A systematic case for why and how India should become a Hindu Rashtra, addressing minority rights, Sanatana Dharma, and common misconceptions.
The term Hindu Rashtra generates more heat than light in most public discussions -- deployed as a warning by some and a rallying cry by others, without much examination of what it would actually mean in practice. Dhananjaya's book is an attempt to supply that examination: to answer not just why its author believes India needs to become a Hindu Rashtra, but what such a state would look like and how it would function.
The book addresses a set of specific questions directly. What would change for religious minorities? What does Hindu Rashtra mean -- and, just as importantly, what does it not mean? How does it differ from theocracy? The author argues that Hindus and Sanatana Dharma face a genuine existential threat that has accumulated across centuries of persecution and has not been resolved by current political arrangements. The BJP's rise, in this analysis, provides a pressure valve but not a solution.
Readers who disagree with the book's premises will find here a more systematic argument than the slogan usually carries. Readers who are sympathetic will find the Why, What, and How laid out in a single volume, with an attempt to dispel what the author identifies as deliberate misinformation about the concept.
-:ABOUT THE BOOK:- Sanatana Dharma is our glorious heritage that has been passed down to the present generation of Hindus by our great ancestors who fought and sacrificed to preserve this precious treasure. Without any sugar-coating, the bare fact that must be clearly understood is that Hindus and Sanatana Dharma are facing a very real threat to their long-term survival. After centuries of persecution, the Hindu society has been systematically pushed to the edge of the cliff. Tragically, Hindus seem blissfully oblivious of this the fact. If Hindus and Sanatana Dharma are to survive into the next century, they need to act NOW! And the only way to achieve this is by the Hindus coming together and demanding official State protection for themselves and Dharma by declaring Bharat a Hindu Rashtra. The book answers the Why, What and How of a Hindu Rashtra. It delves into questions like: Why does Bharat need to become a Hindu Rashtra? What do we mean, and not mean, by a Hindu Rashtra? How will a Hindu Rashtra work? What will change for the minorities in the new order? This book also dispels the myths and misinformation that are associated with the term 'Hindu Rashtra'.
