Infiltration from Bangladesh. An issue first highlighted in 1980. - Assam students’ agitation-1980 –85 “Save Assam to Save India”. - Rajiv Gandhi-AASU Accord:14-08-1985. - AGP formed; captured power - But the issue was not addressed. Foreigners continued to infiltrate into India.

A serious threat to National security/sovereignty • Pakistan & Bangladesh-hatred towards India. • Appro. Rs. 9000 crores spent annually on infiltrators. • Adding to the strength of Muslim population- which only helps to create another Pakistan or Bangladesh out of India. • Idea/cry of Greater Bangladesh.

Demographic Imbalance Is a threat to national security, sovereigntly & intgrity.  Affects culture, life style, industry  Captures natural resources, jobs.  Hampers india’s role at the global level for world peace & brotherhood Infiltratiion, Muslim fertility rate and conversion are responsible. Unless these factors are not checked India has no future as a nation.

SOCIAL DISUNITY Division in Hindu Society a. Caste system;Caste –conflict/hatred. b. Untouchability ;Dalit factor Although Hindus believe in & preach great philosophy of Advaita, Bramha, spiritual oneness etc.,they treat humans on different levels ; hierarchy ; low-high. A stigma ; a sin

Efforts till now: Works of teachings of -Social Reformers -Great teachers/Acharyas -Political instruments(constitution, law) Yet Hindu Society is a divided family.

Today Hindu society is a broken mirror. United Hindus are the guarantee for nation’s development & security, unity & integrity. Poor dalits: -treated as vote banks. -no status even in society -potential section – for religious conversion -for Naxalite inroads -for social disintegration

The Pseudo-Secularists •A class of politicians, intellectuals, writers, media persons is created during British Regime which –  denigrates anything India/Hindu;  looks always towards west for any inspiration, intellect, information;  has perverted, distorted approach to Bharat’s history, society, culture and achievements.  This class is dis-”oriented” in everything

Thus the challenge is before India’s • • • •

Sovereignty Security Unity Identity

The Challenge is to the idea and identity of Bharat.

What Youth can do?  Create awareness  Fight pseudo – secularism and minority appeasement  A Nation wide campaign –  Wanted Intellectual Soldiers !
