Good to be able to hash out leftist strains to counter reactionary hindu nationalists, etc.

EDIT: Also requesting c/jainism and c/sikhism (in addition to c/buddhism and c/hinduism requested in original OP).

EDIT 2: WTF these replies and the number of upvotes (except for some that seemed to be legit good faith)... No wonder POC don't feel welcome on this site. Mods? @Beatnik @ScreamoBMO @EcoSoco @Uncle_Hoe @Gorn

EDIT 3: To those asking "How would these comms be relevant?", asking this is kinda whack in the first place, because why would asking for a religious comm need justification to exist when there are other religious comms already existing? But just for those who do want "justification", here's a leftist podcast talking about Buddhism: https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/buddhism. As for Hinduism, it's pretty obvious with Modi and his nationalist goons that it's a relevant topic. Similarly, it is Sikhs who are risking their lives in the insurrection against the Indian government right now. Oh and one of the most important struggles against colonialism was heavily influenced by the non-violent philosophy of Jainism (i.e. Indian independence from the British). Like I said before, why I even have to justify this in the first place is mega whack, but there you go.

    I could say the same about leftist organizing. The point is to have them in place so that when new people do come in, there is an infrastructure set up.

    So then why don't we just eliminate any of the other religious comms? Funny, were you saying this when people were proposing c/judaism or c/islam? Might wanna interrogate why you're saying what you're saying.
