Actually, more than being enthusiastic about the UPA-II that had completed an uninspiring five years, the magazine was outrightly disapproving of the challenger, Narendra Modi. Its argument was less focused on the future of Indian capitalism under Modi but principally centred on the BJP’s alleged programme of social divisiveness.

TIME TO SPEAK UP AGAINST THE HINDUPHOBIA OF FOREIGN WRITERS

Vamsee Juluri, professor of media studies at the University of San Francisco, speaks up for the anonymous Hindu who, he says, was silent all those years of the colonial rule only to be criticized as an ‘oppressor’ post-Independence.

Juluri tells Narayani Ganesh that foreign ‘experts’ have only contributed to the misconceptions.

Hinduphobic Nazi Rally held at Colors Hoxton in London

Some pissed off Hindus from the LGBTQ community brought this to our attention. A Hungama event was held at Colors Hoxton club in London recently, where again we witnessed how Hinduphobic Nazi propaganda via appropriating Run DMCs art promoted under the guise of attacking the CAB/CAA bill in faraway India.
