A HINDU BY BIRTH, AM I PROUD TO BE A HINDU IN 2020 ? I USED TO BE ONE, AS HINDUISM TO ME WAS A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE SANS AN ESTABLISHMENT RULING OUR LIVES, BUT I AM NOT SO SURE IF I AM A PROUD HINDU NOW IN 2020. TO ME LOVE IS GOD, TRUTH IS GOD AND MY INNER VOICE WE CALL CONSCIENCE IS GOD. I DO NOT WANT ANY MAN BETWEEN ME AND MY GOD. CASTE SYSTEM AND UNTOUCHABILITY IN INDIA HAS TO GO. GOD CREATED ALL HUMAN BEINGS EQUAL.
