Those who claim that we are living in a totalitarian Hindu Rashtra should be asked what kind of Hindu Rashtra it is where a billion powerful Hindus are not only treated as second class by the Parliament, the courts, the education system and our Constitution. Not only have they been declared citizens but have been pushed even lower? What kind of Hindu nation is this in which there is unabated stone pelting on Durga Puja and Garba events and a person sitting on the Prime Minister's chair says that minorities have the first right on the resources of this country? What kind of Hindu nation is this where Hindus have to live like refugees on their own land and where one can settle 40 thousand Rohingya Muslims but not 7 lakh Kashmiri Pandits who are the sons of this country and where the courts say that Hindus Is it too late to prosecute those who commit murder, rape and ethnic cleansing? What kind of Hindu nation is this where Hindu temples are under the control of governments and to celebrate their festivals Hindus have to stretch their hands for land in front of the Waqf Board? What kind of Hindu nation is this where the Right to Education Act discriminates against schools belonging only to Hindus and forces them to be closed? What kind of Hindu nation is this where barbaric rulers like Aurangzeb and Tipu are published at government expense, streets are named and festivals are organised? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this where a law was about to be made that would hold only Hindus, even though they were a minority, guilty of communal riots as seen in Kashmir? What kind of Hindu nation is this where court decisions and legislative acts in the Sabarimala case are made only to improve the religious practices of Hindus but other religions are not even touched and even if someone does so, there will be decisions like the Shah Bano case. should be overturned? What kind of Hindu nation is this where the Hindu Places of Worship Act still restricts Hindus' legitimate right to seek redress for historical injustices done to them while the Waqf Act gives Muslims the uncontrolled right to declare a 1500 year old Hindu temple as Islamic property. Gives power, even though Islam itself is only 1300 years old? If a Hindu is being honored like this in a Hindu nation, then it is better if he lives in a Muslim nation because there at least there will be no pretense of equality, an infidel will get what he deserves. In this bitter statement, Anand Ranganathan gives a decisive blow to the false narrative of guilt and self-guilt that has been cheating Hindus since independence and shatters it. There is no farce or political correctness here, just the stark reality of state-sponsored racism that Hindus are living with.
