THE 1947 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE from British rule was meant to bring a new era of
freedom, stability, prosperity and progress to the Indian Nation.
Instead, the
left-wing, Congress Party dominated Government of India proved to be an
ally of neo-colonialist powers seeking to perpetuate the subjugation and
enslavement of the long-suffering Indian people. This intolerable
situation has given rise to a nationwide popular revolutionary
movement for the liberation of India
from foreign domination.
The Hindu Revolution has a long tradition in India where it arose out of
spontaneous popular resistance movements against foreign powers which had
invaded and occupied the country with the aim of subjugating her people
and plundering her resources.
Among the most important
and well-known Indian resistance movements was the Sannyasi Uprising of 1761-1800
which shook the very foundations of the expansionist and predatory
British Empire.
Today, the Hindu
Revolution carries on the noble and
proud tradition of struggle for the liberation of India from hostile
foreign powers and their native collaborators.
The
Hindu
Revolution is a comprehensive
religious, cultural, political, social and economic movement aiming to
create unity, harmony, justice and prosperity in human society according
to the Hindu principles of Dharma (Righteousness
or Truth, Order and Justice) and Dharma Yuddha (Struggle
for Righteousness).
As indicated above, the
historical starting point of the Hindu revolutionary movement has been Western-dominated
Hindu India. From this historical situation of Western domination there
arose legitimate and necessary forms of criticism of and resistance to
Western economic, political and ideological models which were identified
by leading Hindu revolutionary thinkers as fundamentally
corrupt, unstable and unsound.
Hindu revolutionary philosophy
acknowledges the fact that Western revolutionary movements such as the
German Peasants’ Revolution of 1525, the American Revolution of 1775, the
French Revolution of 1789 and the Russian Revolution of 1917 correctly
identified some of the problems affecting the world as being imperialism,
colonialism, domination, oppression, exploitation, poverty and injustice.
At the same time, however, it is also acknowledged that such movements
were based on rudimentary ideologies using a framework of analysis that
lacked the depth of perspective necessary for the correct identification
of adequate remedies to the problems thus identified.
In contrast to the
inadequate utopian ideological constructs of Western revolutionary
movements, the Hindu Revolution is based on universal
principles and values arising from a realistic, integral and
comprehensive perspective of man and the world. As such, the Hindu
Revolution is not only anti-imperialistic, anti-exploitative,
anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory, but also democratic, progressive
and spiritual.
The Hindu revolutionary movement
understands itself as the historical manifestation of the universal
principle of Dharma. Although Dharma (Righteousness) is
eternal, immutable and changeless, it assumes different forms, or gives
rise to different evolutionary processes, according to the experiences
and conditions of man that obtain at a given point in history.
As part of this historical
process, Hindu
revolutionaries aim to rediscover Dharma as a practical
principle the effective implementation of which liberates human society
from Unrighteousness
(Adharma) and re-establishes the Rule of
Righteousness (Dharma Rajya) on
earth.
The realism, universality
and practical applicability of the principles and values of the Hindu
Revolution place it in a unique position to become a leading
force in the worldwide process of liberation from falsehood, oppression
and injustice.
