"Hindu Resurgence in India That Is Changing" I From Indira to Modi I Elections 2024 I Barkha Dutt 

I am a Dalit and proud to be Hindu

I am a Brazilian devotee of Mahadev and Maa Kaali. India must be a proud Hindu country and preserve its wonderful teachings! Har Har Mahadev! Jai Maa Kaali! ❤🙏

I belongs to Bodo tribe of Assam. Bodo is the largest tribal community in the north east region. We are Hindu and happy with Modiji.

We are millions of Hindus (Diaspora) living in Europe, the UK, the USA, Australia, South Africa, Canada... and we are proud of our roots and Sanatan heritage. We draw spirituality and strenght from Sanata Dharma to live and survive in this world.

I am a buddhist from north east. Me and my family feel always proud of our Sanatani heritage. &modi is the best thing has ever happened to this culture. ❤

I am from Andhra Pradesh. My vote for MP is to BJP. Who will join. Not only from AP, but other states.

As an American who lived in India for nearly 50 years ago, I say in reality **India got independence on 26 May 2014.** India’s history: 1000+ years of barbaric Islamic colonialism, 200+ years of exploitative British colonialism, 60+ years of continued repressive poverty under Nehru klan + Leftists + Mullahs colonialism with License Quota Sharia corruption Raj. During this period with 3-4 % growth rate, one by one East Asian countries (Taiwan S Korea Singapore China) beat India out producing, out manufacturing, out building. Thankfully, it changed in 2014 with true liberation from scam gress with the election of its first prime minister, Narendra Modi. And it shows in Bhariyas’ confidence, accomplishments and expectations. Bharat’s economic growth rate since then has been averaging 6-8%. Make Bharat Great Again!! Go Bharat Go!! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 Be impatient, build more roads, bridges, tracks, manufacture more trains, planes, phones, electronics, grow more, fly higher.. Bharat is unstoppable.

💫 I AM A CHRISTIAN AND SUPER PROUD OF MY COUNTRY AND MY ROOTS. JAI MAA BHARITYA. RAM RAJYA AB AA GAYA HAI. THANK YOU PM.

I am a jain and I am proud of my Hindu heritage.... Jai Shri Ram🙏... Jai bajranbali 🙏

Am from North East state manipur, I really feel so happy that modi is with a strong statement that takes up india to different levels which khangress cannot do in last 65 years..

Most people fail to understand Modi because they don't understand India!!!! This man has lived in more streets and corners of India with deep love and burning quest for the Indian culture and heritage!!!

I am proud to be an HINDU, and i belongs to Sanathan Dharam🚩🚩🚩🕉🕉🕉

Most Hindu's understand Modi ji very well and support him from the heart. A real patriot.

I could see it in Tamilnadu too, when i went to Chennai last year. I traveled to India after a gap of 7 years and i could see more young tamilians in the temple which was not there in my previous visits. Yes, Hindu resurgence is happening!!

I am proud to be a Bangali Hindu 🙏

I am proud Jain and also equally proud of belonging to the Hindu roots.

I could have never imagined an India where i would see the word Hindu becoming openly mainstream.. An India where Malls who used to decorate themselves on Christmas are now putting Lord Ram, Sita Ji and Ram Mandir statue inside.. An India where people like Sai Deepak would openly called themselves proud Hindus in Elite Universities

I am Indian. I am very very proud of my Sanatan dharma and it’s glory. I support Modi ji forever

Irrespective of what these two ladies discuss, the unanimous positive comments of readers shows the greatness of Our beloved PM who has really uplifted our Bharat in the international scene as the leading one in economics but also in uniting the whole world.

Am ex Liberal! Before 2014 I had no idea who is a Hindu and whats the civilisational history of Bharat. Our Indian education system specially in English easily makes a person atheist or deracinated Hindu. Not anymore! Bharat is rising and Sanatan Dharam with vast ancient knowledge is coming to forefront. Am now so proud n happy to be a Hindu! 🙏

I am from Karnataka . Hindi gujarathi everything is welcome . There is no south north divide . It’s a cheap dirty politics . End of the day, India is larger than any regionalism

He is the only one who said to hindus to unite while leaving caste behind. We hindus are tired of this bullsh🤡t of Caste. Our leader has arrived who are uniting Hindus to a better future.

