When Hasina was allowed to live in India had explained her utility - we will send her back after we deport illegal immigrants back to Bangladesh. Because any government there that takes them back will be unpopular & we don't want Hasina to bear that brunt.

>Hasina's utility isn't over. India will act on illegal Bangladeshi immigrants sending them back. Any government there who accepts them will be infamous internally. This coupled with our military expeditions in East to resolve the Manipur problem permanently. New Delhi will do all of this when Hasina is the PM? That should answer why she is here & when she will be back.

We started doing it during that caretaker proxy government but since we didn't have a government in Bengal so any deportation from other favourable states like Assam would reroute the illegals back into India from Bengal. Hence had asked readers to vouch for a BJP government in Assam & Bengal to fix this problem.

As soon as Bengal was secured (thanks to a strong EC, courts, & ED) you see a massive drive in Mumbai to cleanse it from illegal Bangladeshis, pushback in states like Bengal, UP, UK from not allowing prayers on roads.

When the newly elected Mayor of BMC in Mumbai put forth her first priority on illegal encroachments she was mocked online by the educated chaps & experts online. Hope they realize now what was the planning for.

Have emphasized several times that Hindus have to focus on birth rates. Chief Ministers like Chandrababu Naidu are incentivising it for a reason.

Sacrificing not having 2nd child in lieu of buying luxury, home, car, is going to be useless as in 25 years from now when demography change becomes a reality, your entire luxury will be occupied by those who have numbers.

Having a single child would mean no siblings, hence no help. You are preparing your next generations for failure. Government can only drive the illegals away & work within a legal framework but beyond that society has to find answers to problems a society/community faces. Challenges families are going to face has to be solutioned by families. Outsourcing of duty won't work here.

These illegals have bought lands & encroached settlements at strategic points in each city - near airports, railway station, important highways, entry-exit points of important cities like Mumbai. Rohingyas travelling thousands of kilometres to settle in J&K. These are all very well planned & executed toolkits using demographic changes.

While Indians are busy fighting over language/caste/regional divides, the game is already being played somewhere else which will come to haunt in 2047, their 100 year target.

Now you understand why PM constantly mentions "mission 2047"? Government will handle the illegal immigrants with victory in Bengal, but the first push will come from secular Hindus. They will fight these illegals' cases in court, delay their deportation. Others will cry & outrage because their house help is now deported, & vow to never vote such a government.

So dear Indians, stay calm & united.

Why do some members of the Indian diaspora support Hindu nationalism from abroad? In other words, what motivates this attachment, what does it bring them emotionally or socially, and how does the ideology travel and take root outside of India?

Edit: Not a bot! I'm a PhD student researching transnational nationalism, trying to understand why Hindus in the diaspora maintain ties to Hindu nationalist ideology, how that ideology is transmitted across borders, and what emotions are attached to it. Sorry, I didn't know the posting standards here :)

Note: there's surprisingly little survey data on this specifically, which is part of why I'm researching it. The HSS (the overseas arm of the RSS) now has over 500 branches in 39 countries, which gives some sense of the organizational scale.

Probably not the right sub but...

Why do British Pakistanis often get stereotyped so negatively in England, to the point that even some British Indians and Bangladeshis avoid associating with them?I wanna know what exactly they did to get such a bad rep.

Swasti to all, Jai Sanatan Dharma! I approach this topic not with hostility, but with honest curiosity. My aim is to foster awareness, to gently pull back the curtain on certain aspects of Abrahamic religions, particularly Christianity and Islam, that we, as a Hindu, might find profoundly incompatible with our own spiritual ethos. This isn't about condemnation, but about understanding, about questioning, and about asserting our unique spiritual identity in a world often dominated by singular narratives.

The Core Conflict: Monotheism vs. Polytheism/Henotheism

At the heart of it, the Abrahamic faiths are built on a foundation of exclusive monotheism. There is one God, and only one God. This God is not just supreme; He is the sole divine reality.

Hinduism's Expansive Divine Landscape

Contrast this with our Sanatana Dharma. We have a cosmos teeming with divine energies, manifesting in countless forms. We have the Trimurti (Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva), the powerful Devi in her myriad forms (Durga, Kali, Lakshmi, Saraswati), Ganesha, Hanuman, and an endless pantheon of devas and devis. This isn't just a collection of deities; it's a recognition of the multifaceted nature of the Absolute.

Understanding Our Devatas

For us, these are not separate, warring gods. They are aspects, manifestations, and energies of the singular, formless Brahman. Worshipping Shiva doesn't negate Vishnu; it's like appreciating different facets of the same diamond.

The Jealous God: A Concept Alien to Dharma

One of the most striking differences lies in the very nature of the dictator-like Abrahamic God. The Bible, for instance, repeatedly emphasizes His jealousy. "For you shall not bow down to any other god, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God" (Exodus 20:5).

How This Contradicts Our Beliefs

This concept of divine jealousy is utterly foreign to Hindu philosophy. Our Gods don't demand exclusive worship out of insecurity. They embody principles. Their power and presence are not diminished by our devotion to other forms. In fact, devotion (Bhakti) is a path, and the chosen deity is a guide, a focal point.

What About Unbelievers?

Furthermore, the Abrahamic traditions often speak of punishment for disbelief or for worshipping "false gods." What happens to unbelievers in these faiths? Often, it's eternal damnation or separation from God. This punitive, exclusionary approach to those outside the faith is a stark contrast to the inclusive spirit of Dharma, which often focuses on karma and rebirth as natural consequences of one's actions and consciousness. Further mode, Hindu philosophy accepts atheists and one's karma alone, not the faith to God, is the only way to achieve salvation.

God's Nature: Singular Will vs. Cosmic Play (Lila)

The Abrahamic God is typically depicted as having a singular, often rigid, will that dictates all. There's a clear dichotomy: God's way, or the wrong way.

The Divine Lila

In Hinduism, we have the concept of Lila – the divine play. The universe and its workings are seen as a cosmic dance, a sport of the divine. This implies a certain freedom, a dynamic flow, and an inherent beauty in creation that doesn't stem from a singular, enforced decree but from the very nature of existence. Our Gods are not just rulers; they are participants, creators, preservers, and destroyers within this grand cosmic play.

The Impossibility of "Worshipping Like Any Other Hindu God"

This is where the rubber meets the road. Can we truly worship the Abrahamic God like we worship Vishnu or Devi? Absolutely not.

Exclusivity vs. Inclusivity

The Abrahamic God demands exclusivity. He cannot coexist in your heart's altar alongside Shiva, or Surya, or any other Devata. To worship Him "like any other Hindu god" would be to implicitly deny His absolute, singular claim. It would be to treat Him as one option among many, which is precisely what His theology forbids.

The Unintended Sacrilege

Attempting to offer Him prasad prepared in the same way as for Ganesha, or to chant mantras directed at Him alongside Vedic hymns, would be seen as an act of defiance or even blasphemy within the Abrahamic framework. It dilutes His singular nature.

So, What's the Takeaway?

We must be firm in our understanding of Dharma. Our spiritual path is rich, complex, and beautiful precisely because of its expansive nature. Trying to squeeze the Abrahamic God into our framework is not just theologically unsound; it’s an act that fundamentally misunderstands both traditions.

A Call for Clarity, Not Conflict

Let's foster clarity. Let's educate ourselves and others about the profound differences. This isn't about starting a religious war, but about preserving the integrity of our own beautiful tradition and understanding why certain integrations are simply impossible without compromising core tenets.

I'm genuinely curious to hear your perspectives. Have you encountered your family members visited churches to pray? Please educate them
