India’s very own equivalent of MAGA have Modi’s support as they keep him empowered. I’m a Hindu and know that this ultranationalism is not what Hinduism is.
That’s what moderates in any religion says about the extremists in it. But the fact is that a religion cannot deny its responsibility in crimes committed in its name - because religion is the instrument used for indoctrination and radicalization. At best you can say that your religion is being misused.

Misused in the sense that if I dropped an open case of sharp knives in a daycare with smiley faces painted on them and then tied up all the workers.
Where have I heard that before? Oh wait literally every religion ever.
Honest question from an ignorant 'Murican, with no context about what this controversy is about:
To a Hindu, would naming the lion ‘Akbar’ kinda be like naming an elephant ‘Hitler’ in Israel?
Or is this all just a religious/ cultural thing that makes no sense to outsiders such as myself?
