@UPGovt govt has mishandled the situation around shankaracharya of Jyotirmutt. There shouldn’t be any second thought with respect to upholding the sanctity of that position. @myogiadityanath

At least we should try pacify Jagadguru and do the damage control. @blsanthosh @RSSorg

Good piece, Adit. You clearly explain why calling Hindutva “majoritarian” is misleading. It is about identity and continuity, not domination.

Thanks for stating it simply. @IndicSocietee

UPDATE from Calcutta Club -

The speakers for the motion, particularly Mani Shankar Iyer and @MahuaMoitra, stayed true to form. A heady cocktail of arrogance, selective history and personal diatribes, ensuring their time was spent more on sermonising than substantiating.
Ms Moitra, in a moment of intellectual self goal, attempted to paint Hinduism as comfortably non vegetarian and Hindutva as rigidly vegetarian. A theory that collapsed under its own weight when she invoked Gandhi’s Hinduism (Gandhi being a staunch vegetarian), while conveniently forgetting that Savarkar, the most vocal proponent of Hindutva, was an atheist and a meat eater. The House, rather sportingly, even recalled the delightful anecdote of Savarkar cooking prawns when Gandhi visited him in London. Reality, as usual, proved inconvenient.
@ashutosh83B, sadly, seemed to be debating a motion that only existed in his head. A complete disconnect from both subject and audience, marred by weak articulation and arguments that struggled to locate either logic or coherence.

@tishasaroyan started with promise but quickly wandered into an entirely different TED Talk on ancient Hindu history and Sanatan Dharma. The actual motion was left abandoned at the altar, while we were treated to an oddly abrasive, patronising monologue delivered with the self certainty of the only “real historian” in the room.
Fortunately, @KunalCardiac played the role of the reality check, puncturing the self importance with humour and restoring some order. His intervention was a reminder that good moderation is not just about keeping time, but about keeping egos in check.

From the against the motion camp, @swapan55 was in sublime form. Witty, precise, historically grounded and linguistically commanding. His ten minutes were a masterclass in how control over language shapes narratives, and how Anglophile discomfort with the word Hindutva is often rooted more in prejudice than principle.
@paulagnimitra1, from whom much was expected, unfortunately and prematurely, converted her slot into a miniature election rally to the wrong audience. The motion was nowhere to be found, and even the ever patient moderator @KunalCardiac had to humorously rein her in, a moment that drew more applause than her argument.

Then entered @jsaideepak, the speaker many were waiting for. Unapologetic, unburdened by political correctness and razor-sharp. He dismantled the proponents arguments with clinical ease, to thunderous approval from the “guspetias” in the audience (a term Ms Moitra used rather generously for the alleged Hindutvawadis who had infiltrated Calcutta’s elite circle, and one that earned her a solid round of boos). His arguments were crisp, historically honest, and refreshingly free from cherry picking.
Finally, @SudhanshuTrived arrived to loud cheers, only to leave many disappointed. Instead of engaging the motion, he drifted into grievance-listing and rhetorical digressions, turning what should have been a strong finish into a missed opportunity.

Though the judges declared the debate a draw (perhaps in the fear and the pressures mounted by the elite administrators), the overwhelming show of hands against the motion was a rude awakening for Calcutta’s pseudo-liberal elite. It signalled that the tide is turning, and that their once-comfortable narratives are now being dismantled with ease by voices they never thought belonged to the “intelligentsia”

No one has insulted and ignored Dr Ambedkar and his legacy more than the Congress. No one. My views:

[Pawan Kalyan @PawanKalyan]

Thirupparankundram is the First of the Six Abodes of Lord Murugan (Kartikeya). The practice of lighting lamps atop the hill during the Tamil month of Karthigai is an ancient tradition of Hindus. It is sad and ironic that today the Hindus in Bharat have to seek judicial interventions to practice their faith and perform their rituals. If, even after winning a decisive legal battle, devotees cannot perform a simple, peaceful ritual on their own property, then where, in their own country, shall they truly find constitutional justice?

In short and simple, let all the Hindus in Bharat understand this - The bitter truth is - The Chennai High Court affirmed our right to light the Deepathoon - first by a single judge, then upheld by a higher bench. Legally, the battle was won. Yet, practically, we were forced to adjust.

Ask yourself - Can any religious festival be moved a week late? Can a holy day's celebration be shifted to a different time? No. Because the sanctity of religious time and the integrity of every religious calendar is non-negotiable.

Yet, for Sanatana Dharma, the moment—the sacred Karthigai Deepam—was stolen, vanished forever. Why? Because Hindus can be taken for granted. Sometimes it's the governments, sometimes it’s the executive, sometimes it’s the NGOs, sometimes it’s a random pseudo intellectual groups – but every time, it is Hindus who accept the loss and adjust. We secured the right, but lost the ritual. This repeated, systemic denial is why a time has come to demand more than just court victories - We need the Sanatana Dharma Raksha Board where devotees actively manage their own temples and religious affairs.

Mockery of Hindu traditions and rituals has become a norm for certain groups. Do they dare to do the same for other religious events?

Does Article 25 become an optional right instead of a fundamental right to the Hindus? Can a Police Commissioner or a District Magistrate unilaterally nullify a specific High Court Directive? If the High Court confirmed the Deepam lighting was a "harmless religious act" on legally owned land, who decides that this practice constitutes a threat to "communal harmony," and by what legal mechanism? How come HR&CE Department consistently and repeatedly act against the interests of Hindu devotees and their temple's traditions, and how do these officials evade serious accountability?

Hindus should observe the collective spirit and solidarity shown by practitioners of Abrahamic religions (religions of Arabian origin) when religious issues arise. They overcome their ethnic, regional, and linguistic differences for the sake of their faith.

As long as Hindus remain divided by caste, regional, and linguistic barriers, the mockery, insults, and abuses against the Hindu religion and its practices shall continue. If Hindus in our nation don't unite under a common minimum program with the collective spirit of Hindu Dharma (or Aram in Tamil), this spirit will be lost.

I hope for a day when every Hindu from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Kamakhya to Dwarka wakes up to the humiliation Hindus face in their own land.