I am 74 living in UK . All this time l never took interest in Indian politics until Modi became the PM. Now l listen to him because l know he became PM for no other reason then to transform India and make all Indians proud when they walk in the streets round the world with pride.

As a hindu my vote for bjp forever

I am from South, TN, Times have changed... Modiji is becoming popular and accepted as a statesman... It is late but perfectly the need of the hour.... Time will express this

Proud Hindu from Darjeeling ...and i love my country thts why i love Modijee.He has made us 👏

Proud to be Hindu....jai shree krishna 🇮🇳

15 yrs as Gujarat CM and 10 yrs as PM and still some can't understand Modi. Chasma utar kr dekhe madam itna difficult bhi nahi hai😂

Once upon a time, I was a die hard supporter of INC, being a Congressi by birth. But, in the last 25-30 years as things unfolded, I deeply repent to have been so. Now I love Congress as much as all Muslims love BJP. I respect Allah as much as the Muslims respect Shri Raam and Shri krishna- No half measures.

The Muslims who whole heartedly accepted Hindus as their brothern and take part in their festivals as their own, has great advantage. You can be proud of each and every success story of India. If you look through the lense of hatred, then you miss every thing. It becomes paraya.

I m proud to be Bhartiya and Hindu.... Har Har Mahadev.

I went to an ATM in Bangalore ten years ago.Was wearing a helmet(am a woman by the way)The guard asked me to remove my helmet.Safety concerns.Of course I did as told.Immediately after a lady comes in a burka.Face fully covered.Allowed to enter.No questions asked.I understood why the poor guy didn’t say a word.But can you imagine if the situation was REVERSED? Again,when I worked in a major IT company,some women used to come in hijabs. Would a South Indian be allowed to come in a Mundu or a Maharshtrian girl in their traditional saree drape? In some places, (Hindu)restaurants are forced to close during the Id fasting period.Why is this never discussed in the media?Or does only banning cow meat meet your narrative? When I was a young child,my parents used to watch NDTV.When “ Godhra “happened,it was all over the news.What happened was and is terrible,BUT it’s only years later that I learnt of the incident that PRECEDED it.I am sure that it was reported but It was such biased reporting and debating. I am all for ALL INCLUSIVE SECULARISM but not for appeasement politics. And to answer Barkha’s question,Nope Hinduism is no longer just a “North Indian” sentiment.But yes,”Hindism” is a hurdle in South India.

Sensible approach would be to let the minorities realise that they will be better off as " Equal Citizens" and not a Special or a pampered class or Vote bank. The earlier it happens the better it will be for the Nation .

In a Greenland ship I met one senior guy from Israel along with his family, friends. He asked me which is the best city in the world and I guessed all western cities which was wrong for him. He told me it s VARANASI (KASHI). He said he visited India many times and he loves Varanasi because of its unique spiritual atmosphere where one can see life in many facets at one spot, in one direction the colourful flowers market on streets, another side people praying in temple, another side people dipping in river and praying and another side dead burning. He said no where in world one can see such a multitude aspects of human life in one spot coexisting peacefully. He said he loves India and wants to travel southern India too. Needless to say I met many foreigners told me they loved visiting Kashi for the same spiritual vibe who also said India should preserve their ancient cultural heritage and I am yet to go although I travelled 7 continents from Arctic Greenland to Antarctica. I travelled all ancient temple towns in Tamil Nadu from north to south last time I was in India. There is lot more cultural heritage to explore. Udaynidhi Stalin, Tamil Nadu state minister, son TN CM, said he is a proud Christian. Owaisi head of AIMIM party said he is a proud Muslim. But why is if current generation started to feel proud to be Hindu not just on paper on applications but in real life? In a free democratic country with freedom of faith all have equal rights to feel proud of their religions and as a whole the cultural heritage of India much older than the day it got freedom from British. Please dont make Hindu pride as a right wing fascism. Hindus are most secualar thats why they know Aurangzeb demolished mosques in Hindu holiest cities Kashi and Mathura and built mosques and Hindus go calmly to a temple next to them which was built long ago. Many such temples were destroyed to build mosques to show might of the then Islamic ruler, like Qutb ud din Aibak who wrote that 26-27 Hindu and Jain temples were destroyed and built there Quwwat ul Islam (Might of Islam). Hindus openly partake offerings from other religions even on Christmas an Eid as I did since as a kid with Muslim neighbours. My Muslim neighbours also took our food, ofcourse abiding our dietary preferences. Most people in India are peacefully following their faith and going on in life for basics like food, house, kids, etc. Its just that due to social media there is more awareness of Kashi and people got better finances nowadays so the young quickly book a trip and visit places including from south to north such as Varanasi. Irrespective of Modi, this would happen.

