Dr. Swamy's political life is characterized by fighting lone battles, defending individual rights, exposing corruption, and standing for truth even at the cost of facing unjustified criticism, yet never appearing conciliatory against his opponents.
His distinguished contributions make him the most unique politician in the country. Although it is difficult to do justice to Dr. Swamy's contributions in a single article, the following points will provide a broad overview of his achievements:
- No politician, whether from BJP or Congress, has to his credit opening of a religious site as prominent as Kailash Mansarovar due to individual efforts.
- Dr. Swamy is the only politician fighting for freeing Hindu temples from state control. In TN, Kerala, Andhra, and Uttarakhand, he is legally involved in cases for the removal of state control of Hindu temples.
- Dr. Swamy along with his associate and ace lawyer, TG Mohandas is fighting for freeing Devasom Board from state control.
- In TN too, Dr. Swamy not only fought for the freedom of Natraja temple but also won the case. The Natraja temple case has become the most celebrated and highly cited case for lawyers fighting for the independence of Hindu temples.
- In February 1991, Dr. Subramanian Swamy, as a Union Minister of Law & Justice, concluded a Natraja idol smuggling case in the UK court. The return of antique Hindu idols began after this victory.
- He is fighting for freeing Char Dhaam temples from government control. Ironically, BJP ruled Uttarakhand state government passed the Chaar Dhaam Devasthanam Management Act to take control over 51 Hindu temples.
- Dr. Swamy saved Ram Sethu from certain destruction when he obtained a stay from the Supreme Court against the controversial SSCP project. In 2007, then RSS chief, K Sudarshan, and VHP chief Ashok Singhal ji had personally requested Dr. Swamy to intervene in the matter.
- In Ram Mandir, Dr. Swamy's writ petition on the fundamental right to worship changed the course and forced SC to go for a Day-to-day hearing. On late Ashok Singhal ji's request, Dr. Swamy intervened in the Ram Mandir matter and assiduously worked for the cause through legal means.
- As the President of Kashi GyanVapi Mukta Yagna Samiti, Dr. Swamy will be leading the fight for the liberation of Kashi GyanVapi Mandir.
For the majority of politicians, speech is more important than work because the underlying idea is to win elections. Dr. Swamy's case is exactly the opposite because his contributions in public speak more than his words.
Dr. Swamy is a true follower of Krishna's advice on doing karma without expectation of fruits. He is a Nishkaam KarmaYogi in the true sense.
Dr. Subramanian Swamy, therefore, is the most pro-Hindu politician of contemporary India. His power stems from his persistent efforts (karmas) spread over his 50-year political career. Dr. Swamy is a highly educated, incorruptible, progressive, and fighter politician of India. He is a rare Hindu gem and it would be a disaster if India as a nation misses a golden opportunity like Dr. Subramanian Swamy.
