We can understand the anger and criticism from all quarters over another Indian with a Hindu name ‘Megha Vemuri’, but not Hindu in substance, with her “Free Frankenstein” speech Ooops, “Free Palestine” speech recently, which only reflects a problem shes victim of like the other brown doormat Indian Isha Chander who opposed Hindu Heritage Day at Berkeley University.
The symptoms of this problem leads to a embarrassing behaviour wanting a pat on the back from those ” Superior White, Enlightened, Left Wing, Progressive Woke liberals ” on whom the whole world revolves in their imagination only, for being highly civilised and virtuous, which in reality It’s just an update as white supremacy 2.0, as their own forefathers also thought they were highly civilised and moral when they killed and enslaved other indigenous people.
So the traits are exactly the same, which is not going to fool Hindus like us who faced real white supremacist violence on the streets in the past.
We know the mentality, the behaviour patterns very well, which is why we don’t fall for this outdated left-wing VS right-wing divide and rule lens of the world. And of course, we aren’t going to fall into the trap of generalising all whites who are also victims of these highly virtuous whites, often from the upper-middle-class circles.
So these ‘class’ or ‘caste’ of subservient indians like Megha Vemuri or other students, academics and journalists from Indian backgrounds goes across the whole political paradigm, like, for example, we have that other Indian waiter on the right wing, Dinesh D’Souza, often bashing Hinduism, wanting praise from the religious Christian right. He even tried unsuccessfully to get this article What’s Not So Great About Hinduism According to Dinesh D’Souza taken down about him from our site, where we exposed his hinduphobic nonsense.
That’s why we don’t call these confused HINOs – “Hindus In Name Only” with an identity crisis right now backing jihadist causes like Gaza or crying over the imaginary threat by global Hindutva-Hindu nationalism as “Woke, liberals or Progressives Leftists Secularists’ like most Hindus do, making a major mistake, as it gives them an open door to these lefty white supremcists or right-wing Christian fundamentalists like Audrey Trukshe to hide behind so they don’t get called racists.
But instead to remind them of their loyal colonised Indian butler status, we often refer them as the Gunga Din, a character from the 1890 poem ‘Gunga Din’ by Rudyard Kipling that later became a movie set in British India, about an Indian water carrier called ‘Gunga Din’ risking his life giving water to British soldiers on the battlefield fighting evil ‘Hindu Thuggees’ or Hindutva Hindu Nationalists’.
He ends up shot dead by a British soldier whom he helped give water to. The poem and movie are steeped in racial stereotypes and controversies of basically Indians, meaning Hindus, which continues presently in a new politically correct format.
But overall, these Hinduphobic self-hating Indians are just a reflection and symptom of a major collective problem that goes beyond the divide and rule politics of the left and the right. So, to also blame it all on American or Western culture alone is ridiculous.
Yes it can plays a part later if you have a massive inferiority complex to start with but like many of us who are also Western-born, the West in some ways, has also given us the freedom to have a strong Hindu identity that even lacks in the abode of a billion Hindus in a country far away across middle earth but somewhere near the Himalayas that even The Hobbits can’t find called India.
It’s a problem we been trying to call out for years but got blacklisted by most of the Hindu experts and orgs who often closed the doors on us because they didn’t want to face the truth but instead made excuses like we didn’t have big status or are connected with the RSS clown cult, but frequently called us from the time we started ‘jobless youths’ and street people or too western’ instead.
We were even called undercover missionaries because we also had white and other non Indian Hindus with us at protests. We even got called by some RSS cult members for being love jihadists because we had so many Hindu females with us at demonstrations and events.
But personally, the past is past, and to us, the Hindu cause is more important than our ‘tragic Bollywood feelings’ and what we had to endure from other so-called Hindus, which is why Krishna tells Arjun to overcome his personal feelings but focus on the higher Dharmic cause. And not forgetting the many good Hindus out there who also supported us and helped us.
