Indias centripetal forces economic growth, corporate and

infrastructure development, and a national democratic
government, bring the country together. Indias resilience is partly
due to civilizations strength of accommodation and e!ibility,
reservations etc.

4bservations&
Indias centripetal forces becoming wea#, which need to be
strengthened.
"here is synergy among the three agencies scholars,
missionaries and the western govts. %e should try to build
such synergy.
%e are facing an une9ual war.
0t present, the scholars are innocent and subject to
manipulation, peethams are innocent and bac#ward loo#ing,
and the govt is negative, not even neutral.
0 lot of networ#ing of "elugu and 6ans#rit scholars, purohits,
archa#as in the govt and private temples, etc. to be done.
6ensitize the peethadhipatis.
Motivate peethams to play active role in reducing internal
faultlines.
6ensitization of the political personalities on demographic
change, e!amples of other countries where internal
struggles were fomented by the west, institutions wor#ing
against India, etc.
0ppealing to the Indian intellectuals to agitate in India but
not before western organizations and not to re9uest for
western intervention.
0ppeal to the left wing groups and their front organizations
not to ally with the right wing of the %est and also to be
e9ual to all religions. "hey should be really secular. "hey
should not be critical against one religion and #eep silent on
others.
Ma#e it clear that we are not fundamentalists, but that we
are Aghting for survival.
0dopt Jandhian methods in all prgrammes.
)redible nationalist Indian =ews agency has to develop to
have a neutral assessment of world developments. Indian
intellectual debate is dominated by the western media.
'essimistic scenario, or a situation of collapse, is built up,
whether economical or cultural.
Intellectual colonialism continues. Intellectuals are shy of
thin#ing on nationalist lines.
8istory would show that the country will remain united only
if 8induism is preserved.
Ma#e it clear that ours is the only religion in the world that
says that all religions are e9ual.
If the above three groups do not realize the evangelical war
it is to their own peril.
