Demographic siege in Bharatvarsh

Hindu nationalists have two main objectives: to save civilization from swallowing ideologies and to disseminate the indigenous spiritual ideology.
The major issue that the Hindu nationalist have to contend with is demography. Pakistan poet Iqbal had once remarked that democracy is a number game where heads are counted and not weighed. Muslims believe in number game and their penchant for increasing population is recorded worldwide. The Hindu population in Pakistan, which stood at 19.2 percent in 1948, has declined to 1.6 percent as per the 1998 Pakistani census. Similarly, the Hindu population in Bangladesh, which was 28 percent in 1941, has declined to 9.2 percent in 2001. It is obvious that the drastic reduction of Hindu population was due to their persecution by the Islamic majority of Pakistan and Bangladesh.

The demographic situation in India is no better. The book – Religious Demography of India – published by the Centre for Policy Studies, Chennai claims that if the Hindu population declines in a similar manner, they would form less than 50 percent of the population b the year 2060. Alarming indeed. If we consider the population of entire India (including Jammu and Kashmir as well as Assam) the Hindu population has declined by 6.74 perent while the Muslim population has increased by more than 3.03 percent. It should also be mentioned that an increased Muslim population also leads to shift in the political dynamics. Muslims vote en-bloc and even their minority votes have a lot of bearing on the ultimate results.

The drastic demographic changes are even confirmed by secularist publications. The total fertility rate (TFR) is 3.4 children per woman. Muslims have considerably higher fertility than any other religious group. Muslim women have a TFR of 4.4, which is 1.1 children higher, then the TFR for Hindu women (Manorama Year Book 96, pg 458-459).

Muslims, who constitute barely one percent of the US population, have made the Americans paranoid about their security following 9/11. The Noble prize awarded to Sir V S Naipaul soon thereafter was a testimony to the havoc that the jehadi Islamic ideology can wreak. There is not even a single Islamic nation in the world that swears by secularism and it is obvious that the swelling of Islamic population would mark the herald of Talibanism and sound the death knell for other religionists. In this context, the Hindu nationalists have the additional responsibility of preserving civilization from the forces of barbaric medievalism.
