@dhume @virsanghvi He is quite clueless, as are you. Hindu ethos holds India together. It is naive to think the imported misfit European graft of "secularism" does.
India is plural because it is Hindu. It sheltered minorities far before Europe invented secularism.

@dhume @virsanghvi Sanghvi and the English academic elite are obsessed with European history and theory. In their imagination India must be understood by grafting on a European lens—"Nazism" "Fascism" and so on. They have no other foundation, are ignorant of Indic thought.
@dhume @virsanghvi All of the critiques of Hindu thought by this elite is based on an ignorant strawman fallacy. They don't care to understand what they're critiquing since the aim is to demonize, not engage with ideas.
So some stray quote about Hitler becomes the motif for "Hindu nationalism."
