Fuck what leftist told you about Tagore. They once garlanded his statue with shoes. Here is what Rabindranath argued, when pseudo secularism was almost an unwritten mandate...

He was even more direct about Islam.

Quoting him in next few tweets...

“Whenever a Muslim called upon the Muslim society, he never faced any resistance-he called in the name of one God ‘Allah-ho-Akbar’. On the other hand, when we (Hindus) call will call, ‘come on, Hindus’, who will respond?

We, the Hindus, are divided in numerous small communities, many barriers-provincialism-who will respond overcoming all these obstacles? “We suffered from many dangers, but we could never be united...

When Mohammed Ghouri brought the first blow from outside, the Hindus could not be united, even in the those days of imminent danger...

When the Muslims started to demolish the temples one after another, and to break the idols of Gods and Goddesses, the Hindus fought and died in small units, but they could not be united. It has been provided that we were killed in different ages due to out discord.

Weakness harbors sin. So, if the Muslims beat us and we, the Hindus, tolerate this without resistance-then, we will know that it is made possible only by our weakness. For the sake of ourselves and our neighbour Muslims also, we have to discard our weakness.

We can appeal to our neighbour Muslims, `Please don’t be cruel to us. No religion can be based on genocide’ – but this kind of appeal is nothing, but the weeping of the weak person.

When the low pressure is created in the air, storm comes spontaneously; nobody can stop it for sake for religion. Similarly, if weakness is cherished and be allowed to exist, torture comes automatically – nobody can stop it.

Possibly, the Hindus and the Muslims can make a fake friendship to each other for a while, but that cannot last forever. As long as you don’t purify the soil, which grows only thorny shrubs you can not expect any fruit.”

No wonder Pakis hated Tagore. Deeply. But, thanks to our jholawala leftist morons (who once HATED him), Tagore has been gradually transformed into a pseudo liberal icon...

Of course, Bankim was the lion among Bengali poets, who loved Sanskrit and tried his best to mainstream the language across India, but, Tagore was not what leftist told you.

More Tagore...

“When two-three different religions claim that only their own religions are true and all other religions are false, their religions are only ways to Heaven, conflicts can not be avoided. Thus, fundamentalism tries to abolish all other religions...

This is called Bolshevism in religion. Only the path shown by the Hinduism can relieve the world form this meanness.”

(Tagore: `Aatmaparichapa’ in his book `Parichaya’)

“The terrible situation of the country makes my mind restless and I cannot keep silent. Meaningless ritual keep the Hindus divided in hundred sects. Sop we are suffering from series of defeats. We are tired and worn-out by the fortunes by the internal external enemies...

The Muslims are united in religion and rituals. The Bengali Muslims the South Indian Muslims and even the Muslims outside India-all are united. They always stand untied in face of danger. The broken and divided Hindus will not be able to combat them...

Days are coming when the Hindus will be again humiliated by the Muslims. “You are a mother of children, one day you will die, passing the future of Hindus society on the weak shoulders of your children, but think about their future.”

I can quote few more to prove that Tagore was an out and out SANGHI in his thinking.

DON’T LET COMMIES HIJACK YOUR OWN, JUST BECAUSE IT SUITS OUR NARROW REGIONAL IDENTITIES.

That’s it. Peace.
