Elite RW aren't the standard bearers of Hinduism.
We are.
Fasting on Ekadasi, reading Vishnu Sahasranamam, carrying Ganesh idols on our heads, lighting lamps before Amla trees, worshipping rivers, walking up Tirumala hills, applying tilak to new cars.
We will never be finished

As long as we continue to invoke Ganesha before new endeavours, help our mothers draw rangolis outside, wake up at 4 to visit temples, offer food to strays outside as Dattatreya, apply vermillion to the threshold, sit listening to Meerabai and Tukaram, this dharma will survive
As long as saints congregate at Pandharpur, as long as Jagannath draws his celestial chariots out at Puri, as long as Mata Durga visits us annually for 9 days, as long as Maha Shiva rises each time at Somnath, this religion will live on.
Dont be defeatist.

This was me last year on Ganesh Chaturthi. Still living by the traditions taught by my grandparents.
Clutching the sindoor/haldi stained Puja book and reciting the mantras in Telugu.
Live your culture and teach your kids too.
