In his rush to defame Hindutva ideology, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has compared it to Islam and Christianity, thereby receiving backlash.
Bengaluru: Congress leader Shashi Tharoor seems to be the favourite child of controversies.
In his latest gaffe and goof up, he has compared the concept and ideology of Hindutva to Islam and Christianity.
In this regard, he put out a tweet.

This tweet comes days after the Congress leader expressed his displeasure over Islamic fundamentalism taking over the protests against Citizenship Amendment Act. He had warned that extremism of any kind was not beneficial to the cause of democracy.

But he had received massive backlash from Islamic fundamentalists.
Back to his tweet on the comparison of Hinduism Shashi Tharoor scored a self-goal as he, in his endeavour to sully Hindutva, only ended up needlessly humiliating both Islam and Christianity.
As the Hindu-hating brigade is out with gusto and gumption to put down Hinduism, it is pertinent to note how this gang remains even sincere in spreading misinformation. We bust the myth.

Hinduism |
How they sully Hinduism |
|
It is a great union of various cultures |
But they always endeavour to say Dalits/tribals are not Hindus |
|
Hinduism has various texts like Vedas and puranas |
But they always endeavour to say that these texts are regressive |
|
Hinduism is pluralistic |
But they always endeavour to say Hindutva is ready to take over |
Incidentally, Shashi Tharoor never hesitates from displaying his anti-Hindu attitude every time he gets an opportunity.
Just recently, a Kerala court had issued an arrest warrant against him for his derogatory remarks against Nair women in his book The Great Indian Novel written in the year 1989.
Incidentally, just a few months before that, in August 2019, a Kolkata court had issued an arrest warrant against the leader for his “Hindu Pakistan” comment.
Tharoor had said, “If they (BJP) win a repeat in the Lok Sabha our democratic constitution as we understand it will not survive as they will have all the elements they need to tear apart the constitution of India and write a new one. That new one will be the one which will enshrine principles of Hindu Rashtra, that will remove equality for minorities, that'll create a Hindu Pakistan and that isn't what Mahatma Gandhi, Nehru, Sardar Patel, Maulana Azad and great heroes of freedom struggle fought for."
