My finding out what reality was started with seeing the defaced interiors of Hindu temples. That led to an inquiry into what really happened: the invasions, the hindu holocaust, the mulla-missionaries' disdain for anything hindu. And slowly I started seeing how India was being misled by (a) people who have an interests in misleading (b) people who themselves have been misled and have internalized it and are now rationalizing things away to fit their screwed-up concept of reality.
So after a time, I knew exactly who was on my side and who was trying to get me to grovel like a beggar and keep me humiliated. The Hindu organizations, which had previously been "those kooky religious fools", were now seen to be fighting to tell the truth, and I shed that "Hindu *but*" tag. Now I am a Hindu who will string you up by your ****s if you fart around about Hindus like Aruhdhati Roy/Romila Thapar does.
