Those who hate and abuse Hinduism know they cannot attack it directly and so they attack Hindutva instead, conveniently ignoring the fact that Hindutva is the essence of Hinduism. If Hindustan is to be saved, Hinduism needs to be saved. And only Hindutva can save it. My views:

VIDEO | "There is a big difference between Hindutva and Hinduism. Hindutva is about feeling of hatred, which Savarkar used to spread in the 40's, which aimed to establish hegemony of Hindus, and the philosophy was about India being of the Hindus and for the Hindus. Hinduism, like Islam, is a religion that promotes secularism, love and compassion, let's not deliberately distort it. 'Jai Shree Ram' slogan is no more about Ramrajya, rather it is being used during mob lynching. Hinduism is being distorted," says PDP leader Iltija Mufti (Iltija Mufti). #Hinduism #Hindutva

#WATCH | Kolkata: At 'The Debate 2026' hosted by the Calcutta Club, TMC MP Mahua Moitra says, "... Hindutva believes that as a political platform, mine is the only way, and Hinduism believes as a religion and a spiritual platform, that there is room for a lot of others along the way. A Hindu practitioner in Hinduism can imagine love between Hindus and Muslims, but a Hindutva practitioner will say, No, this is love jihad. A Bengali Hindu eating meat will offer meat to Maa Kaali, but a practitioner of Hindutva will say that's not on... So the core question here is, does Hinduism need to protect itself from Hindutva? I would say that the best way to continue to protect Hinduism is to continue to realise that Hindutva is there because Hinduism was there..."

What Was Hinduism Like Before "Hindutva" Existed? In the Calcutta Club debate on 'Whether Hinduism Needs Protection From Hindutva', Mani Shankar Aiyar says, "You have seen that Hindutva vigilantes beat up and even kill anyone suspected of hoarding, eating, or transporting beef (cow’s meat)." He then quotes Gandhi, saying, "It is a denial of Hinduism and ahimsa to kill a human being to protect a cow." And then attributes this violent Hindu reaction to 'Hindutva', saying "How then can Hinduism rely on thugs and murderers calling themselves Hindutvawadis to protect itself?" So, for the likes of Aiyar, here is a sneak peek into the history of Hinduism (as told by foreign travellers), long before Hindutva - the "bigoted", "exclusionary" ideology invented in the 19th century- existed. This is what Hindus, i.e. the believers of 'Hinduism', used to do with anyone who dared kill a Cow:

Hindutva came only in 1923; for thousands of years before Hindutva, Hinduism faced trial and tribulation and yet survived, flourished, with no need of Hindutva protection...

The Hindutva camp wanted to find fault with what our leader A RAJA said about Hinduism. Asked them did they know what Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar spoke about Hinduism? “If Hindu Raj does become a fact, it will, no doubt be the greatest calamity for this country. No matter what the Hindus say, Hinduism is a menace to liberty, equality and fraternity. It is incompatible with democracy. Hindu Raj must be prevented at any cost.” They muted me 🤣🤣🤣

If Islam is not to be associated with terrorism, it’s important for peace-loving Muslims to clearly denounce it. Islam, Islamic faith, Islamism and political Islam are not the same and blurring these lines fuels misunderstanding and harm. Just as Hinduism is not Hindutva.

Mahua Moitra & J Sai Deepak's Fiery Exchange Over Hindutva & Hinduism “Hindutva Exists Because…” The Debate 2026 by the Calcutta Debating Circle sets the stage for a charged and unfiltered clash on one of India’s most polarising questions: “Hinduism Needs Protection From Hindutva.” A fiery face-off between TMC MP Mahua Moitra and legal scholar J Sai Deepak as they lock horns over faith, politics, identity, and the future of Indian democracy. Sharp arguments, ideological fault lines, and no easy answers. This is a debate that cuts to the core of contemporary India. Moitra took jibes at her senior Swapan Da, which obviously people found uncalled for and not funny at all. J Sai Deepak, opposing the motion, he argued that Hinduism actually needs protection from secularism, rather than Hindutva. He challenged the narrative that Hindutva began with V.D. Savarkar in 1923. Instead, he traced its roots to 19th-century Bengal (1860s–1909) as an “organic Shakta response” to colonial invasion, citing figures like Bankim Chandra Chatterjee and Sri Aurobindo. He countered claims that Hindutva is “hyper-masculine” or strictly “Brahminical vegetarian,” asserting that Bengali masculinity and Shakta traditions (which include offerings of meat and alcohol) are foundational to Hindutva. J Sai Deepak argued that Hindutva is a civilizational necessity that translates into a political vision, and that it is unconstitutional to deny political representation to Hindutva while allowing it for other ideologies like communism. The event featured sharp rebuttals against co-debaters Mani Shankar Aiyar and Mahua Moitra. He accused Aiyar of conflating Hindutva solely with Savarkar and questioned Moitra on whether she had similar critiques for non-Hindu worldviews. The debate, which also featured Sudhanshu Trivedi and Ashutosh, concluded with the audience overwhelmingly voting against the motion, supporting J Sai Deepak's stance. In no way Moitra could’ve matched J Sai, nowhere near and totally decimated. Credit : ANI.

The only thing more vile than mocking the supreme sacrifice of Sambhaji Maharaj, is cushioning the barbarism of Aurangzeb. To do both in the same breath proves that India is a nation whose history has and continues to be written by those who hate Hindus, Hinduism, and Hindustan.
