#hinduphobia tw

[misalpav]

I think in light of recent events, it should come to attention for a lot more people that the western education system needs MASSIVE upheaval especially in the social sciences. "World history", as taught in the United States (because that's where I live and is the system I know best, but from what I've seen, most of the west is like this) is just a ruse at best to focus on Eurocentric history for 7 months and spend the 8th and 9th touching on literally everywhere else. Before anyone says it, no it's not because European history is more relevant to America because the parts of European history that are relevant to the USA are touched on extensively through the almost 3-4 years of US specific history classes I had. Meanwhile, real conflict that actually does affect our daily life because of internet and social media like Israel/Palestine, Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan, etc. were never mentioned and we were left shocked as those events transpired and rushed to learn about those histories.

I'm an Indian and a Hindu, so on that front I will also go ahead and say to America: what the absolute fuck? You had absolutely no qualms while teaching the practice of jauhar but couldn't mention that it was an act of desperation by women to salvage their dignity from the Muslim terrorists that wouldn't have wasted a second to r*pe or capture them. You went ahead and taught how Shah Jahan built the Taj Mahal because he was upset his wife died but failed to mention the countless native people he killed and temples he desecrated. But you could never mention the native Hindu temples in India that stump modern architects? You could mention Aurangzeb and the Delhi Sultanate but not Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj or Rani Rudramadevi because, according to you, the only important things that happened in India were the Muslim and British imperialists right? Then you wonder why, as a society, we struggle with hinduphobia and terrorist groups like the D*tbusters were given the confidence to exist but I don't actually think it's that surprising considering the narrative taught to children as early as middle and high school. Obviously, this narrative also expands to the countless other minorities that have their histories skewed like this, enabling continued bigotry. I think it's absolutely horrendous how the president of Harvard was able to say "it depends on the context" when it came to punishing antisemitism and still stay as faculty at the university with her high 6 figure salary. That kind of bullshit so high up in our educational structures is exactly what keeps fucking us over.

No, I'm not saying you need to go into the details for everything in the world either because that would be impossible, but what I am saying is history can and should be more equitable. In the United States, you can and should teach American history in detail and I have no issues with that (except for how "American history" itself is being watered down by politics and censorship but that's a whole other conversation), but I think 3 centuries after America got independence from the British, the fact that Henry VIII created a church j so he could divorce his first wife is just so unnecessary when people can't even distinguish the fact that Jesus was a Jew and Judaism is one of the oldest surviving religions and then use false information to hurl insults at the Jew community.

Obviously, a lot of what I said was addressed to America, but that definitely does not give the rest of the West a free pass.

It's been so fun blocking blogs that are crying "hinduphobia" on here. I'm glad y'all learnt how to pretend to be the victim and cry wolf all the time.

But it has been simultaneously exhausting and I'm fucking done with these assholes as well. Nobody is out to get you. But the people you're putting in power sure are trying to get others killed. Hindutva is a dirty word because of people like you.

R@pe of more than 30 hindoo women reported in one day.... Rest are unknown...

south asians, the internalized bigotry needs to stop. we don't need to come to the usa or any other country for that matter and lose any semblance of our culture/religion. we don't owe that to anyone. people are allowed to wear a kurta, bindi, jhumkas, hijabs, or any other kind of cultural clothing of their choice. accents take time to adjust to and nobody has to change it the second they step into another country. it's okay to be proud of religion, food, language, clothes, etc. people who don't conform immediately or at all for that matter should not have to expect discrimination. hell, we certainly don't owe it to western society to integrate into their lifestyle, especially in countries like usa and australia where white people themselves are immigrants. quit the self-hate and the hate on other south asians, it doesn't make you cool.

Hello! Hope you won't feel weird. I am a Hindu. And I want to find a safe place in your blog. I feel there so much hate against hindus...and not just that...there is so much religious hate...moreover political parties campaign in the name of religion and has done nothing but bring more hate. I am afraid if I call myself a hindu I'll be called out as Sanghi fascist and homophobic :( in reality I am not anyone of them. I dont get why..when I accept people, they don't accept me as who I am.

And if you dont want to respond to this understand :) I hold no grudge against you. I just want to rant to someone. Hope I can also be there for you when you feel down :)

Thanks

Hi! i'm so sorry that you have to be worried about hiding your religion like this! i will agree on all the points you made, it's sad honestly :( but in this community as far as i've seen, i haven't really encountered hate for being a hindu, since you can practice the religion and have ur own opinions at the same time, so i don't think religion should be the basis of a person's opinion. u can definitely find my blog if u ever need comfort, and i hope u have a great day 💞

[shut-up-rabert]

You know what makes me angry? People who shamelessly hide information for the sake of their propaganda.

