1. The opposition to #Decoloniality and Sai Deepak's work that is coming from the left is only natural and expected. But the opposition that is coming from the political right is more interesting and eventually more important.
2. The political right in India today is avoiding all the hard battles of ideas, avoiding all the difficult questions of identity and culture of Bharatvarsha. It ducks its head like an ostrich in the sand and thinks the 'storm' will pass over.
3. Public posturing of this political right is that 'we have accepted a 'synthesis' or 'amalgamation' of modernity & tradition' & its the only way forward. Its a pure lie coming from either political upstarts or rejects trying to sell Deendayal Upadhyaya as a philosopher.
4. In reality, they have just accepted all institutional and philosophical foundations of coloniality with a few cosmetic touches of 'nationalism' and soft Hindutva here and there. But in the end it is a posture and nothing else. And it won't withstand any real artillery attack.
5. The truth is that the war that Hindus are facing right now is an either/ or war. It is a complete war. It aims an absolute destruction of Hindu dharma by eroding the foundations of our culture and means of transferring culture and tradition to next generation.
6. The tools of this destruction are the institutions which are touted as 'essential' to contemporary life, but which are a product of a particular time, place and ideology which are alien to the chiti of Bharatvarsha, so much so that they aim for the destruction of our culture.
7. That is why the hard questions that are avoided by the excuse of 'we have accepted synthesis of modernity and tradition' will not do. We will have to discuss them and reestablish our culture or choose to be destroyed.
