भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

longed for; but if unfortunately our investigation proves barren in the end
and none of these revered works seems likely to establish its claim to the
right of being regarded as Divine revelation it is given out to be then we
must make ourselves bold to acknowledge and proclaim the truth and
expose the superstition that attributing Divine infallibility, to human
institutions, opinions and fancies however exalted, admirable and even
beneficial they be in themselves relatively to human knowledge and ability,
gave rise to so much bloodshed and misery in the past. If comparative
criticism led in the light of human reason brings us further on to assess the
true value of these revered scriptures, which when looked upon as man-
written instead of God-written, will perhaps command greater respect from
all reasonable men and could be read, interpreted and followed in a way
that will save these precious books from being abused by fanaticism and
render them not only quite harmless but even more useful and beneficial to
man than now in his search after the True and the Good and the Beautiful.
With this end in view, let us first address ourselves to the task of
reviewing the Vedas, the Holy Bible, and the Quran sharif in the searchlight
of human reason, before we pledge our allegiance to any one of them as an
inspired and infallible scripture, as God-sent Gospel.
Abhinava Hindu Dhwaja (Hindu National Flag)
The National Flag does not only indicate but also establish the
National Ideal.
A nation’s greatness invariably finds expression through its ideal. The
character of a nation depends upon the ideal that the nation sets upon itself.
Nations with narrow ideals never achieved lasting greatness in the past. A
sublime ideal has been the necessary requisite of a nation’s success to
greatness and glory.
Nations after nations illumined the pages of the world’s history only to
disappear after a while, most of them having their downfall even before
attaining the pinnacle of prosperity. The Hindu Nation alone traces its
unbroken train of civilised existence from beyond the dawn of history and
will continue its victorious march so long as its noblest ideal and its
imperishable widest outlook on life are not forsaken.
Speaking generally, the ideal of other past and living western nations has
been considered to be Abhyudaya (worldly prosperity) for worldly
enjoyment, which, being confined to mere material prosperity, cannot solve
the knottiest problems for the amelioration of mankind.
