Our Ideology
We believe in the Hindutva ideology. But we are not conservatives. In fact, no Right-Winger in any free country are really conservatives, and India is a free country. We recognize the fact that as Hindutvavadis, we are essentially Right-Liberals and our aim is to accept and embrace the reality of liberal modernity while at the same time, we are rooted in the Hindu culture of our Motherland.
Our aim is to guide you through the evolving dynamics of Indian politics and society and to together work for ensuring a holistic welfare state rooted in Truth, Love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Peace, in which each and every Indian is not only granted the utmost happiness, but also works diligently to ensure the utmost happiness of each and every other Indian.
Hinduism as an ever-relevant spiritual force
Our religion, Hinduism, is also called "Eternal Goodness" (i.e., Sanatana Dharma or Niranthara Aram) for a reason. We have directly or indirectly contributed to a lot of good things that make this world, including art, architecture, poetry, prose, music, drama, dance, yoga, sports, philosophy and even science. In fact, much of all the innovation which made this world what it is today started as a result of an intricate culture of social, theological and metaphysical debates in Ancient India as well as due to the extraordinary observation skills of the wise men and women who created art, religion and science in our country.
It is also a known fact that what the rest of the world knows today is a result of the transference of our wisdom through the East and the West of our country by land or through the South of our country by ocean.
Hence, we cherish in our hearts that we are Proud Hindus, because we are proud of our Ancient roots which made the knowledge across the World possible.
What makes you a Liberal Bhakt?
You are a modern Hindu who lived through this modern cosmopolitan world, and at the same time, you are convinced that the Hindu identity you have been raised in is something that every Indian should proud of. Hence, you do the work of propagating your identity to as many people as possible, especially online through social media. You are doing it because you want India to remain a free country that it is today. You know that there are elements who do not want India free. Hence, you are doing your best to "wake up" the Indian populace.
Though you may appreciate the modern elements which makes India a free country, you believe that Dharma, as an ever-evolving Ancient Indian compass of social framework, too makes our country free. You know that you have been taught wrong things about your own religion due to leftist education. So you are applying your new-found knowledge to teach the world what your religion really means.
Your being a right-winger in modern India itself makes you a Liberal Bhakt. In fact, a vast majority of our country's right-wingers are in the Liberal-Right.
Sanatani Feminism
Hindu women are entitled to numerous rights in the society such as getting education, pursuing occupation, learning self-defense, having male friends, finding romantic love, donning liberal clothing, etc., according to the principles of Sanatani Feminism.
With more Hindu women becoming aware of this fact, it is indeed heart-warming that many Hindu women these days are taking interest in learning more about our religion.
It is also nice to note that some Hindu women are even aspiring for leadership or for at least undertaking active roles in propagating the glory of our civilization and presenting unique perspectives about our culture and society (usually through social media) which are unknown to even the most well-learned of our men. Such women are indeed no less than living goddesses (Dévīs) in the contemporary Indian society.
Dharmic Socialism
India was at one time a prosperous land in which farm ladies used to cast their jhumkas at the crows feasting on their grain and farmers used elephants for threshing the surplus harvest and villagers used husks of rice-crops to dam and change the course of rivers. Hence we believe in reviving this general era of widespread prosperity in our country.
In the context of Modern India, we are working for (i) free access to education, healthcare and legal services, (ii) four days of work a week in the private sector, and (iii) a public sector workforce sensitized to the duty of ensuring public welfare, etc.
We are also opposed to caste-based stratification of the Indian society as per the principles of Hindutva and we support the upliftment of rural economies in lines with Gandhian socialism.
Historical background of our ideology
Like any other ideology based on Hindutva, our ideology is largely derived from the ideology of VD Savarkar, freedomfighter-turned-political-activist, who joined the Hindu Mahasabha after his incarceration in the Andamans. KB Hegdewar, the founder of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is also another important ideological backbone of Hindutva.
As Liberal RWs, we accept not only the position of the afore-mentioned Moderate Right thinkers, but also the positions of Moderate Centrists like Sardar Valabhbhai Patel and Liberal Centrists like MK Gandhi.
