A white British man (William Darlymple) bullied a major publisher (Bloomsbury India) into not publishing a book by three brown Hindu women who are also lawyers. If they can do this to lawyers, imagine what they can do to ordinary people like us?
Right. White people vegetarianism good. Brown people vegetarianism bad.

No one in their right mind is calling out vegetarianism, a sustainable food choice. It’s that touching a spoon that has been used for serving non-veg defiles vegetarian food. I have a lot of strict vegan friends in the US who have no notion of this “touch”.

Engineer from a small rural village family comes back from US to solve the water-crisis in his village. From raising funds to digging, the man has done it all. Inspiring story!
I wish I could say that this is an isolated case but so many Hindu Americans I work with are expressing the same feelings. Just this morning America born Hindu mothers were wondering if this land is safe for their children anymore.

has accomplished today is no mean feat. 30 years since the worst genocide of independent India and this is the FIRST time that the story of Kashmiri Pandits has been put on the world stage. FIRST TIME. The path is long and painful, but Hindus will get there.
Apparently, India does not have the right to prioritize religious minorities who are GUARANTEED to be executed in the coming months, even though
@nytimes
could not even ensure the safety of its journalists, despite pandering to the Taliban by publishing its opeds.
India said it would prioritize the repatriation of Hindus and Sikhs from Afghanistan. The move drew comparisons to a recent citizenship law that discriminates against Muslims.
“To accuse India of Islamophobia is truly perverse. Given the wounds inflicted by centuries of Muslim rule, India as a majority Hindu country could have been deeply intolerant towards Islam. Instead, it has embraced Islam as an integral part of India.”

Calling for genocide is not some “random disgusting views”. The fact that you have internalized genocidal hate is a different problem we must deal with. Actions have consequences. Nazism spread among the population because genocidal hate towards Jews was “accepted speech”.
Marxism when applied to indigenous societies serves to disconnect people from native epistemologies and injects abrahamic binaries. This creates a spiritual vaccuum which within 1-2 generations can be easily filled by one of the evangelizing abrahmic religions.
Imagine sitting in colonized lands, ignoring the plight of the indigenous people and holding a placard about “self-determination” of a land far away. Still not acknowledging the genocide of the indigenous people even in the faraway land. Seems like indigenous erasure is a habit?

Rahul Easwar in his extreme stupidity, has gotten the Nazi Hakenkrauz tattooed on his hand, while thinking that he has “reclaimed” Swastika.

If there is one thing every Hindu in America or anywhere else should learn from the Shalini Kantayya episode, is to realize that the only way to exist in the “South Asian” space, is to eschew your Hindu identity, heritage and ancestry.
Yep, Hindu practices were banned by “Akbar, the Great”. Now you would ask why would the “nice one” ban Hindu rituals? Well coz our bigotry threshold for Mughals is so low, that anyone who is barely tolerable, is anointed “the Great”!

- Hinduism is not individualistic, libertarian heaven
- There is no such thing as Hindu atheist
- Nastika does not mean Atheist
- Prominent “Nastika” schools are Jainism and Buddhism
- Charvaka was never accepted
Ilhan Omar is not only an anti-semite but also a Hinduphobe. Trying to excuse her behavior because Republicans have worse anti-semites is shameful for AOC. There are several non-hateful women of color whom you could rally behind to make your point.
