and genocide as purity. You can only organize against it. And to organize you need to name it. Hindutva is the enemy. Not Islam. Not Maoism. Not separatism. Not corruption. Not foreign influence. Hindutva. The union of Brahmanism and capital. The weapon of caste power. The shadow of empire. The enforcer of slavery.
The left must stop acting like this is a culture war. It is not. It is a class war where caste is the frontline. Every communist must understand that caste is not a side issue. It is the central structure holding up the entire system. The Indian state is built on caste. The economy is built on caste. The army, the schools, the elections, the bureaucracy, the media, all of it is caste. And Hindutva is the armed wing of that caste structure.
If you do not fight it, it will eat you. Not all at once. Slowly. From within. Like rust in iron. Like poison in water. Like fire in dry grass.

Mahatma Gandhi
I’ve observed Chaddis have a pathological hatred for Gandhi they hate Nehru too but not more than Gandhi and I’ve never understood why, he was not a liberal at all he was a staunch Hindu he never secularised himself in public, he was a closeted casteist and he frequently used to talk about Hindu gods and stories like Ramayana and Mahabharata still what is the reason chaddis hate him so much that they praise his killer, there has to be a deeper reason behind this

Sangh parivar were the biggest bootlickers of British
RSS, Hindu Mahasabha were the biggest bootlickers of British along with the Muslim League. Savarkar told Hindus to join British Army that would oppose the Azad Hind Fauj of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Shyama Prasad Mukherji of Hindu Mahasabha told the Governor of Bengal that he can help to suppress the Quit India Movement. Infact this entire Sangh Parivar back then opposed the Quit India Movement. Shyama Prasad Mukherji in his diary also called Netaji "anti-national". RSS was also against the tricolor national flag and after 52 years hoisted it in 2002. They were also against the national anthem. They didnt do anything when Bhagat Singh was jailed, when civil disobedience movement took place, when Simon Go Back movement took place, when Quit India movement took place, when Netaji's INA prisoners were facing trials at Red fort, when Naval mutiny took place. These people were only against Mahatma Gandhi, Congress and to a great extent Muslims and Christians (which is also debatable because Savarkar himself supported Jinnah's 2 nation theory and also formed coalition government with Muslim League in Sindh, NWFP and Bengal). Infact Sardar Vallabhai Patel after death of Mahatma Gandhi banned RSS for a year. When British were arresting Congress leaders, they didnt arrest any RSS, Mahasabha leaders and also praised Savarkar as an ally. These people historically havent achieved anything except for further instigating riots, violence and deaths of Hindus, Muslims but still think they are the people who get to decide who is a "true nationalist" and a "true Hindu", as if these terms mean anything.

Representing India as an NRI
I recently had an interesting conversation with one of my friends regarding this. Foreigners tend to stereotype Indians quite a bit and my friend basically said that they don't say anything bad about India in front of others because they might use this information to stereotype other Indians.
Now, as much as I understand what they mean, I feel like it is quite disingenuous to completely avoid the social issues which plague India, but obviously I don't want others to stereotype Indians and basicallydiscriminatei/isolate us in these foreign countries.
I'm not sure what would be the right thing here. I would like to ask for other opinions. What do you think?

Hindutva Is the Death of the Living
Hindutva is not a religion. It is not faith. It is not culture. It is a fascist political machine built by caste elites, financed by capital, and protected by the state. It has nothing to do with worship and everything to do with power. It is not trying to kill everyone in its path. It is trying to break them down into obedient workers, housewives, soldiers, informants. Hindutva is slavery rebuilt as nationalism. It is caste apartheid in the uniform of a soldier. It is the enemy of every worker, every student, every farmer, every woman, every Muslim, every Dalit, every voice that does not bend the knee. And the only reason it rules is because the Indian state let it.
The British never ruled India alone. They ruled with Brahmins, zamindars, and merchant castes. The same people who today run Hindutva ran colonial India for the empire. In return for loyalty, the British gave them the tools to dominate the rest of the population. They rewrote local customs as religion, froze caste into law, turned myths into history, and armed the top of the caste ladder with state power. The word Hinduism itself is a colonial invention. There was no such unified thing before. There was only Brahmanism and a patchwork of regional cults, practices, deities, and caste hierarchies. The British wanted a census, so they invented categories. They wanted allies, so they elevated Brahmins. They wanted loyalty, so they gave land and education to collaborators. Then they funded race science in Europe, built the myth of Aryan superiority, and the Indian elites swallowed it whole.
Savarkar read this garbage and saw his future. A Hindu Reich modeled after Nazi Germany, where blood and soil would replace freedom and solidarity. He rejected spirituality and built a racial identity. Hindus were not a religion anymore. They were a race. Their land was sacred, their enemies were internal. Muslims, Christians, communists, and anyone who refused to submit became the target. The RSS was born as a paramilitary. Uniforms, drills, marching, flags, oaths. Children were trained to hate. Hate the Other, worship the State, obey the Party. Hindu Rashtra was never about belief. It was about control. It still is.
Congress never destroyed it. Congress coexisted with it. They banned books, outlawed Maoists, gunned down revolutionaries, passed emergency laws, and jailed trade unionists. But they never touched the RSS. They never dismantled caste power. They never gave land to the landless. They never rebuilt the police or courts or textbooks after empire. The only reason Hindutva was in the shadows for decades was because it didn’t need to rule directly. Congress was already doing its work. The difference now is that the mask is off. The temples are corporate headquarters. The universities are jails. The TV studios are war rooms. The police are gangs. The laws are weapons.
This is not religion. This is fascism. It is modern, not ancient. It was built in the twentieth century. It is backed by billionaires, arms dealers, tech companies, and the same international powers that once backed colonialism. It has no interest in truth. It wants myths. It has no interest in harmony. It wants silence. It has no interest in peace. It wants surrender. It is not interested in killing everybody. That would be too inefficient. It wants you alive, afraid, watching your words, proving your loyalty, hating your neighbors, fearing your children, blaming the weak. It wants you broken.
This is what makes it more dangerous than other forms of fascism. It doesn’t only rely on the military. It lives inside the family, the school, the marriage, the temple, the wedding, the water tank, the office, the village council, the WhatsApp group, the TV remote. It does not knock on your door. It is already inside your head. And it is not going anywhere unless you tear it out.
You cannot vote it out. You cannot debate it. You cannot negotiate with it. You cannot educate it. You cannot reason with people who see rape as tradition, lynching as justice, poverty as karma,

