So according to the author me and my community are not upset by poverty and hence are not doing anything to fix it. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/india-lifted-415-million-out-of-poverty-in-15-years-says-un/articleshow/94926338.cms https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/india-lifted... https://gdc.unicef.org/resource/report-india-lifted-271-million-people-out-poverty-decade https://gdc.unicef.org/resource/report-india-lifted-271-mill...

It seems to me that the author spoke about one particular Hindu they met who was not upset by their state of poverty. It’s not clear to me that they claimed that your community is not upset by it, and is not doing anything to fix it. Help me with clarity.

  If it has nothing do with her being hindu or beliefs generated from religion then why is that fact she is hindu relevant ?. It is like saying a short or bald person came to me and said poverty doesn't bother them. If I was short or bald then I am going to be offended by that.

> her I think you're extrapolating. Author is very clearly just talking about an individual, not a group. No need to get outraged.

  But he is, he characterized that person as a Hindu,he didn't say a friend or a neighbour or whatever else he could have described her by. The implication in labelling her hindu is that this a common or known position amongst Hindus?.

    I have no idea why he chose that signifier to refer to the individual he was talking about, that was also confusing to me, but it doesn't follow that he means "literally everyone who is also Hindu", and I didn't jump to that conclusion.

      I understood it as a common or at least well known view amongst hindus, which seems a reasonable interpretation of the statement made.

"So according to the author me and my community..." No, not you and your community. He said no such thing. Don't put words into other people's mouth.
