[GHHF] Bala Samskar Students learned about Rani of Jhansi who bravely fought with British to protect Gwalior and died Lakshmibai, also known as the Rani of Jhansi, was a brave Indian queen and warrior. She was born on November 19, 1828, and died on June 17 or 18, 1858. She became one of the most important leaders during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. For many Indian people, she became a powerful symbol of standing up against the rule of the British East India Company in India. •    Who Was Rani Lakshmibai? Manikarnika was born into a Maratha family in Varanasi, India. People often called her 'Chhabili' because she was so cheerful and lively. In 1842, she married Raja Gangadhar Rao, who was the Maharaja of Jhansi. After her marriage, she became the Rani (Queen) of Jhansi and was renamed Lakshmibai. This new name honored the Hindu goddess Lakshmi. •    Her Family Life: In 1851, Rani Lakshmibai had a son named Damodar Rao. Sadly, he died when he was only about four months old. Just before her husband, Raja Gangadhar Rao, passed away in November 1853, they adopted a son. They named him Anand, but later renamed him Damodar, in memory of their first son. •    The Raja wrote a letter to the British government in India. He asked them to recognize his wife, Lakshmibai, as the ruler of Jhansi after his death. However, after her husband died, the head of the British government, Lord Dalhousie, did not allow her adopted son to become the new Raja. Instead, the British took control of Jhansi. •    Rani Lakshmi Bai’s Fight for Freedom: In June 1857, Indian soldiers rebelled against the British. All the British people in Jhansi were killed by these rebel troops. The Rani then took charge of Jhansi temporarily. She needed to create an army to protect her city from other invading forces, like those from Orchha and Datia. However, the British believed she was responsible for the deaths of their people. •    The Siege of Jhansi: In March 1858, British forces arrived in Jhansi. They were led by Sir Hugh Rose and wanted to take the city back from the Rani. Rani Lakshmibai wanted Jhansi to be independent. The British surrounded Jhansi and attacked it. After a strong fight, they finally captured the city. Many people in Jhansi were killed during the fighting and even more afterwards. •    The Final Battle: The Rani managed to escape from Jhansi and went to Kalpi. There, she joined forces with a Maratha general named Tantya Tope. Together, they captured the city of Gwalior. On June 17 and 18, 1858, the Battle of Kotahki Serai took place. British forces, still led by Sir Hugh Rose, fought to take Gwalior back. During this fierce battle, Rani Lakshmibai bravely fought and died.

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was founded in 2006 to support the preservation, promotion, and maintenance of Hindu culture, temples, and institutions internationally. To achieve this objective, GHHF is conducting about 14 activities at the grassroots (village) level to make Hindus aware of the richness of Hinduism, making them proud of their culture, stopping Christianization of the villages, equipping the children with scientific, spiritual, and religious significance of Hinduism, and many more as listed below. One ounce of activity is worth tons of talking. 1. Ghar Wapasi—to protect our Hindus from conversion and welcome back to Hinduism those who were converted to Christianity. Twenty-two Pracharaks work in six different states, educating our Hindus about the difference between Hinduism and Christianity, giving tips on how to encounter missionaries, and preparing Hindus to act like Hindus with pride. 22 Pracharaks work daily to make Hindus realize the greatness of our culture and welcome back those converted Christians to Hinduism.     2. Bala Samskar Kendras—175 schools started in nine different states and Bangladesh to educate our children about the richness and greatness of Sanatana Dharma. A detailed syllabus has been created to educate individuals on local customs, festivals, the sacrifices made by national heroes, the teachings of prominent Maharishis, the cultural significance of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, moral stories, and the practice of Surya Namaskaras. The institution has an enrolment of approximately 4,500 students.       3. Grama Devata Temples are being renovated to preserve village deities' culture and ensure village safety. More than 45 Grama Devatas were renovated to ensure the continuity of ancient culture. About 60 Grama Devatas have been constructed or renovated.       4.

Visit each family in the village, invite them to the Temple, organize Bhajans, and teach mantras to chant.       6. Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam – Providing necessary puja items to village Temples that could not light the lamps in the villages. More than 1000 Temples received Puja items.       7. “Intinta Shiva Abhishekam” was started to perform rituals in the homes of poor, Dalit, and tribal communities to foster appreciation for traditions and unite these groups.       8.

