Hindutva is built on LIES

Savarkar: Indian ‘nation’ began when Rama defeated Ravana & returned to Ayodhya —> a lie

1992: Babri Masjid is ‘birthplace of Rama’ —> a lie

2023: Urigowda-Nanjegowda are ‘killers’ of Tipu—> a lie

Hindutva can be defeated by TRUTH—> truth is EQUALITY

Chetan was arrested from his house on March 21 by the Seshadripuram police and produced before the court which had remanded him to 14 days in judicial custody. The same day, his lawyer had moved a bail application which was listed for hearing on March 23.

Chetan had posed an alleged objectionable post on Uri Gowda and Nanje Gowda, Hindutva and Babri Masjid, calling them lies. “Hindutva can be defeated by TRUTH — > truth is EQUALITY”, he wrote on Twitter and Facebook.
