Here we`ll talk about a feeling or a behavior called tribalism.

First off,what is tribalism ?
Well tribalism is the sense of being loyal to one`s own tribe over someone of a neutral or an enemy tribe. The sense of knowing that everything I do,I do for the tribe.
What is our tribe ?
For us it`s that of Hindus & may include other Indic religions too.

So what does one expect Hindus to do ?
Well Hindus should be always to loyal to a Hindu even in dire circumstances, always defend a Hindu over a non-Hindu even if you think a Hindu is wrong.
If you see a secular Hindu who hates Hindutva (say Ravish Kumar) and a Muslim who says he likes Hinduism (say Arif Muhammad Khan),even in that case choose to be loyal to the secular Hindu, you can sort out your differences with him later but against a non-Hindu,always choose him.

If any freedom fighter in the colonial era thought that it was necessary for Hindus and Muslims to unite to drive out the British, then overall he did more harm to Hinduism than he did good.

This is a harsh truth that all Hindus who worship some or other leader have to accept.
We Hindus need to stop blindly glorifying mortal people & need to glorify only the Hindutva ideals.
In 1947-50,when Hindus were being slaughtered en masse on both borders then whoever opposed Gandhi must have been shut up & criticized by blind Gandhi fans,we all know the result.
When I say Bose was as much secular as Gandhi, blind fans jump on me & say that at least he fought the British in a nice way or that he was a devout Hindu at home.
Well the truth is that Bose`s secularism cost Bengali Hindus too much & his fight against British was negligible.

As many people here hold the view that veil in Hindu society was introduced because of islamic onslaught, it's a necessity to write how even in pre-islamic era veil was very much prevalent in upper class of Hindu society. So, we'll be looking at some pre-islamic Hindu texts.
The earliest reference to veil is to be found in our epics. In Valmiki Ramayana, at the time when Sita Ma set out with Shri Rama for the forest through the public thoroughfares of Ayodhya+
A regret is expressed that a lady who wasn't even seen by sky spirits should now become the object of public gaze
