I cannot believe the Supreme Court is still using the Western constructs of religion 75 years after independence. The British coined this “Hinduism is not a religion but a way of life” to fool Hindus. Because, if they can dub it with “it’s not a religion” it’s easy to convert them. All religions have way of life built into it. It’s time India comes out of these colonialist narratives #ColonizedMinds not all religions have same parameters some differ from the western framework of religion, especially the ancient religions like Hinduism.

STORY | Hinduism way of life, not mandatory to go to temple to prove belief: SC Observing that Hinduism is a way of life, the Supreme Court on Wednesday said it is not necessary for a Hindu to mandatorily go to a temple or perform a ritual in order to remain a Hindu, and even lighting a lamp inside the house is enough to prove one's belief. The observation of a nine-judge constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Surya Kant came while hearing petitions related to discrimination against women at religious places, including the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, and on the ambit of religious freedom practised by multiple faiths, including Dawoodi Bohras. Justices B V Nagarathna, M M Sundresh, Ahsanuddin Amanullah, Aravind Kumar, Augustine George Masih, Prasanna B Varale, R Mahadevan and Joymalya Bagchi are also part of the nine-judge bench.

Today I met Vivek Kumar, who was kidnapped when he was in Class 3, converted to Islam, circumcised, fed beef, enrolled in a madrassa At age of 17, he was being prepared to be sent to a Gulf country when Aadhaar biometrics revealed his real details to an alert official Vivek was reunited with his parents after 9 long years It was after his case that @KanoongoPriyank ordered all govt-aided madrassas in UP to furnish details of their students from Hindu families, which is now being opposed by a lobby in Allahabad high court Vivek, who is from a scheduled caste, has learnt nothing other than memorising Arabic verses all these years At 20, he now wants to pursue school and we @sewanyaya are helping him Have recorded an interview of him which I will soon post Counselled him for long - he was shocked to learn about the truth and tactics of conversion rackets and how youths are being radicalised to join terror outfits

Pak Married Hindu Bhagyawanti kidnapped by Islamists for conversion and nikah slavery. Her husband is alive, but she has been stolen and turned into a jihadi’s personal sex slave. This is Islamic Pakistan’s version of “respecting women”.

Never Fckng say Love jihad is propaganda!! A 31-year-old Hindu woman from Indore was subjected to forced religious conversion, physical abuse, multiple marriages and halala over a period of 13 years after being allegedly trapped by a man she met on Facebook. According to the woman’s complaint, a Muslim man initially befriended her on social media while posing as a Hindu. She alleged that after gaining her trust, he called her to Uttar Pradesh, where she was allegedly held captive. The woman claimed that she was forcibly converted and later married off to a Maulana nearly 25 years older than her. She alleged that she faced repeated physical abuse whenever she protested and was assaulted for not offering namaz. According to her allegations, the Maulana later gave her triple talaq, after which she was allegedly forced to undergo halala and married again. She claimed that over the years, she went through five nikahs and underwent halala twice. The woman alleged that her life was “destroyed” during the ordeal and said she endured years of exploitation and abuse.

Five Nikahs, three halalas and conversion by Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui: Read this horror from Indore In 2012, this Brahmin woman met a man named Naveen Rana on social media. In 2013, he called her to Delhi from Indore. From there, she was taken to a madrasa located in Falat, where she got to know that Naveen was actually Naved. She was held captive in the madrasa where she was forced into Islamic teachings. She was made to recite the kalma and wear a burqa. From there, she was shifted to a madrasa in Meerut for another six months and then relocated to the same madrasa in Muzaffarnagar. In Falat Madrasa, Maulana Abdur Rehman raped her. When she protested, he would beat her after taking her clothes off. Then he gave her triple talaq and left her.Then she was taken to Khalat Madrasa, where she was made to spend her iddat period for three months. Then her halala was done in a Jaipur madrasa for five days. In 2015, she was taken to Shamli in UP, where her second nikah took place with a man named Mudsir. She was taken to Gujarat post-nikah, but Mudsir died in 2019. Then she was trapped by a cleric named Maulana Kaari Asman and taken to a madrasa in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh. Her halala was done, and after that she was married to one Khalid Hussain. But Khalid’s family was not ready to accept her as he was already married. In 2022, he gave her triple talaq and she had to undergo another halala in Baghpat as Khalid wanted to remarry her. Later, Khalid’s brother Sakib, raped the woman. Then Fakhruddin, Khalid’s brother-in-law, did the halala and said, “Now you can remarry Khalid as you are pure now.” Then she was finally married to Khalid again. Finally, she got out of their clutches and has registered a complaint at Ankur Vihar PS in Ghaziabad on May 2 against as many as 16 accused. I met her at the event of the Kerala Story 2 film in Delhi when she was rescued by the local activists:

