“Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah”
“Those who protect Dharma are protected by it.”
This ancient wisdom must ring louder than ever in our ears today.
A Silent but Dangerous Shift:
India is not just a piece of land. It is the only surviving civilization where Dharma was born, nurtured, and practiced for millennia. However, beneath the loud debates on secularism, minority rights, and electoral appeasement, a silent and dangerous transformation is underway, a demographic shift that threatens Bharat's civilizational identity.
The growing Muslim population in India is not merely a statistical issue. It has historical, political, strategic, and civilizational consequences. This article is not an alarmist cry, but a deeply researched, historically rooted, and dharmic appeal to awaken the Hindu mind, before history repeats itself.
1. Demographic Shifts: Numbers That Tell a Story
As per the 2011 Census, Muslims were 14.2% of India's population. By projections of 2023 - 2024, this figure is around 18 -19%, with states like Assam, West Bengal, Kerala, and parts of Uttar Pradesh already showing localized Muslim majorities in several districts.
Fertility Rates: The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) among Muslims remains higher than Hindus, especially in rural and less literate regions. The gap is narrowing, but in crucial border states and regions with illegal immigration, the Muslim population continues to grow faster.
Illegal Immigration: Lakhs of Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingyas have entered India and settled, changing the demography of Assam, Bengal, and Delhi. This is not natural migration; it is deliberate, organized infiltration.
2. Global Examples: What Happens When Demography Changes?
a. Lebanon - A Christian majority once; now Christian minorities live under threat.
Muslims became the majority and Hezbollah, an Islamic militia, holds more power than the Lebanese Army.
Lesson: No constitution can protect you if the demography flips.
b. Pakistan - Born from India's womb; turned into a theocratic Islamic state.
Hindus were 15% in 1947; now less than 1.5%, living in fear and persecution.
Temples demolished, forced conversions, no rights.
c. Kashmir - The land of Rishis and Pandits
Hindus ethnically cleansed in 1990.
Today, even visiting as a tourist means you are escorted by armed forces.
Lesson: You may have a state, but if the majority doesn’t share your civilizational values, you lose it anyway.
3. Shatrubodh: Know Your Enemy, Recognize the Threat
Shatrubodh is not hatred. It is clarity. It is understanding the intention, nature, and methods of those who work against your Dharma.
Islamic expansionism is not just a faith, but a political ideology
Dar-ul-Islam & Dar-ul-Harb.
Every time Muslims became a significant population in any land, they demanded special rights, and when denied, called it oppression.
Ghazwa-e-Hind is not a myth for many Islamic radicals, it is their prophecy.
Today, calls for Sharia, Hijab in schools, separate laws, and even ‘Muslim-only’ protests (like Shaheen Bagh) are not isolated events. They are testing grounds.
4. Historical Incidents: From Invasions to Betrayals
a. Islamic Invasions
From Muhammad bin Qasim in 712 CE to Aurangzeb, temples were demolished, Hindus were slaughtered or converted.
Kashi Vishwanath, Somnath, Mathura Krishna Janmbhoomi all have faced repeated destruction.
b. Partition
1947: India was split on religious lines. The Muslim League, demanding a separate nation for Muslims, got Pakistan.
Yet, Muslims stayed back in India where their numbers are now rising, while Hindus have vanished from Pakistan.
c. Separate Electorates (Pre-Independence)
Muslims got separate electorates in 1909 (Minto-Morley Reforms).
Result: Creation of identity politics, which gave rise to two-nation theory.
Lesson: Appeasement doesn’t lead to peace. It leads to partition.
5. Hindu Chethana: Time to Reignite the Fire Within
Hindu Chethana means awareness, pride, and action rooted in Dharma. It’s not about hating others, it is about loving oneself enough to protect our culture.
Temples must be reconnected to society.
Gurukulas, dharmic schools, and history lessons must rise from the grassroots.
Each Hindu must have Shatrubodh, Dharma Gyaan, and Desha Bhakti.
6. How to Stop the Disaster Before It Happens
a. Population Control Law:
- Uniform policy across religions.
- Incentivize small families and penalize those breaching limits.
b. End Illegal Immigration:
- NRC and border fencing must be enforced.
- Rohingyas and Bangladeshis must be identified and deported.
c. Ban on Madrasa Radicalization:
- Madrasas must be regulated.
- No foreign funding without scrutiny.
d. Civilizational Education:
Every Hindu child must know about Somnath, Vijayanagar, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Shivaji, and Veer Savarkar.
"Udyamam saahasam dhairyam buddhih shaktih paraakramah |
Shadete yatra vartante tatra daivam sahaayakrit" ||
Meaning:
“Effort, courage, determination, wisdom, strength, and valour where these six exist, even destiny supports them.”
We cannot blame fate or history. We must act with udyama (effort) and paraakrama (valour).
Either We Rise, or We Perish:
Demographics are destiny. If we ignore the rising population of an ideological group that refuses to assimilate, it won’t just be a cultural crisis, it will be civilizational suicide.
The warning signs are everywhere. From Shaheen Bagh to Karachi, from Hyderabad's AIMIM politics to Assam’s demographic shift, from Hindu exodus in Kashmir to voter bank politics in UP, Bharat is under silent siege.
Let us not wait for another Partition, another genocide, or another temple demolition.
It is time for Hindu Chethana. For Shatrubodh. For Dharmic Awakening.
Let us unite. Speak. Act. Before it’s too late.
