As a kid, I remember how embarrassed I was made to feel to even have a tilak on my forehead on the morning of Raksha Bandhan. Those were the subtle ways in which the Hindu identity in India was being destroyed gradually. And, that attack has only changed its ways, its mechanism. Let us see how.
“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.” ― Blaise Pascal
Yesterday we saw in the interview with Smriti Irani, when TimesNow’s Navika Kumar tries to brush away the expression of Hindu identity, Ms Irani clarifies. She asserts that the Indian constitution gives her the right to express herself, her religion, her ways openly. So who the heck is Navika Kumar to tell her not to?
For many years now, Hindus - remember how Leftists with Soviet (and Chinese) take over of Indian polity were ruling the elites? - have been made to be ashamed of their culture.

And, for that, he has full rights as a citizen.

Biased Google searches – nay bigoted – are a reality!
Google searches are the world’s window to knowledge and information. If that window is tinted in a certain color and prejudice then the world will be judged and seen differently.
