He had the Bodtha and similar Hind sages in mind when he wrote the following famous lines ‘he bast bowed low before the blast In patient dzep disdain; She let the legions thunder past, ‘And plunged in thought agai. tte did the poet saspect that his tribute to linda spiritual ity would be twisted to embellish an imperialist version of Indian history aceotding to which the “meek Hindu” had always been preoccupied with sterile speculations, and seldom stood up im defence of his country and culere PERVERSE VERSION OF INDIAN HISTORY ‘This version of Indian history was tormulated by 2 few misinfarmed or motivated Biitsh historians. But many indus participated in populurising this version in the mistsken belief that they were thus proving the superiority of India's “spiritual culture” over the materialisue cnlization ofthe modem West. In ‘duc course, this became the standard lore taught in our sclooks 1s uader the system of education sponsored by Chris Cian missionaries and British bureaucrats. The same system of education has not only continued alter independence but has also multiplied manyfold. It has spread this version af Indian history to larger and kirger segments vf succeeding generations. Muslim and Marist “historians” have promoted it with an ever increas- ing zeal, They may not have any use for Hindu spirituality. But they find this version of fdian history very convenient for ad- vvancing their imperialist causes. In the process Indias history has become history of for sign invaders -— Aryans, Inns, Greeks, Parthians, Seythians, Kushans, Arabs, Turks, Persians, Portuguese, Doteh, French, and Tbrsh — rather than a history of the greatest civilization which he world has known, and later on of Hinds beroise which Fought and ubiatelyiruswated all foreign invaders. tndia itself fas become a sub-continent seething with a mass of hetecoe- fous humanity rather than an ancient and indivisible Hinde howneland. nian people have become co Lionas, racial groups and religious comumunities wbic are finding difficuk to co-exist in peace, rather than national society which is trying ta reform itself and reclaim seme of is fortunate sections aliented from it by successive waves of 'slamis, Christian and inndern Western imperialism, And Indian culture has become a mechanical mixture of odds and ends, in Aigenous and imported, rather than a homogeneous while cre ‘Hed by a vast spiritual vision which is finding. itself ill ut ease ‘ith incompatible inpositions Ut was this version of Indias history which gave a good onsclence to the British imperialist while he pulverised Hind ciety, plundered Hindu wealth aud poured undisguised com tempt on Hinds cule. It was this version of India's history ‘lich enusculaed Hindu society and ennbaldened the residues 0 Batic imperialist to stage sweet vits and then walle assay with presious pans of the Hindu homeland, thus consolidating in agetession which had not succeded even though mounted ‘gain and again for mote than a thousand years. Iti this version of Tndia's history which is being invoked by the fith-columns of ‘Slam, Christianity, and Communism, each of which looks for ‘ward to a final conguest of this country with the help of foreign finances and, if need be, foreign firearms. Aud itis this version Of India’s history which is being promoted by power hungry politicians who soo the Muslim vote-bark while they divwle Hindu society into mutaly hostile camps.
