Hinduismists and cast prejudice

mardi 4 février 2020 à 01:00

Modi's right-wing religious nationalist party, the BJP, is trying to pass itself as the heirs of Dr Ambedkar, even though it is the enemy of everything he fought for except small details.

The BJP is a Hinduismist party (Hinduismists are to Hinduism as Islamists are to Islam). Caste prejudice is deeply rooted in Hinduism so Hinduismists cannot help perpetuating caste prejudice.

India has little traditional of liberalism — that is, championing freedom to disagree peacefully and to advocate different views.
