Yuva Bharati – March 2018

22 / March 2018 / Yuva Bharati

Another reason: “...Even the fanatic fringe

of communists have come to realize that

the fight against Hindu religion is counter-

productive and hence seem to have given it

up. For Hindu communists, Vivekananda

has a special appeal because he combines

in himself a proletarian approach with the

ambience of the Hindu religious ethos.

There is a growing realization among

them that Vivekananda perhaps offers the

best bet to bridge the gulf between the

Marxist and nationalist thought currents.

This helps reduce their inner tension and

appeals to the deeper part of their psyche.

That is why they often project Swamiji

as an acceptable socialist, although the

dogmatic among them would qualify him

as a bourgeois socialist.”

Man. Parameswaranji’s keen insight

into history, his patriotic feelings and

nationalistic outlook together entitles this

work, Heartbeats of Hindu Nation, to a

place of unique distinction. One should

have no scruples in recommending this

book of knowledge, nay, book of

wisdom, the work of an inspired mind,

to the libraries of all schools, colleges and

universities across the country.

This nonagenarian, Man. Parameswaranji,

was conferred the Padma Vibhushan in

recognition of his meritorious service to

the country in various capacities, on the

memorable occasion of the Republic Day

of India in January 2018. “Tapas should

continue”, he says. Obviously, that has

been his spirit, his guiding light. Hearty

Salutations.
