As a Social Justice warrior, Sandeep Dedage has been advocating for inclusive representation of the rich tapestry of Hinduism, with its profound teachings and diverse cultural heritage shaped by the contributions of various communities and social backgrounds. The APNADB volunteer sounded a warning bell in 2016 about academia’s attempts to erase Indian civilization, using misplaced characterizations of caste in textbooks. Eight years hence, the weaponization of colonial caste tropes has not stopped. Its manifestation is tangible in academia enhanced further with mandatory Liberated Ethnic Studies [LES] , undermining the cultural and spiritual identity of the Hindu community. Shri Dedage examines the suppression of historical narratives, and the urgent need to protect and preserve the contributions made by all communities within Hinduism.
