    I don’t think many people outside of India understand how Indian Islam is designed to torture Hindus in ways that are distinct from other countries. And then when Hindus in India don’t want to live among Muslims it becomes “Islamophobic Hindutva” Islamism is psychological

    Audrey Truschke cannot answer to the question of scholarly ethics and intellectual honesty. She relies on the authority invested in her by the Academy, without an iota of the reflexivity that the contemporary Academy demands. 1/n

    Don't tell me what Zohran Mamdani's victory means for me as a "South Asian" New Yorker. I am a lifelong liberal New Yorker. I grew up in Westchester, and I've lived in the city since 1997. I love this messy place. I believe in our particular spirit and expressions of democracy,

    Britain: (Steals $45 trillion from India.) Missionaries: You all poor because you need some Jesus. Hindus: Didn’t you all have Jesus? Then why did you need to steal from us? Missionaries: Here’s some rice.

    Since it's Mahashivaratri....an oldie but a goodie... When I was in elementary school in the early 80's in the suburbs of NY, I was pretty much the only Indian kid in my grade. I was also the only vegetarian and the only Hindu.

    Yoga is inclusive because Hinduism is inclusive. Not because yoga is irreligious. Some Hindus attempt to illustrate Hinduism’s inclusivity by throwing Hinduism under the bus and claiming yoga isn’t Hindu. The yoga industrial complex weaponizes this against us. #YogaIsHinduism

    You know who the *real* phishing victims are? Indian students who are forced to learn and regurgitate the unsubstantiated claims made in NCERT textbooks. That’s a much more important and insidious scam to focus on. With real victims.

    What in the Hinduphobic hell is this? How on earth is this okay? Hindu American temples being vandalized and SNL thinks it’s funny to make Hinduism out to be a satanic cult. This is terrible. @nbcsnl has been an insult to its own comedic past for a long time. But this is

    Much of the outrage about the Kerala temple barring Mansiya VP’s performance reflects total ignorance about the ontology of kovils and that Bharatanatyam is a form of worship. A kovil is not a public space for performance, delight, or congregation. It is the abode of the Deity.

    Here's the thing. Kamala Harris doesn't identify as Hindu. Her name is Hindu. She has Hindu roots. But she is a practicing Baptist. (There is no way this Christian Supremacist nation is ready for a non-Christian person in the executive branch.)
