A separate debate has erupted in foreign countries regarding the followers of Hindu religion. Amidst all this, the recent conversation between Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and an American citizen is being discussed. In which Ramaswami raised questions on the opposing comments regarding Hindu religion. Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican candidate contesting the Senate elections in America’s Georgia State, is in the news. Recently, in the debate between Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and an American citizen, when Hinduism was termed as “evil and idolatrous religion”, Vivek Ramaswamy reacted strongly and said, why is Hindutva the target every time?
In fact, such an incident highlights the different cultures in America towards religious intolerance, especially when compared to India. Despite continued aggressive remarks against Hinduism from the opposition, Ramaswami instead of escalating the conversation or demanding legal action, peacefully defended his religion and used the occasion as a message to the world that Underlines the deep tolerance inherent in Hindu philosophy
Some fundamentalist groups across the United States have long targeted non-Abrahamic religions, particularly Hinduism, labeling them as “pagan” or contrary to American values. Yet Hinduism, whether in India or abroad, never shows the same outrage as is seen at attacks on Islam or Christianity. Meanwhile, after a statement by Ramaswami in America, the debate on the issue of targeting Hindus has intensified. However, a detailed report by Richard Fawcett about Ramaswamy was recently published on The New York Times, a prestigious American news website, in which a big claim was made about Ramaswamy.
After all, why are Hindus the target every time?
A voter in New Hampshire asked about Ramaswamy’s religion, in response to which he asked about the importance of religious freedom in America. These questions were asked to Ramaswamy during the Democratic Party’s election campaign in Nevada on Saturday last week. During this, when asked about his opinion about Jesus Christ, he said that in Hindu religion, Jesus is a son of God.
He said that Hindu religion talks about taking everyone along, but still Hindus continue to be targeted in many countries of the world. In fact, over the Labor Day weekend, a voter in New Hampshire asked about Ramaswamy’s religion, to which Ramaswamy replied, when asked about the importance of religious freedom in America: “I am a Hindu and I am proud of it. I am a Hindu without any apology.” I stand for this. I think I will be able to go even further as a defender of religious freedom.”
