Unveiling the Dharmic Core of India: A Look at R. Jagannathan's "Dharmic Nation"

In a world teetering between righteousness (dharma) and chaos (adharma), R. Jagannathan's "Dharmic Nation" delves into the essence of India's unique identity. The book argues that India's soul lies in its dharmic character, nurtured by Hinduism and its offshoots – Sikhism, Buddhism, and Jainism. These homegrown religions, along with countless tribal and regional traditions, have co-existed and even debated each other, fostering a remarkable "unity in diversity."

However, Jagannathan warns of looming threats. Despite boasting over a billion Hindus, India faces adversaries both external and internal. He identifies those seeking to dismantle this ancient civilization, fueled by ideologies like secularism, Islamism, and what the author terms "wokeism."

India's rich 5,000-year heritage, embodied in the concept of Bharat, faces unprecedented challenges in the 21st century. Forces hostile to its dharmic foundation aim to dismantle it entirely. The book sheds light on how Western academia and Indian liberals, including certain judicial and bureaucratic factions, exploit internal divisions to propagate "woke" ideas critical of Hinduism.

Jagannathan further exposes attempts to create a rift between Hinduism and Hindutva. He warns against efforts to sow discord among Hindus residing in India and those abroad.

"Dharmic Nation" serves as a clarion call to Hindus. It urges them to rediscover the core dharmic heritage of Bharat and unite in defense of this righteous order. The book proposes a partial revival of Hinduism's missionary spirit, encouraging Indian Muslims and Christians to embrace a more dharmic way of life. Jagannathan emphasizes that India's resurgence hinges on reclaiming its dharmic essence.
