I am so glad Aakar Patel wrote this piece, now I understand him much better. Clearly, he has no understanding of Hindutva. Pro-Hindutva people may talk about Hindus having great surgical science to put Ganesh together. I typically don\'t find them saying Islam or Christianity are bad, although the reverse can be heard regularly in their places of worship. Yes, pro-Hindutva people have difficulty with the proselyting religions, who try to \"save\" us pagans. Sorry, the facts don\'t add up, Aakar.

He may be shot even in India. There are some murders happening in Maharashtra.
For once I totally agree with the author of the piece. He is right when he says the propagandists have made it a religion of bigots who are so closed minded that their entire focus is on other religions than looking within and growing in to a well rounded, well read and logical and rational human beings. Our spiritual quotient is only confined to great texts like Gita and Ramayana, puranas and vedas but in real life we are proving to be narrow minded, closed and prejudiced individuals. Time to take a walk all hindutava ideologues.

"has zero contribution to science, of course, and it has no contribution to anything of substance other than 'culture'"
Thus says the author; So would you want to believe that it has zero contribution to science. How ridiclous and how can you agree with him. Further he says there is no contribution of substance. How illiterate can you be?
