Hindutva literally means being Hindu or Hindu-ness.
How tf is that a negative thing?
We Hindus are proud of our heritage, culture, religious history and scholarly achievements.
How is that an evil thing?
We are decolonising and reclaiming the religious sites which were stolen from us. We are rebuilding those sites with our own money and celebrating their restoration.
How is that hurting anyone? How is that wrong?
Hindus have always believed in the sentiment of live and let live, of living together as one family (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam). We have welcomed into our fold many different communities and peoples, like the Parsis (Zoroastrians) when they were persecuted and forced to leave their homeland Persia, the Jews (Bene Israelis, Baghdadis, Cochin Jews, Bnei Menashe, Bene Ephraims, etc.), the Tibetans when they were persecuted and their homeland stolen by China, even the Christians and Muslims from different parts of the world when they came to trade here. We have cohabited peacefully with people of other faiths, like Sikhs, Buddhists and Jains, who are so close to us that we intermarry frequently and don't even consider it an interfaith relationship.
Hindus, for the most part, are inherently welcoming people, open and accepting of others as long as they don't try to stifle us or impose their religious beliefs on us. We believe in being nonviolent as long as we aren't pushed into a corner, as long as we're given space to practice our religion, as long as we're not forced to bend so much that we break.
If the Hindus are attacked, if attempts are made to erase or subjugate our religion, then obviously we'll respond in kind. It's the simple concept of self defence.
In the end, I shouldn't even need to state this overtly, but obviously there are bad apples in every cart, and people from every community commit wrongs. But it doesn't define a community. We condemn such wrong acts and will continue to do so. But calling all Hindus or Hindutva itself evil because of a few bad apples is not only illogical, it reeks of prejudice and preconceived hatred. That's when it becomes Hinduphobia.

hello, i have a request for help! looking for Hindi or Urdu terms of endearment a mother would use for a son-- I just reblogged a long list, but I'm not sure which to use because I don't know which ones have slightly (or extremely) romantic connotations, or are usually gender-specific, or denote specific familial connections in actual cultural practice. can you reply or DM me if you're willing to help? i'm not going to like, outright vet/ask anyone who replies, but i'd PREFER help from native speakers or those with extensive cultural background.
thank u in advance!

Dr. K. K. Muhammed, the Indian archaeologist who served as the Regional Director of the Archaeological Survey of India. He was heavily involved in the excavations done at the site of Babri masjid, and he was the first to ask Muslims to hand over the Babri Masjid area to Hindus after finding evidence that the mosque was built on the remains of a Hindu temple.
Please listen to what he has to say about Hindus.

Krishna: " Kaalo Kaalo korish ne lo
O Gowaler Jhi
Amai Bidhaata korechhe kaalo
Ami korbo ki?"
[Translation: Don't call me dark
O Milkmaid
The Supreme has made me dark
What can I do?]
Meanwhile all of us who know that He is the Supreme: 🤔🤔🤔

Folk Goddesses of Bengal
বনবিবি (rom. Bonbibi)
In the sparse region that confines the largest mangrove forest on Earth is the Sundarbans. The delta of the mighty Ganga, Brahmaputra and the sisterly Meghna is the region of co-existence between man and the wild. Bonbibi is the protectress of the forest, the wild, the bees, the birds, and the people. She represents the bounty of the forest, and her foe the tiger king Dakhin Rai, the hazards of the same. Her fierce battle with the evil Dakhin Rai has been inspirations for many. She doesn't differentiate between who pray to her, the hindu, muslim, christian. Just as the forest doesn't differentiate between who it welcomes, or who it discards. The forest, and the rivers form the livelihood for the forest dwellers, who pray to the mistress of bees, tigers and the creatures of the forest before embarking of their daily hunt for bread. However, the goddess has one condition, for she is the mother of all of the forest,
"Take what you require, not more not less. Don't harm the forest, and no harm must come to you."
A simple norm by which those who enter the delta, must abide by. A simple norm, which we all must abide by.
