Who Is A Liberal Hindu

[Guest]

A liberal Hindu belongs to the urban middle class who does not have the hand to mouth existence. He/She has some English education, a bit tech savvy. No fan of Hindu Dharma but big fan of secularism. Has urban elite consciousness and thinks of rural India as an alien world of the deep past that has to be changed to fit the commercial world of use and abandon. A liberal Hindu is a non-Hindu in practice and anti-Hindu in attitude. He seldom visits place of worship and have contempt for Hindu Saadhus. He thinks all religions are same or that Christianity is a bit superior so he would quote from the bible. He does not think that conversion is to be opposed. He would be either a mute spectator to the attacks on Hindu saadhus or would uphold such attacks spewing venom on the saadhus and hold their institutions as archaic. He will say that the law should be applied against the Hindus but would either ignore corruption or participate in it with zest. He buys the view that Hindu is a hotbed of casteism and superstitions. Intercaste and inter-religious marriages are the way to go for him. Existentialism is his philosophy.

He wouldn't think for a moment that Sonia Maino is uneducated and an alien robbing Indians. For him she is a demi-goddess and he drools at her!

And so on and so forth in these lines.

Swamyji you wouldn't fit the description. So stop calling yourself a liberal.
