The injustice is that Indian judiciary seeks “essential practices”for defining Hindu traditions and refuses to give the status of “denominations” to various Sampradāyas.
In reality, Hinduism is exactly the opposite. All its Sampradāyas are distinct and respected by each other.

This misunderstanding about Hinduism in the Indian law is intentional, and stems from the colonialist agenda of rebuilding India under the covenant of the Bible.
This injustice cannot be corrected until India’s constitution is rewritten with the primary copy in Indian languages.

It is absurd that we are forced to explain what Sampradāyas are, what Dharma is, what Yajña is.. and so on to an entity which refuses to conduct its proceedings in any language except English. How does English have the equivalents for Indic terms and traditions? It doesn’t.
Essentially, there is no alternative for Hindus in India except to suffer under the weight of the colonial reformist agenda for Hinduism. This will remain the case until the Indian constitution is rewritten with primacy to Indian languages. The primary text cannot be in English.
