TW: Rape, violent language, islamphobia.

On Slide 3 you can see the vile genocidal fantasies of hindutva ghouls towards grieving Palestinian mothers and children, and yet they'll whine about safety of Hindu women just to demonize Muslim men. Please remember every accusation from the Hindutva genocidal majority is a confession.

This is what hindutvavadis - even the soft sanghis here on tumblr - support and align themselves with. This is what they believe and what they vote for.

nri/diaspora use hinduism and play off Orientalism to scam the west. these saffron robed thieves offer the sanitized mystical version of hinduism to rope and attract capital to support the fascists and it is effective.

On Suspicion Of Being Muslim

[lettersfromthelevant]

begging people to learn the difference between atheism and anti-theism. you can be an atheist without being insanely disrespectful towards minority religions and ethno-religions; it's really not that hard.

if you wanna criticize christianity, you can do so without lumping in innocent people from other cultures; especially those that are actively harmed by the same christian hegemonic ideas you claim to fight against.

See I don't know if I should support the ban of The Kerala Story or not. On one hand it acts like a catalyst that further tries to incite hate and divide on communal and religious lines. It absolutely is a propaganda in a atmosphere where islamophobia is rampant and where the nationalist hindutva freaks are constantly looking for anything and everything to justify their hate. But my question is won't this ban be politicized and used as "see! They want to hide something! That's why they are suppressing our voice and banning the film under the guise of secularism!" Etc etc. Besides what about a free media? But then again after what people have done with The Kashmir Files, where the violence that happened was exaggerated and the exaggeration then got used to instill a feeling of being at war with a religious community, it doesn't take much to conclude that the Kerala story too is a work of the same political genre. So I personally don't know what to say. Like in the US you have copaganda. Is it better to ban those shows? Or to let it run but form your own educated decisions.

Can it even be compared because in India it is a propaganda against a community and the resulting boiled over pots would be riots and targeted assaults on the people of the community

Notes on my going out one Sunday last month (11 August).

• First, I attended a meeting of a social group for bearish men held at the Bowery/East Village site of the National Theatre. One of the participants with us for the first time was a man whose parents were Frisian immigrants from the Netherlands. Due to the recent Olympics opening ceremony, he mentioned in conversation that Leonardo da Vinci seems likely to have been gay, and another participant used the beautiful statue of David as supporting evidence thereof, so we had to remind him it is a work by Michelangelo, not Leonardo.

• Unlike what I usually do, I took virtually no photographs in Manhattan. I looked at the outdoor offerings at two bookshops (on Broadway and on Fourth Avenue) but bought no book. I did, however, buy low‐carbohydrate ice cream before heading home.

• Exiting my local subway station, I encountered a demonstration on the 37th Road Pedestrian Plaza against the recent violence in Bangladesh against Hindus.

It was also never called a Swastika. It was called a Hakenkreuz. The New York Times mistakenly referred to it as a Swastika and it stuck.

People want to talk about cultural appropriation, what Hitler did to Hinduism is a perfect example of that. But instead leftists want to blame us for the Nazis existing instead of Hitler doing to our culture what weebs do to the Japanese.

You know exactly what I mean. Star of David (which has become the modern day swastika), signs with Hebrew, and honestly sorry if you don’t like it but yarmukas too. I’m not going to go up to every person in a yarmuka and make sure they’re not a genocidal maniac, it’s safer to assume they are because in all likelihood they are. If you don’t like it then tell your community to stop supporting genocide

oh ok so full mask off jew hatred then cool.

Hindu Bashing an Electoral Strategy! #Hindu, #Brahmin, #Sanatana Dharma

Sanatana Dharma and Hindus are not the flavor of the month this pre election season. Some are comparing Sanatana Dharma with infectious disease that needs eradication, others are announcing proudly that the I.N.D.I Alliance of opposition parties is created to eradicate Sanatana Dharma and the Hindus. Anti Brahmin sentiment is nothing new in Tamil Nadu, Indian state where the passion is being…

THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN NEW INDIA

IT TOOK the video of a horrific attack on two women to bring the world’s attention to the persecution endured by many of India’s Christians. Demonstrators hold a banner during a rally in solidarity with the Christians of Manipur state, in Ahmedabad, India, Sunday, July 23, 2023. The video captures the harrowing ordeal endured by the women in Manipur state in the north west of India on May 4.…

everyday i see clueless westerners (especially white people) peddle thinly veiled hindutva propaganda which they wouldn't know cause they know absolutely nothing about what goes on in india. so here are some signs that that the person you're talking to is a hindu nationalist:

they either do not acknowledge casteism or claim that caste is a western construct. my personal favourite however is dismissing anyone bringing up caste discrimination by saying that the indian constitution outlaws untouchability. they may also bring up the fact that the prime minister belongs to an other backwards class (obc) so clearly india has moved on from caste and hindutva isn't only for the upper castes. they possess a shallow understanding of caste

harping on about "islamic colonisation" : no, the mughals did not colonise india. when you point this out, they will immediately assume that you think muslim invaders were innocent beings who did nothing wrong, which is very much not what anyone is claiming here

while we're on the topic of "islamic colonisation" they will also refer to the demolishing of muslim sites of heritage and worship and then building hindu temples over them as "decolonisation" (cough cough ram mandir) the hindu right also goes around pretending that they're the indigenous people of india

along a similar vein, they will dismiss islamophobia by bringing up instances of hindu oppression in countries like pakistan and bangladesh. it is true that hindus are persecuted in these two countries, however they are used to fuel their oppression complex, that their upper caste hindu self is under attack in india of all places (think a white christian in the united states). you should be in solidarity with minorities everywhere. it is neither transactional or conditional (note: they will never bring up sri lanka. persecution of hindus exists only when the oppressors are muslim)

claiming that hindu nationalism and hindutva are not the same because hindutva means "hindu-ness". that is only the literal translation of the term. like it or not, they're the same thing

they support the indian military occupation of kashmir. they will call it an integral part of kashmir, one reason which will be "hinduism is indigenous to kashmir." they will also bring up the last maharaja of kashmir signing the instrument of accession as further proof, as if the consent of the people was taken

they're zionists. do i even need to explain this. hindutva is just zionism for hindus

they refer to buddhism and jainism (sikhism too sometimes) as branches of hinduism rather than separate, distinct religions

they condemn any resistance to the indian govt as a burden or terrorism (like calling the farmers who are currently protesting a hindrance or terrorists. funny how sikhs are the same as hindus when they support hindu causes but terrorists when they resist oppression...)

they call you a pseudo liberal or a fake leftist. i'm telling you, they don't know jackshit. they can't even tell the difference between a liberal and a leftist and call US unread lmao. bonus points if they call you a liberandu or a sickular 💀

they call india "bharat" when they talk in english. there are in fact multiple indian languages that call india bharat or bharatam, but if they say bharat while talking in english, that is absolutely a hindu nationalist no questions asked

please do your due diligence. read up on hindutva. hindu nationalists have already started making gains in the united states, thanks to rich upper caste nris. do not fall for propaganda

Time To Break Up India

India under BJP shouldn't dream of Akhand Bharata, but of further division.
