The Political Philosophy of Hindutva

Notas del editor

  1. And Hindutva would be the political philosophy that nurtures this nationality? http:// rashtra.in/wp/?p =2575
  2. Dr S Radhakrishna’s quote from http://www.hindu-blog.com/2009/09/hindu-blog-turns-3.html
  3. THIS IS NOT SAVARKAR’S HINDUTVA; IT SI NOT BJP’S HINDTUVA; IT IS NOT ANYBODY’S HINDUTVA; THIS IS THE HINDUTVA FOR OUR TIMES *** IN ALL CAPS *** THEREFORE HINDUTVA IS INDIAN-NESS, HINDUTVA IS BHARATIYATA HINDUTVA IS LIBERALISM, HINDUTVA IS THE ETHOS AND CULTURE OF THIS ANCIENT LAND HINDUTVA IS NOT HINDUISM; IT IS NOT FUNDAMENTALISM; IT IS NOT RELIGION ; IT IS NOT DICTATORSHIP OF THE RELIGIOUS FANATICS; IT IS NOT ANTI-FAITH; HINDUTVA IS A POITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS THAT RESPECTS FAITH AS A MATTER OF PERSONAL CHOICE FOR THE PRIVATE REALM – NOT SOMETHING FOR THE STATE TO INTERVENE IN THIS IS NOT SAVARKAR’S HINDUTVA; IT SI NOT BJP’S HINDTUVA; IT IS NOT ANYBODY’S HINDUTVA; THIS IS THE HINDUTVA FOR OUR TIMES ARTICLE 370 IS NOT ABOUT HINUTUVA – IT IS ABPUT INTEGRATION OF THE STATE OF J&K AND RELATIONS BETWEEN STATES Ram Janmbahoomi s not Hindutva – It is about a disputed site and historical grievances Uniform civil Code is not Hindutva – UCC Is about removing the misleading nomenclature of minoroties and majorities So what is Hindutva: HINDUTVA IS X, Y and Z (from the following slides) IN OFFSTUMPED’S WORDS (COMMENT ON KANCHAN’S BLOG: You have rightly pointed out why UCC, 370 are federal, national, secular liberal issues and nothing to do with Hindutva. ) From another comment on Kanchan’s Blog: ii) Ideological Coherence (nationalism, commitment to provide primacy to native Indian beliefs, fostering unity among its adherence) /Big ideas (local governance, harmonious local community relations to expand economic pie, urban renewal, superior enforcement of rule of law).
  4. A nationalist, not a religious or theocratic concept – replaced by “A Philosophical, not a religious or theocratic concept” not something for the state to intervene in * Open to discussion…
  5. Minimum government, Maximum governance // It is also about Local autonomy and Urban renewal Used “Economic Freedoms” in place of “ economic liberalisation”
  6. Note that Raj-Dharma is NOT Hindutva/ Raj-Dharma is more to do with “Executive” arm of the state; not legislative or judicial / Concepts and ideas heavily borrowed from Offstumped’s post on “Flat World Hindutva” Nitin: http://acorn.nationalinterest.in/2008/09/04/on-liberal-nationalism/ NOTE: There is a subtle nuance here. Primacy of National Interest does *not* mean Primacy of State (which runs counter to Classical Liberalism); It is the individual who should have primacy in making economic and other choices (incl. cultural and strategic)// The state is necessary for the practical enjoyment of individual rights and freedoms. The survival and security of the state—often termed “the national interest”—is directly connected to the ability of citizens to enjoy their freedom. Put in another way, …a king’s duties are more than that of a citizen’s. If a situation calls for the partition of a nation, then call for war, but never partition the nation Can you five brothers cut your mother into five and distribute amongst yourselves? If not, then how can you divide the motherland? – Bhishma Pitamah, MahaBharat
  7. From http://offstumped.wordpress.com/2010/07/08/rama-and-the-enlightened-pursuit-of-self-interest/ Ayodhya Kaanda (Chapter 1, verses 26-28) Ramayana source:http://www.valmikiramayan.net/ayodhya/sarga1/ayodhyaitrans1.htm#Verse26 Vivekananda quote: http://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_5/notes_from_lectures_and_discourses/law_and_freedom.htm
  8. Concepts and ideas heavily borrowed from Offstumped’s post on “Flat World Hindutva”// EXCEPTION – NEED TO CLARIFY FURTHER: Exception would be when fighting “Adharma” when the rule of law enforced by the State is not “desireless” and is motivated by an all-encompassing “Adharma” as was the case with the British rule and the freedom struggle *** Vasishta on Commerce, Private Property and the Rule of Law – All of Chapter 67 Ayodhya Kaanda Verse 22. araajake= in a ruler less; janapade= land; vaNijaH= traders; duura gaaminaH= who go to distant places; bahuvaNya samaachitaa= along with several merchandises; na gachchhanti= can not travel; kshhemam=safely; adhvaanam= on the path.” “ In a rulerless land, traders who go to distant places, carrying with them several merchandises, cannot travel safely in their voyages.” Verse 31 – araajake= in a rulerless; janapade= land; na bhavati= there is no; svakam= one’s own property; kasyachit= for any one; naraaH= persons ; nityam= always; bhakshhyanti= eat away; parasparam= each other; matsyaah iva= like eating fishes . “ In a rulerless land, there is no one’s own property for any one. Like fishes, persons always eat away each other.”
  9. traditional Hindu policies of minimum government and complete social autonomy. Therefore, society will be governed by Personal Law. Jatis and janajatis will be allowed to evolve and have recognized personal laws unique to themselves and their situations. The same will be true of minorities. http:// rashtra.in/wp/?p =2390 Musunuri
  10. See http://www.hinduwebsite.com/hinduism/h_aims.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puru%E1%B9%A3%C4%81rtha Purushartha is “aim of human existence” Artha : "(material and/or financial) prosperity as well as pursuit of meaning"
