In today’s politics, there is a lot of discussion about the Hindu Rashtra. In order understand or articulate the nature of the Hindu Rashtra we must understand how it shall function through the Hindu Rajya. The contours of an Indian State, how it relates to the Hindu Nation and how different aspects of statecraft should be handled are to be analyzed.
In this discussion, the speaker recapitulates the various theories and solutions that great thinkers across the ages, Bhishma, Vasishta, Kautilya, Hemadri, Shivaji, Savarkar and Golwalkar have elucidated. He attempts to apply their prescriptions to modern situation that the Indian State finds itself in.
Problem is hinduism itself. It was the greatest ancient civilization which destroyed itself with nuclear warfare, lost its unifying spiritual ideology and benign cultural way of life has prevailed. Christianity and Islam are still being driven by spiritual ideology causing the same destructive strife.
