing communist tyranny and yet Confucius Centres are found in every major city of the World. The Japanese version of the Caste system still exists openly. Thailand has a military coup almost every decade like clockwork. The tyrannies of the Middle East butcher kaffirs, infidels, and unbelievers at will- and pour billions into the warzones of Syria, Kashmir, and Africa.
Each and every single one of them has a better image- ‘Soft Power’- than India and Hindus.
Why shouldn’t they? Look around! Our honoured first Prime Minister openly mocked Hinduism and Indian culture: ‘I am a Hindu only by accident’. Communists openly declare their love for China even now. Bengal and Kerala are effectively deathzones with rarely a day going without RSS workers and Hindus butchered by Islamists and Communist- much to the glee of the educated glitterati of India in the metros, hoping from cocktail party to nightclub every day. The very name of ‘Hindu’ is synonymous with ‘criminal’, ‘bigot’, ‘murderer’ in the great halls of the Elite classes in India, and the entire World outside.
Is all lost then? Should we Hindus simply bow our heads and walk away in defeat and disgrace?
No.
As Amar Singh’s grandson, Rana Jagat Singh, let go the glory of Mewar, Jagat Singh’s grandson, the great Rana Jai Singh, restored it in full measure.
Rana Jai Singh- inspired from the actions of Shivaji Bhonsle Maharaja rebelled against the vile Aurangzeb in 1680. First he ensured the supremacy of the Rajput voice- expelling Mughal courtiers and singers from his court. He ensured that the gods of his ancestors were honoured, that every Rajput went about with the name of Rama and Shakti and Shiva on his lips.
Hindus must do the same.
Popular Culture in India has become synonymous with Bollywood, the coven of nepotism, corruption, and underworld money. The ‘legends’ of the Silver Screen take money from Pakistani ‘guests’ like Dawood and host Pakistanis as guests. This is ridiculous beyond words. Patronize either patriots- or patronize none at all. The cinematic and artistic quality of Hollywood or the Far East is far superior to what Bollywood can churn out even in a thousand years. Watch them instead.
Books are the voice of goddess Saraswati; in the past, Oriya poets compared palm leaf pages to the shining golden visage of Ma Durga. It is disgrace that India’s literati and their foreign masters regularly call our mothers ‘prostitutes’ and ‘whores’ with impunity. A certain ‘mythologist’ delights in misinterpreting and mocking Hindu epics at will. Such arrogance and hubris among the litterateurs has to be countered. There is no lack of Rajeev Malhotras and Sahana Singhs in society.
Create a Hindu voice. At present, we are dependent almost entirely on foreign bureaus to write our annals for us- a ridiculous state of affairs where Jesuit priests can gleefully pen heir tirades against Hindu ‘demons’ while accusing the same Hindus of ‘intolerance’. Hire lobbies, Buy people outright. Liberals delight in mocking vegetarianism and cooing over Meat. Men are Meat; buy as many Americans or British or Arabs as are needed to drive Hindutva. Hindus must ignore the ones questioning such ‘immoral’ tactics; what bile! In the Mahabharata, Shri Krishna says to Shri Balabhadra (Balarama to non-Odias): ‘During times of War, there is no higher Dharma than War’. We are at War; Sanatana Dharma is under threat. We have found statues of Shri Vishnu from medieval Russia, of Ma Lakshmi from ancient Rome; today less than a thousand Hindus survive in Lahore, the city built by Shri Rama’s own son!
Raise Equality and Meritocracy among Hindus. Hindus, all around, are divided. This is not the State envisioned by the Upanishads or the Vedas. Emperor Yudhishthira once told us- ‘BY deeds, is a man’s birth known’. The Nationalist Bipin Chandra Pal told us: ‘The ideal of Swaraj that has revealed itself to us is the ideal of divine democracy…There is a higher message still : men are gods and the equality of Indian democracy is the equality of divine origin, the divine nature, the divine possibilities and the divine destiny of every individual being.’ Each Hindu can be an Arya, born of Honour and Pride, and all Aryas are kin to each other. Let noble Aryas be led only by the worthy and brave!
Have nothing but disdain for the word ‘Liberalism’; this, across the decades, has been nothing but the siren call of anti-Hinduism cultural collapse. And who even speaks these fair-sounding words? The great West- which murdered a hundred people for each one the Nazis killed? The Communists- soaked in the blood and entrails of millions even now? The fee-speech loving Liberals importing murderous jihadis into Europe, the same Liberals who were trying to kill a gay Jew in the USA merely a week ago for speaking in defence of his fellow homosexuals being murdered in the Middle East today?
Three thousand years ago- when the West and the East was but wilderness, the Vishnu Purana declared: ‘The Land that lies north of the Great Ocean and south of the Snow-clad Mountains is called Bhāratam; there dwell the descendants of Bharata’. We are the children of Bharata, and here we dwell in the land built by Emperor Bharata Sarvadamana. He had no sons apart from us. He had no heirs apart from us! And it is to us to defend the legacy of that ancient Emperor. Hate the Traitor! Hate the Secessionist! Hate the one who speaks of the Aryan-Dravidian lie peddled by the British! Hate the bile penned by the Western Indologists! Hate the vitriol poured upon our gods by Communists and Islamists!
Never lose your pride! Rana Jai Singh of Amer (separate from Rana Jai Singh of Mewar) was a loyal servant of Aurangzeb all his life. All his life he spent in service of the Mughal, aping Mughal customs and copying Mughal ways. And how was he repaid? He, along among all the Mirza Rajas of the time, was punished for the losses in the Deccan- because he was a Hindu and protested the rape of women by vile Mughals during the Hindu rebellions. His son’s ranks were stripped away. His fortune- built over decades of slavishly serving the Mughals- was stolen. On his deathbed, Rana Jai Singh of Amer moaned- ‘In four ways losses have fallen upon me—first my honour is gone, second the districts of my kingdom have been taken away (by Aurangzeb), thirdly what I spent on this war is gone, and fourthly—and what is worst of all—my son’s affairs have been ruined.’’
Distrust all who mock the Vedas and the Dharma! Remember, son of Bharata! Your ancestors built mighty temples when the West ate raw flesh and Bihar alone held more universities than all the Middle East.
Rana Jai Singh of Amer forgot this and suffered.
Rana Jai Singh of Mewar, great-great-great grandson of Maharana Pratap, remembered.
He and his general Dayaldasji conquered Malwa and forced Sindh and Gujarat to kneel before them. Army after Mughal army was shattered by the Mewar Rajputs. The insult and treachery of the Mughals towards Amer was avenged. The peace treaty he signed with the Mughals not only restored all of Mewar’s past glories, but also ensured that, though a few Rajput generals such as Jai Singh II, would still serve the Empire the Mughals would never harm the Rajput again with impunity. In addition, the Mewar war, along with the multiple revolts by Jats, Ahoms, Odias, Satnamis, Sikhs, Biharis, etc- would also serve in weakening the Mughal Empire, enough for the establishment of the Hindu Pad Padshahi under the Marathas.
From the Great Ocean in the South to the Snow-clad Mountains in the North, this is all one land, one nation, one people, all united under the legacy of Emperor Bharata- he whose like will never come again- and the words of Dharma, as given to us by the Holy Vedas and Shri Krishna. To defend them is our greatest duty and our highest honour. Be loyal! Be brave! Be vigilant!
