Let us take the example of Hindus. The values of Hindus were
defined by their scriptures. The most important principle for them was Dharma,
whereas for the desert religions—Islam and Judaism—it was peace,
and for Christianity, it was prosperity and salvation.
This distinction is also reflected in their greetings. Muslims and Jews wish
for peace when they meet and greet, whereas such a concept was never central to
Hindu values. Dharma dictates doing the right thing,
choosing the right path—not necessarily the easiest or most
beneficial choice, as they are not always the same.
Instead of upholding Dharma, the Hindu value system was replaced with new ideals—peace and global reputation—as the highest goals. For the sake of peace, Hindus were made to divide their country into three parts, giving two to Islam. Hindus did not even get one out of the three countries exclusively; instead, India was made a secular nation. "Pakistan and Bangladesh are ours, but India is for everyone," declared the Muslims—and Hindus were forced to accept it in the name of peace. Two private accounts for Islam, one joint account for Hindus.
Today, the land reserved for Muslims in India (Waqf
properties) is larger than the size of Pakistan—and this was facilitated by
Hindu leaders who pretended to be Hindu in speech, attire, and
name but worked against Hindu interests. In the name of peace and
brotherhood, Hindus are now expected to accept fewer rights than
others.
- Hindus cannot own
or manage their temples.
- They cannot independently
run their schools.
- Their
temple donations are taken by the government, which then funds non-Hindu
religious institutions.
Since Hindus abandoned Dharma, they were fooled into accepting peace as their highest ideal. Now, their reputation as the "good boys" of the world matters more than righteousness, reciprocity, and choosing the right path—not the easiest or most convenient one. It is all heading towards -->"What is yours is ours, what is ours is mine, what is mine is mine.
"When I am weak, I ask for freedom because it is your principle; when I am strong, I take away your freedom because it is my principle" - Frank Herbert
Our principle was dharma, reciprocity not anything else, but they changed our principle to chasing brotherhood, chasing peace and give up anything when these are threatened.
