A fierce storm brews over UGC’s fresh education mandates as ascetics across Uttar Pradesh decry them as divisive poison. From sacred gatherings to public forums, the call to rescind echoes loudly, framing the rules as an assault on communal bonds.
Swami Avimukteshwaranand laid bare his objections succinctly: ‘No community is innately righteous or wicked; virtues and vices transcend birth.’ He roundly condemned the UGC for sowing seeds of caste enmity, foreseeing havoc for Hindu traditions. ‘This folly must end now—repeal it to safeguard our dharma,’ he exhorted.
He unraveled what he views as a pernicious scheme: pitting castes against each other to weaken Hinduism from within. ‘What justifies this provocation in a democracy? It’s leadership betraying its people,’ he charged, urging vigilance against such tactics.
The Swami reflected on Alankaar Agnihotri’s Bareilly resignation with reverence. ‘Abandoning power for principle reveals the scars on devotees’ souls from UP’s policies. This sacrifice will inspire generations as a beacon against injustice,’ he affirmed.
In a bold escalation, Jagadguru Paramhans Acharya penned a missive to PM Modi, demanding rollback or euthanasia permission. ‘General category girls, 35 percent of the pool, face exploitation traps; crimes will surge, denying fair shots at learning to the talented,’ he alerted.
As this spiritual revolt unfolds, it spotlights flaws in policy-making that prioritize quotas over merit and safety. The saints’ impassioned pleas compel a reckoning: reform education without fracturing society, or risk a legacy of regret.
