WHY I ENTERED POLITICS
The politics of #PseudoSecularism and #PseudoHindutva polarises Indians by religion, divides them by caste, and cooks its political meals on the funeral pyres of Indians.
I believe Bharat needs to break free from this politics of division and rediscover a unifying national purpose. The alternative is not another form of identity politics, but a politics rooted in Bharat’s civilisational ethos, constitutional democracy, and the welfare and dignity of every citizen.
After nearly four decades in public service, I have come to believe that governance or judicial reforms alone are not sufficient to arrest the rot. Bharat needs a deeper civilisational renewal.
It is with this conviction that, on 3 October 2026, from Kashi, the civilisational epicentre of Bharat, I began a new chapter of public life.
I have entered politics as National President of the Sarvjan Sanatan Party (SSP).
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh were one country until Partition in 1947. Pakistan and Bangladesh chose an Islamic civilisational identity, while Bharat draws its identity from its Sanatan civilisation.
That civilisational identity is not a relic of the past. It is the foundation of Bharat’s continuity as a civilisation and a nation. It must therefore be preserved, strengthened and carried forward. Bharat should not be allowed to become a geographical extension of Pakistan and Bangladesh, nor diluted into a copy of Western civilisation.
A people who have lost their identity have lost everything.
Bharat must remain Bharat.
Bharat must modernise, develop and prosper—but without ceasing to be Bharat.
Our Bharat Rebuilding Plan therefore seeks to combine constitutional democracy with Bharat’s eternal civilisational ethos, and modern knowledge and technology with the knowledge systems and values of our civilisation.
Its four foundational priorities are:
➡️ Education — best-quality, free education for all.
➡️ Healthcare — best-quality, free healthcare for all.
➡️ Livelihood — productive opportunity, enterprise and economic security for all.
➡️ Civilisational Re-rooting — reconnecting Bharat and its people with its languages, knowledge traditions, sacred institutions, culture, family and relationship with nature.
Our approach is grounded in:
— Constitutional Fidelity.
— Civilisational Continuity.
— Sarvjan Kalyan.
— Justice and Dignity for All.
— Intergenerational Equity.
Sanatan represents a civilisational ethos centred on Dharma, truth, duty, justice, compassion, family, society and harmony with nature.
The objective is neither to reject modernity nor to copy another civilisation.
It is to build a modern, prosperous and powerful Bharat on its own eternal civilisational foundations.
A Bharat that is:
Just. Secure. Prosperous. Cohesive. Self-reliant.
We do not seek to recreate the past.
We seek to take the best of what Bharat has inherited, renew it for the present, enrich it through knowledge and innovation, and transmit it strengthened to future generations.
This is the Bharat Rebuilding Plan of the Sarvjan Sanatan Party.
— Modern in outlook.
— Rooted in civilisation.
— United in purpose.
I invite all who share this vision to join us in the endeavour to rebuild Bharat.
Let us rebuild a civilisational Bharat — together.

We will comprehensively review the reservation policies. Furthermore, any constitutional provisions, laws, or public policies that divide people based on religion, caste, or sex, or that weaponise identities, will be repealed.
The real issue is not caste itself, but casteism which is a modern affliction.

The decisive criterion is whether an organisation’s or cult’s foundational doctrines and practices implicitly or explicitly affirm the foundational Hindu metaphysical first principles based on Veda and remain substantially within Hindu religious framework. On that criterion, Sri Aurobindo, Arya Samaj, etc are within Hindu fold.
