“[World War 2,] a time when world fascism ( I do not know the meaning) was being fought by world people ( again I do not know the meaning ).”
Ram Swarup, An Indictment: Whose Responsibility for the Failure of 1942

“A pure monotheistic God, unrelieved by polytheistic elements, tends to become lifeless and abstract. A purely monotheistic unity fails to represent the living unity of the Spirit and expresses merely the intellect’s love of the uniform and the general.
Similarly, purely polytheistic Gods without any principle of unity amongst them lose their inner coherence. They fall apart and serve no spiritual purpose.”
Ram Swarup, The Word as Revelation: Names of Gods

“Many elite Hindus disowned their nationhood and their culture and adopted the ways and attitudes of the victors whom they regarded as their superiors. They saved their self-respect through self-alienation. Even people who eventually came to fight the British politically surrendered to them culturally.”
Ram Swarup, Cultural self-alienation and some problems Hinduism faces
