SECULAR INDIA


We common Indians know and claim; WE ARE SECULAR AND WE ARE PARTS OF THE BIGGEST SECULAR SYSTEM.

To make us secular our history is twisted by a Buddhist; Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar. He imposed Buddhist symbols, using the name of first emperor ASHOK who was a Buddhist.

In turn Lord Buddha was degraded in the name of a Buddhist emperor courtesy Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar.

Our Indian secular national flag (EMBLEM OF SECULAR INDIA) carries a wheel with twentyfour spokes named ASHOK CHAKRA.

History of wheel (Chakra)
According to Sanatan Dharm (Hindu religion), Puranas mention that twentyfour Rishis wielded the whole power of the Gayatri Mantra. These twentyfour rishis in Himalayas are represented through the twentyfour letters of Gayatri Mantra. The twentyfour spokes of Dharma Chakra are representation of all these twentyfour rishis in which Vishvamitra is first and Yajnavalkya is last, who governs the religion (Dharma).

This Chakra is symbol of Dharma chakra and also known as Samay Chakra in twentyfour spokes represent the twentyfour hours of a day and symbol of the movement of the time.
  
When Buddha achieved nirvana (Enlightenment) at Gaya; he came to Sarnath (on the outskirts of Varanasi). There He found his five disciples (panch vargiya Bhikshu) Ashwajeet, Mahanaam, Kaundinya, Bhadrak and Kashyap, who had earlier abandoned him.

He preached his first sermon to them, thereby promulgating Dharma chakra. This is the motif taken up by Ashok and portrayed on top of his pillars. This is the origin of the Chakra in the Indian flag and it asserts the strong ties of India with the Buddhist faith.

It is also known as Bhava chakra. The twelve out of twentyfour spokes represent the twelve causal links taught by The Buddha.

The twelve causal links, paired with their corresponding symbols, are:
1.     Avidyā          lack of knowledge - a blind person, often walking, or a person
peering out
2.    Sanskāra      constructive volitional activity - a potter shaping a vessel or
Vessels
3.    Vijñāna         consciousness - a man or a monkey grasping a fruit
4.    Nāmarūpa     name and form (constituent elements of mental and physical
                          existence) - two men afloat in a boat
5.    Ṣaḍāyatana   six senses (eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind) - a
dwelling with six windows
6.    Sparśa         contact - lovers consorting, kissing, or entwined
7.    Vedanā         pain - an arrow to the eye
8.    Trishna        thirst - a drinker receiving drink
9.    Upādāna       grasping[1] - a man or a monkey picking fruit
10. Bhava           coming to be - a couple engaged in intercourse, a standing,
leaping or reflective person
11. Jāti              being born - woman giving birth
12. Jarāmarana old age[2] and death[3] - corpse being carried

These twelve in reverse represent a total twentyfour spokes representing the Life-The Dhamma (Pali laguage).

All documents originated from offices of Government of India carry an emblem GROUP OF FOUR LIONS named as ASHOK KI LATH

Group of four lions sitting back to back on a pillar:
The group of four lions sitting back to back jointly symbolize preaching of 'The Four Noble Truths' of Buddhism to all; those that emphasize the Middle Path. The symbol U with a vertical line placed symmetrically inside it symbolizes 'The Middle Path'. The Middle Path is the fundamental philosophy of Buddhism, the Buddhist (Bauddha) Dharma.


Now we have TO decide how much secular we are.