The Ny times articles regarding Ayodhya verdict (which were conviniently written by american leftist muslims) wrote about how it was islamophobic and BJP oriented of the Supreme Court to decide on giving the land to us.

No mention of the Sikh memoirs proving that the temple was demolished to make the mosque. No mention of the ASI report that proved that a non islamic structure complete with statues was found underneath. No mention of how important the temple is to the hindus or how many went away without getting to see the day they worship their beloved Ram Lalla. No mention of how their was no muslim prayers being offered there from since 50 years before and how the structure was being used as a makeshift temple.

An article regarding the Ayodhya verdict can water down all the crucial information about a religious temple that is nothing short of Mecca or Bethlehem to me to focus on the side they favour losing just another (abandoned) mosque.

But it is islamophobia, yes.

So Unmesh Kohle's Muslim friend too had a play in killing him over his post for supporting Nupur. Now his friend wasn't some uneducated muslim go on but his friend for 16 years. Unmesh had even given 1 lakh to him for his daughter's marriage and helped him financially for other matters yet when it came to his beloved prophet, he didn't bat an eyelid and killed his friend.

16 years of friendship. Let that sink in.

I am sorry but after this hindus are going to find it difficult to trust even the good Muslims now.

I love how a book can coax a friend to kill another friend.

To the man accused, I hope you never find your jannat

I don’t give a flying fuck what your political opinions are, go see The Kashmir Files if you haven’t, especially if you’re a non-Kashmiri. There are no politics when it comes to genocide or terrorism. It’s incredibly eye-opening and the makers of the movie might be right wingers but that doesn’t fucking matter because for once Kashmiri Pandit voices aren’t being silenced and their stories are finally being told. That being said it is quite a graphic movie and there may be some very visually triggering material (especially towards the end), so just keep that in mind if you choose to go. And check my bestie @lil-stark’s blog for more about why this movie is so important

I love how they say this:

“i love hinduism”

And then this:

But then ALSO!! THIS:

AND on top of being a homophobe cuz they called Modi gay as an insult:

Hypocrite much?

TW: Hinduphobia, Talks of casteism, this is not written properly because I'm just too furious to care for that and if you're going to call me an Islamophobe or casteist for this, just shut tf and don't read it or block me.

I tried avoiding making a post about this but over the last few days, I have come across more than a few horrid posts by @/ibadatttttt all Hinduphobic in nature, I usually try to stay away from such stuff but not only are their posts ignorant but also hurtful, say whatever the fuck you want about Modi but literally stooping the low level of calling someone's god a r***st is horrendous, idc if I appear 'snowflakey' but that's ignorant and if I was anywhere physically close to the person running the blog I'd straight up break their nose with no regrets. I am going to say this once and never again: Hinduism did NOT have the caste system. We built it! And it is a horrid thing and I (along with a majority of other Indians I'm sure) want nothing more than to stop the horrific treatment that Dalits go through, but I do not support caste based reservation but that does not mean I'm a casteist, I've talked about why I think an economy based system would be much more viable but I respect the people who support the former as long their views are presented properly, without bringing my religion into this mess. Originally Hinduism had a system where movement from one caste to another was allowed and encouraged, there wasn't a 'Brahmin ka beta Brahmin' system in place but we changed that so that's on us and not the religion we follow so if the ignorant mass could please fucking educate themselves on this topic before saying shit that'd be really nice.

And if any of you agrees with posts like this you really need to dunk your head in the toilet fr, I am my own person and if I want to worship cows or monkeys or idols that's my fucking business! You don't want to do it? Don't do it!

And it's gomutra not cow piss you ignorant pig, I can't find the post where they called Krishna ji a r***st but that shit exists too like-?! I'm so appalled at this point honestly, how did we on Tumblr go from discussing gol gappas to this? Presenting your views is fine as long as you don't bring someone's religious views into it. Modi sucks, ok, and having a complete Hindu rashtra is the exact opposite of the secular belief that India was set upon but if you think dragging people's religion down is the way to go about it, you're the same. The base of all religions is the same! We're legit grown ups, we're living in the 21st century, wtf is wrong with people?! Do we need to sit down and talk about basic manners and etiquettes all over again?