And also the good thing is that, even though Hindu activism has a long way to go but at least in the present time, we are also seeing other Hindus, especially students, as we saw at Berkeley, also emerging with similar mindsets, and it’s spreading across the globe.
So, what is the cause of the problem?
Well, it all starts with their weak Hindu parents first, like hers in the article image and then the larger weak Hindu community from where this inferiority complex is rooted. This weak pseudo-Hinduism with just celebrating Hindu festivals and learning a few mantras while the local Hindu temples are run by people who often don’t even know the ABC of Hinduism, and where Hinduism has been twisted to some airy fairy escapism and bowing down to the establishment for flower garlands and OBEs while cringe bragging about how hindus are rich and big status as explained further in this article, Hindu Parenting Fails Not Because Of Wokeism But To Hindu Parenting.
But in our case like many other Hindus in our circles who didn’t fall into this inferiority complex trap was thanks to our parents at first who often played a part in making sure we had an assertive and strong Hindu identity from toddlerhood, knowing the spiritual aspects, knowing the genocides Hindus went through and Hindu resistance to survive through our warriors and then to make sure to speak up when Hinduism was mocked. Also, we were often encouraged to keep fit by taking up martial arts and other fitness training to complement the mindset and fulfil the full Hindu identity, which is how ancient Hindus were also.
This, from childhood, sets the mental framework of a strong Hindu identity, which is why, like other Hindus we know with with a similar mindset, who even going back to school, often stood up against the mocking of Hinduism, which is why later we also dominated the university campuses where our group members were at.
We often had regular talks with packed audiences, even debating missionaries and others while also having Hindu book stalls selling many books, including ones by Sita Ram Goel, Ram Swarup and David Frawley to Hindu students.
At City University, where we ran the Hindu society, the Hindu students, after becoming confident in their Hindu identity, also demanded that the Hanuman Chalisa be sung every week. So the university said yes and gave us a room which was packed with even Hindu students sitting outside the doors to the Chalisa being chanted as other students walked past.
Even the students like these colonised Indians with Hindu names often did a U-turn back to their Hindu identity, explained further in this article Hindus, Learn To Walk The Talk Like Devang. Hindu students from India often told us how confident they felt in their Hindu identity in the open, as Rudra a son of an Indian official with the diplomatic foreign service, explains in this article Leaving India to Finally Rediscover Hinduism In London
How did we boost this confident Hindu identity?
Well, knowing Hindu knowledge from its spiritual relevance to present times, to its historical and political perspectives, and most of all, articulating it in the latest lingos and pop culture frameworks, especially, to the younger crowd without sounding like the long boring potbelly Unclejee lecture that most Hindu experts or intellectual kashtriyas come across.
Also, keep the talks short with Q + A between parts of the talk. The more interaction with the audience creates a good debate and togetherness. We debated in clubs, cafes and other popular places etc. Also, being active for Hindu causes in public on the streets gives another level of confidence and activism.
And to top it up, having a good physical composure often gives the full package to attract everyone to the Hindu cause, which is why keeping fit and exercising is very important. Otherwise, having a massive potbelly and being unfit like most of these Hindu experts while talking about our Gods with six packs and muscle doesn’t make sense.
This is why most Hindu temples should be raising or be forced to raise the persecution of Hindus with exhibitions and talks regularly, with the rise of Hinduphobia. That’s how you educate the masses from childhood. These Temples should also have statues or paintings of our male and female warriors who fought across 800 years to protect Hinduism.
If these female students mentioned were brought up inspired by all the indigenous Hindu female warriors and saints who defended Hinduism, then they would be speaking up for Hindu causes proudly. Which is why more Hindu women should also be at the forefront of Hindu causes, and other causes like rights of other indigenous people, making bridges towards the neo pagan movement, climate change or women’s rights etc. When that happens, then a strong Hindu identity will emerge everywhere.
