Hindus in Hindu Rashtra (Eighth-Class Citizens and Victims of State-Sanctioned Apartheid)

Dr. Ranganathan’s book is timely.M K Gandhi placed himself as the spokesman for Hindu community, sold out Hindu rights to satisfy Muslims as way of recruiting them to his independence struggle. Islamic Ulema, long interested in re-establishing the long dead Mughal Empire, saw an opportunity to use Gandhi in their Khilafat struggle. So began the unholy alliance that disarmed and emasculated the Hindu populace while stimulated the Islamic Ummah to harden their position to bargain hard. Gandhi asked the Hindus to observe absolute nonviolence while condoned and even defended the Muslims in their violent path like he did during the Moplah massacre. His message did not create unity between Hindus and Muslims, instead, it emboldened Muslims and divided the country. During the bloodshed of partition, Gandhi went into hiding in Noakhali in East Bengal and asked Hindus to accept Islamic violence against them.By the time of independence, Hindus were emasculated. Gandhi's assassination further encouraged his coterie to create a constitution that awarded Hindus Second Class citizenship by creating a class of people as minorities and gave them more rights. . Nehru government and the judiciary got busy reforming Hindu practices all the while letting Muslims live in their medieval age. Subsequent Congress governments saw a vote bank opportunity in continuing the policy and we have now the Waqf act and the Right to Education act. Supreme Court have the audacity to deny Nupur Sharma her basic rights while showing a preference to bail Zubair the hatemonger.The author clearly presents a cremation ground has been created by the Congress for Hindus. Unless this process is stopped, all that is left for Hindus is their final cremation. I hope that this book is widely read, information distributed and discussed among the masses of Hindu community and necessary public pressure arises to take back the rights that Hindus lost. Otherwise, our children and grandchildren will either be driven out or forcibly converted to other faiths.

What a great analysis of current Indian political system which is bent upon to destroy the majority population by the method of ‘slicing the sausage’ and no one pays attention. It is great book and a must read.

This book shows the targeted degradation of Hindu rights in their own civilizational homeland, through which, as the author states, Hindus live as lower class citizens in an apartheid state. The present laws, court judgements, and liberal (Indian) media narratives demonstrate that India is anything but secular (in the western sense) in reality.Furthermore, the narrative of the western media of Modi's Hindu nationalism infringing on minority rights is entirely false given what the actual laws are. Modi and his BJP have not rectified most of these injustices so how can they can be seen as full-force working for Hindus?This book is a wake up call for Indians and NRIs to understand the sad plight of hindus in India, and that they need to take urgent political action, lest one of the most ancient and peaceful civilizations, with myriad contributions to humanity, will vanish this century.

I consider myself well read, but I was not aware of most of the things I read in this book backed with 167 footnotes of backup. I saddens and hurts me to know a majority is living in acceptance and lack of understanding of what has been taking away from them. I was surprised to find out that the WAQF is the 3rd largest land owner in India that is Bharat. This was systematically done to unnecessarily appease a few representatives, who made sure the rest were not aware off their wealth. All the appeasement just solidified the heads of these communities, they did not necessarily distribute it with their poorer brothers. Instead they used it to keep them poor and said its the Hindus that are responsible for your poor conditions. ONE LAW for all .

Loved it!

Every Indian needs to read this book, if they want India to go in the right direction! I ordered the book for dad, he is going to send it to others, including PM Modi and Amit Shah!

Oh wow. Chilling. Scary. To me the books size is very telling. Typically, you would expect that it requires a 300 or 400-page book to scare people. But this small-in-size, but giant-in-impact book accomplishes - with facts and references - what no movie, video, podcast has so far. If Hindus do not wake up now, we deserve to be wiped off. Sanatana Dharma is Eternal Law, it is not Eternal Hindus. It does not guarantee Hindus are eternal, it just guarantees that the Universal Laws are eternal. Hope we open our eyes.

Hindu temples and traditions are controlled by India’s Sickular Governments. All other religious communities enjoy freedom to practice their religion except Hindus. Thank you for articulating how Hindus are 8th class citizens in India ruled by Brown Sepoys.

