What Was Wendy Doniger Really Trying To Say?
“Hinduism has a thousand spirits, but Hindutva picks just one – a sanitised, anti-erotic thread and makes it the definitive representation, which it isn’t, just as the Bhagavad Gita is one among several Hindu texts.”
“Hinduism, unlike other leading monotheistic religions, has no leader, like the Pope or Imam. There are several Hindu leaders, but no one individual can say you can or cannot do this. The trick is then to make sure a Hindu leadership does not evolve.” (Italics mine)
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
