Muslims are our enemy but we shouldn't refrain from learning from our enemy & upgrading.

Many people point out that we should learn things like unity & ruthlessness from them but I'd like to point out that we should learn how to propagate our religion in a secular environment.

One should closely study the history of Islam in 19th century India. It was the time when India was no longer under Islam. The Muslim intellectuals of that time like Syed Ahmed Khan devised new ways to spread Islam, those same techniques are still used by Muslims in India.

+
Before 19th century, most conversions to Islam were due to brute force, & only in some cases like tribals in Bangladesh & West Punjab was it under the influence of Sufis & even Sufis devised their powers from the imperial centres. But in 20th century, the sword wing was gone.

Muslims couldn't force Hindus to convert. They weren't that powerful anymore. So they started institutionalsing Islam. The role of Aligarh Muslim university is important. It produced many Muslim intellectuals which did huge work for Pakistan, Urdu & pan-Islamism.

+
It is not that Hindus didn't do all of this,in the closing years of 19th century, Hindus had organizations like Arya Samaj in Punjab, the Nagri Pracharini Sabha in UP, numerous small-medium Hindu organisations in Bengal, numerous Gaurakshini Sabhas in Hindi belt.

+
By 1930, we had RSS, the Banaras Hindu University,the Hindu Mahasabha,the Geeta Press & had leaders like Savarkar.

So where is the difference, how did Muslims get Pakistan, an Islamic state and Hindus got a secular Indian state which is apartheid against the Hindus ?

+
The answer might lie in the overall response of the Hindu society.
For a Savarkar,Malviya & Bharatendu that we produced,we also produced a Gandhi,Bose & Ambedkar. Did Muslims produce a genuine moderate leader who could counter Jinnah ?

We didn't have much radical leaders.

+
Gandhi let Muslims freely slaughter our men & violate our women. Yet when he was killed by a proud Hindu, shameless Hindus flocked to his funeral in thousands. What does this show about us ? Savarkar who gave his entire life for Hindus got forgotten & his name blacklisted.

+
In the 21st century, the fight is hidden, it is not openly violent, it is more institutional & legal. The state power is supreme, even during peak Mughal rule, Hindus could reconvert Muslim women. In secular state, you need to fight the state as well to just build a temple.

+
Hindus have to cope with democracy, how come in a system where majority rules,even after being 80% of population, the laws still favour 20% of the population ?

Just imagine what will Hindus achieve if we get WIT (willpower, ideology, tribalism). Do Hindus have that caliber ?

+
Can we still turn around the civilizational game in our favour ? Reclamation of the Ram janmabhoomi is a good sign that we still can be the victors.
