A new desire for Western values has come to India just at a time when the West is abandoning it. Why?

Question

Sadhus are being banned. Hinduism is being ridiculed in name of progress & modernism. Hindu identity is being dissolved.

This is NOT on, and its actually quite weird.

The fact is Hindus have the greatest heritage and strongest self-identity in the world. We are the most copied of all religions, and Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. We should not believe when our enemies try to convince/persuade us, appearing as our friends.

Answer 1

In order to gain materialistically, we need to tow the western line. I do it for my materialistic requirements, because it is fast and effective.

When it comes to my spiritual needs, I don't look at west. I know that there is nothing there.

I don't look east also, I know that they have lost their path.

I look only inwards and am wondering, who really I am and what is that, which I am aspiring for relentlessly? I look outwards hoping that a saint may be round the corner, yet eluding me, because I am yet not 'fit' for Him.

Answer 2

It is not the western values that are adapted here. It was original Hindu culture. Every Hindu temple tells us the lifestyle of Gods and Goddess. That becomes the dress sense now. Similarly all the lifestyle changes are taken directly from native Hindu traditions which can stand beyond time.

Whatever you adapted from Aryans were ridiculed because every aspect of which is against progress and modernization.

Sanskrit is already dead because It gave a wrong impression that Gods understand only Sanskrit not other languages. Dowry system was not there in Hinduism. It is the social evil adapted from Aryans, that hindered the progress of Hindus and formed a cause behind the killings of 20,000 daughters-in-laws per year today. Caste system was not there in Hinduism. It was introduced by the same invaders to suppress and rule Hindus. The majority of Hindus are made socially deprived and economically backwards.

Now it is the time to decide who is the enemy of Hindus.

Those invaders who married your daughters and developed a blood relation can not be your enemies. Your enemies are with you and they still not prepared to marry your daughters branding them as backwards.

Answer 3

Remove the colored glasses.rub your eyes and look around with an open mind.You have been watching things as they are happening ( more or less correctly) but your conclusions are hasty or preempted .The great civilization and every thing which goes with it is accepted and granted many times multiplied than what you mentioned.Now,where and how do we go from here ?With globalization and capitalism having been accepted the world over and India becoming an integral part of the world affairs(political,economical,educational,professionalism,social and what ever is left ),we have to integrate to survive and succeed.Don't worry.It may appear during transition that we are loosing our values ,heritage,this and that but historically,we shall retain our core values till the end.Japan went ahead and did that and we are no less if not more.Remember, their are no enemies or friends in this scenario but rival competitors or supporting partners.( note:- with it's unlimited breadth and openness ,Hinduism has a great chance to take place of a world's way of life or a religion with minor modifications,as and when the time comes for it ).

Answer 4

I don't think you should harp so much on religion.

Are you a good person?

That's all that matters.

Personally, I don't think even God is angry with people who don't believe in Him. For one, God is never angry. For another, they are His children whether or not he is believed in.

Why should you ridicule Western values? They are good. If you think they are copied, then following them should actually be no different than following your own values, anyway. So what's the problem?

If you are still classifying people as enemies and friends rather than changing yourself to see everyone with kindness and generosity, no amount of pro-Hinduism is going to save you from being condemned in the end.

Forget about small stuff. Encourage spirituality. Let go of minor differences. The more you think that Hinduism is fading out, the more it will fade out. It will fade out inside your biased mind and not in reality.

Answer 5

Brother you are wrong that you are the most copied of all religions, and Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. It is only Indian self assumptions.

Your religion and language are old doesn't mean all other copied you. Civilization, Religion and language of Egypt and Babylon (Iraq) are oldest than yours.

Current western values are irreligious and spreading word wide as religious values are declining these days not only your country but whole word.

Answer 6

Because our leaders are hypocrites. for them our national values are for public consumption. just check from where our Nethas' children are getting educated. so long as a unified platform for Hindus are absent this aping phenomena will continue.

They have spent 200 year under British Raj so still they did not forget the habits of slavery meaning to follow the lords.
