Earliest known Hindu King about whom we have proof is Chandragupta Maurya. The dynasty lasted only for close to 140 years.
If we read epics like Ramayana, lineage of Lord of Rama (Raghu Vamsam) is stated clearly. Wikipedia says Lord Rama belonged to 81st generation.
Any dharma can be passed on to next generation only when religious duties are performed meticulously. A person himself may be a great warrior. He can make his son a warrior only if his religious duties are performed with fervour.
As we saw earlier in case of Chandragupta, dharma could not be transfered even before 2000 years. Hindu dharma was already declining during his period.
Decline in Kshatria dharma only caused invasions in Bharath. Or we can say, non inherence to dharma was cause for decline of sanatana dharma, for every foreign invasion was a blow to our religion.
150 years ago, Hindu society was in a pathetic state. Skeleton of dharmic rituals were held tightly, forgetting the heart of our religion, dry rituals and beliefs were held tightly.
Savarkar narrates how easily a Hindu got converted. In Andaman jail, mohammadeans forced Hindus to dine with them. Only that was needed for other Hindus to banish him. He was not accepted as a fellow Hindu. Thus he automatically, had no choice but to become a muslim.
This only shows that Hindu society had lost its discretion and humanity.
Women were illtreated. Atrocities on harijans were at its peak. Mutual respect among human beings were long last.
Spiritual leaders of that time were interested in establishing dharma among Hindus. They cared less about freedom struggle.
Very few seers participated in freedom struggle like Aurobindo.
Gandhiji was a saint. Our freedom movement was guided by this great saint.
I will try to place the facts as to why he should be considered a saint.
