🛕 Introduction: When Symbolism Challenges Civilizational Roots
In a nation that reveres Ramayana, chants Gita, and breathes Vedas, the symbols we choose matter. Anand Prakash Choksey, a businessman from Burhanpur, has recreated a replica of the iconic Taj Mahal, investing over 3 crore rupees. While the replica’s construction might be a personal homage or architectural endeavor, the intent to place four religious flags atop its minarets has sparked sharp criticism from Sanatani circles.
The question is not of art, but of intent, interpretation, and impact.
🕌 The Replica and the Real Issue
- The replica itself is not objectionable to many observers, including Guruji Sunil Chaudhary.
- What has raised eyebrows is the planned placement of flags representing four major religions on the four minarets to symbolize ‘unity and love’.
- According to Guruji, true love and unity in Bharat flows only from Sanatan Dharma—a civilization that never forced conversions, never invaded other lands, and always welcomed diversity.
📜 Why Only Sanatan Represents True Affection and Acceptance
Sanatan Dharma’s legacy lies in:
- Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – The world is one family.
- Ahimsa Parmo Dharma – Non-violence is the highest virtue.
- The teachings of Gita, Ramayana, and Vedas promote internal peace, universal brotherhood, and mutual respect.
In contrast, historical records reflect:
- Forced conversions by Mughal and Christian colonial regimes
- Destruction of thousands of temples
- Massacres under the guise of imperial rule
Hence, Guruji argues that placing other religious flags on an Islamic-inspired monument does not symbolize peace, but a whitewashing of deep civilizational wounds.
🚨 The Underlying Threat: False Unity Narratives
Modern secularism has often attempted to create a false equivalence between inclusive Sanatan Dharma and exclusive, proselytizing religions. According to Guruji:
“If unity comes at the cost of hiding historical truth, it is not unity; it is delusion.”
This gesture of religious equality atop a replica of the Taj is perceived as a symbolic attempt to:
- Equate all religions, regardless of historical behavior
- Dilute the civilizational pride of Hindus
- Neutralize Sanatan resistance to religious appeasement politics
🗺️ Referencing Pahalgam, Murshidabad & Badaun: Lessons from the Ground
Guruji references:
- Pahalgam – Where Hindus were attacked despite their peaceful nature
- Murshidabad & Badaun – Where selective land rights and aggressive minority politics sidelined Sanatani rights
These examples highlight that ‘love and unity’ are often one-sided slogans, especially when radical ideologies refuse to reciprocate.
🧠 The Sanatani Solution: Awareness, Assertion, Action
Guruji’s message to Sanatani followers:
- Teach your children the truth of history, not WhatsApp forwards but Shastra-based facts.
- Train your minds and bodies – keep sticks at home not for violence, but for preparedness.
- Occupy public spaces with cultural, educational, and dharmic assertion.
- Say no to symbolic secularism that weakens the Hindu spine.
🙏 A Message to Anand Prakash Choksey
Guruji appeals directly:
“Anand ji, if you truly wish to symbolize love, raise the Bhagwa Dhwaj on all four minarets and consecrate the space with Sita-Ram, Radha-Krishna.”
He suggests converting the replica into a Sanatani architectural marvel, a cultural center showcasing India’s eternal dharma, rather than becoming a vessel of confused symbolism.
🕉️ Conclusion: Jai Sanatan, Vande Mataram
India stands today at the crossroads of revival and erasure. Every symbol matters. Every act of misrepresented ‘love’ weakens the soul of this civilization. Guruji’s call is clear:
- Stop appeasing false unity
- Start honoring civilizational truth
- And above all, reclaim Sanatan spaces with pride, peace, and power
