JAI BHARAT! or JAI HIND! ?
JAI BHARAT! or JAI HIND! ?
It’s said that old habits don’t go away easily but it’s possible to change old habits into new better habits with conscious efforts!
‘Jai Hind!’ was the popular slogan used during the Indian Independence movement culminating to the independence of India in 1947 with the bloody partition of India and Pakistan!
Please mind here that India [Bharat] was never officially called ‘Hindustan’ nor this pseudo name ‘Hindustan’ is found in any old scriptures of Indian origin but yes the word ‘Bharat’ for ‘India’ is found in all those most authentic scriptures of India viz the Vedas, Bhagavatam, Gita, Mahabharata stories etc proving without doubt that the original name of India was indeed ‘BHARAT’!
Origin of the word ‘Hind’ & ‘Hindustan’ is of Arabic/Persian language as per Wikipedia!
Then, why Indians are so obsessed with is word of Arabic/Persian origin rather than using the original name of India as BHARAT? Are Indians still in the Slavery Mindset to the Muslim Rulers of the past?
Why this pseudo name ‘Hindustan’ is fervently used by the Political Leaders and in Bollywood movies; is for them just to manipulate the emotions of the majority population of Hindus to gain votes and for their movie promotions; nothing else!
Since many centuries, Bharat had been the land of diversity where people of different races, religions, origins, castes, creeds, tribes lived together!
Although, majority of the people in Bharat follow Hinduism; Bharat was never a Hindu Country but a secular country of all religious followers!
If India was a Hindu country then, by the time of partition in 1947 itself, India [Bharat] should have adopted the name of ‘Hindustan’ instead of the globally recognised name as ‘India’ i.e. ‘Bharat’!
It’s obvious that ‘Hindustan’ means ‘Land of Hindus’! This ‘meaning’ for India [Bharat] is obviously wrong because it’s a country of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Bahais, various Spiritual Communities etc and so calling India [Bharat] as a 'Land of Hindus' is simply wrong!
Let us analyse this old popular slogan ‘Jai Hind’! What is ‘Hind’? ‘Hind’ obviously means Hindus/Hindustan, nothing else! So, this slogan is not for all the people of India [Bharat]! Then, how can this slogan ‘Jai Hind’ meaning ‘Victory to Hindus/Hindustan’ excluding all other people in the country; be used for the Victory of India [Bharat] as a whole?
Words have power & related effects and thus the pseudo names have the negative power & wrong impacts!
The more these pseudo & misleading names of ‘Hind’ & ‘Hindustan’ are erroneously used to represent all the people of India [Bharat], the more problems will continue happening in India [Bharat] as being seen currently in the country!
So, it’s high time that all the people in India especially the Political Leaders, Social Leaders, Bollywood etc; stop using the word ‘Hindustan’ and stop glorifying the slogan ‘Jai Hind!’; instead use ‘BHARAT’ and ‘JAI BHARAT!’
These positive & meaningful changes will bring the UNINITY IN DIVERSITY IN BHARAT [INDIA] and make BHARAT [INDIA] a great country indeed where all people live together in love, unity, peace, progress, prosperity & happiness for all!
JAI BHARAT!
