There exist some false equivalences in society which help in creating a deracinated generation of Hindus. “All religions are the same”, “Every religion teaches good”,”Islam is a religion of peace”, These are some of the false equivalences we are being fed to us in our school days which are responsible for the separation of logical and critical thinking from our brains and also are responsible for the creation of deracinated Hindus. These sentences should be considered pure and pious and should not be questioned by anyone who doesn’t want to achieve the title of a “communal person”. But sadly these sentences don’t hold water. The reality seems to be the exact opposite of what these pious sentences deliver. Instead of Islam holding the title of a peaceful religion, it holds the undisputed title of “The religion of genocide”.

The above 3 sentences play a very vital role in producing a generation of deracinated Hindus who are cut off from their cultures and traditions. This deracinated generation of Hindus shares a deep sense of self-loathing tendency and is apologetic about their existence. Wearing tilak, dhoti, saree, sindur, mangalsutra is considered old fashioned and in no time the deracinated generation labels the person as old fashioned, misogynist, patriarch, and whatnot. Speaking the truth is termed as spreading hate into society. Asking for equal rights for Hindus is termed as deliberately trying to create unrest in society. Asking for the revival of sacred Hindu temples is termed Islamophobia. Speaking in the mother tongue is considered illiterate. The deracinated Hindus built their comfort zones to run away from reality. This deracinated generation has mastered the art to turn a blind eye to everything uncomfortable. “Comfortable Lie comes with repercussion”. The deracinated generation will never be able to protect its civilization and therefore every awakened hindu must try to loosen the grip of this deracination in Hindus.
