Ah yes let's use hindutva and bjp interchangeably! very intelligent. let's link up articles that justifies, hell even praises, “dismantling global hindutva”, held in Harvard-“depends on the context”-ivy league, which has proven to be an echo chamber of both hinduphobia and antisemitism, which is nothing different from “Eradication of Sanatan Dharma Conference” held in India itself, you know the evil hinduvadi country. That article has so many flaws how are people even reblogging and agreeing with it...won't say I'm surprised though, just expected something better i suppose.
“i hate zionism not judaism” said by the same group of people who will say “i hate hindutva not hinduism”.
since you all love to say hindu nationalism is only supported by upper caste leaders, even though I never do this, here I will mention their castes, you pretend to hate only casteism not hinduism but work overtime to make sure casteism remains prevalent.
bjp, that you claim is interchangeable with hindutva, which first of all, how fucking stupid, leader narenda modi, is an OBC leader who is the prime minister of india. president miss droupadi murmu is from Santhal Tribe of India. None of these most powerful people are of the inherently evil upper caste, next up, home minister Amit Shah, is from baniya caste which is Vaishya Caste, again not an evil brahmin. I don't get where you're going with hindu nationalism is only done by upper caste citizens, these are the very same voices that say Ram Mandir is only for Upper Caste Hindus, or Upper Caste Hindus are never persecuted (also False! I'll have to make a separate post regarding this.)
Hindu + tattva (essence) = hindutva
Hindutva literally means hinduness.
First off, you are reblogging article that clearly stated, these hindu organisations always resort to hinduphobia when faced with criticism, without any substantial evidence to back this claim. Then you get mad at people who say israel resorts to antisemitism when faced with criticism.
We hate harvard for antisemitism but ofcourse their hinduphobia must be logical, right?
Do you not sense an ounce of similarity lol
Secondly, you say hindu rashtra will exterminate every single religious minority, as if Hindus have not been sheltering parsis when they faced persecution and sought refuge, Jews when they sought refuge, other minorities that you love to forget - Christians, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs have been living in India itself. And let me tell you our kings and queens at the time were 200% more nationalistic than any of the evil hindutva bigots present today. Was Bharat not a Hindu rashtra when parsis and jews sort refuge?
When Pakistan and Bangladesh wanted a separate nation, they wanted it on the basis of religion - islam, they were free do so, and they did, india however never called itself "all hindu country", it retained its diversity and heterogeneity, it even offered muslims to stay in India if they want to - and made "waqf board" to gift them lands. this waqf board is free to claim any land it wants to and you have the responsibility to prove its not a waqf land in their court, comprising only their members, but ofcourse no hearing will favour waqf they're secular, no it doesn't matter if it wishes to claim a 1500 year old temple land, when islam itself is 1300 years old, they are free to do so. While hindu refugees who fled from Pakistan weren't given shit <3 #secularism wins. And no, supreme court doesn't interfere with waqf hearings because as long as hindus are at disadvantage it is secularism.
You severely need to read "hindus in hindu rasthra" before you all jump and call hindus are the oppressor power, or that they enjoy any “benefit”, if anything they have been the only group that are at severe disadvantage, the only group where leaders of “secular parties” (you know, anyone who isn't bjp is secular woohoo), can throw shit on us, can call our culture, religion, gods, practices anything they want without any repercussion, where only my temple has to pay taxes, where durga puja, Rath Yatra, Ram Navami celebration are attacked, where anyone can enter temple premise and urinate but will not face any consequences because they are unstable, where boiling water is thrown from balconies, where gross proselytizing chants by persecuted minority is played outside of Jain and Hindu temples, where we are called "outsiders" not the actual indigenous by certain groups of secular historians, even if genetic studies contradict them!
This hindu nationalist leader, narendra modi offers chadar at mazar of Muslim Mystic, Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti who said “I will raze these Anasagar Hindu Temples to the ground. I have come to India to fight the holy war against infidels”
That is why, your beloved article, only mentions demolition of Babri masjid, calls it a centuries old sacred site, however didn't it fucking forgot to mention, on what remains that masjid was built? How hindus have been visiting the area for all 500 years because of their connection and devotion to the land? How have they taken this to the court several times BEFORE independence, how muslims at those times, allowed hindus to place our idol there, when suddenly after decades, tensions built up? When suddenly our muslim brothers didn't believe babar built that by demolishing a mandir? Your article also forgot to mention land gifted to muslim community as compensation for this, to build the largest mosque funded by government? While Ram Mandir that your article forgot to claim is built by donations only? And this temple, will be taxed! Yay!
Some words of our persecuted Babar :
Even hindu “reclamation” comes at a huge price. With waves of hindu persecution in both Bangladesh and Pakistan picking up speed and intensity, diminishing their numbers rapidly, turning a Sita Ram temple in Pakistan into meat shop, turning Gurudwaras into dustbin in Pakistan, to targetting Chandranath Temple, an important and sacred Shakti Peeth in Bangladesh, which mind you, wasn't built by demolishing any islamic structure.
And your beloved article mentions, “this has been the highest feat for Hindu nationalists”, as if it shouldn't be? Reclaiming a part of our heritage after 500 years, that kept on delaying because "secular" historians kept on writing how it's the worst mistake in Indian history and how this mandir is a myth, have still not retracted their statements even after archeological evidences contradict their narrative! They still call Mandir a “disputed” land. But of course, hindu nationalists are the fascists here.
Copying from @rhysaka
Hindus suffered such attempted extermination in East Bengal in 1971, when the Pakistani Army killed 1 to 3 million people, with Hindus as their most wanted target. This fact is strictly ignored in most writing about Hindu-Muslim relations, in spite (or rather because) of its serious implication that even the lowest estimate of the Hindu death toll in 1971 makes Hindus by far the most numerous victims of Hindu-Muslim violence in the post-colonial period. It is significant that no serious count or religion-wise breakdown of the death toll has been attempted: the Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi ruling classes all agree that this would feed Hindu grievances against Muslims.
The Hindu refugees at the time of the genocide, about 8 million, all went back after the ordeal, partly because the Indian government forced them to it, partly because the new state of Bangladesh was conceived as a secular state; the trickle of Hindu refugees into India only resumed in 1974, when the first steps towards islamization of the polity were taken. This leaves 2.4 million missing Hindus to be explained. Taking into account a number of Hindu children born to refugees in India rather than in Bangladesh, and a possible settlement of 1971 refugees in India, it is fair to estimate the disappeared Hindus at about 2 million.
If you believe, bonding of Hindus and Jews is because evil hindutvas can't contain their hatred of the largest minority in the country and hence they need jewish support for it, don't fucking interact. This is the SAME talking point used by Indian leftist who love Hamas, in the end if you're gonna be doubtful about this "bond", doubt our genuineness, then please keep your pity to yourself.
Edit : also I think you meant "hindutva" not hinduva : which isn't even a thing oh my god this is getting hilarious
