Do you know that most of the Western negativity around Indians and Hindus has been shaped by one man? Do get acquainted with James Mill.

Leftist Hindus are pushing fellow Hindus to join Muslims in a coalition against the “racist right”—without demanding that Muslims abandon their anti-Hindu sentiments. How can you support Democrats when their prominent voices include @mehdirhasan, @WajahatAli, and others like them? Or @AbdulElSayed (amid ongoing Muslim Brotherhood questions) and the anti-semitics @RoKhanna @NYCMayor? Anti Hindu @RepJayapal
Correct. They are useful idiots - sepoys for their cause. The only “good” Hindus, according to leftists, are ones who adhere to progressive orthodoxy. The ethno-nationalist far right is more visible in their obscenity and must be condemned. There are electoral consequences for open bigotry, as seen last week. But the Islamo-socialist left maintains their own bigotry and purity tests, including condemning anyone who tells the truth. Less than three months ago, hundreds of elected Democrats protested a Hindu group event at MSG and promised never to take funds or appearances from Hindu aligned groups. Groups like @Hindus4HR perpetuate the same self-hating, leftist nonsense pushing bills in the U.S. to institutionalize discrimination. That is intolerance in its purest sense. @SuhagAShukla @CoHNAOfficial

a lot of truth to this. but leftists have been conditioned by anti-caste activists, etc., but to be suspicious of practicing hindus a priori. eg leftists will ask indian americans their caste. has happened to many ppl i know
Saikat is broadly right here. The U.S. left has a problem with the ideology of Hindu nationalism. It has no problem with the religion of Hinduism. Some Hindu nationalists/Hindu activists seek to blur this distinction because they would like the left to accommodate Hindu nationalism, and believe that attacking leftists as “anti-Hindu” will help them achieve this goal. Some of these people have also sought a political home in the MAGA movement, though let’s just say that hasn’t worked out too well for them. I doubt that their efforts to make the Democratic Party more hospitable to Hindutva will work out either.

The US left (which is also Christian supremacism with controls for subtlety) has no problem with Indians doing Bollywood and Bhangra, which is seen to be silly and quaint. They laugh at it and even join in it in the way we join kids playing a ring a ring a roses. Their problem is when Hindus align politically as a group, asserting our identity as a means of ensuring we are not discriminated against and our culture is not infantilized. That’s when they go “choti mooh badi baat” and affix the label “right wing Hindu nationalists”. They have no problems when other religions do it though, when they define not only who they are but who they are not.

We will become a great civilization when we are not insecure to accept that we ourselves are responsible for whatever happens to us; good or bad; not some outsider.

Ghar Wapsi is not simply about returning to one's ancestral faith. It also raises an important question. What happens after someone makes that decision? For individuals who voluntarily choose to reconnect with Sanatan Dharma, questions around legal formalities, documentation, community acceptance and cultural reintegration can arise. @Gharwapsifoun, under the guidance of Swami Uday Maharaj Ji, is working towards a structured national support system to address these practical needs. The proposed model includes Ghar Wapsi Resource Centres, legal and procedural guidance, trained local teams and continued community support. With a stated resolve of 10 crore Ghar Wapsis, Swami Ji envisions an organised institutional framework that can support individuals through each stage of the process. In this reel, Swami Ji explains the mission and the work the Foundation aims to undertake. Through Hindu Fund, you can support the development of this institutional infrastructure.

India under Hindutva is on steroids. It has a successful space agency, a nuclear-armed status, a thriving economy, an ancient culture, an independent, terror-inflicting army, a self-centric foreign policy based on global good, an intelligent diaspora and now great movies.
RAMAYANA has officially crossed the $100M mark at the global box office. It is the first international film outside China to hit the century mark this year, surprisingly ahead of GODZILLA MINUS ZERO.

“Even the Destroyer could not destroy his grief.” When Sati gave herself to the sacred fire, Lord Shiva held her in his arms and danced the Tandava — a dance of sorrow so fierce that mountains cracked and the heavens trembled. To end his pain, Lord Vishnu released the Sudarshan Chakra. Sati turned into golden light, falling across the land as sacred flames — the Shakti Peethas still worshipped today. One love. One endless dance. A grief so deep it shook the universe. 🔱🔥🙏 THE DANCE OF GRIEF Created with Seedance2.5 on @CuddlerAI #cuddler #ad

“Do you condemn Narendra Modi and Hindutva?” Somebody legitimately asked me this question when I met them and told them I’m Indian. Why are Indians the only ones subjected to these type of leftist purity tests? There are people from much worse countries that are never asked these questions. Say one good thing about Modi and you’ll be vilified by the left. Has anyone else dealt with this?

คนอินเดียอาจจะงงๆ ทำไมคนไทยไฮป์รามายณะ คือคนไทยโตมากับบทเรียนภาคบังคับที่สอนให้อ่านเรื่องรามเกียรติ์ ที่ดัดแปลงมาจากรามายณะ เลยจะมีความคุ้นเคยและผูกพันกับเรื่องราวของรามายณะไปด้วย พอมีหนังฟอร์มยักษ์ที่นำเสนอเรื่องราวที่คุ้นเคยและผูกพัน เลยจะอินและเอ็นจอยไปกับเรื่องได้ง่ายเป็นพิเศษ

Moral of the story according to Dhume: A "good Hindu" is one who observes religion in private. Keeps head down. Shows no outward expression of religiosity in foreign land. A "bad Hindu" is the antithesis. A bad Hindu tries to assert identity, wield political power. These "Hindoo nationalists" invite the opprobrium from the Left. Just deserts!

“stop trying to bring religious strife from South Asia to America” Meanwhile, every Indian origin democrat candidate in America has to pass the purity test of condemning India under Modi(even though it has nothing to do with the issues they’re running on) Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Arab Americans are never asked by far left Democrats to condemn their countries of origin despite having significantly worse human rights records
So according to you, the entire Cockroach Janta Party movement must be Islamofascist? And by your logic, if I criticize Trump even though GDP went up under him, I must be anti-Christian? Stop trying to bring religious strife from South Asia to America.

India's poverty reduction is the second biggest in world history, just behind China's. India is now growing at around 6.5%, which is about the same as China in 2014. Manufacturing is growing right along side services. More people should pay attention. noahpinion.blog/p/india-is-q…

If I said, live and on air: “Mehdi Hasan only moved to the US to sleep with white women!” Am I being Islamophobic? If yes, why does he laugh when it’s said about two Hindu men? What does that say about what he thinks of Hindus?

It's been 31 days since a white supremacist tried to shoot up a Hindu temple in Illinois. For the past several years, we've seen various videos & heard of incidents of Indian & Hindu Americans being attacked for their background by the far right. Now just a few days after Democrats smashed it in the midterms, far leftists are foisting the boogeyman of Hindu Nationalism as a threat to America, accusing Indian & Hindu Americans of importing extremism into America because of ??? Like not wanting to get shot or have discriminatory caste laws against us? The most ironic part of this is it comes off the back of news that India has lifted nearly 500 million people out of poverty since 2011. No clues as to who presided over this miraculous story. Truly insane stuff.

Quick reminder that Indians do not have the civics understanding to be truly called citizens of a democratic Republic Secularism is not a culture. It is the relationship between a gov and its people You can be Hindu and not strident about it. An individual cannot be secular
My culture is not Hindutva. Again 3 generations of my family have married out of caste. Your culture maybe right wing Hinduism but mine isn’t. My culture has always been culturally Hindu and politically secular.