I am Bengali settled in outside India but came back to my homeland and made my voter card to give my vote to Modi ji. I am proud to my Sanatan dharma 🙏🏻

How does Sculpting of Ram temple's idols harm Muslims? This is exactly the issue with this so called Secular Liberals. Do you expect Hindus to be deprived of their culture and dharma and stay as submissive to the devisive and anti Hindu forces?

Not Hindu but patriotic Indians resurgence.

Who said pappu is useless? No way. We are very much banking on him to accomplish our mission of BJP 400+ in 2024 elections. After NaMo and Shah, Pappu is the 3rd important Star of campaigning. Wherever he campaigns, the BJP candidate there can be rest assured of massive swing of votes from Cong and neutral voters towards BJP. This has been proved many times in the past and it will continue in 2024 as well.

Proud of my roots, my country and my PM Shri Narendra Damodar Das Modi ji.. NaMo Namah🚩👍🙏

❤i am a proud hindu. There must be hindurashtra to save the world 🌎.

I can also feel the change that India is undergoing.. Modi is not just a leader. He is an epitome of power that changed the mindset of diversed India ❤️💯.. And we are living in that era of India which will influence a lot in future

I am a proud Indian, n a proud Hindu 🎉 JAI SHREE RAM JAI SHREE KRISHNA JAIHIND VANDEMATRAM ❤

I am a Proud Sanatani and yes I will make sure my religion shines like it always did creating positive examples under leadership of shining leaders like Modi,Yogi, Rathod,Devendra,Mohit,Biswa Sharma,Annamalai,Tejaswi,Nupur Sharma, Shehzaad,Amit Shah, Irani,Seetharaman, and so many

Modiji is the face of India, he has made us feel proud of being Indians , today terrorists are afraid of India, Hats off to Modiji and BJP

I don't understand politics that much. But whatever history I have read I can say one thing, Modiji's mind works like Samrats of ancient India. He thinks very long term and nation building. His vision is crystal clear.

I m a hindu, i m a dalit n i m proud to be Indian under Modi ji s leadership 😊 Modi is ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hindu religion is the best in the world because It will never asks do this or do that It will never ask wear this or wear that It will never check which temple you visit or which God you pray Hindu religion is personalized and democratic. Proud to be Hindu.

I m proud to be a hindu ,,,

Lets face it. Modi is an intelligent, hard working, sincere and goal oriented leader whose sole purpose seems to the betterment of India and its people.

As India progresses, all communities and religions will prosper and get financially stable. Thats the success of India 🙏

Barkha Dutt - What a shame to compare an immatured Rahul Gandhi’s temple visit with that of Temple visits of Indira Gandhi who is a well-rounded tower personality

I am proud of my Hindu religion.

Modi Tried to reach out to muslim and they didn't responded, They showed hate for modi. Modi even tried to reach out toPakistan and based of response he received acted afterward. So anyone who is dreaming that modi will do it again is dreaming.

We are proud to have the prime minister like Narendra Bhai Midi.

Indira Gandhi used to regularly meet Kashmiri Shaivaite Guru Laksman Jhoola to learn about Kashmiri Shaivism.

Bjp ko Lane me leftist eslamist or so called secularo ne bhi bahut mehnat ki h.

Credit goes to the great PM Modi who inspired the nation by being exemplary! People started following him because he inspired young and old! Proud of him! May God bless him to complete his mission! Bharka is burning within!