What jobs do you all work at? I am feeling lost since I do not want to be exploited, nor do I want to be involved in something exploitative but I do not have too many options.
I will be graduating in the beginning of next year. I am in Germany doing my masters in physics but academia is toxic now and follows the "market". I have grown aversive of it. Anyway, I don't want to live here and I want to come back to India. But I don't know what I will do once I am back. Firstly, speaking from my part-time experience at an institution here, I don't think I can do a stressful desk job. I don't want to be exploited and at the same time I don't to exploit someone else. I am mentioning this because some people suggested me to join JEE-NEET coaching centres since, according to them, they pay a lot to the teacher. My problem is, they charge a lot from the students and I don't want to be part of it. I think I can teach but I don't have the means to start something by myself yet where I can teach the students in need at a considerable cheaper price. I think about joining politics as an independent candidate but I don't have the money for it. Maybe I'll start by contesting for Sarpanch's post in my village.
Once my father retires in a couple of years, I will be responsible for the house's finances and I do want to take care of my parents. He is bearing the cost of the loan we took when I came here. I, for sure, want to pay at least that for him as soon as possible.
I haven't been able to find a partner for myself because of conflicting political ideologies with the girls I went on dates with. Now, even though I will not let my parents force me into an arranged marriage, it surely is irritating when they keep mentioning it and when I oppose them, they start being dramatic, throwing Bollywood style dialogues at me. So, this adds to the mental pressure I am feeling.
Now, with all these things, and other family issues combined, my first goal is to find a way to earn. But what can I do? I don't what ethical job, where I will not have to sacrifice my ideals, I can do.
I thought of discussing it with you all. Any opinions on other matters mentioned here are also welcome.
I might not have framed it all in a coherent way. If it feels like I am jumping from one thing to the other, I ask for apologies. I am perpetually in a panic mode these days.

Lets talk about something I cannot get out of my head.
Not the best timing given recent events. I hate talking about this. I created r/menrightsindia, and r/onexindia. idk I was 15 okay. Do you remember being 15? During the lockdown when you have to look at a screen for 10 hrs a day? when "crazed feminazi rekt" videos were at their peak? I do.
This really fucks with your brain, I was an angry teenager. At least when online. I would say I have escaped the manosphere, even after going down its deepest rabbit holes. I shut down r/menrightsindia and handed over r/onexindia and just left. Unsubscribing from all political/gender war subreddits.
You become a noticeably nicer person once every post on your feed doesn't make you angry in some way. I wasn't ignorant, I kept up, talked to friends, and slowly stopped caring or being angry about the issues I once so deeply cared about. Nothing kicks the MRA out of you like a female friend asking you to take a different road when walking with her because 'vahan pe ladke chedhte hai'. That and some perspective-enhancing puff-puff pass.
But there is something that I cannot get out of my head, no matter what. The one thing I picked up from the manosphere that I cannot let go of. The fact that India does not have gender-neutral rape laws.
Men (and until very recently trans women), cannot be raped. A perpetrator can only be charged with other, weaker laws, with a max 7 years of punishment.
But the law itself doesn't make me as angry as the fact that, it was about to be fixed, it was about to be made gender-neutral, but Indian feminist groups fought against it. They fought to specifically exclude men.
You can read more here.
I understand their points, and I agree. Rape is a very gendered crime, it's about power. A gender-neutral law would have led to men filing counter rape cases when accused. But this change was fundamentally unjust.
When a crime is committed against you, it affects you directly, it's personal. You should have the right to justice, regardless of what wider societal consequences providing you justice has. You absolutely cannot ignore suffering or male victims, deny them justice and sweep them under the rug because of "the greater good". It's absurd to think this is justice. I am willing to die on this hill.
I get that not all feminists would support this, but where are they? Where were they when this change was being made? This is the last string that keeps trying to pull me to the manosphere. If feminism is a movement for women, who will fix this? If it's a movement for equality, what explains this?
This isn't an anti-feminist gotcha in disguise. I am really trying to see through here, but cannot.