To ensure the basic needs of the cows, monkeys, dogs, birds, etc., GHHF made water Tubs specially for this purpose, placed them in different villages, and filled them with water every day for more than two months each year.       10. Water Pandals (Chalivendras) opened in about 30 centers to provide water and buttermilk in the Summertime in 2024. We rented water tanks and sourced water from nearby wells, ensuring that the pandals were replenished approximately every three months.       11.

Environmental Protection Summer heat waves are causing health problems through dehydration, exhaustion, and loss of electrolytes. We can address the issue by planting more trees. We have been planting many trees in Assam and Andhra Pradesh for the last four years. In Anantapur, more than 1,000 trees were planted, while in Assam, 750 saplings were planted. 3,000 eco-friendly Ganesh idols were distributed. Also, GHHF celebrates World Environmental Day every year.     14. Help Hindus in Bangladesh. Hindus in Bangladesh are facing severe violence, including attacks on homes, temples, and businesses. Thousands are struggling for survival with critical needs for food, shelter, and protection.

The sacred Puri Jagannath Rath Yatra festival has immersed Hindus worldwide in devotion. Lakhs of devotees flocked to Puri to pull the chariots of Jagannath, Balabhadra, and Subhadra Mata. In such a magnificent spiritual context, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) showcased its commitment to Dharmic service by successfully organizing an Annadanam (food donation) program for the devotees participating in the Rath Yatra. Significance of Rath Yatra and the Greatness of Annadanam: Jagannath Rath Yatra is not just a festival; it is a ten-day divine journey where Lord Jagannath, the Supreme Being Himself, comes out into the streets to give darshan to His devotees. Hindu Dharma teaches that participating in this Yatra grants moksha (liberation). In such a holy journey, feeding hungry devotees is extolled by Puranas as the most distinguished service. True to the saying "Annadata Sukhibhava" (May the giver of food be blessed with happiness), GHHF believes that divinity resides directly in the server when food is donated. Hence, GHHF activists participated with dedication in satisfying the hunger of thousands of devotees. Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh's Efforts in Expanding GHHF Activities in Odisha: In fact, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation did not have any activities in Odisha state previously. However, in this direction, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, the National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, recently toured Odisha for 7 days. During this tour, he conducted extensive meetings in many areas, encouraged local activists, and laid the foundation for initiating Dharmic activities through our organization in Odisha. This Annadanam program at Puri Rath Yatra is an auspicious beginning for GHHF's future activities in Odisha and a tribute to his efforts. Heartfelt congratulations to all GHHF activists who participated in this divine Annadanam program. We will soon inform you about the full details of GHHF's expansion activities in Odisha, as well as Sri Rajesh's tour, through videos.

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and I M Human Foundation are pleased to announce that the lecture by Kajal Hindustani in Dallas, Texas, on June 29 was a grand success. It was a full house. The event began with the lighting of the lamp by Kajal Hindustani, Pankaj Kumar, Sashi Kejriwal, Chetan Patel, Bharat Bhakta, and Mrs. Meenakshi. Prakasarao Velagapudi thanked everyone for attending the event, mentioning the mission of ZGHHF, which was started in 2006, and the hurdles we face when we follow Darma. Gave an example of Lord Rama facing innumerable problems in following Dharma. Pankaj Kumar ji, CEO of PMAM Corporation, introduced the Chief Guest. Kajal Hindusthani ji, a fearless lioness from Gujarat, Bharat, who gave up her surname Shingala on social media and adopted a nationalistic approach by using Hindustani with her name. Ever since she is profoundly known as Kajal Hindustani, a staunch Nationalist, Hindu human rights activist, and Influencer who has 295K Followers on Instagram, with lakhs and thousands of followers on her Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, she speaks and works on several ground-level Sanatan Dharmic activities. Kajal Hindustani Ji stated that people will treat and follow those who have attained celebrity status based on their oratory skills. She recalled her journey of awakening as a Hindu. She recalled that when she was in the initial stages, Dr. Prakash Rao Velagapudi ji of GHHF guided her since 2018, despite a 7-year gap.   