Become informed
Knowledge is the most powerful tool against hate. To effectively counter any supremacist ideology, one must not only understand its history and philosophy, but also be able to recognize its talking points and tactics of intimidation. Misinformation and ignorance allow such movements to thrive unchecked; informed communities, on the other hand, are equipped to recognize and resist them.
Below is an extensive list of resources—including articles, documentaries, and research papers—that will enable you to not only speak with authority on the subject of Hindutva, but also recognize its talking points, its tactics, and its key players.
