Hindus are naturally Patriotic: A Myth?

On January 01, 2021, RSS Chief Mr. Mohan Bhagwat Said while inaugurating a book to press that “If someone is Hindu, he has to be patriotic, that will be his or her basic character and nature,” the RSS leader said. “At times you may have to awaken his or her patriotism but he [Hindu] can never be anti-India.

Fact verses Myth: 

Today UP Police have reported that one former ATS (Anti Terrorist Squad) service man with name of Saurav Sharma has been arrested for spying for ISI, Pakistan.

The other media houses also reported the same. (https://www.deccanherald.com/national/north-and-central/up-anti-terror-squad-arrests-two-isi-moles-936784.html)

This kind of incidence is not new that prominent officers or office bearers are doing spying for Pakistan from upper caste hindu community. There are some other example has been listed here:

1. On February 24, 2020, The Hindu, National New Paper reports "Indian Navy sailors booked for espionage leaked vital information to Pakistan: NIA"

2. On October 09, 2018: NDTV reported that one BrahMos Missile technical scientist Nishant Agrawal arrested for data sharing with Pakistan:

3. India.com on September 1, 2019 reported that "The BJP in Madhya Pradesh has been under fire since five persons including Bajrang Dal leader Balram Singh were arrested in a terror funding case. The Anti Terror Squad of Madhya Pradesh police had arrested five persons on August 21 in Satna, Madhya Pradesh, for suspected links with a terror-funding racket managed by Pakistani operatives."

Another report:

4. On 10 February 2017, ALT News reported "BJP IT Cell man Dhruv Saxena along with 10 others arrested for helping ISI spy on Army"

5. On September 19, 2020, Hindustan Times reported "Journalist spying case: Delhi Police makes 2 more arrests, including Chinese woman: Police have registered a case under the Official Secrets Act against Rajeev Sharma and the Chinese and Nepalese nationals have been arrested under the same charges"

These are the recent example that most the people arrested by police on high positions were Hindu and precisely from swarna Hindu. 

Based on above examples which are available in public domain, the statement of Mr. Mohan Bhagwat is not true and not based on fact. He is just garnering the false nationalist emotions of the majority (Hindu) and trying to divert the attention from real issues like:

1. employment and job

2. Social security

3. Free Education and Healthcare

4. Infrastructure development. 

When Mr. Bhagwat told that Hindu are naturally patriotic, does he mean Christian, Muslims, Sikh, Jains and Buddhists are less patriotic than hindu brethren of our country? The statement of Mr. Mohan Bhagwat is unconstitutional and against the basic ethos of India where all citizens are equal in front of law and we praise or punish an Individual BUT not the religion. Religion is personal affair not the public affair.

Mr. Bhagwat should take back his statement and apologize to entire country for his divisive remarks.
