‘Vishvaguru’ or ‘leader of the world’ is the much talked about topic in many Hindu circles. One of the fundamental characteristics of a Guru is being a good student. Two characteristics of a student are: Humble service to a teacher (परिपातेना) and Sincere questions to Guru with the intention of following the answer (परिप्रश्नेना). A Guru or Teacher is always a sincere student. Good student becomes a good teacher. A Guru is a teacher as well as a student. Perhaps the context in which the ‘Vishvaguru’ concept is mentioned in that India was the academic leader of the world until Islamic invaders destroyed their places of education, now, India will again become the academic leader of the whole world after Hindus claim their heritage with in the global academic community. The modern academic narrative in the world is controlled by the western academic system who want to hide the barbaric atrocities against natives committed by European colonialist powers. The overall goal being to hide white guilt. There are At Least attempts to challenge the legitimacy of European colonialism and that must be appreciated by all those who claim to speak for the rights of the natives.
Leader of the world also means leader of ethics, which India has earned through its ancient knowledge systems.
The west has stolen most of the scientific and medical advancements from India but hasn’t paid credit to those traditions of India who have produced such literature. Plagiarism has been a rampant problem with western academics. Nearly every one of their scientific theories has an origin in India. It’s remarkable to note that nearly all western discoveries have been recorded after 1814, why? Because that was the year the British military campaign in North America ended with the USA formally kicking them out. The British changed their focus of colonization to India and Africa. The first step in claiming the global academic leadership status of the ancient Indian knowledge system will be to develop a certification system that is approved by the Indian Ministry of Education. The Indian government has to notify all academic institutions across the world that if they use any part of Vedas, it has to be approved by the Indian government. This accrediting system will bring revenue while ensuring the proper use of the knowledge that has originated in India.
India has to ensure that proper research and documentation is launched to correct the propaganda on western encyclopedias like Wikipedia who are known to peddle the colonial & politicized narratives.
By forcing a culture of research on the Indian academicians, the Indian education ministry will also encourage genuine researchers. The credits for original research and rewards for innovation will also spur economic revival in the whole world. The world today is suffering from ‘mythology’ as propagated by western apologists disguised as academics. The word mythology was purposely coined to protect the church’s misinformation campaigns against the natives of every land where Christians were sent to colonize. Any information that would undermine the church narrative was deemed mythology. This was also done to morally support the military campaigns of the church. The new left of the west protects the rights of natives of the western world. But in India the same left protects the rights of the invaders. The Indian education ministry must institute a reward based research culture which should comment on the global history from the perspective of ‘truth & justice’ or ‘dharma’.
Indian Rishis and Munis maintained a culture of research and development , which was lost in India through Islamic invasions and also Christian colonialism.
Indian foreign missions must become assertive in commenting on the flaws of western decision making and also flaws in the western academic systems & polity. The challenge to common sense comes from Western academic institutions. For so many centuries due to colonialism , they enjoyed unrestricted access and power to influence the developing countries. They had managed to create an aura of invincibility especially in academic space through forced curricula. If an Indian would like to study in the west, they had to comply with the Western version of history. Indian universities must start producing rankings of various American or European universities, to guide their citizens when they choose their colleges. Normally, India should ban any foreigner who is visiting India to teach English. Most English teachers visit India for the purpose of conversion.
Language has always been the symbol of colonialism. Europeans have been known to force their language on conquered people. India must start language courses on Indian languages through foreign missions, and military installations.
When an Indian claims that they have never attacked anyone else, they are factually incorrect. Partially, that is the reason also that they have been enslaved by Muslims and Christians. Cholas ruled South east Asia, Maharaja Ranjit Singh ruled Pakistan & Afghanistan, Chandra Gupta ruled from Greece to Cambodia and many other examples are there. Unless foreign countries know that India can use their military power or diplomatic assertiveness, they will continue to ignore India. According to Dharma, India must remove their enemies from root through various ways covertly or overtly. Then the ‘vishvaguru’ aspirations of India will be fulfilled.
The reactive diplomacy and peaceful military are construed as weaknesses by the international community and as a matter of rule, the country that follows such a philosophy breaks apart.
Four things are needed, for India to be recognized as a Vishvaguru or Global Leader
- Claim the intellectual property of ancient Vedic knowledge systems
- Enforce a certification system for all foreign academic institutions & media houses
- Build a high quality research ecosystem
- Use military & diplomacy to ensure decisive victory over enemies
Dharma is assertive, decisive, transparent, truthful, justice, morality, strength, enlightening, scientific, virtuous, educative, righteous and always victorious. Protecting dharma is the principal duty of every human.
