Hindutva

Hindutva

Hindutva or Hindutva literally means Hinduness - a way of life or a state of mind that is based on the cultural and spiritual ethos based on the spiritual systems that evolved from India.
Hindutva is a Philosophy like Communism or Socialism. The difference is that whereas communism and socialism are materialistic philosophies intended to secure economic welfare of individuals, Hindutva is a spiritual plus economic philosophy founded and developed from ancient times in India for securing the all round happiness of all individuals irrespective of religion of individuals.
The stress in this philosophy both on the ruler and the ruled is the performance of duty and to conform to a code of conduct. The vast body of proper code of conduct in every sphere of human activity such as personal, social, political was called "Dharma".

Shree Ramjanmabhoomi Temple

On the site of the birth of Lord Rama, one of the most important avatars of Lord Vishnu, stood a magnificent temple devoted to Him. However, Babur, a fifteenth Mogul invader, who brutalized India and destroyed temples in his zeal to spread Islam destroyed the temple and in its place - a structure he called Babri Masjid.
For centuries Hindus tried to recover this auspicious site. Legal challenges were filed and were unresolved for decades. Hindus presented volumes of historical and archeological data to prove the existence of Shree Ramjanmabhoomi Temple. In fact, for at least 70 years no Moslem had prayed in that mosque, whereas Hindus continued circumambulating around this site, despite it being a mosque.
Finally, in what is now widely accepted as India's second freedom struggle, on December 6, 1992 the Babri Masjid was brought down and icon representing Lord Rama, was installed and worshipped.

Human Rights

Hindus are a minority in several countries. In some of the countries, the Hindu minority is persecuted severely. For example, in Pakistan, the Hindu population has been drastically reduced through genocide, forced conversions and forced migration. The condition of Hindus in Bangladesh is no different. In the 1970s, Edi Amin expelled all the Hindu Ugandans from the country, whereas in Fiji, attempts have been made to exclude the Hindu minority from the political process. This section will serve to catalog the Human rights violations, committed against Hindus around the world.
