I hate to say this but I will say it every few months because it's important.
Hindus are so intellectually deficient that they don't even bother to go through the work of ppl before them. Everybody is in a tearing hurry to clock followers & look like a hero by hook or by crook.
And that's why they fail & deserve to fail. When it comes to Dharma, there's no trick, no short cut. You can't hack or hijack success in Dharma.
I think I'll expand on it:
Journalists don't know/ don't follow basic journalistic ethics.
Academics have the intellectual appetite of class X students.
Activists don't understand basic laws of the country.
Knowledge of history is limited to today's trending tags.
Result? Fail.
We need this volte face. Otherwise the Hindu right wing (or whatever fancy term you want to use) will live in some lala land about how great & mighty they are while getting eaten alive.
I'm appalled by the depths of incompetence & dishonesty. It's a race to the bottom here.

Two yrs ago when we documented the #MalabarHinduGenocide most Hindus were unaware of it & literally nobody was talking about it.
Although 25 Sep is chosen as date for commemoration, the atrocities went on till NOV. It was NOT just one day! hindugenocide.com/islamic-jihad/…
We spent weeks digging out original references of atrocities on Hindus from all sorts of sources.
It's not just important to understand the incident but ALSO important to know why it was selective targeting of Hindus & not some agrarian riots as many "academics" claim.
During the period 1821-1921, there were 51 militant outbreaks of the Mappilas. These outbreaks were not fueled just by agrarian discontent, but were waged in the spirit of Jihad, against everyone they saw as their opponents–be it Christian rulers or Hindu landlords (jenmis).
India is the only country & Hinduism is the only religion in which you are constantly harassed to cite from Hindu scriptures for following traditions. NO OTHER culture does that. Entire Europe has traditions which are based on nothing but a continued practice.
So many indigenous cultures have no written records at all. ALL knowledge is passed down from one generation to another through traditions!
Traditions are the time-tested way of preserving knowledge, esp practical knowledge, rather than theoretical.
Traditions are not even necessarily limited to a religion. They are local, regional, run in families, even educational institutions.
Then WHY is only Hinduism constantly targeted? And why are Hindus always on back foot in justifying them?
So much of Christian terminology has taken roots in Hindu-spirituality language that I can't even...
Almighty
Salvation
Soul
Lord ___, Praise the Lord
Rest in Peace
You only live once
Amen
How to remove this from the language of Hindu leadership? I'm out of ideas.
"Almighty" -- stems from the belief that there is only ONE God (the Christian God) who is ALL mighty. There is no other God & nobody else can claim to be as "mighty" as Him.
"Salvation" is getting saved from the consequences of your "sins." As a human, as per Christian doctrine, you are by DEFAULT a sinner--by birth. You add more sin by veering from the set doctrines in your life. On Judgement Day, you can be saved from your sins by God.
Hindus chiming in, blaming "caste" for every problem ailing Hinduism is the most counterproductive thing possible right now.
I don't understand. Are people seriously not even READING the anti Hindu literature? Why, you sound just like another Devdutt P with better vocab!
It's literally like the 2021 version of the gora sahib saying "you're the dirty, brown coolie with a funny turban" & you saying "yes, yes I am." 😐
I'm tired of these weird arguments. Some people also believe that the Earth is flat. Should we blame the Earth for it or just call them what they are: ignorant?
Hindi & Sanskrit do not use full stops. It has viraam |
And हाँ is written with Chandra bindu, not bindu.
For someone who claims to be an expert & has written a book on Sanskrit, this is telling.
But she is the "scholar" and we are "extremists" for pointing out incorrect grammar.
Yes, many Indians would also not know these tiny nuances of the languages because Indians have poor language skills nowadays. Unfortunately.
But for a "scholar" & author, standards of assessment are different.
"It has viraam" = the devanagri script has viraam.
I couldn't fit the whole thing.
