Muslim hatred now underlines our religious celebration. Everyday our religion is being defiled. Everyday we are being robbed of our spiritual anchor by saffron goons.
lets pray together that all the children of this mystical land of ours are able to taste the fruit of spirituality. In this age of information, may we find what our forefathers truly valued , the love and mental peace through assimilation with surroundings.
I quote “ The many tentacled-Internet Hindu had risen. I was getting trolled for reporting on basic facts. I was being called words like sickular, liberandu etc etc. Similarly, other colleagues of mine were being called Sanghi and Chaddis. I was subliminally being trained to look at the world with a new lens. With colours. With slogans. Saffron.Red.Blue.Green. Bharat Mata ki Jai. Azaadi. Jai Bhim. I am not quite sure what the popular slogan for Green is though. The training was so deep that I could no longer look at people as individuals.”
And “ We, as Hindus cannot allow our religion to be sacrificed at the altar of petty politics and more importantly let it be used for the systemic exclusion, otherisation and increasingly what seems like extermination of a religious minority. The spiritual crisis of such bastardisation of our religion will leave Hindus anchor-less. In trying to excavate a mythical past and engineering a glorious ram-rajya, everyday we are denigrating the absolute beauty of what we have preserved, reformed, built and inherited from our ancestors.”
Appreciate your effort to “Speak up” against misrepresentation of Hindu religion we are brought up. An exception proves a rule/person right and not the otherwise. “ In whole Ramayana, Shri Ram used his bow and arrow only once with anger to dry the ocean (that too he has to accept the other method for the sake of other creatures) otherwise he was not angry even when his mother sent him to forest, when his wife was stolen, his brother got fatal injury.
This exception is accepted as his personality trait by RSS and root cause of all the hateful events. We treat whole world and it’s religions as our family वसुधेव कुटुम्बकम

Brilliant. No biases, just simple and plain truth. Increasingly, people are beginning to differentiate between religion and spirituality.
Spirituality is personal journey to find the truth within. By turning this personal journey into an organised event religion becomes pure politics.
Brave, bold, brilliant Somi. So grateful for this exploration of the political via the personal ❤️❤️❤️
Somi ,it such a complicated subject. Kudos to you for tackling it.
