I am a spiritual person who strongly believes in the Vedic philosophy. This naturally makes me quite liberal and in general, comfortable with others. philosophies.
However, I find it impossible to speak about my spiritual leanings or my secular mindset in open without anonymity. The majority of my friends are Hindus, but none of them are open to discussing anything remotely Hindu/Vedic. In fact, I get judged as old-fashioned if anyone gets to know about me reciting shlokas and mantras (you know how it is). If I choose to worship on Diwali or Holi instead of playing cards or consuming bhang, I am mocked. So, I ended up becoming quite private about my spiritual side.
On the other hand, if I express my secular side, I get attacked by some random people claiming to be Hindus. For instance, if I were to say that it's wrong to harass the entire community for the fault of a sponsored group, it's a crime. If I were to say killing innocent, common people of any faith for the mistake of a few people is totally unjustified, I get called "Librandu", "Sikular").
It's almost like, "Hum jaayein to jaayein kahan, kahein to kahein kya?"
Now coming to the title of the post.
I have been observing that there's a definite large scale, well-funded war being raged against India across social media. Multiple fractions are being created and being successfully made to fight each other. My hypothesis is that this war is super well funded, probably better than a real war would need to be. There are people inside and outside India working on this. It's quite evident from the Twitter accounts of people participating in trending hashtags around Hindu-Muslims, Daravidanadu, TN GDP contribution, Cow belt, etc.
They have succeeded radicalizing Muslims, Hindus, North and South Indians, Sikhs and Hindus etc. to make it a self-sustaining war. A lot of intellectual energy is being spent by Indians in participating in these wars and serving the agenda of these anti-national forces.
People like me need to come out and call this out. But the virus that has been set out by these perpetrators identifies us immediately and either infects us or silences us.
We need to really identify this war on a large scale before the white blood cells can start quashing the enemies and win this war.
We should not add any fuel to the fire by reacting with hate on any of the online arguments that have the potential of dividing us.
Can we have ever had an environment where talking about my Vedas, as well as a liberal mindset without being judged or being sucked into mindless this is that arguments?
