I’m not against Kabir and Sai Baba because they criticized certain customs of Sanatana Dharma. I don’t like them because they equated Islam with Sanatana Dharma. It is like comparing barbarism with culture.
The real Hindu heros of later-medieval Bharatavarsha were the great Marathas. They were successful in re-establishing the Hindu Rule in Indraprastha (Delhi) in 1737 CE.
Nobody can forget the achievements of the Vijayanagara Empire. They fought and won against the Islamic Invaders who had occupied the North.
Who are these Sikhs? Nothing but a bumch of Punjabi peasants who left their original religion and became Khalsa. I appreciate the Sikh contribution against the Muslim foreigners. But today, Sikhs are a different community. We should be proud of our own Hindu warriors than those who have left our way of life.
Many of the great Hindu reformers came from the South and the East. Shankaracharya, Ramanuj, Vivekananda, Aurobindo…. I would always say that the real Bharatavarsha is in the South.
Nothern Bharatavarsha was overran by the Yavanas. I may say that I’m a proud Punjabi. But what is Punjab today? Around 75 % of the land is ruled and inhabited by Muslim Pakistanis. “Punjab” itself is a Persian word. Hindus in Northern Bharatavarsha have fought, survived, and won against Islam. But we have lost a lot. The scars of the Islamic oppression are still there. The Punjabi word for God (Bhagavan) is “Rab” which is not only an Arabic word but also one of the names of Allah.
Northerners have to first clean their language before cleansing their land from Mlecchas.
Hi, I read that bit about saibaba and kabir. Of course Kabir was not a hindu, he was a sufi poet, who are at best islamic.
Saibaba’s religion is also suspect, but he did equate the sanatana dharma with islam which is absurd. Sadly, even Vivekananda and almost every one in the hindu recent past has done just that. It is hard to call the flaws of christianity and islam out because they have ascribed to us a meek acceptance of these religions. Even an evaluation of the claims laid out by these religions is not taken kindly today.
Silence spanning centuries should be broken now, we should read the Quran and see how useless it actually is.
As far as Sai Baba and Kabir are concerned, I would say they didn’t know the real Islam. They commented on the Muslims practices than on the Islamic fundamentals.
But Swami Vivekanand must be having a deep knowledge of the Isalmic cult. I haven’t read much about his views on Islam but he rightly explained the true nature of Muslim invaders.
The pioneering critics of modern Bharatvarsh came from the Arya Samaj. Swami Dayanand Saraswati criticized Islam forthrightly. Swami Shraddhanand was murdered in 1926 by a Muslim fanatic for writing a satire of Muhammad called “Rangeela Rasool”. Unfortunately, the lawyers of Indian National Congress defended the murderer in the court but was proven guilty and executed by the British. Later, Mohandas Gandhi praised this Muslim fanatic in his speeches.
The 20th century scholars like Sita Ram Goel and Ram Swarup have written extensively on reality of Islam and Christianity. Arun Shourie and Koenraad Elst are also today’s well-knowm Islam critics.
