Hindu unity is not against secularism, it's a necessity

Hinduism is a process and not a result, a growing tradition and not fixed revelation as in other faiths.

Deriding Hinduism and Hindu culture is fashionable. Indeed, nothing boosts the credentials of liberal Wokes than faulting Hinduism. Such a trend is not merely domestic but international. Suppose one seeks entry into the editorials or column sections of the likes of the New York Times or the Washington Post. In that case, one has to illustrate their contempt for Hindu culture. It is done through various versions of denunciations, be it social, economic, and, of course, political. Even the Khalistani extremists have Hinduphobia, an anti-thesis to what they were ordained to protect by their gurus. Are they more woke than really Khalistani and working for the Deep State among the western allies who came to support the hollow charges of Canada? When Iran calls for Islamic unity, no one is shocked, for according to the Wokes and the Deep State they control in the West, this is secular. Any call to Hindu unity is threatening to those who want secularism, when they themselves are not secular. India is a plural country. Hindu unity is good, for it has to transcend caste, which has taken its political avatars as well. But dealing with it seriously came from Babasaheb Ambedkar as well as Veer Savarkar.

MOVING BEYOND CASTE

The frequent censuring of critics of Hinduism usually surrounds casteism.

Before one gets more into this, it cannot be stressed enough-casteism is an evil practice, and it should be, as Dr Ambedkar says, "annihilated." Yet, what is astounding about the critics of Hinduism is their unique unawareness and unwillingness to see Hinduism beyond the confines of caste. More importantly, there is a general lack of awareness about the fact that caste is not a Hinduism-specific phenomenon.

Let's be clear, casteism is a South Asian phenomenon.
