CNN, Reza Aslan and Hinduism – How ought to Hindus react and what ought to they do about it?

Final week CNN aired a present known as “Believers”, a documentary the place the host Reza Aslan, makes an attempt to grasp different faiths and present what it takes ot consider in varied faiths and religions.

Even previous to the airing of the present, my coronary heart sank once I began seeing trailers for this sequence as I knew Hinduism isn’t ever portrayed in gentle. Many Hindus from world wide began tweeting and sharing on social media their considerations concerning the portrayal of Hindus simply primarily based on the trailer.

My video is just not concerning the content material of the video, (which has been criticized broadly by information organizations, writers, journalists and politicians world wide) however extra concerning the reactions I witnessed from fellow Hindus.

They are often summarized in Four classes:
1) Full indifference
2) Proud that Hindus at the moment are on CNN
3) Hindus are helpless to do something
4) Outrage over ignorance.

I consider all Hindus ought to use this as a chance to speak, meet with different Hindus (particularly youth) and EXPLAIN why movies equivalent to these are detrimental to Hinduism worldwide.
