      Originally, it is a Hindu chant praising one of Hinduism’s Gods. Violent Hindu supremacists have turned this into a call for violence, it is now a much feared war cry… Much like ‘Allahu Akbar’ which means ‘Allah is great’ was turned by Islamic terrorists into their war cry.

        So I don’t know a lot about that region. What do Hindu supremacists believe (aside from the obvious supremacy part)?

          They believe in

          1. using violence to terrorize anyone who disagrees with them
          2. using gangrape as a legitimate tool to terrorize women, including women journalists, into silence
          3. terrorizing Muslims and Christains and burning mosques & churches and holy books
          4. anyone opposing them is a terrorist Khalistani communist jihadi liberal naxal maoist (often, all at the sam time)
          5. dehumanizing people from oppressed communities/ castes like Dalits & Adivasis
          6. purity of cow’s urine and eating cow’s poop and encourage people to consume it

          They don’t believe in

          1. democracy
          2. peace
          3. diversity
          4. equality

              1. Some of those points are outright ridiculous,

              Which points are ridiculous?

              1. They consider those who oppose them, looking at Muslims here, terrorists and satanists (whatever the Hindu equivalent of that may be).

              When have Muslims opposed them? Haven’t Muslims only reacted in self-defence? and now they’ve stopped doing even that.

              There is no satanism in Hinduism, satan is a Christian concept and shaitan is a Muslim concept. There are asuras and rakshas in Hinduism, but Hindu supremacists don’t consider Muslims to be those, They call Muslims ‘Aurangzeb ki aulad’ after the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Even though the mahant of Kashi Vishwanath asserts that Modi destroyed more temples with his KV corridor than Aurangzeb in his lifetime.
