Hindu-Muslim Unity for a Perfect, Invincible India
All right-thinking, patriotic Indians should seriously consider Vivekananda’s proposal to set up a ‘junction of Hinduism and Islam’ to build a ‘perfect and invincible’ India, says OSWALD PEREIRA
Our great nation India, that is Bharat, so well-known for religious tolerance and peaceful inter-faith living, would be better off if people shun politicians spreading sectarianism and instead follow enlightened sages and yogis like Swami Vivekananda.
Regarded as the father of modern Indian nationalism, Vivekananda is credited with raising the status of Hinduism to a major world religion. A key figure in the introduction of Vedanta and Yoga to the Western world, Vivekananda at the same time, raised interfaith awareness.
While eulogising ancient Hindu heritage, he broke free from sectarian prejudices. He showed by his living example that a Hindu, and a monk at that, can not only socialise but also live with Muslims without ‘tainting’ himself, his religion or his monkhood.
