“Brahmin Genocide”: the book that has created a lot of stir among readers, is coming out as a second edition. Does the title aim to provoke sensation? What does “Brahmin Genocide” mean and why is it specific to one community? The speaker provides straightforward answers to these questions. Hinduphobia is concentrated in one community, specifically as “Brahmophobia.” This bias has persisted into independent India, influenced by colonial-era narratives and misinterpretations of ancient texts such as the Purusha Sukta. The impact of Critical Race Theory and social media on perpetuating hate speech has the potential to bring forth another situation like genocide. The need for awareness of these issues is of the essence, isn’t it?
