Hindutva and Zionism hurdles to peace and democracy: Scholars

[lem34]

Of course. Its unfair. But neither do I agree with this Hindutva BS peddled by the likes of RSS/BD etc. Its mere politics.

I agree with a person being patriotic or nationalistic because I think you can do that without being racist, but anything that goes further than patriotic worries me

 

[oFFbEAT]

so would you say its unfair to put it along Zionism as the article does because I know a lot about that and don't agree with that

You are correct.........
But considering that Zionism does not have a uniform ideology(It may be related to racism as well as nationalism etc.), one cannot totally disagree with the concept.........you can relate the Nationalist part of Zionism to Hindutva

Is it clear now ?????????........

At that time Patriotic and nationalistic sense was necessary for freedom struggle but post independence that went deviated from the original track. Anything beyond patriotic shouldn worry u but anything that discriminates should.....

you have absolutely no fricking idea of hindutva....

Hindutva and Zionism have a common enemy and that is Islam and Muslims.

Why do you think Israel and India are close allies? Because of their shared hatred for Islam and Muslims.

 

[Veritas]

Hindutva is many things to many people. You can take it as what they call "Social Conservatives" in western world. People who couple religious beliefs with Politics and Policy making.

You have radical social conservatives and social moderates etc. Basic premise is to make India true to its home born traditions and culture in everyday life to governance.

India and Israel co-operate with each other and are not allies.. Please show me when, where and how an alliance is formalized. Again, a Pakistani playing Indian Defense Ministry insider.

hindutva = islamic(pakistani) ideology

hidden meaning not interpreted by my well nurtured pakistani counterparts.

^ Dream on. Hindutva is the opposite of Islam.

 

[blood]

the only difference is that hindutva is never encouraged in india , specially in metro cities like chennai , bangalore , mumbai , this ideology does not seem to have enough support among the hindus , while the pakistan radical islam enjoys a lot of support from the masses .

Nice to know that scholar ji.

Hindutva is against everything India stands for. It is a vicious ideology that results in Historical revisionism, bigotry , spreading conspiracies and a false sense of superiority.

Zionism is a result of holocaust. I think its given way too much importance than it deserves.

 

[EjazR]

Wherever you have a mixture of religion and politics these are hurdles to peace and civilised society. Particularly when the move into an extremist, totalitarian tangent.

And all religions have their variants of political religious ideologies which are - apart from the religion they invoke - very similar to each other in their tactics and methods

Zionisim or political Judaism, Hindutva's political Hinduism and Islam's political Islamist ideology are quite similar in their world view.

And the irony is adherents to their politically motivated versions of ideology are not personally religious at all. Ben Gurion for example was not an observant Jew and neither was Sarvarkar and observant Hindu. He openly advocated eating Beef for example and refused cremation ritual for his wife.

The only way these ideologies can be combated is by the adherents of the religion to isolate the proponents within them. So only muslims can combat political Islamist ideology sucessfully, just like only Jews can combat extremist Zionist ideology and only Hindus can combat extremist Hindutva proponents.