I literally had tears in my eyes after completing this book.Absolutely clinical in providing the essential information about injustice targeted towards Hindus in the so called 'Hindu Rashtra'.Directs your reasearch and inquiry in the right direction by providing ample of References and saves a ton of time spent on mindless wandering around this topic.Hats off to the publisher too as the quality of pages is really good, along with being a hardcover book. Much better than Penguin's which have sub-par page quality. The font is big, making it very easy to read. Can easily be read within a day if you can bear the emotional pain felt by knowing the predicament of Hindus.

As I write this review, let me give you a glimpse of things happening closer to home. The incumbent speaker of Kerala, a prominent Muslim face of CPI(M) referred to Lord Ganapathy as a myth. If that is not enough, the “proud to be called a Christian” son of Tamil Nadu CM openly declared in a public forum that he wants to eradicate Sanatan Dharma.This is indeed very hurtful to a practising Hindu but it is far trivial when compared to the reasons that propelled Dr. Anand Ranganathan to say “Hindus are eighth-class citizens in their own country”.His book “Hindus in Hindu Rashtra” is an eye opener on the state-sanctioned apartheid that was imposed on us, that kept us subjugated, defenceless and vulnerable.This impeccably written book, crisp and compact, offers profound insights into the sufferings we endured which was otherwise impossible to comprehend by people like us- blissfully ignorant and naive!The writing style is clear and concise, easy to grasp and drives home the point effectively. My teen daughter found this book very revelatory and I am glad she could complete reading it in less than 3 days.It is a handbook that guides us and clears all confusion by cutting through the web of lies we were systematically fed with. All self respecting Hindus should read this book to know how injustice against Hindus have been perpetrated and institutionalised in ‘secular’ India, shredding the very ethos that are enshrined in our constitution.Some pages will make your blood boil. Some pages are benumbing. Some will make you question your very existence. India’s peace and social parity is a burden on Hindus alone. Even the woke messiahs in our courts don’t offer any respite from this suffering (read Chapter-6). How is this justifiable? How is this equality? When shall we be free from this misery?This book needs to be encouraged. We seek equality and nothing more. Let this book power you to ask the right questions and be fearless in your pursuit.

