Great insight. 90% of the the people won't even read beyond the first paragraph as they just don't want to except any other truth than the one they already believe in
Had it been that the majority not have been systematically attacked at their core and defanged, their systems uprooted and their beliefs made fun of at the cost of westerners fashions and limited understanding, I would have possibly agreed. It doesn’t matter but the public are not idiots or stupids.
When a banana, in a bunch of bananas, starts going black...there is no helping the other bananas, eat them up while they still hold good. Sometimes civilizations and religions lose charm like this....becoming as bad as the already bad.
Dear eminent Dr Tharoor: if you really are accepting of all perspectives as valid, you better accept the so called “illiberal Hinduism,” as you call it. That term belongs only to people like you. Btw, these new fangled terms didn’t exist back then, when the Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, and Itihaasas were first spoken, when no one knows. Sanatanam makes clearcut no-nonsense recommendations for good and Dharmic living. Its wise to follow those recommendations. Its unwise and misleading to call Hinduism a free for all, ok-to-do-whatever-you-want framework.

The court verdict clearly said there was no direct evidence that a temple was demolished to build the Babri Masjid. It was clearly given based on Aastha. It also ruled that the demolition of the Babri Masjid (1992) and the placing of idols inside the mosque (1949) were illegal acts in violation of the law.
Hinduism is definitely not what now a days it is preached as,if one would have read VEDAS,they wouldn’t have used the word SANATAN DHARMA in the way it is actually used now a days with orange colour (saffron),
Sanatan means “endless”, and i bet most of the people do not know what the deities in our religion actually represent,if you would preach something like that,whats written in Vedas now a days,they will label you as “Anti hindu”.
Also for Islam if we talk,they are also told to respect all religions,but they also somehow are in a pride that ours is the only religion and teachings which are correct.
If even a single person amongst those who fight on the name of religions,would have actually well verse themselves on religion,nothing if this would have existed,and we would have been much much developed and progressive.
Being Hindu is merely a way of life! Interacting with a multitude of people from different religions, cultures & backgrounds knowing we are all a spark of the same divinity. That’s what makes me tick as a Hindu.
But in my opinion, Hindu's are not that liberal as we think. Opening arms for other religions are okay but they need to understand that not everyone thanks Hindus for their genuineness.

Every religion should be respected except Islam..

Extremism in any form is the worst (I would know, I am a Muslim 😒)

Now I was to learn every religion, and connect it to humanity to bring all the humans together, instead of all the war going on
This how I have known Hindu religion. Open and all embracing. Excellent article
