Defeating secularist plot to usurp majority Hindu India and majority Buddhist Sri Lanka
– by Shenali Waduge –
Independence to colonies came at a cost with a legacy that bound nations in debt by spending on solving the problems the colonials implanted. People were divided. Populations were divided. Ethnicities were divided. Tribes were divided. Boundaries were created and endless issues associated with each. Muslims have issues, Christians have issues, but when Hindus in India and Buddhists in Sri Lanka voice their issues it is referred to as communal. To be Hindu and to say one is Hindu is considered taboo just as Buddhists and Sinhalese are finding out too. Political correctness has meant politicians are to view issues from the lens of what benefits non-Hindus and non-Buddhists for that meets the criterion of the West’s policy of multiculturalism.
When Sri Lanka has been repeatedly warning India not to take the path that would eventually lead to Balkanize India, the warnings have not reached the people concerned. That is because the warnings are being deciphered by people who are helping that balkanization. We can name similar actors in Sri Lanka promoting the same notions. When media in India has been usurped and in the hands of the Church we can only express shock as to why such a great nation allowed such to happen. The great orators, the great thinkers/philosophers and politicians would not have expected Hindu India to fall this way. Was it not the Westerners that created the Aryan-Dravidian divide? Is it not established that North and South Indians both carry the same DNA differentiated only by the pigmentation as a result of weather.
In juxtaposing the situation currently faced in Sri Lanka and the growing bribery taking place by Tamil Nadu all we need is to put the dots together to see where the ultimate orders are coming from. We now realize that India is in a worse pickle than Sri Lanka and with so many intellectual Indian’s safely outsourced for foreign climes the West has deviously planned ways to evict the brains out of India. We can see similar ploys in Sri Lanka as well.
When India is now pointing fingers at the self-serving secular leaders and blaming them for not heeding the concerns of Hindus in their preoccupation with minority votes is this not what we are saying of Sri Lanka’s “self-serving secular leaders” and it is not difficult to name them.
With 1.2billion Indian population, 82% Hindus, 400,000 Hindu Temples but Subramaniam Swamy alleges that the Govt was “looting” the temples to support churches and mosques (ex: Andhra Pradesh state government to help build churches in Tirupati-Tirumal area, the seat of Hindu deity – Sri Venkateswara.
Subramanaiam Swamy also claims that the Indian Government is feeling shy to call India as a Hindu nation and reverberates the same sentiments about Sri Lanka’s Government. He even goes on to say that most Hindus today were passive to announce their Hindu identity in saying so he is also voicing what Sri Lanka’s Buddhists suffer from as well. Dr. Swamy goes on to speak about appeasement policy by some in the Government of India which resonates exactly what has ailed and continues to ail Sri Lanka. Dr. Swamy is calling for at least 40% of the 82% to rise in unity against the divides taking place in reference to a Bill being introduced by Sonia Gandhi that would automatically incriminate Hindus.
What is noteworthy is that Dr. Swamy called upon Indians in particular to become “Virat Hindus” – proud Hindus to save India because only Hindus could protect secularism and without Hindu’s there would be no secularism and that essentially is what we can say about Sri Lanka. People need to simply imagine how a country ruled by non-Hindus and non-Buddhists would be like!
If the Vatican can say it’s a Christian state (Roman Catholic) and no other religion is tolerated inside the Vatican, England is a secular state but the Angelical Church has official status and all nations with over 60% Muslims are not secular it is a bit strange that India is unable to call itself a Hindu state when it has 82% Hindus and Sri Lanka inspite of an Article 9 in its Constitution giving foremost place to Buddhism the political leaders cringe to say the country is Buddhist because they fear the world would come down on them.
Secularism cannot be defined in relation to a country alone. Though Christians may be in the minority in a country by virtue of its global reach and assistance given reaching out to all nations the “minority” status is not truly applicable. The same can be said of Islam as well and in particular to nations like Sri Lanka the effects of influence by global Christians and global Islamic lobbies. This brings Buddhists leaders and Buddhists into minority status and these lobbies have used effective ways to penetrate the decision makers. Both Christianity and Islam are global majorities making Hindus and Buddhists local minorities in their respective nations.
If there is a threat that Hinduism is likely to be extinct in India in 100 years time the same can be said of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.
It is for these very reasons that India needs to seriously look at the manner India is being forced into submission by Tamil Nadu that is greatly influenced by outside forces and these are NOT associated primarily with Sri Lanka. These forces are devising a greater plan piggybacking on the hyped “eelaam” tag for it provides the local sauce needed to gain the emotional unrest.
Helping that is the media who are the agents of these external forces in both nations which is why the discriminations against Hindus in India and Buddhists in Sri Lanka are quite obvious.
How many newspapers give unbiased coverage in either of the two nations? How quick are media to tag Hindus as “communal” in India and “Buddhists” as “extremists”, “militants” etc.
Most Sri Lankans are angered by India’s actions but in looking deeper we need to realize that non-Hindus helped by self-seeking Hindu secularists are steering India towards its downfall and that same situation is taking place before our very eyes in Sri Lanka.
It would be a good time for India’s Hindus to finally wake up and evaluate what has become of their Bharat nation and attempt to as Dr. Subramaniam Swamy advised to become “Virat Indians”. In Sri Lanka, of course the people have realized in time the forces at play and foresee the future.
India’s Hindus need to certainly wake up – it is not in India’s best interest to be separating India or Sri Lanka therefore it is a good time to stop diplomatic snobbery just to please the world and expect Sri Lankan populace to empathize with them.

