Rabindranath Tagore once wrote to a friend: \\u201cWhatever we understand and enjoy in human products instantly becomes ours, wherever they might have their origin\\u2026 Let me feel with unalloyed gladness that all the great glories of [humanity] are mine.\\u201d This openness is a fitting aspiration for the pluralism that has often characterized Hinduism, the Sanatana Dharma (\\u201ceternal law/way\\u201d), over its long history. But, like all cultural and religious traditions, Hinduism has also struggled with religious nationalism and violence. Today, that violence again threatens the wellbeing of India and Hindus around the world. So against \\u201call forms of bigotry and oppression,\\u201d from caste to Hindu supremacy, many Hindus are organizing to build a society free from hate, and free to feel that unalloyed gladness and peace.
