Ram Swarup And Sita Ram Goel: Their Importance For Hindu Thought
Koenraad Elst
Voice Of India
Shri Ram Swarup and Shri Sita Ram Goel always emphasized that the religion is the problem, not its followers. To talk about Muslims without implying Islam, is irrelevant. The essence of Islam is simply what is laid out in the Qur’an and the Hadith, i.e. Mohammed’s beliefs and conduct. Shri Ram Swarup and Shri Sita Ram Goel will be remembered by Hindus in India and around the world for a long time. For most of the last half of the twentieth century, they produced hundreds of books, articles and pamphlets praising the glories of Hinduism while warning of its most malicious foes.
About Speaker:
- Dr. Koenraad Elst was born in Leuven, Belgium, on 7 August 1959, into a Flemish (i.e. Dutch-speaking Belgian) Catholic family. He graduated in Philosophy, Chinese Studies and Indo-Iranian Studies at the Catholic University of Leuven. During a stay at the Benares Hindu University, he discovered India's communal problem and wrote his first book about the budding Ayodhya conflict. While establishing himself as a columnist for a number of Belgian and Indian papers, he frequently returned to India to study various aspects of its ethno-religio-political configuration and interview Hindu and other leaders and thinkers. His research on the ideological development of Hindu revivalism earned him his Ph.D. in Leuven in 1998. He has also published about multiculturalism, language policy issues, ancient Chinese history and philosophy, comparative religion, and the Aryan invasion debate.
