An Unbiased Review of the Silence of Hindu Society, Global History, and Social Realities
Introduction: Political Fear, Selective Narratives, and the Silence of Hindu Society
In Indian politics over the last few years, a very strange and concerning trend has emerged. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his strategic team continuously target Sanatan Dharma, Indian scriptures, and Manusmriti with sharp statements. However, the most surprising aspect of this entire phenomenon is that there is a strange hesitation, fear, or reluctance within Hindu society, preventing it from offering a factual and sharp rebuttal to these groundless attacks.
- The Reality of Selective Secularism: Rahul Gandhi’s ideological radicalism remains confined only to the criticism of Sanatan Dharma. He has never had, nor does he have today, nor will he ever have the courage to speak against the inhuman dogmas, atrocities against women, and fundamentalist systems of other religions.
- Shallow and Sponsored Knowledge: Rahul Gandhi’s historical understanding and study of Indian philosophy are extremely superficial. His comments are not the result of deep research, but are based on 3-minute cue cards prepared by leftist and ‘Urban Naxal’ advisors.
- Compulsions of Vote-Bank Politics: Putting Sanatan culture in the dock to appease a specific vote bank has become an established political strategy for the Congress.
1. Western History, Christianity, and the Oppression of Women in the Church
Rahul Gandhi and his leftist strategists attempt to blame Manusmriti or Sanatan traditions for every social evil or oppression of women. However, if they were to conduct even a slightly objective study of world history and Western society, they would learn how terrible the condition of women has been in Christianity and European history:
- Centuries of Struggle for Civil Rights and Suffrage: In the supposedly modern countries of Europe, women had to wage a long struggle for basic rights. In Italy, women gained the right to vote only in 1945. Did Manusmriti deprive Italian women of voting rights until 1945?
- Age-Old Bans on Female Priests: In Christianity and the Church hierarchy, it took centuries for women to gain the right to serve as priests or religious leaders. Did Indian scriptures influence Church rules?
- The Burning of Joan of Arc: The French heroine Joan of Arc, who deeply influenced Rahul Gandhi’s grandmother, former Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, was declared a ‘witch’ by the British Church and burned alive at the age of 19. Did the English clergy read Manusmriti before handing down that inhuman punishment?
- Vulgar Comments on Giorgia Meloni: Today, when a woman, Giorgia Meloni, becomes the Prime Minister of Italy, vulgar and crude comments are made about her and her gestures. Does Manusmriti teach this behavior, or is it proof of a deep patriarchal distortion in Western society?
2. Islamic Dogmas, the Shah Bano Case, and the Historical Surrender of Congress
Rahul Gandhi, who preaches about Sanatan Dharma, falls completely silent when it comes to Islamic personal law and the condition of women under it. Turning the pages of history reveals that the Congress’s own track record has been one of kneeling before fundamentalism:
- The Shah Bano Case and Rajiv Gandhi’s Surrender: In 1985, after creating history by winning 403 Lok Sabha seats, then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi caved under pressure from fundamentalist clerics and overturned the Supreme Court’s verdict through an act of Parliament. An helpless, 62-year-old elderly woman, Shah Bano, was deprived of her right to alimony. Was Rajiv Gandhi’s surrender caused by Manusmriti?
- Silence on Inhuman Practices: From where did horrific practices like Triple Talaq, Burqa, Halala, and polygamy originate? Why was Triple Talaq not abolished during the 70 years after independence—a period that included three direct Prime Ministers from the Gandhi family and the Manmohan Singh government?
- Global Inhumanity and Hamas’s Barbarity: The entire world witnessed the scenes of women being taken hostage, raped, and subjected to extreme cruelty by Hamas terrorists during the attack on Israel. Were those barbaric terrorists following the principles of Manusmriti?
3. Cue Cards from ‘Urban Naxal’ Advisors and the Insult of Veer Savarkar
Rahul Gandhi’s entire ideology is based on propaganda booklets sold for 20 rupees at the stalls of Maoists and ‘Urban Naxals’. He is surrounded by advisors who teach him only the politics of creating controversy:
- Misleading Advice from Sycophants: The half-baked advisors around him hand him cue cards suggesting, “Attack Manusmriti today, make an inappropriate statement against Swatantryaveer Savarkar tomorrow—you will hit the headlines.”
- Ignorance of Veer Savarkar’s Contributions: Setting aside the tortures Savarkar endured in Andaman’s Cellular Jail, had Rahul Gandhi even read Savarkar’s seminal work The Indian War of Independence 1857, he would never have dared to disrespect such a great patriot.
- Party’s Embarrassment Due to Ignorance: Making grand statements without deep study and ultimately leaving his own party in a defensive position has become Rahul Gandhi’s signature style.
4. Vedas, Upanishads, and Indian Philosophy: The True Source of Female Consciousness
Rahul Gandhi lacks knowledge of Indian Vedas and Upanishads, as well as an understanding of the history of India’s great social renaissance. India’s core philosophy has always been the bearer of respect for women:
- The Tradition of Female Scholars in the Vedic Period: Indian history features a long and glorious tradition of profoundly learned female scholars like Gargi, Maitreyi, Vidyottama, Ghosha, Apala, and Lopamudra, who engaged in philosophical debates (Shastrartha) with great sages and established new dimensions of knowledge.
- Foundation of Social Reform Movements: The great social reform movements led by Swami Dayananda Saraswati, Raja Ram Mohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Adi Shankaracharya, and Rabindranath Tagore were grounded in these very Vedas and Upanishads, which contain the highest inspiration for the empowerment of women.
5. The Historical Truth of Women’s Oppression Across the World
Dark chapters of oppression and exploitation of women recorded in world history had no connection whatsoever to Sanatan culture or the Indian subcontinent:
- Cruel Chapters of History: The extermination of women in gas chambers under Hitler’s rule in Germany, the oppression of women by tyrannical rulers in Iran, the slavery of the colonial era in Africa, female slaves being thrown before hungry lions in Roman arenas, and the horrific life inside the harems of the Mughals and Turks—was all of this governed by Manusmriti?
- Outrage of Western Authors: English writers like Anne Brontë, George Eliot, and Angela Carter, as well as Italian female literary figures like Moderata Fonte and Arcangela Tarabotti, wrote against gender discrimination, violence, and patriarchy within a society entirely shaped by Western and Church-ruled systems.
Conclusion: Time to Shed Political Fear and Stand with Truth
- Rahul Gandhi’s repeated attacks on Sanatan Dharma are not the result of factual study, but a product of cheap vote-bank politics and a sponsored attempt to weaken India’s cultural roots.
- Hindu society must completely rid itself of this unwarranted fear and political hesitation.
- Until society stands firmly with the true knowledge of its scriptures, solid historical evidence, and irrefutable facts to deliver a fitting response to these false narratives, leaders with superficial knowledge will continue to attack Sanatan to hide their own failures.
Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! 🙏
