محترمہ پربھا ✅Just another day in new India, Hindus not wanting a Muslim professor to teach Sanskrit. But Hindutva is different apparently 🙄
Amit Ramesan 🇮🇳Prabha, you are just doing the same thing the BJP is doing : conflating Hinduism and Hindutva.
Hindutva by itself is morally indefensible ; why allow it to hide behind Hinduism?
Agreed, Hinduism itself has a long way to go before we can create an egalitarian society in India.
The "boil the ocean" approach isn't going to work ; let's prioritize the struggle against Hindutva and save our nation first, over reform in Hinduism.
@AmitRamesan @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan
Please don’t do false equivalence. Hindutva ideology did not do this Hindus did this, same with many other things. Let’s stop pretending that majority Hindus are turning bigoted
Manny@Deepsealioness @AmitRamesan @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan We keep on denying, but everywhere FB, Twitter & WA groups, the story is the same. We label them as Hindutva, but all of them happen to be our own friends, colleagues & relatives. Just handful of Hindus who r openly calling out the hatred. V keep on saying 31% when almost the entire country voted for Modi with a massive mandate. It's time we recognize this. At the moment, I personally feel, all is lost and V r no different than the Nazis.
RAJESH KUMAR (@rkhuria)@cprogrammer @Deepsealioness @AmitRamesan @ranjona @KavitaKrishnan Don’t think all is lost. Given current state of Economy and Employment, economic arguments might appeal more to voters than purely a communal argument. We need to find innovative channels, circumventing traditional TV media, to communicate. Modi’s disastrous economic performance gives us a window of opportunity
@rkhuria @Deepsealioness @AmitRamesan @ranjona There is a video of victims of the PMC bank disaster. A small section of the crowd starts shouting "Chowkidar Chor Hai" and there is an immediate reaction from many other PMC bank victims who tell "Don't speak like that about or PM". He is not responsible and a fight breaks out between two sections of the demonstrators. Folks acknowledge the economic mess but still want to blame the Cong party for the mess. I have few other stories like this too.
@cprogrammer @Deepsealioness @AmitRamesan @ranjona Just btw I am PMC victim. That apart don’t go by one video. On Whatsapp I get regular videos of PMC customers shower ‘Modiji’ with choicest abuses. And with Economic growth plummeting, ppl are likely to have less money in hand and little job security. If we can’t convert this situation against Modi, we will never be able to. Modi has never been so vulnerable as now with Major nations faulting him on Kashmir
Thank you for your courage in speaking up in public, Sir ; @DilliDurAst made the same suggestion that we should avoid religious arguments in favour of less-emotive ones, like the economy.
On the economic front, what we are facing now is economic terrorism, आर्थिक आतंकवाद.
BTW, I feel that non-emotive arguments are necessary, but insufficient ; thus, the need to address the Hinduism-Hindutva dichotomy.
