Removal of the Congress president from Jallianwala Bagh trust is part of a larger trend of the ruling party’s attempts to distort history and mythicise lies.

Completely useless article indulging in cherry picking data, a product of deracinated woke Hindu youngsters totally divorced from their tradition and conducting research with motivated agendas to further stereotypes about Hindus. It totally misses another aspect of Holi – that it is specifically referred to as a ‘Shudra Festival’ in Hindu scriptures including Tantravarttika, and celebrates the triumph of the devotion of the Asura Prince Prahlada (another Shudra?). Funny how the incident of Agarwals versus Khandelwals is interpreted as a Hindu aggression against Jains. On one hand, the Marxist oriented researchers deny that Hinduism even existed before the 19th century, but now they want us to believe that Hindu Agarwals conducted a communal riot against minority Jains. This totally overlooks the fact, true even today, that Agarwals have more affinity with Khandelwals than with many other Hindu Jatis. They quote obscure texts like Vasantotsava Chamou, making a mess of it, and then cite marginal scholars like Helen Khandelwal, who has a grand total of 1 book printed by a regional publisher in Rajasthan in 2018. When you check the names of the authors, the agenda becomes clear – Bhadralok Bengali Communists furtharing the agenda of Indian Communist parties by promoting Hindumisia – hated against Hindus. This kind of garbage ‘atrocity literature’ is only meant to provide further ammunition to Communists, Jihadis (like Chilman Saafi, who is apologizing for the horrific Jihad directed at all Kafirs and Dhimmis) and Missionaries. Stop spreading your hateful politics imported from Indian in the US please. The authors will of course never examine the excesses that have happened in the festivals of other religions because they hate only Hindus and Hinduism.
I started reading this article with interest after reading the title. The authors presented 6 incidents over a period of 600 years in the history of India which held a population of more than 50 crores at any given time (if you include Pakistan & Bangladesh).
The authors do not present any empirical data or statistical evidence.
On top of that, both do not live in India and are educated in foreign universities. I do not understand the fascination of “THE PRINT” with foreign university educated scholars writing on Indian festivals and traditions. I have read many such articles. Invariably, all these authors present anecdotal evidence rather than empirical evidence.
I am not saying that caste discrimination does not happen but when it is part of the religion, many people who are educated in that religion and follow it also follow the evil embedded in the religion. Same thing goes for “CURSE OF HAM” in the bible, the concept of Jihad in Islam (it was introduced by the 2nd Caliph, not by the Prophet). But, I do not see these NRI scholars writing articles about them.
Finally, both authors are from the upper castes they mention and have also left the country altogether. Pray, am I allowed to ask, HOW ARE THEY FIGHTING CASTE DISCRIMINATION BY SETTLING IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY? ALSO, DO THEY DARE TO DENOUNCE THEIR OWN RELIGION THEN?
It seems to be very fashionable for people who have run away from the battlefield when the fighting has become tough to call themselves soldiers and comment on actual fighting soldiers. This is a very common phenomenon even among children of so-called nationalistic & patriotic leaders like the RSS.
CAN WE HAVE SOME OF THESE HIGHLY EDUCATED AUTHORS TO DO SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF HOW MANY UPPER CASTES FROM INFLUENTIAL INDIAN POLITICAL FAMILIES SETTLE IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES BUT WANT THEIR RIGHTS INTACT IN THEIR OWN NATIVE COUNTRY AND ARE EVEN DEMANDING VOTING RIGHTS?
A typical Hindu who will always cite other religions to divert the topic being discussed on Hindu atrocities. A typical Hindu extremist is does not call a fellow Hindu writer, as Hindu, but by the name NRI, because these Hindus will not even use this word when Hinduism is discussed. Why should an Indian Hindu discuss about other faiths, rather than his own? If a non Hindu writers, this Hindu would have told him again to concentrate on his own faith.
Ham and Jihad have nothing to do with how this evil practice of persecution of Dalits started.
