3 cheers to Ram Swarup for awakening us elite Hindus from our secular slumber
It was Ram Swarup who influenced a whole legion of elite Hindu thinkers to think independently and out of the box.
As a linguist and independent thinker, he was unparalleled. He took on critics both within and without and was at his demolition best. I don’t know Ram Swarup personally (1920 to 98). But his books have had a great influence on me.
I will allow his direct disciples to do the talking here:

Great author amd a great man…
You are not the only one deepak.. I think every proud hindu is indebted to ram swarup jee and alsi sita ram goel jee who has opened his voice of India publications… They are one of the best books on sanatan dharma..

We need more men like him.. Sangh organisations should produce more bold intellectuals like him to ideologically counter Marx-Mulla-Missionary’s craps.

His colleague, the late Sitaram Goel also made a tremendous contribution to the Hindu resurgence. The bharatvani.org website has a number of his books as well as those of Shri Ram Swarup.

@ Shallabh,
You need minimum intelligence to understand Ram Swarup. Most of the lesser Hindus are taken in by the pseudosecular humbug. that is why I coined the word elite Hindu — a superior breed that does not suffer from inferiority complex (the colonial hangover).

Ram swaroop also propagated condoms for its members of the sanathana sanstha not because he feared aids but he wanted his followers to enjoys sex and use sadhwis to the fullest extent so that it did not create any nusense later. His condom talk is greatly followed by sanathana sanstha members and the kudos to ram swarup for his forsight for this.

@ Fakie Arun Jain,
Your lack of knowledge is showing. Ram Swarup (not Swaroop) had nothing to do with Sanatana Sanstha. Nor did he have anything to do with Sadhwis.
Your pseudosecular bid at character assassination is a dud. Try something else.

arun jain, eh ? Can’t you fundie christians use christian names ? What with Prannoy Roy (his full name is Prannoy James Roy), and his cousin Arundhati Roy (full name Suzanne Arundhati Roy), and Sonia Gandhi (Antonio Maino), Rahul Gandhi (Raul John Paul), Priyanka Gandhi (Bianca Vadera), and Ambika Soni and Digvijay Singh and Rajdeep Sardesai, and that Barkha Dutt (married twice, each time to a muslim, and yet hides that she has converted to islam), all fundies, it is getting clearer that India faces a bigger threat from the cult of christ rather than the muhammadans. The latter are dangerous braindead zombies, but at least they show their true colours with the exception of Burka Dutt, but then she is under the coaching of her christian boss who also hides his faith.

@ S,
You are right. These Muzzis and Christian fundamentalists use Taqia (Hindu names) to cover up their medieval faith.

ram swarup had links with isi agents to create communal tension in india. He was being paid by pakistani intelligencia to instigate hindus against muslims and cause tension and it is because of this lust for money this person went ahead causing animosity between different faiths.

@ Taqia Vijay,
Ram Swarup also had links with Islamic terrorists to blow up the WTC.
Besides, he was funded by the RSS to wage jehad against India.
Nice pipe dreams.

A faker. Deepak you have my IP address, and you know I did not post comment #11. Hey faker, go and comment on the Fitna thread. Tell us about how BJP and RSS are screwing up Europe.

@ All,
this site is not a joke. I have the IP addresses. Anybody trying to impersonate and levelling cheap charges, I will block their IP address.
I have started this website for a real churning process — for a real dialogue. If somebody wants to be cheap, do it… their IP address will go for a six.

To S and DK,
You people are right. Now most of the rulers in india are Christians using Hindu names. Also there is propaganda that now almost 10% Indians are Christians. I doubt even hindutuva organisations are taken over by Christians both foreign and desi pretending to be supporters of hindutva.
December 8th, 2009 at 12:16 pm
hindutva is all inclusive. it is a way of life with all the religions and faiths involved and christians moslims sikhs jains budhists are all included. hindutva is indianness among diversity of faiths and it is not hinduism alone.

@ the above Fakie S
Dear fake S, try to use your own Id for posting your views here. You should not shy away to use your own Id. Why, I dont think S ever advocated to kill others because ‘we cannot compete them with our puranas or geetha’!!!! LOL!!!

Deepak, request you to delete comments by duplicate. He obviously is a muslim troll who is looking for more mischief on this forum.
Action taken. Sorry for the delay. I was out of town for two days — Deepak Kamat

Thank you Deepak. I still think that you will have to go for a forum that has registered users. So long as the users/posters/clients are limited, a forum can run on the current format of GreatHindu, but as readership expands (as it obviously is) you will have to take that move.
