""On day one, the conference unanimously decided to "Dismantle Hinduism as a religion to cure it of its affliction". To me, it surely sounds like colonisers reciting the edict to destroy an indigenous faith.""

"" Now we know why Hindus are the last surviving Pagans.

The colonisers got to the others first. Now they are onto us.""

#DismantlingGlobalHindutva
But the edicts of the oldest surviving religion says:

श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुण: परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् |
स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेय: परधर्मो भयावह: ||

It is better to strive in one’s own dharma than to interfere in the dharma of another....

#DismantlingGlobalHindutva
......Nothing is ever lost in following one’s own dharma. But competition with another’s dharma is borne of fear and insecurity in one’s own way of life.

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्।।

#DismantlingGlobalHindutva
""Whenever evil (adharma) becomes dominant in society, it will inspire a wave of righteousness (dharma) that will restore true liberty in the society.

The dismantlers of "Global Hindutva" can definitely take a few lessons from this.""

A church in Minnesota issued a letter to the public, whose contents can only be construed as Hinduphobia, deliberate misinformation, blatant prejudice and discrimination of the highest level. Image
What’s happening?

A temple was supposed to be constructed by the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir Hindu temple on a property in Hamel road, MN.
Statements from the Church:

“God Almighty does not want false religions in their community or anywhere for that matter.”

“Hindu Gods are false Gods.”

“Hindu Gods do not bring prosperity and such temples do not impress the real God.”

Larkana, Pakistan

In yet another instance of forced conversions and using women as just a tool to further radical religious ideas, we find the story of Sonika Chawla who was abducted and married off to Zeeshan Laghari. (1/4)
The girl belongs to Larkana, Pakistan, and will be reduced to just another case about the maltreatment meted out to minorities in Pakistan by the radical majority. (2/4)
What makes this even more ghastly is that the her sister, Aarti Chawla, was attacked the same way a few months ago, where she was forcefully abducted, converted and married off. The future of Hindu women in Pakistan remains bleak and uncertain. (3/4)

An open letter to President Biden @POTUS
In March 2020, when US was battling its first wave of COVID-19, India shipped 50 million doses of Hydroquinone, when asked for help, without missing a beat [1].
Ever since, the US has stockpiled enough vaccines to vaccinate the entire eligible population twice over [2].

State Department official defends the refusal by saying "first obligation is to take care of the requirements of the American people" [3].