Keeping in mind that some of you visiting this site may not have a good opinion about Gandhi, we would love to inform you that your love or hate for Gandhi or any other legendary ideologue is immaterial for your becoming a part of our vision as long as you are a Right Winger.
Aside from that, we have identified that certain religious-minded political activists of those times such as Rabindranath Tagore, Subramania Bharathi, Sarojini Naidu and Rajaji belong to the Liberal Right ideological plane.
Religious Pluralism vs Secularism
We are fully aware about the drawbacks of the Left-Liberal Nehruvian vision of secularism which ended up creating new forms of discrimination in our country instead of fostering a spirit of genuine equality (if you are into Right Wing activity in social media, you would be knowing how). Hence, we believe that if we are to ensure genuine religious pluralism in our country, we have to put the smallest communities first.
Another important motto of ours is Dharma Above All: We believe in supporting religious communities in proportion to their contribution to the Dharmic harmony in our country and not because their share in our country's population is below 50%. In fact, we believe that 50% benchmark is too high for a community to be deemed as majority or minority.
National Integration
We believe that the diversity of languages, regional traditions and even political viewpoints (such as Left, Right or Centre) makes our country beautiful. But the big challenge is to unite all these into a cohesive whole and bigger is the challenge is to realize the Hindutva vision of uniting the castes, denominations, schools, lingual groups, etc., within Hinduism into a collective whole so that Hindus can work together for a larger national or global cause for Dharma.
What we need is a spirit of Greater Self-Dominion (Akhanda Swarajya) to realize this unity. This arises from the consciousness that the roots of the Indian civilization are essentially Hindu, no matter our ancestral background, the language we speak, whether we are rich or poor or middle-class, whether or not we sympathize with leftism, whether we are liberal or conservative, capitalist or socialist, authoritarian or democratic, etc.
The Language Question
We believe that the First Language of every Indian should be his/her Mother Tongue, the Second Language of every Indian should be English and that the Third Language of every Indian should be the language of the region in which he/she lives.
We disagree with the Western-origin concept of "One Nation, One Language".
We must keep with the current trend of "One World, One Language" to unite us as human beings and to spread the message of our Dharma across the world (this language happens to be English, our 2nd language). Then, we must use our multiple languages of our country to mobilize every Indian to realize his/her cultural identity to the fullest and to share that cultural identity to everyone else (Indian and non-Indian) in English.
A Standard Indian English
One of our projects in our organization include the development of a standard Indian English through which we can represent our multi-faceted culture to every other Indian as well as to the rest of the world. Hence, we are Indianizing English by creating a standard Indian methodology to pronounce words, frame sentences and use region-specific words and idioms in their original form.
This will not only remove the stigma that English is a "foreign language" for Indians, but will also help Indians use the language in propagating the message of Dharma to the rest of the world.
We, of course, don't want Indian English to become our "National Language", given our belief that the very concept of "National Language" is a foreign one. We just want to use the de-facto World Language to share our cultural wealth with the rest of the world.
Romantic Love
With arranged marriages increasingly proving disastrous for men as well as women in this modern atmosphere, we believe in advocacy for True Love to restore the Dharmic balance in our society so that each man and woman find happiness with the partner most suitable for themselves.
We support inter-caste marriages since it toes with line of the Hindutva vision of unifying the Hindu identity through the elimination of castes.
As for interfaith marriages, our pro-Hindu vision demands the prevention of conversion of the Hindu member to the maximum extent possible or the conversion of the non-Hindu member to Hinduism. In exceptional cases a Hindu may change his religion if only (i) he is a man, and (ii) the religion of his wife is an open religion (i.e., it allows reconversion to one's original religion and does not stigmatize this act of reconversion as "apostacy").
A Hindu woman changing her religion is a strict "NO", except only in those cases in which the husband is a Jain or a Parsi or a Baha'i (the three micro-minority religions of India).
Environmentalism
We believe in advocacy for renewable energy, biodegradable products, avoidance of products hostile to the environment (such as denim, nylon, plastic, etc) and adoption of vegetarian/vegan diet in lines with our environmental goals.
When we, in the future, begin our ground work, we will be moving around in bicycles, like the lady in the picture here (drawn by me), except while traveling long distances.