His guidance and support she still remembers and shares with all as to how the protectors of Sanatan Dharma are safeguarded by the virtue of one's good deeds. Talking about the core topic “Ram Mandir to Ram Rajya,” she then narrated the 500 years of long struggle of building Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya with sacrifices of many hard-core Hindu, saints, VHPA, Karasevak, countless lives and sacrifices of Karasevaks were remembered, quoting how Sabarmati Express Hindu Victims who were returning from Ayodhya were burnt live by jihadi extremists.   Kajal ji further quoted the valor of several kings and queens, as well as true sons of Bharat, who fought against cruel enemies and Muslim invaders like Ghazni and Aurangzeb. Kajal ji mentions how Jijabhai raised the lion Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and lion cub Chava Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the brave Marathas who fought the cruel Mughals, Maharana Pratapji's valor and the battle of Haldi Ghati was also quoted, prominent among the Hindu queens Rani Lakshmibai, the Queen of Jhansi, is renowned for her bravery and courage during the Indian Rebellion of 1857. She expresses dismay that modern women have become weak, contrasting them with historical figures like Rani Channamma, Rani Naika Devi, Rani Padmini, Jijabai, and Ahilyabai, who were trained as warriors from childhood.... She attributes the rise in violence against women to this societal weakening, blaming parents for raising daughters as "dolls" rather than empowering them with self-defense skills. She asserts that self-defense is the only guarantee of safety, as waiting for government or police intervention is often ineffective   She shared a tragic incident where a Hindu father trusted his Muslim neighbor, asking his daughter to tie Rakhi to him for protection. Instead, the Muslim neighbor — a jihadi — threw the girl from the top of a building, killing her. This shows why Hindu girls must be raised not as fragile dolls but as Shakti — strong, confident, and trained in self-defense. She also stressed the importance of supporting Hindu carpenters, milkmen, plumbers, electricians, and others, and not giving business to jihadis to save a few rupees, because that money could be used to harm your fathers and brothers. Kajal ji has requested the women to be strong like our brave queens, as she is the Nari Shakthi, self-reliant, and to learn how to defend themselves from the perverts. ●   Teach their younger girls to be vigilant and uphold the values of Dharma. Please spread the word to five families on her powerful message ● Meditation helped her to travel 600 km without taking rest, yet her energy level remains the same, even when her children and well-wishers ask her to rest, she would not. All the energy she gains is through meditation, and those who work for Dharma will protect it. ●     Associate yourself with Hindu Organizations like Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, they can fight for you, and only they can save you, not your riches ●     Stay away from buying from Jihadis. Every purchase that you buy from them, either online or in store, you are giving them to kill yourself, your husband, and your entire family ●      Be Hindu and buy from Hindu sellers. She concluded her speech with these slogans Bolo ki Hindu Ek Hein. Bolo ki Hindu Ek Hein. Siyavar Ram Chandra Ki Jai, Pavan Sut Hanuman ki, Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj ki, Dharmveer Sambhaji Maharaj ki, Maha Rana Pratap ki ,Gita Matha ki, Ahalya MAATHA ki Jai, Bharat Matha ki Jai, Vande Mataram chants echoed in the Bharatiya Nivas ballroom. GHHF would like to thank Hasmukhji for arranging the event. We also extend our gratitude to the support of Pankajji, Sashiji, Bharat Bhakta, Satish Koosam, Prashant Nanganuri, M. Chandrakant Reddy, Ramakrishna Gurram, Arpan Prakash, Vigyabji, and many others.

