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.
