A note about safety

Leaving Hindu traditions can carry very different risks depending on your context. Caste background, family structure, geographic location, and community ties all shape what departure looks like and what it costs. In some contexts, leaving may involve honor-based concerns, pressure from extended family networks, or loss of caste-based community support. In diaspora settings, it may mean navigating cultural identity without religious framework. You know your situation best -- please consider your specific circumstances and review safety planning resources if they are relevant to you.
