“Savarkar’s Warning Echoes Today: The Clash of Civilizations Cannot Be Denied”
“Hinduism is not just a religion. It is a cultural identity. And if that identity is threatened, self-defense is not only a right, it is a dharma.” – Veer Savarkar
India today finds itself at a crossroads—a civilizational struggle that is neither new nor surprising to those who truly understand the vision of Swatantryaveer Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. His words, speeches, and foresight about the irreconcilable conflict between two fundamentally different civilizational values—Bharatiya (Hindu) and Islamic—are being validated yet again.
Asim Munir’s Echo of History
When Pakistan’s current Army Chief, General Asim Munir, boldly declared that Hindus and Muslims are fundamentally different—in thought, food, worship, culture, and values—he was not inventing something new. He was simply reiterating what Veer Savarkar prophetically highlighted in the early 20th century: that the idea of Hindutva and Islamic expansionism cannot coexist without conflict.
While Indian mainstream media rushed to dismiss Munir’s statement, brushing it off in the name of secular unity, the truth remains unaltered: Partition happened not because of Jinnah, but because of this civilizational incompatibility.
“There are nations within this nation which do not want to merge but rather to dominate. To ignore this is to invite disaster.” – Veer Savarkar
Jinnah Was Merely a Tool of Political Islam
It’s correctly identified Jinnah not as a mastermind, but a pawn of a larger theological strategy. Jinnah’s initial opposition to the Khilafat Movement—which was unreasonably supported by Nehru and Gandhi—was replaced with a strategic alignment with political Islam once he realized that power lay in being a representative of a religious identity.
This was the very danger Savarkar warned of: Pan-Islamism using India as a battleground for ideological conquest.
A Genocide Forgotten, A Nation Gaslighted
From the bricking alive of Guru Gobind Singh’s sons, to the slaughter of 4,000 innocents in Chittor, to countless waves of Jihad-driven invasions, the history of Hindu bloodshed has been sanitized or suppressed in textbooks and public discourse.
Savarkar did not forget. He recorded the blood-soaked history of Hindu resistance, not with hatred but with the fire of self-preservation and honor.
“We are not aggressors, we are defenders of our motherland. When millions of Hindus are butchered and temples are razed, to remain silent is a sin.”
India Is Not a Shared Throne—It Is a Hindu Rashtra
The romanticized idea that Hindus and Muslims are the ‘two eyes of Bharat Mata’ is not only a distortion of historical reality but a suicidal myth. it’s rightly quoted the founder of Aligarh University who declared that India is a throne to be claimed by one side, not a garden for peaceful coexistence.
Savarkar, too, was clear:
“Those who refuse to respect the land, the culture, and the ancestors of this nation, cannot claim equal partnership in its future.”
Islamist Supremacism Cannot Be Tamed by Economics
The fallacy of buying peace in Kashmir through development and subsidies is yet another utopian delusion. The ideology behind slogans like “Azadi” and “La ilaha illallah” is not seeking better roads or mobile towers—it seeks a Sharia-ruled land where only Allah is worshipped and the non-believer is purged.
Just as Zia-ul-Haq warned Pakistanis that without Islam, they would revert to being Hindus, today’s Islamists warn that coexistence with kafirs is not an option—only Jihad is.
A Call to Dharma: Cultural War Is Real
What the speaker terms a “clash of civilizations” is not just theoretical. It is real, present, and in motion. Drawing on Samuel Huntington’s famous thesis, the speaker concludes—rightly—that only one ideology can prevail, and the other must either surrender or be annihilated.
Savarkar was among the first to introduce the idea of Hindutva not as religion, but as a national identity and unifying force—a bulwark against ideological subversion and conquest.
Savarkar’s Slogans and Speeches That Must Be Revived
Let us not forget the immortal slogans and calls from Savarkar:
- “Hinduize politics and militarize Hindudom!”
- “The sword of revolution is sharpened on the whetting stone of ideas.”
- “Our Motherland is not just a piece of land, it is our divine mother.”
These words were not poetic exaggerations—they were warnings, strategies, and truths written in the fire of experience.
Conclusion: A Nation Must Choose
The question posed by the speaker is uncomfortable but essential:
Will Hindus stand up, or will they continue to be gaslighted into cultural suicide?
Savarkar had an answer: “Self-respect and security can never be gifted. They must be asserted.”
“In this cultural war, neutrality is betrayal. If we wish to exist as Hindus, we must first think like Savarkar.”
