Okay I'm extremely sleep deprived, so why not start some Twitter drama on this fine Monday morning.
Hot take: Vinay Sitapati is a deracinated, colonized fella who shouldn't be writing about the topics he writes about.
I will elaborate.
This is based on all the videos of him promoting his books that I've watched.
That's the kind of language you would use if you were so far removed from India that Hinduism was just one big monolithic blob to you.
Way to generalize one-sixth of humanity.
It strikes me as the kind of shallow shit you'd say when you live in New Jersey in a very NRI neighborhood and try acting multicultural.
You can just say nationalism, you know.
Wonder if he goes to an Indian restaurant and eats Indian food in India.
How in all your research do you not meet up with members of the Muslim Rashtriya Manch, I don't know.
Oh the horror and the hypocrisy.
If you are in a cadre based organization, you'll argue, compete, cooperate and collude with people very different from you. That's basically a given. I don't know why that seems so weird to Mr Sitapati.
Mr. Sitapati has a very black and white view of relationships. I assume he doesn't have in-laws.
Heck, Prof Walter Andersen who wrote books on the RSS has a much better intuitive understanding of the Sangh.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.
