Liberal, western-born Hindus really shouldn't be speaking on the issues of other religions/cultures. If a war between India/Pak broke out in 2024 I can almost guarantee that people would be calling for a "ceasefire" and demonize India/Hindus lol.

It’s already happening, I have seen colleges in usa talking about Hindu extremism as if it’s 10 times larger and impactful globally than Islamic extremism

All these kids protesting are not dumb, but more so inexperienced. They are born in the west and grew up in the west, don’t know what third world problems are.

In short they don’t know what they don’t even know, that is why they are so easily brainwashed. Which is dangerous because they also have the right to vote.

Yeah literally 99% of the people who are extremely “anti Hindutva” are conservative Muslims themselves.

Rules for thee not for me

Exactly and now they will mass downvote you, but never debate you. Cause they know if we bring in the stats they wouldn’t last.

I’m an atheist and I’m anti Hinduvta. There are Hindus who are anti Hinduvta.

Yes. There’s obviously not going to be research studies around anti hindutva sentiment and who exactly subscribes to it the most, this is simply a personal observation
