To all the parents offended by the title, brace yourselves—I am going to be offending you even more. My question to every Hindu parent reading this is: what have you done with your children? No, seriously—what? Let me share a story that explains my concern." I studied
Theology
The bhakta creates the god. When someone has a profound spiritual experience, they generate divine presence through the intensity of their devotion. The god doesn't exist first, waiting to be discovered. The god emerges from the devotional attention itself. Watch a devotee in deep bhakti toward Ishvara. That
Dear Hindu Atheists, What the hell are you actually doing? Seriously. I need to understand the mental gymnastics required to be born into the only religious tradition in human history that literally has a place for atheists and still feel the need to reject it entirely. It's like

To every Hindu teenager reading this, you know there is a leftist in you. He sips his matcha and asks you to question the Right-Winged government for breathing. He also asks you to stand up for the second largest majority in the country, which is also somehow oppressed. He asks

Nowadays, some "well-meaning" persons are repeating the rhetoric that Sri Krishna's teachings are "universal" and so his connection to India is just cultural packaging we should look past. They take Sri Krishna's wisdom, file off all the "cultural stuff," and

Tell me if you nod along with any of this: Pakistan is a struggling democracy, victim of colonial legacy, fighting terrorism while managing complex regional dynamics.

Dear defender of the faith. You think you're seeking truth, don't you? You've got your worldview all mapped out—your beliefs about God, politics, human nature, whatever gets you through the day. You've built yourself a nice little ideological fortress, and you
Itihas
This is a story of one of the many betrayals that our community i.e. the Kashmiri Hindus faced. The story of how Farooq Abdullah, the then Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir, watched silently, enabled the exodus of Kashmiri Hindus as we were driven out of our homes, and
If you actually look at how wealth moved through Hindu societies, you find something that doesn't fit the usual categories i.e capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc. No slavery. No serfdom. No systematic extraction of tribute from conquered peoples. Every other major civilization we know of today was built

Dear atheists. I get it. I really do. You figured out Santa Claus was not real around age eight, and you've been applying that same ruthless logic to everything since. God? Mythology. Soul? Brain chemistry. Meaning? Human construct. Purpose? Evolutionary accident. You've stripped away the comforting

The pattern is everywhere once you start looking. Indian "progressives" erupt over century old colonial atrocities in Canada. Land acknowledgments get retweeted. Cultural genocide gets named and shamed. The civilizing mission gets exposed for what it was—systematic destruction dressed up as salvation. Then silence. Complete radio silence