Three Comments: Follow Buddha’s Teachings and Philosophy. Seek the Truth.
Comment 1: World History, Dogma, Myths and Natural Philosophy and Science
The Writer Waduge brings forth the important debate about reason, secularism, religious dogma, myths, the differences among humans due to natural selection and environmental factors, and the resulting human racism and religious discrimination. My race is Superior, my race or tribe is Chosen by the Creator, we have the God given right, our belief guarantees you Heaven, Nirvana etc. as written in our scriptures, and all others are dammed and might as well be burned to death or killed. Just read world history. So far, none of these beliefs have been proven, by independent observers, but used at various stages by the priests, monks, mullahs, the rulers, their supporters, racists, politicians and others to their own advantage. Examples are numerous. The best reason and explanations were given only by secular science, the natural philosophy that has clarified many natural and other evolutionary phenomena, despite the persecution of the secular natural philosophers or scientists by the myth controlled establishment. The biggest challenge faced by religious dogma, is reason and the scientific method, because all religious dogmas fail, when the test is applied. Buddhism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam are not immune.
Comment 2: Separation of Church, Temple, Mosque and State
Waduge Says:
“When Sri Lanka has been repeatedly warning India not to take the path that would eventually lead to Balkanize India, the warnings have not reached the people concerned”
Contrary to this, if USA did not separate Church and State, took a secular path, there would have been 10 Christian States, and a repeat of the European religious wars. It is the vision of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams that saved the United States from the disunited states. If the objective is to Balkanize India and Sri Lanka, then prevent the secular state and have multiple religious and language and race based dogma states, based on religious dogma, race dogma and put priests and monks in high places with power and chant all day long, with absolutely nothing to show other than keeping the monks and priests in power for ever, then there is no need for a secular state.
Presently a fair number of “Muslim” countries, aided and abetted by the Petrodollars fuelled by Wahhabi fanatics, try to promote “Their” version of Islam to other “Muslim” majority countries. There are many others where there is separation of Church, Mosque and State, for example Turkey, France and USA. USA, and France that followed USA, especially due to the vision of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, promoted the Separation of Church and State, which the Christian fundamentalists, did not like because they wanted to call USA, a Christian State, like the Buddhist and Hindu Fundamentalists would like to call the original Yakka, Naga and Veddah Land, Sri Lanka and India, Buddhist and Hindu States. If Waduge was born a Hindu Sri Lankan, which would have been the case, had Buddhism was NOT introduced to Lanka, like Bali, Waduge would be appalled at the atrocities of these Sinhala “Buddhists”, and the ethno-racism she subscribes to inflicted on Hindus in Lanka. Waduge needs to make the transformation made by Angulimala, if she has any hope of achieving Nirvana by following true Buddhism instead of following the bastardized “Buddhists” Budu Bala Sena. Besides, Buddhism peeled off Hinduism, just the same way, like Hinduism that was imposed on the Natives of India with its caste Brahmin system.
Comment 3: Following Myths and Dogma, the Dangers.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Marx
Karl Mark is credited with the quote, “Religion is the opiate of the masses”. The writer Waduge proposes feeding Buddhist opiate, Hindu Opiate, along with the other Christian and Wahhabi opiates. “One Fool jumps into a well and all the other fools jumps into wells strategy”. This was well understood by the socialists and Marxists of Lanka, but truly exploited by SWRD Bandaranaike and the current crop of ethno-racists.
Unfortunately, the Writer Waduge “Can’t see the forest for the Tress.” and overly concerned with detail; not understanding the whole situation and is missing the point, and needs to have the most relevant points explained, in the comments above. This is because Waduge sees everything from the hypothesis and dogma fed throughout her development in school, Dharma School, the associations she has etc. with respect to Sinhala Buddhism corrupted by Mahanama Monk, corrupted Mahawansa Myths. Same for Wahhabi indoctrinated Muslims and Christian or Hindu fundamentalism indoctrinated Christians and Hindus. Most are subjected to this indoctrination. Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler went through that too, 500 years ago. A very specific example is history is Aristotle Geocentric model accepted by the Church, Joshua stopping the Sun ,and could not accept the Copernican Helio Centricity even when data was presented to the Church leaders by Galileo in the phases of Venus and the priests observing them.
Everybody, except the Africans, conveniently want to forget the truth that humans came out of Eastern Africa some 70,000 years ago and they diverged from Gorillas and Chimpanzees some 3.5 million years ago. Fast forwarding to Lanka, the taking over of the land of Lanka from the native Yakkas, Nagas and Veddahs, the demonizing of their races and their beliefs by the racist Monk Mahanama of Mahawamsa Fame-Notoriety, in favor of the Prakrit invaders from Orissa-Bengal and the imported Buddhist religion from Kalinga, is still the core basis of the Sri Lanka Conflict.
Fortunately, the island of Bali escaped this calamity, and still remains 95% Hindu. It is Sri Lanka’s curse that Buddhism was introduced. It not it could have remained 95% Hindu and peaceful like Bali ans secular.
Well done Amarasiri,
Brilliant response to Shanali and her cohorts.
Velupillai Pirabaharan had a singular purpose in his life and that purpose was to prtect the tamil Pepole and the tamil People’s Homeland against the marauding pillage and butchery of the Sinhala Buddhist conquerers.
Velupillai Pirabaharan did not have any strategy in delaing with external influences; his purpose was deterministically singular.
He was indeed a God send.
