Just My Thoughts 💭

if you believe in secularism, then explain this. this video is reportedly from hampi, where some muslim visitors appear to be walking over a shivling with their shoes on. and yet, we’re supposed to believe that religious disrespect is never an issue? this is southern india, where people take pride in peaceful coexistence, but apparently, standing up for hindu sentiments is suddenly a problem. we north indians are constantly mocked as uncivilised, called “gaaye gobar” people, and blamed for communal politics. but when incidents like this happen, where does all that talk about tolerance and secularism go? why is disrespect towards hindu deities and sanatan heritage so casually brushed aside? and be honest, if the same thing happened at an islamic religious site, would people be this dismissive? i’m sick of the double standards. our philosophy is simple: live and let live. respect our faith, our deities, and our heritage, just as we respect yours. stop expecting hindus to swallow every insult in the name of secularism and then lecture them about tolerance when they speak up. asking for basic respect doesn’t make someone an andhbhakt or islamophobic. it makes them someone who refuses to accept hypocrisy. repeated disrespect breeds resentment, and pretending otherwise won’t make the problem disappear. religious tolerance cannot mean that one community gets to express its outrage while another is expected to remain silent. stop the double standards, stop disrespecting each other’s faith, and stop treating hindu sentiments as if they don’t matter. india has bigger goals to achieve than endless religious hostility. if we want this country to move forward, mutual respect has to go both ways. the whole world isn’t going to become muslim, and nobody should be expected to abandon their faith to prove they’re secular. live and let live. respect our faith, or don’t preach to us about tolerance.
