भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

The demand for a Hindu Raj, these pseudo-nationalists say, is communal, stupid, mediaeval, theocratical, a menace to the progress of mankind itself! But they conveniently refuse to tell us what they precisely mean by Hindu Raj, before they characterise it in the above-mentioned vilifying terms. Nevertheless, assuming for the sake of argument that the demand for a Hindu State deserves this condemnation on all these counts, may we ask them, was not the demand for a Moslem State at least equally condemnable on these very counts? Did the Moslems not base their claim to own the Pakistani Provinces on the ground that the Moslems constituted the major community predominating there? How then that communal claim was respected by you as so fundamentally national as to vivisect our Motherland to make room for an Independent Moslem State? Why did you not refuse to listen to that ‘Communal‘ claim as ‘stupid’? Did the Direct Action the Moslems resorted to, not prove it to the hilt that the Moslem State they demanded was avowedly theoretical, setting the hands of the clock of Human Progress back not only to the ‘Mediaeval’ but to the beastial age? But instead of fighting against that demand for a Moslem Raj, you actually abetted the crime of cutting integrated India right into two pieces directly on communal lines, which the Anglo-Moslem conspirators perpetrated and handed over Pakistan to the Moslems so ceremoniously, with such ease and grace as you would hand over a cup of tea to a welcome guest! With what face now can you vilify the demand for a Hindu Raj on these very counts, even if it could be said to possess all the above traits? Perverse Gandhism Had not Gandhiji himself conspired with the Ali Brothers to invite an invasion by the Pathans and to enthrone the Amir of Afghanistan as the Emperor of India? Had he not declared again in the year 1940 in writing and repeated it now and then that if the Nizam, subduing the Hindu Princes and with the support of Frontier tribes, took Delhi and became the ruler of India that would be a perfect Home rule, a cent per cent Swaraj? Thus, a Pathani or a Nizami Moslem Raj is to Gandhiji a cent per cent Swaraj. But a Hindu Raj! Oh no! It would be communal, fascist, anti-national and an anathema!!! You contend further on that our country and our state can not be called Hindusthan and a Hindu State as some non-Hindu minorities too are citizens thereof. But how is it that in spite of the presence of Hindus, Christians, Parsees and other non-Moslem minorities in its territory, all of
