15:11Now PlayingIn a country with a millennia-old history of nonreligious movements, most atheists and rationalists in India find it safer to remain silent about their skepticism, despite the nation's deep-rooted tradition of questioning and skepticism. Avinash Patil, a religious skeptic and leader of an anti-superstition group, comments on the shrinking space for debating religious authority and belief, attributing this to rising religious tensions and growing Hindu nationalism. While there is a global rise in the number of nonbelievers, or "nones," India's nonreligious, despite their historical significance, face challenges and risks in being vocal about their beliefs, especially amidst the recent surge of Hindu nationalism. Patil says, “When you are open about it and engage in activism, it can get challenging, and even dangerous.” This sentiment captures the atmosphere as many "nones" still seek justice for the murder of rationalist, Narendra Dabholkar, a decade ago.
