Why only Hindus have the right to speak on the topic of Human rights and Animal rights?
The answer to this question is the philosophy of Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism. Hindu culture is based on soul. Anyone and everyone is welcomed to practice it. Even animals are better protected in Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism because they also have the same soul.
The abrahamic culture is today the reason for today’s religious fights. Whether there is unity in abrahamic cultures is itself a figment of imagination. The world’s worst racist divides have been promoted by Abrahamic faiths. Many Hindus often complain about the lack of unity in their community.
No human community has been ever completely United in history. Nor should they be.
But when it comes to the question of existence everyone unites. That has also been seen in the Hindu community. I am going to point out some ancient examples of unity in the Hindu history. The strongest examples of unity amongst the followers were seen in the times of Chandra Gupta Maurya, Cholas, Indian Independence struggle and more recently behind Narendra Modi. In the last such instance the entire country revolted against the reign of Sonia Gandhi who was ruling India through the proxy government of Manmohan Singh.
If you analyze the conditions that led to Hindu unity, then you will see one pattern i.e emergency or survival. In all the wars against foreign invaders, Hindus became United.
The tolerance level of the Hindu community is extremely high as compared to some other faith based communities. The main reason for such tolerance level is the depth of the philosophy of Sanatana dharma. The Devatas and Devis of Sanatana Dharma ensure that every single human being’s rights are respected. Every human is divine as per Hindu culture. Even the animals are respected in Hindu culture. All Animals, birds, fishes and humans have inalienable right to live. Only Hindu culture respects that.
अत: पुम्भिर्द्विजश्रेष्ठा वर्णाश्रमविभागश: ।
स्वनुष्ठितस्य धर्मस्य संसिद्धिर्हरितोषणम् ॥ १३ ॥
Hindu history is the original ancient history of the world. The faith of Hindus is Sanatana Dharma or the eternal duty of the soul. Since the Sanatana Dharma is the ‘Svadharma’ and that itself makes it the self-responsible duty or kartavya of every living entity. Therein lies the secret of unity amongst the practitioners of Sanatana Dharma. Sanatana Dharma is very vast and it is the only culture that can unite every single soul on the face of this planet. But the problem is most Hindus do not read their own scriptures.
Their faith nowadays comes from Wikipedia which is the most anti Hindu source because it is controlled by Christian and Islamic editors.
Social media has actually reinforced this unity amongst Hindus and also reinforced attacks against Hinduism. The attacks against Hindu culture in the west and from within India have been from people from other faiths and also from Hindus who follow a foreign ideology. The leftists and communists have lost the narrative war particularly in the academic circles. The media of India which is particularly purchased by the west has opposed the natives of India without even attempting to understand the culture of India. So there are two India’s fighting for the control of narrative. One is the western media and another is their representatives in the Indian society. The real fear amongst the western propagandists guided by the church and western Islamic lobbies is the popularity of Yoga and Meditation coming from Hindu scriptures.
Their real fear is that Hindus may snatch their human rights narrative. When Hindus are United then they lose a chance to propagate their false narrative.
