I was a hindu theist and then i turned to atheism

I was one, used to be a hardcore Modi supporter and a very God believing person. Things changed drastically in the COVID period when I got time to sit down and read some books.

@@Nickel287 Me too... I stand for no Flag.

subah ka bhoola

I am too rajput

Same applies to maratha in Maharashtra. People just think it's a very proud thing to be born in a particular cast and consider other cast as useless.

Bhai ye problem bs tmhari nhi hai..Brhmn rajput yadav dalit har jaat ki hai..sbko apni jaat psand hai , kisi ko apni jaat nhi chorni!! Galti hmari bhi nhi hai shuru se aise he brainwash kia jata hai but ek time k baad education se dimag khulta hai aur pta chalta hai ki kya dhong hai ye jo ajtak chalaa aa rhaa politica nd power k liyeee!!! Hndu ko ek bhi hona hai lekin jatiwad bhi krna hai..Irony!!

I'm also from the Rajput community but idk why I never felt anything superior about it even when I used to be a hardcore hindutva supporter.

Damn that's so early. I was 8 and used to bark at dogs at that age.

Arundhati Roy really....the one who we can see with Yasin mallik?

Of course exposure to Chomsky, Zinn, etc. automatically makes you smarter than your ancestors.

@@stefano1405 so? Subhash Chandra Bose was also seen with Hitler. But I can confirm he was not a Nazi lmao.

@@bredbutter yeah right but one issue never saw Bose defending hitler like arundhati did and one more thing the soon Bose realised Hitler's propaganda he left for Japan....and at that time no one knew what hitler is doing to jews till war ended....so can't get what's your point drawing equivalence to something clearly unrelated contextually!

But what minorities I never seen parsi or Sikh getting screwed nor Jain ....now you talking about muslims so you need to understand that islamic ideology itself is agressive! Not promoting violence but bjp head leadership has nothing to do with it ....and hindutva means being inclusive

​@@stefano1405 as per your logic Brahmins are a minority so are millionaires. But there is a trick to not be a minority for anyone interested. Just be active on social media praising the supreme leader, your social media image will change from leftist/rice bag/terrorist to Bhatathiya Muslim/Christian.

You fool violence existed before bjp didn't do anything new. Lynching happened even in congress rule also Muslims aren't the minority they are the second majority.

You still are in an echo chamber few years down the line you will realize you still are wrong.

@@surfingguru5360 same can be said about any one in general, even you. Unless you are more wise.

I feel you beeing rajput

@@allinonetube3387 no now I am being human instead of rajput Or hindu

so, what is wrong with rss ?

@@DhruvSingh-ev8md That's exact Education

​@@prabhanjanreddy3669either you don't know anything about them or you know everything and still think there is nothing wrong

You are beautiful 😻❤️

ashamed because you no longer are a bhakt ?

Me got moksha from andh bhakti in 2018 December after watching Godhra riot documentary and Babri Mosque demolition documentry form BHU documentary channel which is terminated now in India.

​​@@trb024 I got moksha from it when I came to know female foeticide and honor killings in Intercaste marriage happen sanskari land. I thought only muslim do it, but I was wrong.

its never about the person , its about the ideology ! I mean if your ideology(hindutva) is about hurting the other and creating a "us vs them" narrative then it doen't matter what kind of development you bring on table, you are just being inhuman. So yeah !

👏👏👏kannadiga

I dont think u need to argue or talk to them or try to convince them ....no point in tht..please choose ur battle wisely

You can only do that when you’re financially and otherwise independent and your parents trust your decisions. It was a long journey for me but I have great relationship with both my parents individually. Ofcourse I had to put effort into it and by no means I am adarsh bachhi. Quite the opposite. But maybe because of my honesty and being able to respect boundaries I can gave political debates with them too. I have managed to keep our heads out of the whole right wing brain wash. I personally have lost some close friends and even relatives. As I believe people who support genocide can’t be trusted to be good honest people with sane logical minds. If you can justify all the crimes, doesn’t care about what is really happening, you are insane. I happily dissociate with them. Because I can have people who has differences in opinion not differences in levels of humanity. What BJP and every idiot supporter and every silent person is doing is they are damaging the country, they are letting the country be destroyed. This is my puny role to speak up. Speak up to family, friends and others who I can trust not to shoot, rape or throw acid at my face for saying something unpleasant. I should stand and speak out on every occasion to save my nation’s democracy, however I can. I believe if I don’t even do this smallest bit then I can’t really face myself. I couldn’t sleep after watching the video of Manipur. The blatent garlanding of rapists and animals. Anyone who stands with these criminals are not just brainwashed but are potential threats to our society. In other developed nations this is known as “grooming” to be radicalised. It’s a crime and people are taught about it from school.