Hinduism will prevail for a long time, it is ingrained in the culture of mass in Bharat.... Hinduism was always there but was suppressed for centuries....

I am a sanatani from Canberra, Australia. I believe, Narendra Modi is a great leader that India have ever produced!

Look at how happy Barkha looks talking about the fame of Indira or Congress, but there is some sadness when it comes to modis fame.

Listening to them i remembered a saying people don't really change they just die. Both the aunties has the same views same beliefs which is stuck in pre and post 2002 riots. They r d prime example of ideological subverted individuals who still struggling to come upto the terms of this New India🙏🏻

Its not that they don't understand Modi. These people still can't believe that Modi has worked hard & successfully demolished all their carefully constructed facade & lies.

MODIJI the God's Gift to our beloved nation and permanent Prime minister

Hindutva was a reaction to communalism practice by Muslims league, Fully supported by Congress in pre-partition days.. Remember since 1947 Indian Secularism has been only minoritarianism (Minority Appeasement).. I'm saying this as someone who was a left -liberal Dhruv Rathee Fanclub but now a proud Hindutva'ite RW

One thing in this entire conversation is good and true is " More rights to Minorities than majority was need of the hour at initial stage of independent India, which doesn't hold any relevance now and majority will not accept". This is absolutely correct.

Barkha Dutt herself has blood of our soldiers on her hands. She provided Intel to our enemies about our soldiers indirectly! No shame! No guilt!

Modiji is trying his best to make strong India. People should understand and give him full support. Congress now doing bad politics can call negative politics not at all good for country.

She suppressed the fact of Sonia's prime ministership issue that all went wrong due to the letter from Abdul Kalam pointing the citizenship factor.

MODI IS NOT LEAST UNDERSTOOD PM, HE'S THE MOST UNDERSTOOD PM❤❤❤

I live overseas, and Modi Ji has transformed the perception of India in the West in a positive way.

He is not just OBC leader, he is leader of our nation all caste creed and all animals he is the leader...I feel like when my grandchildren read about Modi in textbook i would be eagerly telling them story like he Leader when we were young and i have seen him and go on telling about him

Yes, I too feel that special feeling about being an Indian like I never had before.

So far the best leader of the nation is Modi as a common man a became PM.. he understands India the best . We should talk to get him back as PM and not talk why others are not winning.

It is bad to divide Hindus based on caste.

The Prime Minister has finally laid the foundation for a solid National Identity..... to Make India Great Again ! 🇱🇰

2:46 thaks for mentioning #Aspirational India, about Modiji... No one understands why Modi is considers as bigger than life because he gives #Hope to all from richest to poorest of poor.. 🙏🙏

Congress was a centrist party back in the day but after 90s they just slided off to left.Hindus voted for congress everytime but when cong started appeasement they denied them. Which ultimately benefitted BJP and RSS at that time. And they're gonna be ruling India atleast till 15-20 years.

Modi Ji is the best PM of India history. India now have the 5 largest economy in the world ahead of UK. World respect india now.

WHY DID THIS OLD LADY NOT SPEAK ABOUT DR. SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY, IN STOPPING SONIA/ANTONIO IN BECOMING PM OF INDIA BY LAW ??? IN MY OPINION, THIS DEBATE IS INCOMPLETE. LET US WAIT FOR THE PART 2

the fight of muslims is not for equal rights which they are already enjoying but their fight against system is to not letting them bullieng over other communities . Actually the problem of Lutyens is they just don’t want to explore the ground realities .

it is amazing how people talk about democracy yet adamant in denying the rights, aspirations, opportunities for the majority. What kind of democracy is it if it's only about 2nd & 3rd largest majority only ? Is it just a sense of entitlement or blatant hate against Hindus ?

I'm a Muslim but i like Modi ji. Jai Sri Ram 🚩🚩

I am very surprised that no one ever mentions that Modi is the first PM of India born after independence. It is fundamental to his personality. Rajeev Gandhi was only 3 years old when India got its independence but Rajeev was surrounded by people of colonial mindset and hence became a part of that mindset.

