Hind Rashtra – Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam
(Maha Upanishad)
Evolution of Mankind
As per Darwin’s Theory of Evolution (Origin Of Species), the human species, is the
crowning glory amongst all creation, which is also the most intelligent. In those
ancient times, the world was ONE – on this Planet, Humanity was not divided by geographical
barriers, religion, caste, creed or culture. The present times reflect a contradictory
picture.
Hind Rashtra is conceptualized to save the Planet and Humanity from self-destruction
Hind Rashtra – The Origin
What is Hind ?
The word ‘Hind’ find its origin in the word ‘Sapta Sindh’, which in turn, finds
a mention in Rig Veda (6.6.10, 7.36.6, 10.64.8, 10.75). With Indo-Persian influences
of those times, the word Sapta-Sindh was pronounced as ‘Hapta-Hind’ which also finds
a mention in Zend Avesta (Vendidad 1.18).
Notably, the alphabet ‘Sa’ was pronounced as ‘Ha’. Variation in pronunciation has
always been a prevalent phenomenon. Even today, not surprisingly, with the kind
of flexibility in oral intonation, ‘hafta’ is a term that indicates ‘Saptah’ (meaning
‘a week’ in Hindi), This clearly, implies a bonding between ‘Sa’ and ‘Ha’; which
then come together to form the word, ‘Saha’ (which means ‘Together’). As indicated
in vedic literature, the term ‘Hind’ indicates ‘Coming together to create’. Clearly,
‘Hind’ has never implied a religion.
What is Rashtra ?
‘Rashtra’ indicates a society with unity in diversity i.e. where people with diverse
opinions, religions and culture enrich each others’ lives. Rashtra does not imply
any geographical boundaries. Hind Rashtra is concept of well being of humanity across
the globe.
India’s prominent freedom fighter and a scholar V.D. Savarkar, in one his books
(1943, A.H.L. page No. 201) expresses an interesting observation when it comes to
concept of ‘Rashtra’; Here’s what he says-
“The concept of ‘Rashtra’ shall last for 500 years…. After which it could be re-defined.
So that the ‘Planet Earth’ shall be referred to as one Rashtra, while Mars becomes
another Rashtra’’
The vision of Hind Rashtra is as expansive, with time-proof flexibility.
A verse from Upnishad very well echoes the ‘Saha’-feeling of Hind Rashtra.
Om Sahnavavatu Sahanau bhunaktu
Sahveeryam karvavahaee,
Tejaswinavadhitmastu Ma Vidvishaavahaee
Om Shanti: Shanti: Shanti:
-Taitriya, Kathopanishad,Mandakya Upnishad and
Shwetashwatara Upnishad
Meaning :
Om, May God Protect us both,
May God Nourish us both,
May we work together with Energy and vigour,
May our study be Enlightening, not giving rise to hostility,
Om, Peace, Peace, Peace be upon us all.
