'Hindus lack Unity' is a popular narrative among Hindutvavadis. This (paranoid narrative) is undoubtedly a result of how insular - and consequently, ignorant - the Hindutva movement is. There is no major religion, whose adherents are as united as Hindus.
2/5

Just the existence of the Indian Nation-State is sufficient proof of H unity. Divisions due to sect(Sunni-Shia Civil War), ethnicity(Kurd vs Turk, Persian v Arab) & race(Olive/Light Brown North Africans against Sub-Saharan Africans) in the M world are extreme in comparison.
3/5

Another popular phrase is '1000 saal ki Ghulami'. But what we had was more akin to approximately 1050 years of relatively successful defensive warfare, followed by successful offensive warfare & reclaiming of lost territories from the West/Central-Asianised ruling-classes.
4/5

Hindutva manages to be obsessed with Ms - granting them the same sort of omnipotence that 'Whiteness' is given in Woke circles - while, at the same time, being utterly ignorant of them.
5/5

Even 19th century British Imperialists were well-informed on 'native' populations they sought to colonise. In the age of information, the Hindutva movement is less informed than them.
