We investigate the reasons behind the weaponisation of Hinduism by the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing, paramilitary volunteer organisation that aims to create a Hindu Rashtra - a subcontinent only for the Hindus.

From supporting cow vigilantes in Rajasthan attacking Muslim cattle traders to spreading Islamophobia across RSS-backed television stations, why understand why India’s secular fabric is under threat.

The RSS has built close ideological connections with the ruling Bhartiya Janata Party, forcing the US Commission on International Religious Freedom recommending India be put on a State Department freedom of religion blacklist. Can secular Indians fight back to revive Gandhi’s ideals of a pluralistic, multi-faith society?

    We are deeply concerned about racism, women rights and gun violence in USA.

    Nice video CNA now i understand why secularism is in rise in Pakistan because there are no hindus left to threaten it 🙂.
  • @aryashah983
    It's crazy how the destruction of the Babri Masjid and construction of the Ram Mandir was portrayed as a negative thing. Imagine that tomorrow a group destroys the Kaaba and establishes a place of worship on top of it. Will Muslims not want to restore the Kaaba? According to these people, Hindus should have either tolerated the Babri Masjid or kept on waiting for something to be done just like they had for the past 400 years.

    VICTORY TO HINDUISM-THE LONGEST HISTORY OF 5000 YEARS OLD.
  • @rajibgr9104
    This Hindu aggression is built up as a natural reaction of Islamic aggression. You can see, Hinduism, Buddhism and Shikhism were present in Pakistan, Afganistan and Bangladesh too. But got almost cleared by an ethnic cleansing process present in Islamic politics. This violence is reaction of that aggression. Sad but unavoidable...
  • @rajbidika9123
    How come CNA is encouraging everyone to become Hindu nationalists?.......Great effort by CNA.
  • Secularism and democracy can't only be the burden and responsibility of the majority. If the minority is so uncooperative, aggressive and uncompromising then the present system can't sustain in India.
  • Always amazes me how documentaries about India hardly ever include Sikhs or Buddhists.
  • Other religions could thrive in Indian because of this land was following Hinduism. We as Hindus believe in union with divine and every persons path can be different. Being Hindu or rise of Hindu is not something dangerous or alarming. Stop attacking Hindus!
  • @AyushKumar-jt6eh
    We were secular minding our religion but jihadis didn't liked us that way as they have a great dream of gazwa-e-hind so we have developed a resistance to save our culture and religion.
  • @YousufAlee
    I look forward to your documentaries on how minorities are treated in Muslim countries
  • @jaisinha6378
    When you notice what facts CNA didn't tell , you become more right wing.
  • After watching this video I became Ex-secular now. thanks for remembering my kshatra ❤

    I don't know whether the step taken by the Indian Government is right or not, but I can assure you of the fact that it was "necessary", looking at the constant attack on the religion of Hinduism.
