12 Reasons why Bharat/India must adopt Hinduism as official religion.
1. Historical Heritage: Hinduism has deep roots in India's history and culture, serving as a unifying force for its people for thousands of years.
2. Majority Religion: Hinduism is the majority religion in India, with the vast majority of its citizens identifying as Hindus. Recognizing Hinduism as the state religion will reflect the demographic reality of the country.
3. Historical Injustice: Hindus suffered the most bloody and brutal massacres of unimaginable proportions in past 1000 years, particularly during the Islamic conquests. Even going by conservative estimates, 300 million Hindus were massacred just for being Hindus. More over Hindus lost a vast land due to Islamic extremism. Recognising Hinduism as state religion is the only way to acknowledge the injustice done to Hindus.
4. Safeguarding Against Conversion: With concerns about forced conversions and religious conversions in India, having Hinduism as the state religion can provide additional protection for Hindus against such pressures. Even after this country has been divided on religious lines, the population share of Hindus has been on constant decline due to religious conversions.
5. Why Not?: There are a few dozen countries with Christianity as state religion and another few dozen countries with Islam as state religion. How many Muslims and Christians are asking them to get rid of state religion of these countries? Then why shouldn’t a Hindu majority country adopt Hinduism as state religion?
6. Promotion of Values: Hinduism promotes values such as non-violence, tolerance, and respect for all living beings, which are foundational to Indian ethos and can contribute to a harmonious society. There is no other religion which has shown track record of assimilation of multiple cultures. There is no other religion which doesn’t say only “our god” is real god.
7. Protection of Religious Sites: Designating Hinduism as the state religion could lead to increased protection and preservation of Hindu temples, shrines, and heritage sites. Indian government takes way the income from Hindu temples without touching the holy places of any other religion. Then very well the government should adopt Hinduism as official religion and provide protection to assets of Hindu temples.
8. Equality of All Citizens: Adopting Hinduism as state religion doesn’t impinge on the equal fundamental rights for all citizens, regardless of their religious beliefs.
9. Counterbalance to Hinduphobia: Hinduphobia is a real thing. With incidents like calls for eradicating Sanatana Dharma, global conferences for eliminating Hindutva, Love Jihad, Vote Jihad etc, Hinduism needs a counterbalance. Both Islamic extremism and left wing extremism have vociferously stated hatred towards Hinduism. Officially recognising Hinduism as the state religion will provide a counterbalance and provide safety net for Hinduism.
10. Cultural Identity: Today globally, India is recognised by Taj Mahal. There cannot be a worse travesty. Hinduism is intricately linked to Indian cultural identity, including art, literature, music, temples and festivals. Embracing Hinduism as the state religion will strengthen the nation's cultural identity.
11. Respect for Tradition: Denigrating Hinduism and mocking Hinduism without an iota of understanding about Hinduism, have become a trend. Adopting Hinduism as the state religion can demonstrate respect for the traditions and values that have shaped Indian society for centuries.
12. Legal Clarity: Many political parties have stated that Muslims have first right on nation’s resources. Why should it be so? This was always a land of Hindus. Designating Hinduism as the state religion can provide legal clarity, ensuring consistency and coherence in governance irrespective of which party is in power.
Shocking. Racist. Derogatory.
Norway’s largest broadsheet newspaper Aftenposten brazens it out with a shocking cartoon depicting Indian PM @narendramodi as a Snake Charmer with the headline: “A sneaky and slightly annoying man”.
They can’t digest India’s rise and success. Pity!
@Benarasiyaa Sad. Very sad to see girls’ parents in India still thinking about “chaar log kya kahenge” and trying to make the marriage work somehow! She could have lived a beautiful life of her choice.
I have some questions for @peyushbansal, CEO of @Lenskart_com, a publicly listed company that has blocked me for asking questions. Do listen and RT if you agree. #NoBindiNoBusiness
@TheLaurenChen Do you know the value of resources that the British stole from India and how many millions were killed through oppression and artificially manufactured famines?
Your post reflects your ignorance or your devious intent to whitewash colonisation.

@jsaideepak@OxfordUnion All they could respond to Sindoor was with operation Spin-door. Tried to spin some narrative and ran away door. Look at even the title of the debate.
Let me say this even at the risk of sounding flattering - they would have watched some of your debates 😉
1. Trust the Pakistanis to make a pigsty even out of the @OxfordUnion. And as always, they are genetically incapable of being truthful. So here's the complete story of how this so-called debate played out.
🚨#BreakingNews:
A credible source from Pakistan has confirmed to Afghanistan Times that PTI Chairman Imran Khan has allegedly been mysteriously killed, and his body has been moved out of the prison.

Influencers these days are using pseudoscience to completely kill people’s trust on the scientific method and science. 😀
If I must speculate wildly, these influencers are planted by aliens to remove both science & spirituality from human life. For easy takeover of earth😜
Today I learned that China didn’t just race ahead of us in terms of infrastructure and technology, but the average height of Chinese men increased by 9cm in the last 35 years, compared to Indian men who gained only 2cm.
Our improvement was among the slowest in Asia, mainly due to undernutrition, poor quality of childhood diets, stunting, and healthcare inequality.
We have to catch up so much. Really need to accelerate things at full speed.
