Dinesh Kamath's Editorial 'Which religion does Rahul Gandhi belong to?' that was published in Newsband


Which religion does Rahul Gandhi belong to?
Congress president Rahul Gandhi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not understand the foundation of Hinduism. He said at an interactive session in Udaipur in Rajasthan.
Hitting back, BJP president Amit Shah said, “The Congress is now preaching us about Hinduism. They are giving us lessons of Gita.” External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj also reacted sharply saying she wishes the day won’t come when people have to learn the meaning of Hinduism from Gandhi. She said the Congress president himself and the party are confused about his religion and caste.
Everything Rahul Gandhi utters is ‘pseudo’ and proves his level of opportunism - manifestation of unlimited desperation. Obviously, Rahul Gandhi would love to reinvent himself as the perfect Hindu for the imperatives of the 2019 poll. By his recent uncojent utterances Rahul has become the concrete proof for how election makes a power-mongering politician lose his balance.
Hindhuism, or for thst matter any religion or caste are merely man made.They have no sanctity. Even God is man made. No reality. One need to prove the existance of God rationally, logically and scientifically by experiments, before arguing. When there is no God there can not be any religion and people spending their money, time and energies on God are wasting their resourses. Even if the God existed, who created the universe, he cannot be multiple. But men believe in and worship hundreds of Gods. Atleast, the governments should not waste a single rupee of public money for religious works. That should be made a law.
Conversion to Hinduism from other religions belongs to a different group: Brahmo Samajwadi, Arya Samajwadi. Buddhists and Jains were originally Hindus, so also Sikhs. Hinduism is a big ocean many saints have tried to understand.
To assume Rahul Gandhi is a Hindu is totally fictitious. One branch of his ancestors hailed from Italy and are staunch Roman Catholic-Christians and another scion is also a mixture of Parsee and Hindu. How an Indian gets his religion? If it is by birth, then Rahul Gandhi should be a Parsi, because his grand father, Feroze Gandhi was a Parsi and Rajiv Gandhi was a Parsi too. If Rahul Gandhi has converted to Hinduism, and that too as a Brahmin, when did he convert? He cannot fool the people by saying that he hails from a Kaul family and so a Hindu Brahmin. Which religion Rahul Gandhi belongs to? He should check his history and then talk about Hindus. Rahul Gandhi should first prove that he is Hindu before talking about Hinduism and accusing someone of not being a Hindu. His sister is a Christian and married to a Christian. His mother is a Christian obedient to the Pope.
Politicians try to politicise religion and create hatred for political gain. If Modi is a Hindu, or he does not know Hinduism is totally irrelevant. One should look at what he contributes for the welfare and progress is crucial. In that regard Modi stands the tallest Indian as of today. To criticise an individual is unethical — face the election and show what you are.
Rahul Gandhi just want to be in news as such he reels out lies after lies and the "secular" press is eager to lap it up without even quentioning. If it were BJP government/ persons making this statement, a lot of questions would have been asked. That is our freedom of press.
The person and his party who have tried to keep Hindu away for the sake of some other religion and their votes and now for the last one year or so, realising the mistakes are visiting temples, making prayers wearing screed thread and now going to the extent of telling Gotr are preaching about Hinduism that too to born Hindus is nothing but a cruel joke.
To get Hindu votes he visits temples and goes on Yatras. During the Congress rule of the last of 65 years Hindu majority states have become non Hindu majority states. The Congress poll strategy has always been to use caste, religion, language as an election tool.
If Congress now preaches about Hinduism, BJP is also now preaching about Nationalism, Today it is a nation with all sorts religious people,all sorts of nationalities working on various projects.The world has become one nation after globalization.
Now the main question all the Congress netas need to ask and think: what is Rahul Gandhi's IQ level, and why these smart local netas are still treating him like a prophet. Rahul Gandhi does not know anything about Hinduism. He should stick to the issues he does know.

Where is the "secular" press when Congress is clearly using "Hindu" and "religion" to get as much mileage for political success? Some have even started calling this smart politics. Do they think it is ok for Congress to use religion for political gains but not for BJP? Congress is indeed in a desperate situation, Comparatively, the BJP is in a far better position. BJP has shown some seriousness in Governance, unlike earlier Governments which were more interested in preserving and increasing their ancestral properties.
