This question—searing, uncomfortable, and long overdue—needs an answer.
In a nation where more than 80% of the population is Hindu, why is the Hindu still fleeing for safety during celebrations? Why are temples in need of police escorts? Why are Hindu lives expendable in their own country—Bharat, the birthplace of Sanatan Dharma*?
This is not paranoia. This is not propaganda. This is history. This is our reality.
From the brutal beheading of Guru Tegh Bahadur for defending Hindus against forced conversions, to the destruction of thousands of temples and lives during Islamic conquests, to the mass displacement of Hindus during Partition—the persecution of Hindus is not a myth. It’s a documented, blood-soaked fact. And it hasn’t ceased.
Now, in the name of secularism, we see a new type of injustice. One that rewards the Hindu for simply being.
Post-Independence Secularism: A Betrayal in Disguise
When Bharat became independent of colonial rule in 1947, one would have expected that the long history of oppression would cease. But what happened was a betrayal.
Rather than curing Hindu hurts, the successive governments pursued a perverted form of secularism. One that addressed the majority as a threat. One that went out of its way to indulge minorities by overstepping Hindu rights.
Muslims and Christians were allowed to administer their religious establishments. . Churches and mosques flourished with complete autonomy. But Hindu temples? They were taken over by state governments. Their donations were diverted ,till today . Their traditions were disrupted by political interference.
This is not secularism. This is state-sponsored discrimination.
And while Hindu temples are besieged by the government, Hindu pilgrims must endure terrorist attacks and military security to reach holy places such as Amarnath or Vaishno Devi. Ask yourself—why do the devotees of peace have to travel in fear in their ancestors’ homeland?
West Bengal: Where the Hindu Bleeds in Silence
Nowhere is this injustice more evident than was in Kashmir and now in West Bengal—a state where Hindus are no longer secure during their own festivals. From the torching of Ram Navami processions to the targeting of Hanuman Jayanti celebrations, the trend is agonizingly familiar.
Stones are thrown, houses are burnt, communities are intimidated—and yet, the media looks away. Political leaders remain silent or worse, blame the victims. The message is ominous: if you’re Hindu, you’re on your own.
In regions where Muslims constitute a significant portion of the population, Hindus are increasingly being driven out. Villages become ghettos, and the state remains a mute spectator. No police protection. No justice. No outrage.
This isn’t secular democracy. This is abandonment.
And many Hindus expected the BJP to be a haven of hope—a party that would at last keep Hindu interests squarely in the focus. And, yes, there were considerable gains too : the Ram Mandir ruling, the elimination of Article 370.
But has the party actually won the Hindu cause? Have temples been liberated? Has there been a robust national policy to safeguard Hindus from demographic aggression, illegal penetration, and religiously inspired violence?
Sadly, the answer is no.
Even a decade in power, BJP appears hobbled by the same fear of being labeled “communal”. As such, it dances a tightrope—just enough to keep its Hindu core believing, but not enough to trigger actual, structural transformation .This creates a perilous vacuum.
And now that vacuum needs to be filled—with guts, honesty, and conviction. Time for a Hindu-Only Political Party?
Let’s call a spade a spade: if all other caste and religious communities can enjoy political voice—why can’t Hindus?
Why should Hindus go on voting for parties that forget them only until polls? Why should the majority go on remaining leaderless in the nation they created, bled for, and sacrificed for?
It’s time to break away from compromise. Time to break away boldly.
India requires a Hindu political party—uncompromised, unflinching, and unapologetic. A party of the Hindus, by the Hindus, and for the Hindus.
This is not about hate. This is about survival . This is about dignity. This is about justice.
This party must:
Free Hindu Temples from state control and make them holy again.
Save Hindu Pilgrims from harm and threat. Enact Equal Civil Laws for all citizens—no more double standards.
Resist Demographic Invasion , particularly in border and sensitive states.
Guarantee Hindu Safety in minority-dominated regions where they are intimidated daily.
Restore Hindu Education and Culture , unapologetically advancing dharmic values in public life. Secularism Cannot Survive Without Hindu Strength
Those who wail that such a party will “divide” India need a history lesson. India was divided in 1947 on religious lines. And Hindus did not ask for that. Actually, Hindus decided to remain behind and coexist with everybody in this country. But their kindness is being misunderstood as softness.
Let us be very honest: secularism sans Hindu security is a sham. You cannot hope for the majority to maintain peace when they are being rewarded for their patience.
If the state fails to safeguard Hindus, then Hindus have to safeguard themselves—democratically, legally, and politically.
Last Thoughts: Bharat Needs a Hindu Political Awakening .This is not a political requirement. It is a call of civilisation.
We are sons and daughters of Rishis, not refugees. We are progeny of dharma, not silence. And if we do not wake up now, when?
A Hindu political party is no longer a marginal concept. It is the need of the hour. A movement that can bring Hindus together—not against anyone—but for themselves. For their temples, their traditions, their children, and their future.
And to those who say this is “communal”, we say: yes, it is. Because community matters. And the Hindu community deserves a voice that does not tremble.
This is our land. This is our time. And this has to be our voice.
