Sanatan Dharma: An Ideology or the Entire Hindu Community?
Even V.D. Savarkar, the most influential ideologue of Hindutva, hardly conflated ‘sanatan dharma’ with the entire Hindu community, unlike the BJP's position on the current controversy over the term.

Sorry for this misunderstanding.
Obviously you get your information about Hinduism from people like Michael Droberg, whose qualification is having "served in combat, during Operation Iraqi Freedom from January to December 2009".
So I don't think you are interested in my opinions about Hinduism. Again, sorry for having bothered you.
Bye.

I started using Sanatana Dharma to stop Sangh Parivar groups from twisting my words as an attack on Hindu beliefs: Thirumavalavan
While Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin’s recent comments about “eradicating Sanatana Dharma” have snowballed into a political controversy, it was VCK founder Thol. Thirumavalavan who had enshrined Sanatana Dharma in the lexicon of Tamil Nadu’s political discourse over the past five years.

Atheism: There is no creator, no person who made us or our world.
So, reincarnation and atheism fits perfect. Ask a Jaina or Buddhist.

His monolithic view of Hinduism may serve the agenda of the RSS and its pro-Hindutva adherents but falls far short of the standards of philosophical and historical scholarship.

The BJP May End up Tying Itself in Knots By Attacking Udhayanidhi Stalin
The concept of sanatana dharma was given shape by the Hindu orthodoxy in the 19th century as a movement against reformist organisations like the Arya Samaj and Brahmo Samaj, which questioned regressive practices such as sati and child marriage.

Capturing Vivekananda's legacy was much easier for the Sangh Parivar. The average Indian relates to him largely as a saffron-clad sanyasi. That's all RSS would like them to know, writes Yogendra Yadav.
