The demonisation of ordinary Hindus for questioning the Nehruvian consensus & pseudo-secularism of establishment elites is increasing by the day. We are derisively called ‘bhakt’ for supporting the efficient Modi government; ‘gaumutra drinkers’ for asserting our love for the cow; our epics (itihasa) and Gods are routinely slandered as prostitutes (Maa Durga), misogynist (Bhagwan Ram), eve-teasers (Sri Krishna). <\/em><\/p>\n

Each Hindu voice that speaks out against this incessant propaganda barrage is an act of heroic resistance against a massive global network of anti-Hindu bigotry. Here we present one such voice from twitter, where @Ajeeb_n_garib<\/a> recounts her personal journey from a Modi-supporter to an unapologetic Hindu fighting for her civlization.<\/em><\/p>\n

A couple of days ago, a friend from Assam posted a story in which she was blaming Modi for a local incident which ultimately turned out to be a fake news. I, being myself, couldn’t resist replying to her story which lead to a long heated argument. She mentioned how she will eat beef and she doesn’t give a thought what religion says about it. I suggested her to make sure that the beef she’s having was slaughtered legally as there are laws against illegal slaughter in most of the Bharatiya states.<\/p>\n

I explained how maximum beef trafficked to Bangladesh is trafficked through Bengal and other related facts. Now she was turning a little hysterical and ultimately when I said that she was wrong about Sabrimala and she need to listen why, she dropped the bomb saying, “You<\/em> are a bhakt, you won’t get it<\/em>.” I totally lost it here.<\/p>\n

Reading thousands of tweets, hundreds of articles and watching innumerable videos; all down the drain. My entire research and line of reasoning discredited with just one word.\u00a0Not only she took pride in her ignorance but demeaned my intellect just because I mentioned a couple of inconvenient facts. I never felt this frustrated ever before.<\/p>\n

After I calmed down, I started thinking about the entire episode and realized how “bhakt” has become a last line of defense for people who are bankrupt when it comes to logical arguments. It has become a medium of hate used by desperate souls when they start losing a debate.<\/p>\n

Wherever you see word “bhakt”, you will see a line of reasoning being dispensed by a Modi hater. ‘Woke’ kids are increasingly using this word to justify their stupidity and ignorance. And this made me sad. I’m a Mahadev bhakt and being called bhakt of a mortal is insulting to my entire belief system<\/strong>. I realized how this word “bhakt” have been strategically planted by the ecosystem to subtly demean Hindu Dharma.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Words like ‘Bhakt’ & ‘Gautmutra’ have become tropes for propagandists like AAP-supporter Dhruv Rathee to denigrate Hindus while couching their propaganda as Modi-criticism<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They have made this word an abuse for this generation, effectively creating a sense of inferiority in Hindus. And it doesn’t stop here. Words which were used by Pulwama terrorist are openly used by our woke generation. Gaumutra<\/em> jibes are frequently used to insult BJP supporters. What these people don’t realize is that because of their pure hatred against a politician, they are deprecating a civilization that their ancestors built with blood and sweat<\/strong>. The scariest part is that I don’t know whether this will ever stop or not.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
I really hope that Bharatiyas wake up before it’s too late. They stop insulting people who are fighting for their own civilization. Hindu Dharma is fighting a battle of survival and with such constant attacks, I’m afraid, we are not going to survive long enough.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I started supporting BJP because I was impressed by Modinomics, then I was disgusted by the opposition’s leftist propagandas and now I’m an unapologetic Hindu who will support anyone who can save my civilization from perishing.<\/p>\n

At this point of time, we can’t afford a government which will lead to a civil war because of their blatant minority appeasement and Hindu hatred.<\/p>\n
