And this is such an interesting festival. We don't appreciate our dogs much.
Patriotism doesn’t mean blind agreement with everything your country does , agreed. But it also doesn’t mean selectively weaponizing “secularism” to silence the majority, especially when the very identity, safety, and history of that majority is under constant attack. There’s a growing frustration among Hindus, and it’s not without reason. When blood is spilled, when 26 Hindu pilgrims are massacred in cold blood , and the outrage is met not with solidarity, but with lectures on “secularism,” something is deeply wrong.
India is constitutionally a secular state. That means the government must not favor any religion. Yet, time and again, “secularism” has been interpreted not as neutrality, but as appeasement , often at the expense of the Hindu majority. While Hindu festivals are policed, their traditions scrutinized, and their sentiments mocked, religious minorities , particularly Muslims , are portrayed as perpetual victims, even when elements within their community carry out heinous acts of terror.
Let’s look globally, there are OVER 50 officially Islamic countries in the world. Nations where the law is derived from Sharia, where minorities often live under strict regulations, and where the state proudly proclaims its religious identity. No one questions their right to exist, or tells them to “be more secular.” But when Hindus - who have no other homeland but India - ask for their culture, their faith, and their identity to be protected, they’re labelled as fascists, extremists, or worse.
Why is the idea of a Hindu nation so controversial? Pakistan was literally created on the basis of religion. It exists as an Islamic state. And many who defend Pakistan’s actions today fail to acknowledge its history of genocide against Hindus, Sikhs, and other minorities — not just in 1947, but in the decades that followed, through proxy wars, terrorist attacks, and systematic persecution.
If Muslims around the world have Islamic nations where they can freely practice their religion, enforce their laws, and build their communities, why is it “intolerant” for Hindus to want one country where their values, beliefs, and identity are safeguarded?
It’s not about hate. It’s about survival. It's about dignity. It’s about not having to constantly apologize for being Hindu in the only country on earth where Hinduism was born, nurtured, and sustained.
This doesn’t mean non-Hindus should be expelled or oppressed. It means recognizing that India’s civilizational identity is Hindu, and embracing that, with fairness to all, but special protection to none. Equality doesn’t mean erasure. Tolerance doesn’t mean weakness. And secularism doesn’t mean that Hindus must keep shrinking to make room for those who, in too many cases, don't even respect the land they live in.
So no, wanting India to assert its Hindu roots isn’t unpatriotic. It’s self-respect. It’s justice. And frankly, in a world full of religious nations, it's about time Hindus stopped being ashamed of wanting a nation of their own , a homeland where they are not second-class citizens in the name of “secularism,” but proud inheritors of a great civilization.
You all this is demi erasure. Calling it friends to lovers or "normal" love. Your age shouldn't be an excuse for this kind of ignorance.
SMH
Brooo wtf 🤣🤣🤣
That's the definition of demiromantic btw.
Isn't that just normal love?
Doesn't everyone need a deep emotional connection before getting romantic attraction???
You guys do understand that it's a translation from either modern time or the 20th century.

So I decided to go out today. I usually plan it all out but today was spontaneous.
Luckily Jehangir Art Gallery was a part of it. And I'm glad I went there. The paintings and the art on display were majorly Hinduism related. Hindu gods, stories like Shakuntala, and Shiv ji's wedding to Mata Parvati, birth of Ganesh ji.
Ofcourse, photography isn't allowed, so I don't have pictures. Plus I don't click pictures of art either way because a phone cannot capture the true beauty of those amazing amazing art
But I did get a pamphlet/catalogue thingy for one of the displays -
