India has seen two outstanding
Narendras in contemporary times – Swami Vivekananda (1863 – 1902 CE) and now
Narendra Modi (b 1950 CE). During the Swami times, India was under colonial
rule and Christian missionaries were having a free run in terms of harvesting
souls in an innocent civilisation already weakened by waves of subjugation
under sword wielding Islamic forces. One of the oldest and the one (and only
one) continuing civilisation in the entire universe provided enough human souls
to satisfy the never ending thirst of both the religious predators. The locally
developed paths for self-realisation viz. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism etc.
(jointly called Sanatana Dharma), never believed in religious conversion and
never thought it is possible until their Semitic counterparts came around to
show its disastrous consequences.
Swami Vivekananda had
to travel all the way upto the Parliament of World Religions at Chicago in September
1893 to alert the world’s genuine intellectuals to the dangers of religious
conversion (https://youtu.be/ZQekcwOZ8FU).
It opened the eyes of some of the world’s impartial brilliant minds to the
wonderful religious ideologies from India that are built on rationality and
provided so much freedom for its followers. The words of some such noble souls
like Thoreau, Huxley, Rolland, Schrodinger, Sagan, Oppenheimer, Einstein, Bohr
etc., are too well known. The backlash for the soul harvesters was too much. The
Western forces saw an opportunity again when a ‘Westerner’ like Nehru came to
power after India’s liberation from a thousand years of ideological and
colonial rule. Opus Dei must have pumped in billions of dollars to maintain the
continuity of Nehru family rule for almost sixty years. Their latest stint from
2004 to 2014 under the complete supervision of one of their own provided the
maximum yield.
