Today, most of the people watch TV, YouTube Channels, Videos communicated on Whatsapp or Twitter, and other serials and movies while travelling, eating food, and even for killing the time. The YouTube Channels can also be used for self-education as we learned in the earlier article. The media or social media is being misused through the people and companies with more influence on the news and broadcasting channels. The right of expression is misused as an opportunity to influence others and sometimes the influence becomes so powerful that the intended course of action is performed by the powerful people including Multinational Companies.

How Defaming Hinduism can be a hidden agenda:

(i) Hurting the emotions of Hindu Society:

The communication of false statements, arguments to hurt the feelings of a particular group of people, religion, society; is an act of defamation. Like other religions, Hinduism is not much organized and united around the world due to its religious values spread over plenty of forms of God. Accordingly the saints who preach the teachings of Hinduism are different from each other and due to similar target audience; they used to compete with each other. The Hindu people also blindly believe in various forms of God with a single approach of “fulfil my wish” and wherever the wishes are fulfilled; whole crowd of people runs behind for the same practices used by the former to get the wishes fulfilled.

(ii) Hindu People Divided with Following Different Spiritual Organizations:

There are a lot of spiritual organizations in India committed to guide people on the matter related to spiritual science including how to undertake spirituality, and proceed to attain ultimate happiness for which every person on this earth is wandering from one place to another. There is need to have real spiritual awareness about the real ‘Dharma’ and there are only a few saints who are guiding people upon it. As they are promoting Hinduism in real sense; they are being targeted by other religions of the world.

(iii) Allegations on Hindu Personalities:

There are Hindu Personalities, who have already been challenged earlier and bear the cost for promoting Hinduism. The allegation of murder has been faced by Jayendra Saraswati for a long period of 9 years. Saadhvi Pragya has been tortured through electricity shocks for long 5 years without any evidence against her. From last two decade, it seems that trapping of Hindu Saints has become a fashion by targeting Kripaluji Maharaj (proved innocent in court), Swami Nityanand (for whom Aajtak had to publish an apology letter for defaming Swami Nityanand on basis of false allegations), Asaramji Bapu (defaming him through fake sting operation), Baba Ramdev (framed in false allegations of adding bone powder in medicines which proved false), and in August 2017 Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan (convicted to be rapist in a CBI court and thereafter as a murderer also). 

(iv) Saints doing Humanitarian Deeds faced Allegations:

If you would have attended only one satsang (spiritual congregation) of any Hindu saint described above; you can easily notice how much social service is being involved by the followers of the saints. With defaming a saint; the ultimate most harmful affect goes to their followers who sometimes loose the hope of being stress-free and be emotionally tortured by various hands that are against Sanatan Dharm i.e. anti-national NGOs, Christian Missionaries, Corrupt Politicians, and Paid Media.

(v) Filling negative thoughts in Youth and Kids:

The youth and kids engaged in such propaganda suffered with negative thoughts due to continuous attacks upon their religious values. There is not a single law for protecting Indian saints from such attacks. The question remains “Why such injustice against saints? Why would anyone harm them if they are doing good deeds?” When Baba Ramdev had been targeted earlier, the Multi-national companies (MNCs) had been exposed for defaming his natural products.

How Indian Culture is being promoted through Saints:

The saints promote India's naturally originated products and the followers as well as whole world use them; and it becomes a threat for the MNCs. In case of Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan; he firstly popularized humanitarian deeds and be awarded with more than 50 International Awards, then launched herbal organic products, organic clothes, and even promoted Hinduism & Indian Culture through movies in his own style with performing multiple roles. Such performance can only be attained by enriching the power of mind through true meditation. He had been recognized around the world for having such meditation power to defeat film industry, and MNCs in promoting their originated products. He had been on target for last two decades and he also demonstrated the same in his first movie “MSG-The Messenger”.

Why such injustice happens? It’s time to frame a law to protect Hindu saints, to save Indian culture, to promote moral values and make India a land of great scientists and researchers. The political party in opposition for Elections 2019 given a slogan, “Ab Hoga Nyay” means “This is time for Justice” has also pointed out the whole picture of India’s political and social situation.

How to stop misuse of Media by Multinational Companies?

The people involved in making false news, events, statements viral should be taken serious by the Indian Government. An act is required to be enacted to ensure secure environment for the living of Hindu people. India is known as a land for all religions and it is required to take steps for restricting the misuse of media.