Thanks Priya

@Communist party of india ( CPI ) economic backwardness (poverty) and social backwardness are totally different things!

I'm a Hindu but I have something of atheistic side but just wanted to know like do you hate hindu scriptures like are they all bad ??

@@deepanjan6895 Scriptures are as contradictory as life and death. But to realise they are contradictory, you have to read thousands of pages from 10's of texts. Scriptures are as harmful as stale curry. But ro realise they are stale, you have to read thousands of pages from 10's of texts. Reading scripture is boring. Very very boring. And 99.999% people are lazy. Why read for 50-60 days when I can finish 10 series in Prime or Netflix in the same time? Gurus take advantage of this and do four things- 1) Focus on the good part of the scripture. 2) Spin the bad part as good part or justify them. 3) Focus on bad parts of scripture of other religion to establish superiority and religious pride. More Hindus I know know the evils in Islamic texts and Christian texts than their own texts. 4) Ensures that his followers are addicted to the superiority complex and consider the said Guru as a fountain of knowledge and authority of the religion. What if I do the reverse? I become an anti-Guru and you get a shortcut. Knowledge through short cut never leave imprint in the mind. It remains as weak and easy to dismantle with more lies. Are they all bad? They range from being a bowl of rice with 2-3 Kankad, to bowls with hundreds of kankad. But you don't pick and choose right? You choose the variety of rice you are habituated in consuming from young age and that's it. Others choose another variety of rice they have grown up with. Just the perspective changes. Imagine the variety of rice as different religions. So, it's not important to realize exactly how many Kankad are in which bowls in which variety, but to realize there are kankads in each variety and the social impact they have on culture and practices - past and present. That's why my friend, my policy is to never attempt to explain where scriptures are wrong. On one hand, this is a vast topic, and on the other, such is futile as sooner or later cognitive dissonance takes over and years of brain washing wins. Yes, if the discussion is very specific and topic based, I do give my input, that's it.

Just yesterday I had to argue with a 14 year old! My son's classmate who was offended because I had posted a laughing emoji on a past made by the school my kid studies in (DPS Nacharam, Hyderabad). The school had conducted a HUGE Ram Kalyan (or such) and I was getting constant messages from the school to attend the same. And the kid got offended because I had hurt his sentiments. How deep this indoctrination goes. I worry about the future 😢

@@Subh8081 Your doomsday fantasy may not be true. Also, your argument on evils in religion is very shallow. People have the right to have pride in their past, heritage & roots. There are bad things in anything that gets mass adoption, but the way you guys borderline insult the Hindu faith is so snobbish. BTW I have been agnostic since I could think.

@@samrat.Biswas Hindutva is not past, heritage & roots. It's a early 20th century construct of bigots. And secondly, it's not ok to have pride on something which is acquired by birth. And lastly, at least for me, it's not acceptable to have pride on anything that is rotten. I think myself as an agnostic and also a critic to all religions, including the one of my births as all religions have ambiguous and self-contradictory texts which evil people use to justify hatred, discrimination and violence and manipulate people. I am having none of it, let alone any pride. But I agree people have right to have pride in anything. So, you go ahead and have pride on Hindutva, or on your birth religion or on the rotten texts on which religion is based and call yourself Hindu atheist or agnostic whatever you think yourself, no one is stopping you. However, I also have the right to critic and don't you lecture me on that. But, if you want to debate on the glory and shame of your birth religion, which was also mine's, I'm prepared for it.

Koenrad Elst you mean. Me too. It's ok.

Thanks!

@@vimohlive On a separate note, do you plan to hold a discussion any time in the near future about caste based reservations in India (whether it is required or not, if yes - for how long, if not reservations - what other affirmative actions may be looked into, who should pay for it and in what ways etc.) I feel like to really address this topic of “hindu khatre mein hain” we need to go to the root of this “grievance” from uc hindus and confront it.

How's your mental state now?

@@moniroy5335 I feel great today.. BJP lost in Mewat..I have to say, BJP tried its best to be as sh*tty as they could be. And they lost. 🤣

By doing things that may fix the mistakes I made. The guilt is a good thing. It can drive you in the right direction.

You're now free, my friend! Congratulations :)

Don't you feel equally feel responsible when muslim attacks hindu? I think as a human being you should look both sides... Don't be so judgemental.

which events led to change in your thought process and perception of hindutva?

Inspector Steel and Tiranga

I also got into audiobooks during the lockdown. I was very much affected by the diary of a young girl, and maybe that sparked an interest and how holocaust came into existence. Maybe everyone should read it in their young years to know what this could lead to. If anyone is interested "The tattooist of Auschwitz" is also once thought-provoking book.

I can only speak for myself. And thank you!

Opportunist People who like to remain on safe harbour Let the govt change and ranga will turn into a liberal person

Yeah??

What is dharm.