"In the great books of India, an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence, which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the questions that exercise us." Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Author The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is excited to meet approximately 20 youth leaders who have expressed interest in serving Sanatana Dharma and Bharata Mata. About a month ago, the BSR party of Telangana State celebrated 50 years of movement in Dallas, Texas. At that time, many political leaders came and visited the Hanuman Temple. At that time, many of them visited our house, accompanied by local youth leaders. They come to what GHHF is doing at the ground level and how we are protecting the villages from being converted. The local youth expressed interest in joining our movement and assisting with social media and spreading the word about our activities to the youth.                 One of our active leaders, Puneeth Pantha, took the responsibility of coordinating this meeting on June 28 at our house. Prakasarao Velagapudi, assisted by Prashant Nanganuri and Chandrakant Reddy, welcomed the youth leaders and traced the history of GHHF over the last 19 years. GHHF was started in 2006 in the USA with a mission to free Hindu Temples from government control in India to be managed by Hindus only. Prakasarao said he retired from teaching after 36 years of service in 2006 and went to India, thinking of traveling and visiting pilgrimage places. As the adage goes, 'man proposes, God disposes.' On August 23rd at 7:23 am, he was reading Eenadu Telugu newspaper and was shocked to read that the Andhra Pradesh government issued Government Order 21 allowing the government to allocate crores of rupees for the construction of new churches and renovation of old churches. Socked by the news, he went to the High Court and got a Stay Order. Then he returned to the USA and, along with highly committed Hindu activists, founded the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. The mission of GHHF is to protect, preserve, promote, and maintain Hindu culture, Hindu temples, mutts, peethams, endowments, Trusts, and other institutions globally. To achieve this objective, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was established to take the necessary and appropriate non-violent actions against all laws, policies, and activities undertaken by any government, individuals, and/or organizations that adversely affect the Hindu religion, Hindu Temples, and other Hindu institutions. One of the main goals is to take necessary legal steps to abolish the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Acts across India and ensure all the Hindu Temples and other Hindu institutions become independent of state government control. Just as other religions and their facilities are independent of government control, the Hindu religion and its facilities should be independent. GHHF will remain cognizant of the status of Hindu culture and Hindu Temples globally and take necessary action to eliminate discriminatory practices.                 He mentioned some of the achievements over the last 19 years and shared the document with details. He mentioned a few activities GHHF is conducting in nine different States in Bharat and Bangladesh. They are: Ghar Waapasi, Bala Samskar Kendras, Grama Devata renovation and revival, Annadanam, Sponsor a Priest, Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam, Intinta Shiva Abhishekam, Cow puja and protection, Animal welfare, Flood relief, Environmental protection, Imprinting Jai Sri Ram and Chalivendras (Water pendals). We showed a 20-minute YouTube video produced by Mana TV explaining the activities being conducted in the Anantapur District. Many of them expressed their desire to participate in our movement. We thanked them for their willingness to participate in the endeavor.

My plea is don't disrespect my faith." on June 22.  On June 25th, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has written a letter describing true nature of both Christianity and Islam. I am sending that letter in two parts. This is Part 1 of the letter. Thanks) Dear Sri Pawan Kalyan Garu: Subject: Christians and Muslims never respected Hinduism for more than 1000 years; They will never do. Please devise plans to deal with their disrespect, hatred, concealment, and terror. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very proud of your commitment to protect and preserve Sanatana Dharma. Over the last year, you have created a sense of belonging among Hindus. We are guided by Dharmic values such as ahimsa, tolerance, patience, and accommodation. Christianity is characterized by rampant conversion, exploitation, illegal occupation of lands, illegal construction, and deception. Islam by terror, torture, destruction, killing, raping, love jihad, sharia law, Jizya taxes, and forced conversion. But it is painful to read your statement issued on June 22, 2025, at Muruga Bhakthargal Maanaduin in Chennai, that “I respect Christianity, Islam. My plea is don't disrespect my faith." You even stated addressing these two religions, “You may not respect my faith, but don't disrespect it." How long will Bharath survive the ever-increasing number of Abrahamic people, their hatred, their terror, their deception, and their longing to see the demise of Hinduism? Then there are ‘fake secularists’ who are willing to stab their own mother, sell her to these two religions to satisfy their greed for money, power, and position. They have been disrespecting the Hindu faith for about 1000 years. There is a written history documenting their attempts to dismantle Akhand Bharat and the methods they employed to achieve it. The entire continent of Asia, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and parts of Russia, was part of Akhand Bharat. Now we are clinging to Bharat, which is about 15 Percent of Akhand Bharat. There is no guarantee that we will be able to protect Bharat to say that Hindus have a country. Muslims have about 58 countries, and Christians have hundreds in their belt. Do Hindus ever learn from 1000 years of history? Do we ever remember our forefathers who sacrificed their lives to enjoy the fruits of Sanatana Dharma? Do we ever acknowledge the sacrifices of national heroes who sacrificed their lives for us to enjoy freedom? Do we ever remember the estimated 200 million who were killed because they refused to convert to Islam or Christianity? Can we forget those historical, spiritual, and religious structures that were attacked, demolished, and disrespected by building mosques on the broken pieces of our Gods and Goddesses? Can we ever overlook what happened in the Hindu Kush mountains and the Goa Inquisition? Even a cursory review of these two Abrahamic religions reveals their brutality, cruelty, hatred, and intention to wipe out Hinduism and humanity. See what Muslims are saying? “Muslims ruled India for 1000 years. They beheaded lakhs of Hindus. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam. They broke India into pieces and snatched Pakistan and Bangladesh. They demolished 2000 temples and built mosques here. Even today, Hindus raise the slogan that Hindus and Muslims are brothers out of fear of us. This is the power of Islam.” Maulana Jhakir Naik, Mumbai. We can see that they do not hide their intention to wipe out Hinduism, root out the roots of Sanatana Dharma, and establish an Islamic State and enforce Sharia law. What does Christianity stand for? About Christianity, Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, stated that “Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth. Let us look at what each Religion has in store for Hinduism 1. CHRISTIANITY Bible God does not respect us We are all sinners to begin with. Unless we surrender to Jesus, He would not recommend to the Father a place in heaven. Christians believe that Jesus gave them the right to deceive, convert, subjugate, conquer, and proselytize any nation or religion by all possible means. They are entitled to such methods as allurement, fraud, coercion, and violence in converting, but they criticize Hindus even if they talk about their atrocities of conversion. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher “I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty-I call it the one mortal blemish of mankind. In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.” Swami Dayananda Saraswati equated the Christian fanatical aggressiveness to the declaration of war, and war is synonymous with violence. He said that "conversion is an act of violence…aggressive religions have no God-given right to destroy ancient faiths and cultures… it is an act of violence because it hurts deeply, not only the other members of the family of the converted, but the entire community that comes to know of it. When the hurt becomes acute, it explodes into violence…humanity cannot afford to lose any more of its existing religious traditions.” Swami Dayananda Saraswati organized an Interfaith dialogue for about ten years to foster common understanding among all religions and proposed a resolution that states, “We Respect All Religions.” Christians and Muslims rejected the resolution, saying that they would not respect Hinduism 1) We must hate our Parents to be Jesus’ disciples As per Jesus, one must hate his / her parents if they want to believe in Jesus. He also says that “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters— yes, even his own life— he cannot be My disciple.” (Luke 14:25). “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;” (Matthew 10:37). “And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.” (Matthew 23:9-10) a Hindu who believes in “Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava,” this is an affront to the morals and dignity of human beings. It is outrageous to think that any God would hate the parents because people loved their parents more than they loved Jesus himself. 2) Jealous Jesus says our Murtis must be burned down The Bible explicitly talks about idolatry. It is detestable. It says not to bow down to the idols, not to worship them, burn the Temples, break down the Murtis, smash them to the ground, and punish them for 3-4 generations. Let us look at these pertinent verses: “You must burn their idols in fire, and you must not covet the silver or gold that covers them. You must not take it, or it will become a trap to you, for it is detestable to the LORD your God. (Deuteronomy 4:25); “You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, (Deuteronomy 5:9); "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. (Exodus 20:3 -5) Zechariah 13:2 "On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land 3) Idolaters to Be Put to Death And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die, because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. (Deuteronomy 13:10,11) Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which hath committed that wicked thing (worshipping the idol), unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. (Deuteronomy 17:5) 4) Smash the Idols So, all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD. (2 Kings 11:18) Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods--atop the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree. Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the idols of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place. (Deuteronomy 12:2) 5) Rebellious Sons must be stoned to Death Deuteronomy 21:18-21 says: “If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So, you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear and be afraid. 6) The Bible teaches to hate Parents Christians tend to demonize Hinduism and do not respect any other religion. Intolerant Christians say that all other religions are incomplete, and their followers go to hell and burn eternally for not accepting Jesus. Non-Christians will either go to hell or be condemned. They will not be saved. Jesus is the only Father, not your real father “And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.” Matthew 23:9-10 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters— yes, even his own life— he cannot be My disciple. (Luke 14:25) Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant? (Deuteronomy 33:9) 7) Came to Divide, not to Bring Peace “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follows me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:34-39). 8) A blasphemer must be put to death "Take the blasphemer outside the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone at him. (Leviticus 24:14) And the LORD said to Moses, "The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp." (Numbers 15:35) Dear friends: Have you ever heard any Christian saying that we respect Hinduism? Never in the history. Christians have changed the demography of the globe by establishing its faith in hundreds of countries. Why do we still think that we respect their religion when it’s Bible clearly tells it’s faithful to convert everyone and break all our idols, wipe out the sinners. Meaning Hindus. When do we wake up. It will be too late if we do not wake up.  (NOTE: Part 2 of the article will be posted tomorrow.)

