A new Mahabharat war between secular and self- respecting Hindus in India has started in which the latter would emerge victorious, Vishwa Hindu Parishad International president Ashok Singhal said here on Saturday.

Addressing a well-attended two-day state youth conference at Tiruchi, Singhal laid the blame for various ills afflicting the country on secular Hindus, who, he said, would be happy only if the nation stood splintered.

Calling upon the self-respecting Hindu youth to identify secular Hindus, he said Indian history proved that secular Hindus were responsible for Islamic rule in India for 700 years. Prithviraj Chauhan allowing Muslim ruler Mohammed Ghori to return after 16 of the latter's misadventures, paid for it with his life after Ghori's victory, Singhal added.

Referring to the partition and the birth of Bangladesh, Singhal said this was made possible by secular Hindus/politicians resulting in the death of 10 lakh Hindus. When Bangladesh was born, Hindus of that country returned to India leaving behind everything.

Though secular Hindus felt the nation would be happy after independence, it was found that Kashmiris were refugees in their own land while more than 65,000 were killed in that State, Singhal said.

Referring to infiltration from Bangladesh, Singhal lamented that officials were not aware of the exact figures of this problem. The infiltration of nearly five crore Bangladeshis with the aim of destabilising India added to the problem, he added.

The VHP leader lamented that 100 crore Hindus globally were unable to prevent the slaughter of 50,000 cows daily though the Hindu scriptures considered the cow to be a `mobile temple'. This was because States like Arunachal Pradesh and Orissa had failed to implement laws banning cow slaughter, as secular politicians were pandering to the tastes of Muslim voters.

Referring to his pet theme about the Ram temple at Ayodhya, Singhal said Hindus were asking for the return of Kasi, Ayodhya and Mathura temples because Muslims had destroyed more than 30,000 temples and converted 3,000 more temples into mosques.

On the rise of Islamic `Jehad', the attack on Parliament and Hindu teples, he said this was possible because of the support extended by secular Hindus, who, in the `ensuing war,' would be defeated by self-respecting Hindus.

Lauding Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa for enacting the Anti-Conversion Act, Singhal regretted that similar laws were not implemented in other States, as this would ensure that not one Hindu was converted to Christianity.

He further added that the `swadeshi' envisioned by Gandhiji had given way to globalisation and liberalisation, which led to rise of multi-nationals thereby affecting employment for local youth.

Earlier, conference committee president R R Gopalji suggested the creation of creches in rural areas to enable working village women to leave their children there. He also suggested that youth form groups in villages to ensure that the benefits of welfare schemes reached the genuine target groups.

Among those present were VHP vice-president R V B S Manian, Srimad Andavan Sri Rangaramanuja Mahadesikan, Kanchi mutt head Sri Jayendra Saraswathi Swamigal and All- India general secretary Praveen Togadia. State joint general secretary S Gopalratnam welcomed the gathering.
