Chitra Tripathi, with zero sense that Yogi Adityanath was also a religious-figure-turned-politician, asks Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati why he comments on politics! The Swami gives it back in kind: "When politicians use religion, you don't say anything. But when I talk some politics (related to temple and Hinduism), you ask...

#WATCH | Chapra, Bihar: On BJP MP Ravi Kishan's statement, singer-actor and RJD leader Khesari Lal Yadav says, "I have never been against religion, and I am not against religion even today. But those who ask for votes in the name of religion, those who instigate people in the name of religion, I am against them. Now they feel that I am against their thinking, so I am against religion also... I said that the temple is important, but college, education, the hospital, and people's livelihood are also important. How much employment will you give people by just making a temple?... And don't say anything about Ravi... He said, in front of Yogi Adityanath, only that if you burn in Gorakhpur, you will go straight to heaven... He can say anything... And Yogi Adityanath was laughing at this statement..."

#WATCH | Kolkata: At 'The Debate 2026' hosted by the Calcutta Club, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi says, "... Which culture gives you the authority to debate even on religious texts. It is only Hindu... I would like to ask why the term Hinduism? Why is 'ism' associated with all the religions which originated in India? Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. You have never heard of Islamism and Christianism... The 'ism' world is being associated just to demean, and what Hindutva is, 'Hindu tattva'. The basic immunity of Hinduism is Hindu tattva... Another thing I would like to say, when you cherish Hinduism, it is called Hindutva..."

#WATCH | On Ram Temple, Chairman of Indian Overseas Congress, Sam Pitroda says, "I'm worried about it because too much importance is given to religion. I see that democracy is being undermined. When the Prime Minister of a country for 10 years does not give a press conference. That bothers me. When the Prime Minister has no problem, giving name to a national stadium in his own name. While he's alive, that bothers me. So there are signals I'm getting. Which says we are in the wrong direction. When a nation is involved in Ram Temple. That bothers me. To me, religion is a personal thing. Don't confuse it with the national agenda. The national agenda should focus on education, employment, growth, economy, inflation, health, environment, and pollution. This is not how you build a modern nation...I don't care what religion you practice. I have to respect you for who you are. And not what religion you follow. I'm not gonna dictate what you eat, or what you pray for, That's your personal freedom. And when the entire nation is hung up on Ram Temple and Ram Janmabhoomi. It really upsets me and bothers me...Religion is something very personal. Don't nationalize it. Don't use it for political gains. A Prime Minister is spending time in temples all the time. It bothers me. I would rather have him go to schools, libraries and scientific institutions and not visit lots of temples..."

Have you ever seen any Christian or Islamic cleric praise a political figure to the skies, claiming that their religion can only be protected by that one leader? Yet this abominable practice has become an epidemic among many #Sanghified Hindu gurus and dharmacharyas. Selfish and utterly unmindful of Hindu religious interests, they repeatedly compromise the dharma just to flatter and ego-massage #PseudoHindutva RSS-BJP leaders, especially Narendra Modi, who is as an anti-Hindu wolf in cow clothing. गोमुख वृक । The greatest danger to Hindutva (Sanatana Dharma) today does not come from Christianity or Islam, but from this very subordination of Hindu religion and its core interests👇by compromised gurus and dharmacharyas to the narrow political agenda of RSS-BJP-Modi.

Why This Christian Evangelist Believes Islam is the Antichrist "I think Islam is the Antichrist. I say that confidently and boldly, and I'm not going to shy down from it. I love Muslims as people, but Islam as a religion is a religion of war, a religion of division, a religion of 'if you don't do what I say, you'll be punished for it.' And I don't agree with it."

Rohit Vemula Bill brought in by Congress govt Karnataka. Host directly asks to BJP representative, “will you be opposing this bill?” BJP representative says, “We will not be opposing this bill”. Then he goes on sermonising that when we have so many laws to deal with discrimination, why Congress needs another law. Valid point. But….. My take: When you leave your own “akhada” and go to the den of others, you don’t set the rules. Instead of countering caste-politics, BJP thought of co-opting it and now it finds itself confused between what it does and what it says.

We live in a strange country where even an out and out communal politician like Asaduddin Owaisi accepts that the #PahalgamTerrorAttack was a hate crime where Islamic terrorists first asked for the religion of the tourists and kiIIed only Hindus! But ‘secular’ Hindu politicians like Sharad Pawar and Mallikarjun Kharge say that there is no evidence of religious profiling even when victims’ family members who were eye witnesses say it again and again! It truly disgusts me.

