He declared that Hindu Society, Hindu Religion, Hindu Culture and Hindu way of life?in short, Sanathana Dharma? are under the combined onslaught of Islam, Christianity, Marxism and Nehruvian pseudo-secularism. At the end of that well-attended meeting, it was unanimously proposed that a resolution should be passed congratulating Dr Subramanian Swamy for having succeeded in making the Islam-embracing, Christianity-coveting and Hindu-hating UPA Government in New Delhi creep and crawl before the Honourable Supreme Court in a shameless manner by withdrawing its earlier affidavit relating to Lord Rama and Rama Sethu Bridge.

The following Resolution was passed and sent to Dr Subramanian Swamy: ?We pass a resolution to congratulate you and thank you for moving the Supreme Court of India on this issue. You scored a signal success in that the Supreme Court has taken up the case for hearing and has given the people of India sometime to further organize resistance to this assault of the ?secularists? of pseudo -Indians, spurious Gandhis and their sycophant Macaulayan tribes. This is to convey to you the unanimous resolution of thanks to you for your valued efforts to see that the assault on India, Bharat and Bharateeyas by Resident Non Indians (RNIs) does not succeed.?
Courage is the first of human qualities because it is a quality which guarantees all the others. Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. It is courage India of to-day needs, not infallibility?. Courage is always the surest wisdom. Courage is grace under pressure. Righteous anger is a prelude to courage. One man with courage and strength of conviction makes a majority. Courage is simply one of the virtues, but a form of every virtue at the testing point. Hope awakens courage. He who can implant courage in the human soul is the best physician.
True courage is not the brutal force of vulgar heroes, but the firm resolve of virtue and reason. It takes vision and courage to create ? it takes faith and courage to prove. Courage is a supreme virtue because it is the guarantor of every other virtue. The rarest courage is the courage of thought. The paradox of courage is that a man must be a little careless of his life even in order to keep it. Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 ? 1882) summed it up all beautifully when he wrote: ?Whatever you do, you need courage.
Whatever course you decide upon, there is always some one to tell you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end with ruthless determination requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men to win them.? These thoughts rushed to my mind when I heard Dr T Hanuman Chowdary, Chairman of Pragna Bharathi at Hyderabad. Born in 1931, Dr T Hanuman Chowdary graduated in Telecommunications Engineering. He held Executive, Managerial and Directorial positions in All India Radio and the Department of Telecommunications (DOT) in the Government of India. He was the founding Chairman and Managing Director of VSNL, Governor of INTELSAT, Washington and Executive Director, INMARSAT, London.
He served as United Nations Expert in Guyana and Yeman. As an outstanding professional in his chosen field of Telecommunications Engineering, he has led several delegations from India to more than 50 countries throughout the world. He has addressed several International Conferences, lectured in several universities in India and abroad on Telecommunications, Information Technology and Civilizational Dialogues.
Even in the days of active service as a dedicated public servant totally committed to public welfare, he was well known for waging an intellectual campaign for ending the dastardly regime of State-monopoly in the field of telecommunications. He was a total believer in the elimination of ‘Licence-Permit-Control-Quota Raj’. He was a doughty champion of the need for bringing in the private sector in the field of telecommunications. In support of his campaign, he has been bringing out a monthly journal titled Centre for Telecommunications Management and Studies (CTMS) ever since January 1992.
He has published several outstanding articles and books on the subject. As a crusader for maximum public welfare at minimum cost in the Department of Telecommunications (DOT) for over three decades, his public motto was always ?Render Service, not merely administer Rules?. These ideas were conveyed effectively in his book ?Are You Listening?? published by the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan in 1990. He was Chairman of Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Hyderabad Kendra and during his term of office, he founded a number of public schools and a College. He has been Chairman of Pragna Bharati, an Association of Nationalist Intellectuals of Andhra Pradesh ever since 1993.
When you meet Dr Hanuman Chowdary, you are face to face with an outstanding public servant who seems to give us this message: ?To fight for the Right, to abhor the imperfect, the unjust or the mean, to swerve neither to the right hand nor to the left, to care nothing for flattery or applause, or odium or abuse?it is so very easy to have any one of them in India?and never to let your enthusiasm be soured or your courage grow dim, but to remember that the Almighty has placed your hands on the plough of a great public undertaking, in whose furrows the India of the future is taking shape from moment to moment, to drive the blade a little forward in your time and to feel that somewhere amongst our teeming millions, you have left behind a little happiness or justice or prosperity, a sense of manliness or moral dignity, a spring of patriotism or a dawn of intellectual enlightenment or a stirring of duty, where it did not before exist?these deathless ideals ought to be the signposts for every public servant in India?.
As a speaker he is incomparable. His wit is verbal and cumulative: his words come in short, sharp bursts of precisely aimed, concentrated fire, as image, pun, metaphor, parody, seem spontaneously to generate one another in succession of marvellously imaginative patterns, sometimes rising to high, wildly comical fantasy. His unique accent, idiom, voice, the structure of the sentences, becomes a magnetic model which affects the style of speech, writing, and perhaps feeling of many who come under its spell.
At any rate I came under its spell when he spoke recently at a meeting organized by Pragna Bharathi at Hyderabad. When I heard him speak, I could easily see in him the exquisite quality of quiet gaiety and transparent goodness. To goodness he adds purity of character, distinction of intellect and feeling, a sense of public duty, and a devotion to personal relations and ordered private life. I could see beneath his natural simplicity and unobtrusive gentleness, a foundation of Deccan Granite which gives him an unsuspected strength of will. He is an intellectual who is interested in general ideas. But he is neither woolly-minded nor pedantic, nor locked in an ivory tower. He is involved in public affairs and any one can see that he has taken a life long interest in public issues. What is striking is that he is not a philistine and does not judge an academic world by the standards drawn from public life and vice versa.
Dr Hanuman Chowdary issued a ‘Press Release’ on 13 September, 2007 in his capacity as Chairman of Pragna Bharati on Government of India’s ‘barborous affidavit’ on Rama Sethu in the Supreme Court of India. To quote his inimitable words in this context: ?Rama is part of the names of 50 per cent or more than the billion Hindus in the world, Rama and Ramayana and Rama Sethu are an indelible part of the memory of thousands of generations of Bharatiyas. Ever so often, ever so many Indians including scholarly and enlightened people describe Bharat as ‘Aasetu Himachala paryantham’. Rama, Rama Sethu and Himalayas are in every cell of Bharathiya’s blood, body and mind.
A Government, run by a Party which invokes Mahatma Gandhi’s name and his legacy ever so often, sponsoring of such an affidavit amounts to the repudiation of the age-old memory, belief, faith, culture and very being of Bharat and Bharatiyas. This is a prelude, if not the continuance of war of aBharatiyas, of those whose education has been designed by Macaulay in the 1830s so that they would be in colour and blood only Indian, but in thoughts, tastes and way of life would be British.
These people go by the description ‘Secular’. Obviously, they are of a sickly mind, otherwise how could a Government led by Congress Party whose greatest and world revered leader was Mahatma Gandhi, who spoke of Rama Rajya, who died with the name of ‘Ram’ on his lips can acquiesce to a minion of its Government filing before the highest Court of the country that there is no evidence for the existence of Rama. The Pragna Bharati deeply deplores this despicable affidavit. It holds this as blasphemy and deliberate insult of hundreds of millions of Bharatiyas.?
