Between Denial and Despair: The Effete Mindset Holding Hindus Back

Two opposing reader emails reveal a deeper crisis in Hindu society — one rooted in denial, the other in frustration.

Many Hindus remain effete: unwilling to educate themselves, contribute, or take responsibility, preferring excuses and comfort over action.

The first reader’s objection to “division” reflects fear of truth and a habit of mistaking silence for virtue.

The second reader’s anger over temple control and weak leadership is valid but misplaced; VHPA’s role in America is awareness, not activism in Bharat.

Stop Hindudvesha asserts that awareness is action — silence has cost Hindus too much, and truth must now speak without apology.
