Hindu Narrative
#75
The year I joined medical college I recall a couple of seniors discussing a female classmate of mine whose surname was Guha.

One asked:

"Is she Bengali?"

The other replied "No. she's Hindu"

The exchange became a standing joke that was never forgotten, but this is indicative of the level of awareness that people still seem to have - although this story is 35 years old.

It is easy to rubbish someone else's Hinduness and pump up one's own. No law against that - but is we are looking for truth we have to be careful not to go about rubbishing other people until we have a better understanding of how Hinduism has touched and brought color and comfort in a trillion different ways across a continent. Hinduism is not about one book - one god - one path - one menu - one MacDonalds.

Don't make yourself and your views of Hinduism bigger than something that is older, more diverse and greater than you are or ever will be. Just narrate what you know and let the knowledge fill up space that needs filling.
