"CALL YOURSELF AN INDIAN INSTEAD OF A HINDU," SAYS THE SECULAR---HAHA! 🕉 HINDU!

This tendency to call oneself an Indian more than a Hindu is the signature of not a larger sympathy but of a disease called secularism that has come to affect, nay, afflict our elite citizenry who have barely any connection with the spiritual traditions of Sanatan Bharatvarsha. Rootless and unconcerned about the genuine traditions of our ancient civilisation, much wounded by Islamic and European invasion, these superficial socialists and surface sympathisers of everything that takes us away from our religiocultural roots to a legal identity thrust on us post the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution would have us believe that to be a Hindu is less than being an Indian, sectarian and segmented to a fault as it supposedly is, as opposed to the wholeness of being an Indian, not realising, though, that the word 'Hindu' not only encompasses the totality of national life as it is post-Independence but also embraces the gamut of cosmic living in every phase and dimension, leave aside just material national life. Hence, their argument, ill-informed and unfounded, falls flat. Period. 🕉 Hindu!