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to transmit the richness of our culture to our children, make the proud of their history, inspire them to emulate the national heroes who sacrificed their life for the country and make them the model Hindus to work for the welfare of the humanity. One of the national heroes they learned about is Vanchinathan. Vanchinathan: Flame of Patriotism Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sankaran in our Tamil Nadu. He was very cultured, had great respect for his country and his traditions. He grew up listening to his elders and having good habits from a young age. Although his real name was Sankaran, history remembered him as Vanchinathan. When Vanchinathan grew up, he worked in the Travancore Forest Department. In those days, our country was ruled by white people, that is, the British. They were plundering our country's wealth and treating our people as slaves. They wanted to destroy our Hindu religion and our traditions. Vanchinathan did not like this at all. His anger and pain were increasing day by day. In particular, there was a white collector named Ashe. This Ashe was very wicked. He used to torture our people a lot. He used to suppress those who were fighting for freedom. At that time, a great leader named Chidambaram Pillai had set up a shipping company (Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company) for the people of our country. Ashe made many efforts to close that company. He troubled the workers. He unjustly sent Chidambaram Pillai to jail. These things hurt Vanchinathan a lot. "Something must be done about these people who are hurting our people so much!" Vanchinathan thought firmly in his mind. Moreover, at that time, King George V of England was coming to our country. "Why should we welcome the king of those who see our country as slaves when he comes to our country? We should protest!" Vanchinathan thought. He combined these two to warn Ashe and protest the visit of King George V. He made a solid plan. He took gun training from a teacher named V.V.S. Iyer. He joined an organization called "Bharat Mata Sangam" and strengthened his goal. It was June 17, 1911. That day, Collector Ashe was traveling in a train with his wife. The train reached Maniachi station. Vanchinathan was also in the same train. As soon as the train stopped, he went to the special coach where Ashe was sitting. Without any fear, he shot Ashe with the gun in his hand. As soon as this incident happened, Vanchinathan knew that the police would arrest him. But, he was not afraid. Thinking, "My life is for this country!", he shot himself with the same gun and died on the spot. He was only 25 years old at that time! How young he was to sacrifice his life for the country! Before Vanchinathan died, he kept a small letter in his pocket. In that letter, he wrote: "I offer my life as a small gift to my motherland. I alone am responsible for this deed I have done." The letter further reads: "The white men from England are trying to invade our India and destroy our Sanatan Dharma. Every Indian should drive these white men out. We should bring independence to our country. Sanatan Dharma should be re-established. In this holy land, once ruled by great kings like Shri Ram, Shri Krishna and Chhatrapati Shivaji, they are trying to crown a man named George V, who eats beef. In our Hindu culture, cows are worshipped as mothers and are very sacred to them. It is an insult to our religion to crown such a man who eats beef in our country. Three thousand people have vowed to kill George V as soon as he sets foot in our country. Everyone in Hindustan should consider this their duty. I have done this to say that all those who want to enslave this great land will be doomed. Vande Mataram!" In memory of this great sacrifice made by Vanchinathan, the name of the Maniachchi railway station was changed to Vanchinathan. Attempts to distort history and our responsibility Children, our great patriots like Vanchinathan risked their lives to bring about independence. But recently, some people are trying to deliberately distort this history. For example, in Palayamkottai, Tamil Nadu, members of an English church paid floral tributes to the grave of British Collector Ashe. They are wrongly saying that Ashe was a very good officer, that the British government did a lot of good for our country, and that people like Vanchinathan are racists. The important thing we need to know is that some of those who are making such wrong statements are converts. Converting religions creates a wrong ideology for some people that British rule is good and that India's freedom struggle is not necessary. This leads to ignoring our Sanatana Dharma and the culture of the country. They are deliberately distorting our history and belittling the sacrifices of our real heroes. This is misleading our youth. What is our responsibility? It is the responsibility of all of us to know the true history of the sacrifices made by many for the freedom of our country. The sacrifice of someone like Vanchinathan was not just the killing of a person, it was a great struggle for the freedom of India and for the protection of Sanatan Dharma. Despite such false propaganda, the sacrifices of true patriots like Vanchinathan will continue to inspire generations.