This is why “secularism” in India has failed miserably because “secularism” in India is invariably anti-Hindu/pro-Abrahamic Notice there’ll be hardly any uproar from “secular” commentators. Indian secularism deserves to die Plus, Udaynidhi seems hell bent on Kejriwal-ing his party and I wish him the best

CoHNA (Coalition of Hindus of North America)
So, Yashica Dutt has blocked CoHNA. So predictable because the only way caste activists thrive is via such hit n run tactics. For the past decade, they have insisted on blocking and canceling ANY fact, person, or opinion that runs contrary to the reality on the ground. In this case, Yashica’s bluff was called out quite strongly when we challenged her fake claims on “exclusion” in Hindu temples. Yashica was of course not going to demand to “touch” objects sacred to other faiths or barge into secular buildings the way she demanded of Hinduism. She also did not respond well to hearing from the diverse Dalit Bahujan voices from CoHNA that challenged her - so she tries to falsify their words and denigrate them as well. So much for solidarity! Yashica’s latest "news" article on the NY caste bill has her “reporting” on the very advocacy coalition she is part of? Fine as an Oped. But @prismreports presents this as a NEWS piece? Continuing her whisper campaign, Yashica goes on to make allegations about her opposition - tarring some as “militant” and brandishing favored labels like "Hindu rightwing/Hindutva," etc. But as PROOF, she only offers up allegations from fellow members of her own coalition - such as Hindus for Human Rights! Well, we guess in an article where Yashica can be both reporter and reportee, it’s only fitting for @Hindus4HR to be both accuser and validator. Without this closed citation loop that cancels diverse Hindu voices, there would be no way to build the house of cards that is the “Caste in USA” campaign. We will reiterate what we stated in the article - “Discrimination is already covered under existing law, and we condemn any kind of discrimination. Any individual or organization that faces discrimination needs to immediately get recourse, and current law covers that,” Pushpita Prasad, CoHNA’s chief communications officer, told Prism. “Trying to add the word caste into as a separate provision singles out people of Hindu and Indian American and South Asian origin. And that is not a proper thing to do in a law.” But this narrative runs contrary to the propaganda that Yashica, HfHR and their coalition members peddle - and so, it must be canceled by any means necessary. Unfortunately for them, we won’t be silenced or canceled. We are here to ensure Hindu civil rights are not trampled upon by bills and laws and Hindu temples retain the exact same rights afforded to all other institutions.

The sanctum sanctorum of ANY place of worship is subject to rules and open only to AUTHORIZED personnel. Hindu temples all over the world welcome a wide variety of visitors and devotees. In this short video, CoHNA’s Dalit and Bahujan leaders share their own lived experiences of inclusion and acceptance in temples across the US. If New York media is interested in Dalit Bahujan voices, we encourage them to listen and find out more. @YashicaDutt and @Hindus4HR are literally trying to deny Hindu spaces the most basic rights of access, security, and authorization. Let that sink in. We can also see they have no knowledge of how Hindu temples work, because the inner sanctum is always reserved for those with the authority and training to enter and execute a skilled job. And yes, the job of a Hindu priest is a skilled one, requiring years of study and training. We ask any of these caste warriors trying to paint Hindu temples as “exclusionary” for not having open access to anyone at any time - just try walking into ANY office or shop and demanding access to their inner spaces without authorization! Show up at your local tax-payer funded school and ask to sit in the chair of the school Principal for even an hour or demand to handle the trophies on display. Try walking into your city council meeting without an invitation and demand to sit at the table reserved for councilors. Go to your local grocery store, Target or Walmart and complain if the cashier does not allow you to “touch” the cash register. Try entering a pulpit without authorization or asking to touch sacred relics in places of worship that are not Hindu. This narrative is in line with their previous attempts to demonize Hindus and create double standards in law and policy. These fake allegations and tropes were used to build a witch hunt in California prior to the introduction of the infamous caste bill by State Senator Aisha Wahab (SB 403). Now, there is an attempt to revive and recycle those tired tropes to create a two-tier society in New York State. @CityAndStateNY

Sweden's riots by Muslim immigrants. Sweden, once said to be so safe that you didn't even need to lock your door when going out. With a population of 10 million, immigrants number over 2 million (20%), turning it into the country with the world's worst public safety. - @qsfkbwIhuWLhnjI
