Beyond being mere advertising slogans, there is no such thing as Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, or Bharatiyata (Indianness) — no such thing exists, none of it exists.
Just as one must say the emperor is naked, one must borrow the innocence of a small child and say this boldly, must be able to say it: that there is no such thing as Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
This new Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata is simply something invented and claimed to exist where it does not, manufactured in the name of artificial, narrow, extremist nationalism.
The very name and definition of Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata exists nowhere, and never existed.
Not even a Rama, a Krishna, or a Buddha knew what Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata meant.
In no Veda, Purana, Upanishad, Shruti, or Smriti is there anything defining what Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata is.
There never existed anywhere, nor does there exist now, any identifiable single or plural culture and society that lived under the name, character, and discipline of Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Only recently has something that is nothing been presented as something, stirring up emotion and deceiving an unknowing public into believing it is something it is not — that alone is today’s Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Otherwise, even up to the time of the freedom struggle, no society here ever organized or struggled on the basis of this Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
For no other reason than this: there never existed here — and does not exist now — a Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata that united the divided and undivided communities here, organized them, gave them life, guided them, and gave them pride (rather than one that multiplied humiliation through the caste-based varna system).
Something that has nowhere been stated or defined is Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Something that offers no particular solution, guideline, or direction to any sphere of life is Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
The only possible definition of Sanatanam, Hindutva, Bharatiyata is the categorization of castes, caste discrimination, hierarchy, and the invasive, dominant exploitative system of the upper castes.
Today’s Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata exists only for thieves and criminals to carry out theft and riots.
This Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata — which does not really exist — gives justification, in the name of dharma, for the unrighteous to commit unrighteousness for the sake of unrighteousness.
Those who make this claim of Sanatana Dharma-Hindutva-Bharatiyata commit unrighteousness under the pretext that “anything is permissible in the struggle for dharma.”
But do these people even have dharma?
No.
But does their dharma have the precision, clarity, and disciplined character of a code — does it have a definition, does it have rigor, does it have clarity, does it have precision?
No.
Their dharma is nothing but “the tree in the forest belongs to the temple elephant, pull it, pull it hard” — mere arbitrary whim.
On one side, it dresses up people who know nothing as though they know everything; on the other side, it deceives the same uninformed public through various traps — that alone is Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Take just one example to see this: look only at the knowledge, the standard, the cruel face, and the deceitful-cruel path by which the man from Gujarat — whom they themselves chose as their greatest leader, their “vishwaguru” — came to be what he is.
This, exactly this, is the highest standard of this Sanatanam, Hindutva, Bharatiyata. Mere teleprompter-level standard.
Everything claimed under the names Sanatanam, Hindutva, Bharatiyata is nothing but empty rhetoric, idle boasting, and purely imaginative legends and myths — without any concrete models or guiding principles, abandoning their followers along the wayside.
Talk that touches nothing, that pretends to say everything but actually asserts nothing precisely, that never reaches a conclusion on anything, that is neither here nor there, utterly lacking precision and clarity — mere claims of this and that. That is their Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Beautiful in words.
Empty in substance.
A new balloon filled with hatred and envy.
A collection of ambiguities.
A group that justifies ambiguity as such.
A set of claims like the fable of the “spider Mammoonj” (a boastful, empty tale).
Nothing but a “spider Mammoonj” troupe and its followers — the ranks, groups, and camps of Bharatiya-Hindu-Sanatana Dharma.
After being utterly defeated, this is the faction that, only within its own home, only before those who know nothing and understand nothing, lets loose empty boasts and heroic claims.
Everything is “ours,” yet when it comes down to it, as if nothing actually belongs to us — that is Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Puffed up and flying about like chaff and husk.
But is there anything to actually eat, raw or cooked? Is that even possible?
No.
Does it have everything?
It claims to.
But does it actually have anything that truly applies in practice?
No.
Does anyone have any real understanding of Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata that isn’t just empty talk conjured from nowhere?
No.
Yet, before a vast mass of people who understand nothing, they simply spout imaginary tales and stories as boastful claims — whatever comes to mind, like a song sung to a crow. That alone is Sanatana Dharma, Hindutva, Bharatiyata.
Isn’t that, honestly speaking, exactly what these Bharatiya, Hindu, Sanatana Dharma claims are — manufactured talk with no basis whatsoever in actual practice?
Do you know how, in recent times, such boldness has come about in making these Bharatiya, Hindu, Sanatana Dharma claims, inventing interpretations that don’t exist?
It comes precisely from the strength and backing of the power and wealth gained through prolonged deceit, riots, and cruelty.
Courage found only in numbers, absent when alone.
That is also the courage of hooligans and rioters.
Like dogs — cowardly when alone, bold hooligans when in a pack.
And even then, declaring everything to be right, without stating anything as precisely or clearly correct, unable to provide real guidance, while deceiving and exploiting the people, and stealing everything that belongs to them.
Saying “everything is fine” while trapping believers in various avenues of exploitation, deceiving them, and driving them along.
The money and power gained through these avenues of exploitation are divided up, by whatever means — stolen or otherwise — among the upper-caste power elite.
The theft and division of spoils that took place at the Ram temple in Ayodhya is the closest, most direct illustration of this.
It is precisely because such spoils are meant to be divided only among the highborn that these people cannot tolerate it when invaders like Ghazni and others came and took it away.
Not because they truly stand for what is right or oppose wrongdoing.
Not because they stand on the side of justice.
It’s merely like how hooligans see other hooligans as enemies.
Not out of concern for social welfare or justice.
That is why — by creating and selling various conceptions and idols of gods, by filling donation boxes in the name of these conceptions and idols of gods — in order to get the opportunity to divide the spoils and indulge in extravagance, they take old stories out of context, twist them, and use them to generate hatred and animosity, diverting attention.
By creating illusions of things that don’t exist, showing things that are nothing, offering hopes that cannot be realized, making believers run about everywhere without knowing where — and along that path, deceiving and exploiting them so the upper-caste power faction can indulge in extravagance — that is the doctrine called Hindutva, Bharatiyata, Sanatana Dharma.
