An issue first highlighted in 1980.

- Assam students’ agitation-1980 –85
“Save Assam to Save India”.
- Rajiv Gandhi-AASU Accord:14-08-1985.
- AGP formed; captured power
- But the issue was not addressed.

Bangladeshis are in India.

population- which only helps to create
another Pakistan or Bangladesh out of
India.
• Idea/cry of Greater Bangladesh.
 Growth of

What will be youths proportion
in 2021?
History says :
As and when Hindu population decreased and
became minority in border areas that
geographical part is cecesed Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Bangladesh
New districts created Mallapuram ; Quad-e-
Milat
Islamic corridor
From Bangladesh to Pakistan through Assam, Bengal,
Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Haryana – green
belt ?
New districts and Urdu as second official language in
states.
Demographic Imbalance
Is a threat to national security, sovereigntly & intgrity.
 Affects culture, life style, industry
 Captures natural resources, jobs.
 Hampers india’s role at the global level for world peace
& brotherhood
Infiltratiion, Muslim fertility rate and conversion are
responsible. Unless these factors are not checked India has
no future as a nation.
SOCIAL DISUNITY

Division in Hindu Society

a. Caste system;Caste –conflict/hatred.
b. Untouchability ;Dalit factor
Although Hindus believe in & preach great
philosophy of Advaita, Bramha, spiritual oneness
etc.,they treat humans on different levels ;
hierarchy ; low-high.
A stigma ; a sin
Efforts till now:

Works of teachings of
-Social Reformers
-Great teachers/Acharyas
-Political instruments(constitution, law)

Yet Hindu Society is a divided family.

Today Hindu society is a broken mirror.
United Hindus are the guarantee for nation’s
development & security, unity & integrity.

Poor dalits:
-treated as vote banks.
-no status even in society
-potential section – for religious conversion
-for Naxalite inroads
-for social disintegration
 The Pseudo-Secularists

•A class of politicians, intellectuals, writers, media

persons is created during British Regime which –
 denigrates anything India/Hindu;
 looks always towards west for any inspiration,
intellect, information;
 has perverted, distorted approach to Bharat’s history,
society, culture and achievements.
 This class is dis-”oriented” in everything
Thus the challenge is before
India’s

• Sovereignty
• Security
• Unity
• Identity
The Challenge is to the idea and identity of
Bharat.

What Youth can do?

 Create awareness
 Fight pseudo – secularism and minority -
appeasement
 A Nation wide campaign –
 Wanted Intellectual Soldiers !
