A 100-strong mob surrounded the police station in Delhi’s GTB Nagar for several hours and raised provocative slogans as the pastor and injured persons reached to file their complaint.

    I’m not OP, but why do you keep calling these people “Hindu” supremacists? They are just extremists and terrorists, not Hindus at all.

    One of the core beliefs in Hinduism is ahimsa, ie, non-violence. Practicing ahimsa is extremely important for a Hindu, in order to achieve their ultimate goal of moksha (escape from the cycle of reincarnation) by accumulating good karma.

    Anyone who doesn’t practice ahmisa isn’t qualified to be called a Hindu. Since they’re not a Hindu, it’s wrong to call them “Hindu supremacists”, when there is no “Hindu” in them.

      They call themselves Hindu and they follow Hindutva, the Hindu supremacist ideology. They say their cause is to create a Hindu rashtra (a Hindu nation). Their entire personality is built around the symbols & rituals & gods of Hinduism. If Hindus don’t want their religion to be tarnished by association with these extremists and terrorists, then they should so something concrete to stop Hindu supremacists from calling themselves Hindu.

      When they stop calling themselves Hindu, I’ll also stop calling them Hindu supremacists.

              I dare you to walk up to a Hindu supremacist (whether you’re in India or outside) and tell them they’re not Hindu. I would advie you to have good medical/ life insurance, just in case they don’t buy your “the spiritual Hindu package”.

              I’m Indian and everyday we see Hindu supremacists creating terror with state backing. I know what I’m talking about, because I live it.
