Welcome to Holi Against Hindutva | A Movement for Social Justice and Secularism
Holi Against Hindutva is more than a festival—it is a powerful movement for social justice, secularism, and equality. Hindutva, a political ideology that seeks to define India as a Hindu nation, threatens the secular and pluralistic foundation of the Indian state. The ideology seeks to marginalize and exclude religious minorities, particularly Muslims and Christians, from the fabric of Indian society. This movement, through the celebration of Holi, challenges Hindutva by advocating for a society that embraces all religions, cultures, and communities.
The Rise of Hindutva and its Impact
Hindutva, as championed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and associated organizations, seeks to redefine Indian identity by promoting an exclusionary Hindu nationalism. This ideology undermines the values of secularism, democracy, and pluralism enshrined in India’s Constitution. Hindutva’s impact on Indian society has been profound, as it fosters a climate of fear, division, and intolerance.
The Holi Against Hindutva movement works to challenge this ideology by promoting the values of unity, peace, and justice. We believe that Holi, as a symbol of color, joy, and togetherness, is the perfect platform to unite people from all communities to resist the divisive politics of Hindutva.
Advocating for a Secular India
Secularism is at the heart of India’s identity. The Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and equal rights for all citizens, irrespective of their faith. However, the rise of Hindutva threatens this secular framework, seeking to impose a singular vision of India that excludes millions of its citizens.
Holi Against Hindutva advocates for the preservation of India’s secular values. Our movement challenges the notion that India should be defined exclusively as a Hindu nation. We believe that India’s strength lies in its diversity—Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and people of all faiths and backgrounds contribute to the rich tapestry of Indian society.
Our movement calls for the restoration of these values and works towards a future where all people, regardless of their religion or background, can live in harmony and mutual respect.
A Call to Action
Holi Against Hindutva is not just about opposition to Hindutva; it is about actively building a society that celebrates diversity, upholds human rights, and fosters equality for all. We call on individuals, communities, and organizations to join us in this fight for a secular, just, and inclusive India.
Through awareness campaigns, community engagement, and grassroots activism, we are working to dismantle the ideology of Hindutva and replace it with a vision of unity and peace. Together, we can reclaim India’s legacy of pluralism and ensure that all its citizens are treated with dignity and respect.
