Hindu Jihad
Hindu jihad is a word commonly said by hindu fundamentalist to defeat Christianity, muslims, sikhs, buddhism, jainism etc. Some observers have argued that this form of terrorism is really aimed at propagating Hindu culture, society and values in opposition to perceived political and cultural influences of western and islamic culture in india.
Terminology
Although the term “Hindu Jihad,” is a word kept by Christian medias in india. Many Hindus object to the term Hindu Jihad because Hinduism teaches peace and harmony. But Hindu fundamantalist saying hindus will recover whole india as hindu raj(rule of brahmins or upper caste). But Bhagavad Gita says jihad or dharma means self-defence. Hindu organization in india is misleading a word jihad for their benefits.
Hindu Jihadhis Points
Now india is a secular country, Hindu jihadhis need hindutva culture, hindu raj (hindu rule), Low caste peoples should not enter politics,minorities should obey hindus etc.
Jihad in Hinduism ( Bhagavad Gita)
All the major religions encourage their followers to strive in good works. It is mentioned in Bhagavad Gita.
Fighting prescribed in the Bhagavad Gita too
| All the major religions of the world have prescribed fighting, at sometime or the other, especially in self-defence or for fighting against oppression.Mahabharata is an epic and sacred Scripture of the Hindus, which mainly deals with a fight between the cousins, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. In the battlefield Arjun prefers not to fight and be killed rather than having his conscience burdened with the killing of his relatives. At this moment, Krishna advises Arjun in the battlefield and this advice is contained in the Bhagvad Gita. There are several verses in the Bhagvad Gita where Krishna advises Arjun to fight and kill the enemies even though they are his relatives. | |
| It is mentioned in The Bhagvad Gita Chapter 1 verse 43-46(43) O Krishna, maintainer of the people, I have heard by disciplic succession that those who destroy family traditions dwell always in hell”
(44) “Alas, how strange it is that we are preparing ourselves to commit great sinful acts, driven by the desire to enjoy royal happiness.” (45) I would consider better for the sons of Dhritarashtra to kill me unarmed and unresisting rather than fight with them. (46) “Arjuna, having thus spoken, cast aside his bow and arrow, and sat down on the chariot, his mind, overwhelmed with grief”. |
|
| Krishna further replies in Bhagvad Gita Chapter 2 Verse 2, 3“My dear Arjuna, how have these impurities come upon you? They are not at all befitting a man who knows the progressive values of life. They lead not to higher planets but to infamy.
“O son of Partha, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you. Give up such petty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy!” When Arjuna prefers to be killed unarmed and unresisting rather than fight and kill his cousins Kauravas, Krishna replies to Arjun by saying how this impure thought has come to you which prevents you from entering heaven. Give up this degrading Impotence and weakness of heart and arise, O defeater of enemy. |
|
| Krishna further says in Bhagvad Gita Chapter 2 verse 31-3331. “Considering your specific duty as a Kshatriya, you should know that there is no better engagement for you than fighting on religious principles, so there is no need for hesitation.”
32. “O Partha, happy are the Kshatriya to whom such fighting opportunities come unsought, opening for them the door of the heavenly planets”. 33. “If however, you do not fight this religious war, then you will certainly incur sin, for neglecting your duties, and thus loose your reputation as a fighter”. |
|
| There are hundreds of verses in the Bhagvad Gita alone, which encourages fighting and killing, many times more as compared to such verses in the Qur’an.Imagine if someone were to say that the Bhagvad Gita encourages the killing of the family members to attain paradise, without quoting the context – such a deliberate attempt will be devilish. But within the context if I say that for truth and justice fighting against the evil is compulsory, even if it be against your relatives, it makes sense.
I wonder how come the critics of Islam, especially critics amongst the Hindus, point a finger at the Qur’an when it speaks about fighting and killing unjust enemies. The only possibility I can think of is that they themselves have not read their sacred scriptures such as the Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata and the Vedas. |
|
| Critics of Islam including Hindu critics speak against the Qur’an and the Prophet when they say that if you are killed while doing Jihad i.e. fighting for the truth, you are promised paradise.Besides quoting Qur’anic verses they quote Sahih Bukhari Vol. 4, Book of Jihad Chapter no. 2 Hadith No. 46
“Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujaahid in His cause to Paradise if he is killed, otherwise he will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty”. There are various similar verses in Bhagavad Gita guaranteeing a person paradise if he is killed while fighting. Take the example of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2 verse 37: “O son of Kunti, either you will be killed in the battlefield and attain the heavenly planets (paradise), or you will conquer and enjoy the earthly kingdom, therefore get up and fight with determination”. |
|
| Similarly Rigved Book No. 1 Hymn 132 Verse 2-6 as well as many other verses of Hindu Scriptures speak about fighting and killing. |
Conclusion
A hindu jihad is means Holy war against bad peoples whoever may be but nowadays hindu terror organization express their views of hindu jihad to innocent, minorities, low caste peoples etc….

Mujhe garv hai Hindu hone ka.

Jayostu Hindu Rashtra !
arey murkh pichadi hui jaati eating reservations for the last 60 years and are still beggars – Gita does not speak of the dirty word jihad. It is the islamic words for terrorrism. And dharma does not mean self defense. It means duty. Go read you cheap dalit literatures. Do not interfere in our religion – HINDU, the greatest. You bouddh dalits do not belong to Hindu fold. Or else we will call for dharm yudh and show you barbarians your right place.

Hindu DharmYudh is the need of the hour to stop islamic terrorism, christian evangelism and budhist anti-Hindu propaganda. The lower caste Hindus are our people as are the Brahmins and we respect and protect the both. Those lowest people who were converted to buddhism by ambedkar are no more Hindus. They have no right to comment or interfere in our Great Hindu religion. Or else we will see this as an agression and those barbaric low people will feel the heat of Hindu fire.

In Indian context, fighting and winning the war doesn’t necessarily mean killing the opponents. whoever co-related the blind faith’s satanic verses with holistic Indian holy verses made a basic mistake. He is so blind that he can not see the fight as the fight between Dharma and A-dharma! and ones Karma! If you think what your are doing is in compliance with the peace of your society and good for the people without any religion/ caste / color / gender / creed differences It is dharma.
And india no one fights for honour or for paradise and no recorded history of any sort fighting or killing someone for paradise and please ure heavenly women. On the other hand its documented in the other religions about the same.. fight for paradise not to worry even if you die you will get heaven and the pleasure of nearly 70 virgin females in heaven. Such low moralistic context will not be found in indian culture or philiosophy.
I request to the author of all these hate threads, without knowing the facts NOT to compare the things. At the same time I would like to make it clear that our father of the constituation made special reservation to upbring the so called ill treated communities of the society and if you still find the atrocities then the father of the constitution should be blamed for that for why his consitution failed to bring justice to all communities.
