The idea that women are innately gentle is a fantasy, and a historically recent one.

I think when you see so many Hindu temples of the 10th century or earlier disfigured, defaced, you realise that something terrible happened.

People's identities as Indians, as Asians, or as members of the human race, seemed to give way - quite suddenly - to sectarian identification with Hindu, Muslim, or Sikh communities. — Amartya Sen
When I approached God at that time, I hardly had a living faith in Him. The agnostic was in me, the atheist was in me, the sceptic was in me and I was not absolutely sure that there was a God at all. I did not feel His presence. Yet something drew me to the truth of the Vedas, the truth of the Gita, the truth of the Hindu religion. — Sri Aurobindo
I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants.
