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”
Tumblr media
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 :
Tumblr media
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

The section of the BBC film that the government of India has acted most outraged about was the revelation of an internal report commissioned by the British Foreign Office in April 2002, so far unseen by the public. The fact-finding report estimated that “at least 2,000” people had been murdered. It called the massacre a preplanned pogrom that bore “all the hallmarks of ethnic cleansing”. It said reliable contacts had informed them that the police had been ordered to stand down. The report laid the blame squarely at Modi’s door. It was chilling to see the former, but obviously still cautious, British diplomat who was one of the investigators on the fact-finding mission choosing to remain anonymous, with his back to the camera.
[...]
Though The Modi Question was broadcast exclusively for a British audience, and limited to the UK, it was uploaded by viewers on YouTube and links were posted on Twitter. It lit up the internet. In India, students received warnings not to download and watch it. When they announced collective screenings in some university campuses, the electricity was switched off. In others, police arrived in riot gear to stop them watching. The government instructed YouTube and Twitter to delete all links and uploads. Those sterling defenders of free speech hurried to comply. Some of my Muslim friends were baffled. “Why does he want to ban it? The Gujarat massacre has always helped him. And we’re in an election year.”

What the hell's going on in India? What's the BJP? What's Hindutva? What's Modi? And why am I suddenly hearing all of this right now and not then?
I've been reblogging posts for several days regarding the war that's going on currently, but I have never heard of this going on in India until now.

no but adipurush is so fucking funny to me. they made a movie about sri ram SPECIFICALLY to get the hindutva mobs to show up to the theater and make bank with their 700 crore budget. they cast veteran actors like Saif Ali Khan and powerful action heroes like Prabhas (i've neer seen anything of Kriti Sanon but i think she's good too). the director was also not horrible as in he had won filmfare awards earlier.
and it's such a clusterfuck that it's not even funny anymore. the actors are getting sexist and islamophobic trolls at them for daring to explore a FICTIONAL take on the Ramayana. the cgi is so bad that it makes me miss Magadheera. the script fits with the phantom menace and The Room. they had every ingredient needed to make a good propaganda film and they blew it so hard. what the fuck.

Kashmir has been colonized by the Indian state since 1947, but recent changes demonstrate how it is increasingly becoming a settler-colonial project.
As opposed to classic colonialism that aims to unlawfully retain control of a territory, take advantage of its resources, and deny its people self-determination, settler-colonialism seeks to acquire land so that colonists can settle permanently and form new communities in what they see as their new “home.”
In Kashmir, we have seen a combination of classic as well as settler-colonial strategies.

(New York) – Indian authorities are revoking visa privileges to overseas critics of Indian origin who have spoken out against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government’s policies, Human Rights Watch said today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi often attends mass gatherings of diaspora party supporters in the United States, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere to celebrate Indian democracy, while his government has targeted people it claims are “tarnishing the image” of the country.
The Overseas Citizens of India (OCI) status is available to foreign citizens of Indian origin or foreigners married to Indian nationals to obtain broad residency rights and bypass visa requirements, but does not amount to citizenship. Many of those whose OCI visa status was revoked are Indian-origin academics, activists, and journalists who have been vocal critics of the BJP’s Hindu majoritarian ideology. Some have challenged their exclusion in Indian courts on constitutional grounds seeking protection of their rights to speech and livelihood.
“Indian government reprisals against members of the diaspora who criticize the BJP’s abusive and discriminatory policies show the authorities’ growing hostility to criticism and dialogue,” said Elaine Pearson, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “The authorities seem intent on expanding politically motivated repression against Indian activists and academics at home to foreign citizens of Indian origin beyond India’s borders.” (Human Rights Watch)

“We recognize that this is the most powerful medium, which controls minds, which influences the opinions of people,” he said. “A film is a mirror of society,” he went on—a tired, tedious idea, although it struck me that the Hindu right, to obtain the precise reflection it wants, is recasting not just society but also the mirror itself.

A recent report by Oxfam India showed the rich accumulating a greater share of wealth in recent years, while economists like Jean Dreze have found the rest to have seen no growth in their real wages (adjusting for inflation); and the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy has been constantly reporting increased levels of unemployment. The rich are still able to afford to vote based on issues of identity whipped up by the BJP, while the poor – forced to choose between issues of identity and welfare – are choosing the latter. This is why the ire of the rich has turned towards welfare politics.

शब्द "एलियन" आम तौर पर उन प्राणियों या संस्थाओं को संदर्भित करता है जो पृथ्वी के बाहर से उत्पन्न हुए हैं। वैज्ञानिक दृष्टिकोण से मनुष्य को पृथ्वी पर एलियन नहीं माना जाता है। होमो सेपियन्स, वह प्रजाति जिससे मनुष्य संबंधित है, पृथ्वी पर विकसित हुई और ग्रह पर सभी जीवन रूपों के साथ एक समान वंश साझा करती है।