First of all I would like to thank Dr Anand Ranganathan for shedding light on numerous critical issues. As a reader you will navigate through mixed emotions (Sad,Fury,Shock,Fear) while reading this book.We will fall short of words to describe what a brilliant writer Dr Anand Ranganathan is! Author's powerful narration will haunt you for a long time.This book depicts how Hinduism/Hindus have been subjected to discrimination and constant injustice under the garb of Secularism and how Hindus are being reduced to a Eighth Class Citizens in their own land.He had taken 8 chapters to expose the bigotry of our system. Each chapter of this book will unfold some harsh realities.By the time you finished reading this book your So called Secular bubble will burst into a million pieces!This book will force the reader to confront the harsh reality and make the reader to ask some serious questions.State control of Hindu Temples :How govt has been controlling thousands of Hindu temples and it's properties across the length and breadth of our nation systematically regardless of who holds the reigns of power. How they are even choosing non-hindus as members of board to suppress the voice of Hindus and their belief system. How certain ppl are encroaching the lands of temples. How the temples have been suffering a huge revenue loss because of their political greediness , how State Govt's are misappropriating temple funds offered by the devotees nd how Hindus are being exploited completely.In the pacification of minorities how these shrewd politicians are being snatching away the basic rights of Hindus.The horror goes on and on....Injustice towards Kashmiri hindus :Who can forget the gruesome genocide of kashmiri Hindus/pandits. How the so called politicians, leftist (propaganda)media houses, writers, intellectuals had completely turned a blind eye to this horrific event.Kashmiri Hindus had to flee from their own land to save themselves nd their near and dear one's from the brutal persecution and forced Conversions. The survivors and their Successors are still enduring the emotional turmoil caused by the aftermath of kashmiri Hindus Massacre in the 90's .Unfortunately they are still lamenting for their Home land but government has failed to deliver justice.Waqf act of 1995 :Many of us are not aware of how dangerous this waqf act is!How this act equipped the 'Waqf board' with unparalleled power to lay claim on any property including Government properties ( BTW Waqf didn't even spare Mukesh Ambani one of the richest man on this planet by laying claim on his property. Now think about the case of ordinary citizens)Waqf can evacuate legitimate owners from their own land by claiming and recovering the property as theirs.How many of you are aware of the fact that even supreme court of India in 2019 declared that a civil court of India has no jurisdiction in their matter of a suit pertaining to a waqf property?Now we can fathom how waqf board become the third largest land owner in india after defence and railways.The RTE Act :How the government applies RTE act exclusively to Hindu owned institutions not to minority institutions. RTE act forced the hindu institutions to maintain 25% EWS but does not provide fee reimbursement on time. Management are finding it hard to run the institutions with these restrictions and are opting out of educational sector. RTE act is responsible for the closure of more than 10K Hindu Schools.The Ironic part is that RTE act is not including Hindus as minorities in states and Union territories where Hindus are actually minorities ( J&k, Meghalaya, Punjab, ladakh, Mizoram etc... )Hindus are not even allowed to teach their own children whereas every other religion had been given an exemption. RTE act enabled non-hindus to propagate their religious beliefs and Corrupt the young minds under the pretext of Schooling.RTE act is not only subtly killing Hindu institutions but also lending minority institutions a free hand to exercise proselytization and mint money from Hindus.Legislations that appease non-hindus but targets hindus :He had taken the Classic cases of Bigamy, child marriage act, ground for divorce etc to further prove his point.Judiciary that exclusively tries to reform Hinduism :How judicial system find everything that has to do it with Hinduism problematic and Constantly Oppressing Hindu's from exercising their rituals and traditions where as observing a Complete Silence when the shoe is on other foot.Celebrating those who killed and converted millions of hindus :The fact that these monsters (Aurangzeb, Bakhtiyar, babur, Francis Xavier, sikandar shah miri, Tippi sultan,khwaja moinuddin chisti etc) are still being glorified in our land says alot about what's wrong with our system and some ppl. After all this what we have been taught in our schools - a completely fabricated history.Places of worship act, 1991 :The act which need to be nullify to reclaim Kashi, Mathura and countless Hindu temples.Hindus cannot remain oblivious to what's happening around. It's high time Hindus need to wake up from the Kumbhakarna Syndrome and start raising questions against injustice and demand justice.Solidarity between hindus is the only way to protect our Hindu/Sanatana dharma and our bharat from these evil forces.Thank you Anand sir for enlightening us by your Stellar writting, your book is indeed an eye opener for people like me! You are an absolute Gem. Love and respect always keep on inspiringI would highly recommend this book to not just my fellow hindus but also to all non-hindus to examine their mental conditioning. A prominent book in these challenging times.

