Shana Sippy Insinuates Identifying As Hindu is Exclusionary and Can Produce Hate

On Day 3, Session 2, Shana Sippy, Assistant Professor of Religion, Centre College at Carleton College, Minnesota, said: “To say one is a Hindu is to signal that one is not something else. And while the very experience of belonging, which we know well, and appreciate can involve powerful affective experiences and feelings of love, it is also the same kind of thing that produces the hate that we see in Hindutva’s many forms. This is one of the greatest threats and challenges that Hindutva’s Hinduism poses to other forms of Hinduism. Hindutva’s Hinduism is rapacious. It professes radical inclusivity, desiring to subsume all other Hindus and Hinduism throughout the globe into its fold. In doing this, the rhetoric employed by Hindutva leaders often belies reality. It not only seeks to include those who identify as Hindu, but also all dharmic religions and those who, it argues, have been converted out – Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Dalit Christians – who have you. It is deceptive doublespeak, claims to be blind to caste, but as it's been illustrated throughout this conference, Hindutva’s Hinduism continually retrenches caste.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aoOvDGt6zg at 23:26
