Abstract: “Why I Am A Hindu” explores Hinduism’s spiritual, cultural, and political dimensions, particularly in modern India. The *Author’s Note* introduces the personal journey of embracing Hinduism in the contemporary world. *Section I: My Hinduism* delves into the author’s personal practice and the philosophical roots of the faith. *Section II: Political Hinduism* critiques how Hinduism has been manipulated in Indian politics. *Section III: Taking Back Hinduism* advocates for reclaiming Hinduism’s original teachings of peace and tolerance from political misuse. This work calls for a renewed, inclusive understanding of Hinduism in India’s evolving socio-political landscape.