Share this video with your friends who say that Tamil Nadu is **Periyar's soil**. The Tamil Nadu has given five major key positions—the **Chief Minister, Advisor, Finance Minister, Commissioner, and Speaker**—to Christians. However, they gave the **Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE)** ministry to a person who follows the Hindu religion. He is truly someone with an interest in the Hindu faith. But now, because of so much noise, attacks, and trolls, the TVK leadership has reportedly asked him to say, *'I am not a follower of the Hindu religion; I am neutral.'* So, even he has come out and said, *'I am not a staunch Hindu devotee, I am a neutral person. I am not favorable to Hindus or any other religion.'* Who is saying this? The **Minister of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments department** is saying he isn't biased toward Hindus. But, the **Christian Speaker** can recite Bible verses even inside the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. No one raises any noise, trolls, or opposing views against him. A Muslim Minister can ask a maulana to come and recite Quran verses while he is taking oath as Minister!!! So, inside Tamil Nadu, Bible verses can be spoken, quran can be read - but a Hindu Religious Endowment Minister should not be a supporter or follower of the Hindu religion. This **dominant mindset** exists among those who call themselves a minority here—the Christians. This is an undeniable fact. Can any of you deny this truth? Just tell me that. Second, this isn't Periyar’s soil; this is **Yesappa’s (Jesus') soil**—and no one can deny that either." Also, where is minorities insecure They are ruling the 70% majority (as on paper) population!! Why do even need a minorities ministry - we only need majority ministry !

The green man stated that he wants to hear from Putin that Russia will not attack Ukraine. — If you could talk to Putin, what would you say to him? — Two key questions. Territories and the reasons for the war — why he started it, why he occupied these territories. I think it would be useful to talk — not because I want or don't want to talk to him. He is an enemy to me. We need to understand: we don't want war with Russia. I don't trust him and won't trust him, and he doesn't trust me either — that's clear. That's the problem. My feeling is that his goal was to occupy all our territory, our entire country. And I really want to hear and see that he won't come again. - SK

Reporter: "Why couldn't the BJP create a space for itself in the hearts of the minorities?" Yogi Adityanath: "Because we don't play with the sentiments of Hindus. The Hindu is the foundational soul of India; he cannot be insulted. Those who believe that we will insult the sentiments of Hindus and seek votebank politics are mistaken. We brush aside such politics."

This constitution does not begin with the name of Bharat Mata. The constitution states, under Article 25, that you will have religious freedom. The preamble of this constitution speaks of liberty, equality, justice, and fraternity... If you connect religious worship with love for the nation, then what answer will you give to Bahadur Shah Zafar, who sacrificed his life and whose remains are in Rangoon?... What answer will you give to Yusuf Meherally? Who told Gandhi to use the words 'Quit India,' and who gave the slogan 'Go Back, Simon'? If you connect one thing with religion and say that religion is love for the nation, it is not acceptable to us..." (08.02) (Source: AIMIM)

Tucker Carlson is absolutely clueless on the BIG picture, George, so I wouldn't get too excited about him saying that if Britain was a 'democracy' you would be prime minister. The 'transition' you talk about is from one expression of the political/religious illusion to another. 'Things are changing very, very profoundly'? No - they are moving from illusion to illusion. Things will change when we realise that politics and religion are inventions to divide us and limit our sense of reality. Until we do – nothing will fundamentally, let alone 'profoundly', change and certainly not through Tucker Carlson.

I think the presenter is on to something big, but where I disagree with her is that she accuses African leaders and gives a subtle pass to African citizens. It is not true that African citizens were oblivious to what Trump or Epstein are. They knew, but they simply did not have the ability to think critically that when Trump talks about LGBT issues, it is not necessarily that he does not support them, but that he understood there is a group of foolish people out there who would buy into that rhetoric without interrogating why he was deploying it. Some of Trump’s best friends, like Peter Mandelson, are gay, yet some Africans were foolish enough to believe that Trump is anti-gay. He simply understood how human beings operate, that there are times when people fail to think, a tragic failure to think, and they just go with the flow. If you ask Africans today what they gained from the perceived homophobia that Trump projected, which we know was political theatre targeted at a particular audience, they will not be able to tell you. Trump might be many things to many people. I do not like him and everybody knows that, but the one thing I respect him for is that he understands his audience. He knows what to say when he is talking to foolish people. He knows what to say when he is talking to idiotic people. He knows what to say when he is talking to sycophants. He knows what to say when he is talking to people who do not understand the world of politics, and he gets away with it. And for that, I give it to him. He becomes a political superstar precisely because you then have black people in Africa supporting him. That in itself shows you the scale of political illiteracy that exists, where people rally behind rhetoric crafted to manipulate them, not to advance their interests.
