The Sensible Arya

If there were no heaven waiting to reward you, no hell waiting to punish you, and no karmic ledger quietly tallying your account across lifetimes — would you still choose to be good? It's a question that sounds almost like a trap, designed to expose people whose kindness was never really kindness at all, only long-term self-interest wearing a patient face. But sit with it honestly, without trying to win the question, and something more interesting emerges: most people, asked directly, insist they would still help a drowning stranger, still tell the truth when a lie would be easier, still refuse to betray someone who trusted them — not because a cosmic accountant is watching, but because the alternative feels like a betrayal of something in themselves that has nothing to do with reward or punishment at all. This essay is built around a claim that deserves to be stated plainly at the outset, not smuggled in through the back door: the strongest, most durable foundation for morality is...

The Government: Beginning and Purpose The Governed City: A Classic Painting If human beings are born free, why do we spend our entire lives obeying institutions we never personally agreed to join? We pay taxes to a government we may not have voted for. We follow laws written by people we've never met, enforced by officers we didn't select. We accept, mostly without daily protest, that a distant authority can compel us to drive on a particular side of the road, serve in an army, or hand over a share of our income for purposes we might not fully endorse. Framed starkly, this looks like an enormous, almost inexplicable act of collective submission. And yet most people, most of the time, don't experience it that way at all — they experience government less as a cage and more as scaffolding, something that makes the rest of life possible rather than something imposed on top of it. That gap between how governmental authority looks in the abstract and how it actually functions...

In this article, we shall analyze Christianism in detail. It was the first to make itself felt forcefully at the onset of the British rule in India, We, however, wish to make it clear at the very outset that Christianism in India does not refer to the Christians in this country. They are our own people who at a certain stage of our history went over to a foreign faith in an atmosphere created and exploited by Christianism . But although they have renounced their ancestral faith, they have, by and large, not shown any marked hostility towards Hindu society and culture. Nor have they so far served as vehicles of Christianism except in certain areas of the Northeast, notably Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Nagaland.  The Commandments of  Christianism: The Banner of Goan Inquisition Christianism in India is centered in the numerous Christian missions operating all over the country, particularly in the so-called tribal belts. The eight fundamentals of Christianism in India may be summarise...

Arab Superiority aka Arabism , the residue of the Arabian invasion of India spread over several centuries. Its basic tenets are ultimately derived from the teachings of Radical Islam which has so far succeeded in sealing itself off from every shade of empiricism, rationalism, universalism, humanism, and liberalism, the hallmarks of Hindu as well as modern Western culture.  But in the context of India where Radical Islam failed in its mission of lasting conquest and total conversion, these tenets have acquired a singularly sinister and subversive character. Let it be clear that the reference here is not at all to our Muslim brethren who are our own flesh and blood, except for that microscopic minority that takes pride in the purity of its Arab, Persian or Turkish descent. Instead of being the proponents of  Arabism , the Muslims of India are its victims whom it is trying to use as vehicles of its poisonous virulence. The vast majority of Indian Muslims were converted to Islam b...
