India's secularism is grounded in the civilizational ethos of Sanatana Dharma and emphasizes mutual respect over strict separation of state and religion. Sanatana Dharma doesn’t just preach tolerance and inclusivity; it embodies it. Unlike Western secularism, which arose from religious conflict, India’s approach fosters coexistence. India's secularism is not just political, it is civilizational.
Sita Ram Goel’s "Hindu Society Under Siege" is a compelling analysis of the historical, cultural, and ideological challenges confronting Hindu society. Shri Goel examines how residues from foreign invasions—Islamic, British, and colonial ideologies—continue to undermine Hindu unity and cultural revival. A profound exploration of India’s civilizational ethos, the book calls for Hindus to unite and reclaim their heritage.