My take on the book evolved as I was reading it. So I have two takes to offer. I wrote the first when I just finished reading it and the second after giving it much thought over some days. Take 1:This book deserves to be bought, shared and read aloud to the powers that be. It crisply summarizes the systemic apartheid against the majority, an apartheid disguised as secularism.The book shows how the system sees Hinduism (and by inference also Hindutva) as some archaic cult to be forcefully reformed, but faith systems not native to this land are to be treated with deference and even submission. But the book is not polemic, the points are backed by hard irrefutable data that makes one uncomfortable.While this book will be bought by largely the Hindu non-left, it needs to be shared with the left across faiths and non-faith. Because at its core this is not about Hindus but about justice, rather, the utter lack of it, and everyone should know the injustice hiding in plain sight masquerading as secularism.----Take 2:This book has the potential to start a very healthy, informed debate between the right-thinking minds on either side of the political divide. Which is why every thinking and enquiring mind, Left or Non-Left, should read this.For those on the Left, this book is a crisp summary of the arguments, based on verifiable and irrefutable facts, that the other side has to offer (the Purva Paksha). In the spirit of genuine engagement, facts are presented as is. The author does present his own opinion quite liberally, but these seem to be born out of the facts stated. And the facts don’t paint a picture, the Left identifies as truth. Compromises forced on the majority is a default, as is the appeasement of the ‘minority’ (?). And it is systemic across the executive, legislature and the judiciary. I will be gifting some copies of this for sure.For the Non-Left, this book presents facts which show that the majority is basically orphaned through policy after policy of indifference, even antipathy, to its concerns across the political spectrum, including by the BJP. Things only seem to change when feet hit asphalt – like it happened in the Ram Janmbhoomi case (the Non-Left needs to think hard why such a movement was not activated for the Kashmiri Pandits). The book also arms the Non-Left with facts so they can do away with rhetoric and sloganeering.This new book by Mr. Ranganathan has data that isn’t new. That we needed a book to remind us of these facts shows that we are mostly a blind people with open eyes. Which is why this book needs to be translated to all Indian languages and also be recorded as an audiobook, preferably voiced by the author himself. It has the potential to lift the national debate away from rhetoric and whataboutery and base it on facts so uncomfortable that can make people pause and rethink their positions. There will be a better Bharat at the other side of this important debate, whenever that happens.Thank you Anand-ji.

Unfortunately, our beloved Bharat, from its independence from rules of the cruel invaders, is a religious-minoritorian state where demanding minority rights is called humanism activity and demanding Hindu rights is called hate, bigotry etc. This situation is not changed after a political party, that claims itself a Hindutva party, is on the reins of power.This book is full of hard-hitting tragic facts. Anyone can call this book communal and hate-mongering or mock it by saying, “Hindu Khatre Mein Hay”, but can’t debunk the facts this book provides. The author claimed that Hindus are eighth-class citizens in their own homeland and he gave eight reasons in eight chapters to prove his point of view.The first chapter describes about the government control of the Hindu temples that’s why Hindu temples having trouble to perform even daily Puja despite of earning money in a huge amount, forget about running charities and educational institutions. The second chapter describes about the horrifying massacre and exodus of Kashmiri Hindus and how the left wing whitewashed it. But there is a good argument. Author cleverly described how the Kashmiri separatists don’t want Hindus to live in Kashmir but desperately want Hindus to visit Kashmir as tourists. Author explains how Hindus are funding their own massacre by visiting Kashmir as tourists. The third chapter talks about the Waqf act and why it’s a deadly slow poison for the Hindus. This is a good reminder for our administration to dismantle the Waqf act and ban the Waqf board before it’s too late. The fourth chapter talks about the RTE act that dismantles every Hindu educational institution, but intentionally agrees to make minorities make their own religious institutions.The next chapters discuss about legislations appeasing non-Hindus and Judiciaries that want to intervene in the cultural life of Hindus in the name of reforms, but have no guts to reform non-Hindu religions. The case of Nupur Sharma is also mentioned here, after she mentioned a fact that is written in scripture, fanatic people from a specific faith became blood-thirsty. And when she reached the doors of the judiciary, instead of safeguarding her, they blamed her for distorting the fabric of society.The next chapter talks about celebrating the cruel anti-Hindu invaders like St. Xaviers, Aurangzeb, Moinuddin Chisti, Bakhtiyar, who massacred millions of Hindus and destroyed Indic cultural monuments. Even our Hindutva prime minister Narendra Modi celebrates St. Xaviers and Moinuddin Chisti. The last chapter talks about the places of worship act, that prevents Hindus to reclaiming their own temples except Ayodhya’s Ram Janmabhoomi temple.At last, I want to request everyone to read it and make more Hindus aware of it, that these facts reach to our governments before it’s too late. It’s a very high price to get these book by 399 rupees (I got this on Amazon by 198 rupees). So, I want to request the publishers to make it cheaper and also publish it in paperback and sponsor it on Amazon and Flipkart. This book should reach to thousands of readers. We know that the leftist books are being sold at very low prices (lower than 100 rupees) that’s why thousands of readers read them.
