3/ CNN on Sunday aired the first episode of a new series called “Believer” hosted by Reza Aslan. For this episode, Aslan apparently sought..

4/ to find sensationalist and absurd ways to portray Hinduism. Aslan and CNN didn't just throw a harsh light on a sect of wandering ascetics

7/ “CANNIBALS,” perpetuated bizarre and ugly impressions of Hindus and their religion. CNN knows well that sensational, even false reporting

11/ to resolve the pain and outrage that the “Believer” episode on Hinduism has engendered in the community.

You have any idea how many Dalits,Adivasis, Muslims,Sikhs and Christians have been killed by Brahman Hindus?
