Anytime you ever want to see the "tolerant" nature of the #VHP's World Hindu Congress look at the alarming way they talk about Americans who are concerned about the normalization of #Hindu Fascism. " #StopHinduFascism #WHC2018 #WHC2018CHICAGO
Ultraleftists", "Islamists", and "Evangelists" so many slurs in one sentence. From Islamophobia, Redbaiting, to attacking Christians this is the #VHP showing its true colors.#StopHinduFascism #WHC2018 #WHC2018CHICAGO
This is why these people are so dangerous. Behind their shiny marketing campaign is frightening bigotry & worse. Only when #DalitBahujans who are resisting their campaigns of violence speak up do they suddenly lose their "safe space." #StopHinduFascism #WHC2018 #WHC2018CHICAGO
"Yet, if the 'rewriting of Indian history' was lurching ahead on the Hindutva fringe of academia, mainstream science was steadily advancing in quite another direction."

'cause some of you may not read this amazing story, I felt compelled to put this up. #Hindutva
must confess though; I do like the idea of the North Pole being in India.
As a follow-up to my #InternetMahabharata, I want to reflect--briefly--on the actual #Mahabharata, its increasingly overlooked importance, and the #Hindutva undermining of the epic. Thread:
Let me start with the personal - I love the Mahabharata. It is an incredible, awesome tale. In fact, many have asked what started me on the road of studying India. The answer is the Mahabharata. I took a class on the epic in college, and I was hooked for life. #Mahabharata
What makes the Mahabharata so fascinating? A lot of things - It's a window into social, cultural, and religious practices ~2,000 years ago (roughly when it was written). It is almost unbelievably detailed and intricate. It's a profound meditation on moral questions. #Mahabharata
