Welcome to Holi Against Hindutva | A Celebration of Unity and Resistance

Holi, the vibrant festival of colors, is a time for joy, togetherness, and the celebration of life. Traditionally, Holi marks the arrival of spring and symbolizes the victory of good over evil. However, Holi Against Hindutva seeks to reclaim this timeless celebration as a platform for social justice, unity, and resistance against divisive ideologies, particularly the growing influence of Hindutva.

Holi is a universal festival that brings people of different backgrounds together. In India, it transcends religious lines, with Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, and others joining in the festivities. However, the rise of Hindutva—an exclusionary political ideology that promotes a singular, Hindu-centric vision of India—threatens this unity. This movement seeks to divide rather than unite, pushing the narrative that India is exclusively a Hindu nation, often marginalizing its religious minorities.

At Holi Against Hindutva, we believe that Holi can be a powerful tool for resistance. By celebrating this festival of colors, we affirm that diversity is the strength of India. Our celebration is not only an expression of joy but also a stand for the values of secularism, equality, and social justice. This is a movement that seeks to unite people, celebrate differences, and fight for a more inclusive, fair India.

Holi: A Festival of Diversity and Unity

Holi is more than just a celebration of color; it is a celebration of humanity. The essence of Holi lies in its inclusivity—everyone, regardless of caste, creed, or religion, is invited to partake in the festivities. The colors represent the diversity of the human experience, and the throwing of color signifies the breaking down of barriers between people.

Holi Against Hindutva seeks to restore this true spirit of Holi by challenging the divisive forces that seek to undermine India’s pluralistic society. We use this festival as an opportunity to remind people that India’s strength lies in its diversity. By coming together and celebrating each other’s differences, we send a clear message that divisiveness has no place in our society.

The Role of Holi in Resistance

While Holi is traditionally seen as a festival of fun and celebration, it also holds deep symbolic value. It represents the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and unity over division. At Holi Against Hindutva, we see this symbolism as a call to action against the forces that seek to divide and polarize Indian society. We believe that this is a time for unity, not division.

Our celebration of Holi goes beyond the festival itself; it is an ongoing movement for social justice and equality. Every splash of color is a reminder of our commitment to creating a more inclusive India. By celebrating together, we challenge Hindutva ideologies and assert that India belongs to all its citizens, regardless of their religion.
