Resolution on the Preservation of the Vedic People

(Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya)

Vedic Culture represents humanity's most ancient and advanced spiritual/cultural expression. From the very  dawn of the human race and extending down to our own post-modern era, Vedic culture has continuously contributed to world culture many of history's most significant developments. These contributions have touched upon every aspect of the human experience - including philosophy, the sciences, religion, the arts, politics and social theory.

As scholars of Vedic Studies, we are especially aware that Vedic culture is not merely a phenomenon that pertains to the ancient past. Rather, the Vedic culture and religion is very much a vibrant and living tradition. Further, we are painfully aware that this invaluable Vedic culture is currently under genocidal assault in many parts of today's world. The followers of Vedic culture have faced violent persecution, discrimination and cultural cleansing campaigns in such places as Bangladesh, Pakistan and Fiji, as well as within India in such areas as Kashmir, West Bengal, Kerala and the North-East region.

As professors and scholars of Vedic studies, we urge both the governments of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, as well as the governments of all the world's nations to help put a stop to the sufferings and persecution of the Vedic people. We urge all who read this resolution to help ensure the future survival of the world's most ancient culture by insisting to your government officials that they help stop the current pogroms being deliberately carried out against the followers of the Vedic tradition.

We resolve that Ms. Ishani Chaudhury's documented monograph detailing many of these atrocities be forwarded to the governments of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, as well as to the embassies of these nations in the United States.
