Considering the glut of symbolism from other religions that pops up in movies every microsecond, "Hindu Symbolism" should not even be a concern.

The fact that it makes the liberal establishment see red where there is saffron just brings out their hatred and bigotry in the open. https://twitter.com/OpIndia_com/status/1196994071555801088

The image of a church doesn't remind them of, say, the Goan Inquisition or land acquisition. The image of a mosque doesn't remind them of, say, take your pick from Bhansali's muse to Schuer's.

The image of a flag, not even a temple, takes them to high flights of drunken fancy.

You now see where the asymmetry comes from. When they, or worse, we, compare one with the other as if they exist on the same pedestal in some morally uplifted, constitutionally valid, intellectually validated universe, we are simply falling prey to the beast of false equivalence.

If you have a patch of grass and a copse of trees, the only way to level the growing field is to cut off the trees.

The nice flat surface you then get, with rings that recount stories if only you knew the language, could be used to stand and talk about the glory of old trees.

Grass grows fast. If you have five blades of grass they become twenty five in no time.

Trees take time, and if you need more trees, you need to have acorns, you need to have land on which you can plant acorns that can then grow into trees, and you need to have the right weather.