[misalpav]

people who've clearly never read a hindu text in their life (and actually understood it) that say things against the culture based on the two things they've seen online from extremists are the fucking worst

[eileenguy]

i hate that people (re: Hindus) here will celebrate Ramnavmi and other holidays by attacking Muslim businesses and Muslims who just had the misfortune of, idk, living in the same neighborhood. there are students being beaten, there vegetable vendors who have to endure sanghi goons destroying their carts and produce while the police sits and watches. And y'all still have the audacity to complain about hinduphobia.

[ramayantika]

Pakistani extremists now attacking Hindus in UK??! Wtf do these guys want? Why even after so many centuries, they are so hell bent on torturing and converting Hindus. In a country like UK they were shouting to kill Hindus and impregnate women. How come is this happening in UK?

I have a friend who is going there for her medical college and I am terrified if she gets stuck in something like that in the near future. She is going to be all alone there. Is any country for Hindus safe anymore?

What have we done to you all?

So called media keeps quiet and says this is all islamophobic news. Be tolerant be secular. Secular?

Yes, when they kill my people, rape women and murder children, I will be called secular.

Aise hi Pakistan mein log pareshan hai due to the floods, countries are sending help and donations to Pakistan and this is what we get?

Kis chiz ka khaunf hai bhai inko ki they scream and cry about being minorities? Din dahade sirr kaat dete ho, ladki ne mana kar diya rishte se toh jala daal dete ho, zabardasti ka convert karna ya nahi mana toh sidha maar dena

Konsi jannat ke khwab dekh rahe ho?

[janetsnakehole02]

Stan Charithra Chandran for being the only one speaking up on this

This is a serious issue, Navratri has not been “happy” for everyone celebrating it. Bengali Hindus have been getting slaughtered and no one is saying SHIT. I’m so tired of it. Stop pretending like Hinduphobia isn’t real.

[suvarnarekha]

honestly when this horrifyingly happens under our noses,

i don't even blame people for not raising their voices. cowardice is the new safe haven now.

[misalpav]

you don't understand the makers of the kerala story speared propaganda against islam and kerala and you are navie lured to hindu fanaticism

first of all, if you're denying the existence of ISIS conversions in Kerala and the larger India then, the Observer Research Foundation published, in a 2019 report, that between 60-70 individuals in Kerala joined ISIS between 2014-18. Also, the NIA has entered various times into Kerala due to suspects of ISIS interactions. ISIS has existed in India for a while now and denying it would require your eyes to be closed.

You're saying that this movie is against Islam and Kerala but from where I stand, it's a movie against ISIS. That's something I will support to the end, both as someone who's lived through the repercussions of 9/11/2001 and the fact that they are literally a salafi jihadist terrorist organization. Anyone minus a few select people who went and watched TKS today are making conclusions about the entire movie from a short teaser/trailer clip, which, many times, isn't even an accurate portrayal of a movie. People who watched the full movie in the Kerala Supreme Court themselves had refused to restrict the release of the movie on the same premise of being against ISIS, not Islam.

Obviously, the biggest argument being made right now, and one I'm 100% expecting you to bring up if you choose to come back into my asks, is the figure of 32K conversions in Kerala. I don't believe in that number. What I do believe in though, is that The Kerala Story is a mere movie. All these people arguing against this movie claim to be "secularists". News flash, any film in a secular industry is gonna be dramatized because in a secular industry people look for viewership and how to make any small story compelling be it through caricature or exaggeration. As far as I care, people can consume whatever media they want and then are responsible for researching and fact-checking on their own. Quick examples of this that I can think of are the Netflix TV show Narcos where they antagonized a supposed "judy moncada" who was completely made up, and The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, a supposed retelling of events in the Vietnam war that he later concedes wasn't accurate apart from the emotion. Authors, writers, and any other artist for that matter take creative liberties in storytelling. I don't know how or why people are taking this so seriously. Congratulations you can do your research!

Now in terms of being a "navie" that's lured into Hindu fanaticism, what's naive about loving a culture that's been here for centuries that resulted in the construction of beautiful architecture and tells the some of the most enthralling stories? If anyone called any of the Abrahmic religions fanatical, they'd immediately be pegged as islamophobic, christianophobic, etc, why can't Hindus get the same respect? Honestly, the one common trait in any land with foreigners is the sheer lack of respect for natives and it shows, be it India, the USA, Australia, etc. I'd highly recommend you get a reality check on yourself.
