Yes, Indian constitution discriminates against Hindus, hence it is anti-Hindu constitution.

Everyone who is little aware about constitutional provisions of religious freedom, knows that Indian Constitution discriminates against Hindus. But due to political correctness, none of them has analyzed the religious provisions of Indian constitution in order to do justice with this question.

Here are few facts which prove Indian constitution is a anti-Hindu constitution.

Articles of 28 to 30 — Fundamental rights of religion are exclusive to non-Hindus… even where they’re in majority in particular state.

30(1) of Constitution, “All minorities, whether based on religion or language, shall have the right to establish and administer educational institutions of their choice.”

Article 30 (1A) restricts the State’s right to acquire property of a minority educational institution whereas Article 30(2) prevents State discrimination against a minority educational institution.

During deliberations of the Constituent Assembly, it was presumed that majority community i.e. the Hindus were automatically entitled to the rights stipulated for minorities in Articles 29 and 30.

But in actual practice, these rights have been denied to Hindus by the successive governments. There is no similar provision in the constitution of any other country in the world where majority has been denied such a basic right.

And because of articles 28–30 of Indian constitution,

1. Hindus cannot open and run their education institute as freely like other minorities. They cannot teach their religious subjects like the Bhagavad Gita, Ramayan and other scriptures and epics whereas other minorities like Muslims and Christians can teach their religious subjects.

2. Hindus cannot run and control their religious organizations like temples. The government controls the management of Hindu Religious Organizations, Temples etc. while same condition is not applied to other minorities.

3. Government imposes tax on Hindus Temples but gives financial aid to Minority Religious Organizations like Mosques, Churches etc. Government gives aid to Madrasa but same thing is not applied to Sanskrit Vedic Schools and Hindus Religious Institutions.

4. Temples will pay revenue on their income, but no Mosques or Churches need to pay tax on their income.

5. Article 21A of the Constitution, in accordance with the provisions of the RTE Act​, Hindu run schools are forced to take admissions but same doesn’t apply on Muslims, Christians and other minorities run schools.

But even we accept this discrimination against religious ‘majority’ than why Hindus are not given rights available to religious minorities in 8 states where they are minority?

Because, Indian constitution is not discriminating against religious majority, it is discriminatory and biased against Hindus specifically.
