Thoughts on China-virus, China, and India

Nithin Sridhar

From my limited reading of the issue, what I feel is that, if there is one good thing this China-Virus has done to the world, it is that it has shown how widespread is the Chinese influence across the world, including organizations like WHO and UN. And perhaps we are only a few years away when it would completely sideline the US. And this should wake up Indians, more than any other country.

While US is no friend to India, China is even less so. China has, in fact, emerged as a clear enemy of India, notwithstanding the civilizational ties we may have had some point in history. China has the civilizational and strategic vision and will power to become a superpower and gain whatever it wants.

However, the current Chinese power that has arisen is an Asuric force, a force of Adharma. And it is India, and India alone, which can counter this Asuric and Adharmic power. But, it is not secular India, compromised in its morality, weak in its mechanization, lacking a civilizational and strategic vision that can truly counter China. Secular India does not have that vision, strength or tapasya. It is only a Hindu India which can do this. 

Sri Aurobindo says India exists for Sanatana Dharma and when it is said India rises, it is Sanatana Dharma which rises. But, for Sanatana Dharma to rise and claim its true place in the world, we need a strong Hindu polity in place. We need political system and leaders, who have the civilizational and strategic vision to reclaim the geographical boundary which once defined Bharat and transform greater India into a true superpower in every sense of the word: political, financial, strategic, and cultural before we can actually become a Vishwa-Guru.