Appreciate the insights. Rahul Gandhi cannot be prime minister of our country. The person who criticises the country n people outside the country always. None of the citizen of our country does that. Learn from Israel, when it’s comes to nation opposition, ruling party n people stand out united and get on to ground and wrk to counter the external forces which harms the country. opposition is not doing this we as common people know and we stand with govt when it’s comes to country, culture, n sanatha dharma.Jai Hind!

Barkha is disturbed as I.N.D.I.A is not uniting.

Hindu resurgence is a term has a sound of incompletness in it when you don't speak of it in relative terms. On the lines of the Benaras Ganga aarti , I have have an anecdote of mine . Having lived in Kolkata for years I have always frequented the Newmarket area - during all times of the year. It is where people go to eat and shop. And there is always a sea of people who's religious background will never be on display. We go back as a family for a holiday in 2021, and during the month of July again visit new market. The place was filled with women in burkhas and men in skull caps. I was taken aback not because I have islamphobia, but because the fact that people suddenly had to now dispaly their religion on their sleeves. Of course we have always known that there is a mosque in the vicinity, never so on our face in a state that has pushed itself as most tolerant. So my point is - there is a religious revival in all corners. One feels and very rightly so , that the Hindus are even more only because of the Hindus being a majority. Should one be apologetic about it ? I still am not clear about it because I think with such pride comes a sense of nonchalance. However lessons of tolerance and comparisons cannot be learnt by constantly asking to discount some behavior on the Minority card. Religion should be a very private affair. It shouldn't be out on the streets to display. However , when you use words like - Hindu Resurgence - without considering the resurgence in other religions practiced in India there will be a sense of unfairness brewing in the background.

Now Barkha has to listen to the praises about MODI JI. What a dilemma 😂😂😂

We don't need Harvard educated leaders to lead the nation. We need compassionate yet shrewd nationalistic leaders who understand geopolitics/geoeconomics and the pulse of the citizens. Modiji has an excellent team of leaders to work with him.

Even hard core opponents are started admiring Modi, then imagine modis effect on common voter's, modi deserves it. Opposition has no answer, they should wait and let modis era end by itself. That's best they can do. 😊

This is India...A Hindu dominated country with all other religions treated with great respect..Our temples and shrines were mutilated by invadors which We are rectifying...who has problem?

Those were the days when media people like these folks had full access to privileged government conversations..

The real and existential challenge is for Hindus to deal with increasing demographic dominance of Musalman and their unwavering jeal for Gazwa-E-Hind and making India Dar-ul-islam. Despite so called BJP rule in center, Hindus continue to suffer institutional discrimination in all socio-economic policies and legal forums

And those who criticize Indian nationalist who are the world's most fullish journalist Jai Hind 🇮🇳

Hindutva’s wants Hindu nationalism by keeping BJP while desires secularism in foreign countries like Bangladesh where they prefer Hasina over Khaleda Zia 😅

Rahul baba was only opponent leader who contested his election from Indian small Pakistan constituency of Wayanad where no Indian national flag hoisted and done the Bharat joro yatra. So unnatural political scoring idea

I feel very rich, being a Hindu. I am broad minded in real sense, I am having my own healing ways, I can choose God as per my wish for worship, I am taught to forgive those, who are ignorant about the importance and uniqueness of my religion. I am a proud Hindu

Barkha madam, as a hindu i felt the same sense of abandonment from 1990, from exodus of pandits to 2014. Silently watched appeasement and hijacking of elections by a united minority vote bank. Now the majority is getting its voice and place in history back. Bharath is our mother land and we don't have a place to except this county. Don't worry madam, hindus are the most tolerant and accommodative faith. Every faith on earth can live and coexist here peacefully. Only requirement is every faith must shed their aggressive past and adopt the Hindu way of peaceful coexistence

Its very clear that Narendra Modi ji is a great citizen of India, PM, a commited Hindu who believes to progress India by hook or crook. He is best for Indian defence also.

The last question Barkha asked about Muslims, both the ladies agreed that Muslims would be unhappy to have a BJP govt. Would a Hindu be unhappy about a certain government in U.S. / U.K. / Germany? Then why Muslims in India would consider it a right to show a contempt towards the majority sentiment? Why should it be mandatory to undermine the pre-Islamic culture of India - in order to have happy Muslims?
