As an american-born Indian (Hindu background), the Hindu nationalism truly saddens me.
There are many religions that are good until they get aggressive and radicalized, shinto-buddhism comes to mind, or Christianity and Judaism for that matter, and it’s a shame to see a religion meant to be based on peace and self-enlightenment turn into just another “I’m better than you because my parents were better than yours, ad infinitum!”
If you turn your sadness to curiousity and ask the question “who benefits?”, “who benefits from RSS-BJP’s Hindu supremacism?”, “who has been benefiting from 2014?” , your sadness will turn to anger.
The RSS-BJP is a Brahmin-Bania combine, they won’t do a thing without seeing personal benefit in it.
