Is Hinduism in Danger?
This was a question posed by a pseudo-secularist commentator on Facebook. The answer is an emphatic yes.
1.) There is a concerted effort in the West and in the Indian pseudo-intellectual circles to marginalize Hinduism. Post Modernist nonsense crept into Indian History, Social sciences and even economics went totally left of center. Every narrative then hence blames Hinduism for the root cause when it is actually social structure and economics. Indira Gandhi sold the Indian narrative to the left. Wendy Doniger would not dare to write the same kind of nonsense she wrote about Hinduism to other religions and especially Judaism which is her faith. In any case, the narrative was biased and has to be taken back to a more moderate view and it may even swing to the other side to compensate for the nonsense peddling of the last 50 years. Ever wonder why nobody wants to send their kids to JNU and the quality of scholarship coming out of it sucks.
2.) The NGO’s (both Western and Islamic) started to attack Hinduism directly and leveraged the plight of the downtrodden when the root cause was not religion but the existing political apparatus which had a vested interest in preserving the status quo. Ever wonder why the NGO’s never show up when there is a crisis and the RSS do come as volunteers.
3.) Historically, especially in Bengal and Congress rule, in the case of a riot, the Hindus would get punished and the minorities would get scot-free. All vote bank political strategies
4.) The attacks on India by Pakistan (26/11 and others) shook the country by its brutality. And reminded that right at the border there is a group with a genocidal agenda clearly published of its intent and supported by a state that said Hinduism needs to be destroyed and foreign agencies from the Vatican to the Methodist church suggesting that they will do it non-violently.
5.) The constant demands of special privileges by groups who owed allegiance to Rome and Mecca did not sit well either. The Sabarimala hypocrisy and sham just confirmed all the above.
6.) It seems that the rules are always different and the constant shaming of Hinduism about caste/Dalits when the same argument could be made of other religions (Islam was the last to let go of slavery, Apartheid and Segregation were justified using the bible).
7.) The media in India NDTV/Hindu are all leftist in their outlook and are adept at shaming India because that is the narrative that sells to their base. Barkha Dutt, Nidhi Razdan and N.Ram personify this self serving narrative. There is no money to be made in calling out a good India.
8.) India is a country surrounded by genocidal neighbors. China to the North, Pakistan to the West and Bangladesh/Burma to the east and to some extent Sri Lanka for their slaughter of Muslims. All these countries have devious intent against India in some form or the other.
9.) Pramila Jaypal and Ro Khanna (US Democratic Congress members)who are anti-Hindu and anti-India have been sponsoring legislation which aims to cripple India economically. It is a shame that the Indian community has been steadfastly democratic party affiliated and this may be shifting.
10.) And lastly the useful idiots of Hinduism, who post anti-Hindu memes as if the secular aura would make them cool. This group will destroy Hinduism whereas the others have tried it for a millennia. This one irks me more than any other.
