Dude or Maam, I don't know why you think I am preachy, but at least I am not preaching hatred unlike most other posts. Coming to your point -
I am not influenced by JNU or western views. I have read Hindu texts like Manusmriti which denigrates certain sections of people to sub-human levels. I know how some (though not all) Hindus treat their women. I have seen how widowhood is looked down upon by some Hindus. I have known of clashes on the basis of caste where serious atrocities have been perpetrated. If I go into the realm of Hindu spiritualism, chances are, that I will encounter some of the loftiest philosophical ideas like Advaita Vedanta or Patanjali Yoga. However, I am not talking about the spiritual issues here. I am talking about social issues.
