Vivek Ranjan showed a different perspective
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri wrote in his long social media post, ‘For thousands of years, different religions and cultures, especially monotheistic religions, have encountered the rich and diverse traditions of Hinduism. Despite many threats including invasions, conversions, social disintegration, genocide and even the bloody partition of the nation, the liberal, diverse, pluralistic and inclusive nature of Hinduism has survived, intact. Hinduism has always valued philosophical inquiry and free thinking. Attempts to turn it into a more rigid, ritualistic system have not succeeded, because its traditions of plurality, openness and universal acceptance are deeply ingrained. Even after independence, politicians have attempted to change the soul of Hinduism from philosophical inquiry to ritualistic rigidity for their selfish goals of attaining power. They have attempted to change it from abstract universalism to local symbolism. They have attempted to convert the free-thinking mind of Hinduism into a rule-based subservient mind for the sake of getting votes.’
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri spoke on Hinduism
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri further writes, ‘I believe Hinduism thrives in conditions where there is no attempt to change its inclusive DNA or impose uniform political ideologies. When individuals have the freedom to make personal choices about their food, dress, language, practices and lifestyle. When art, literature, research, inquiry, creativity and free speech are supported and promoted as investments by the state and society. Hindus value free thought and creativity. It is important to respect and maintain this freedom. Finally, if political leaders want true success, they must respect the autonomy of Hinduism. Hindus are capable of guiding their own spiritual journey. 2024 is a message that politics should stay away from exploiting Hinduism for its vested interests. This is a victory you can never win. It is beyond anyone’s strength.’

Vivek gave advice
Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri did not stop here, he gave advice to the leaders who use Hindutva and said, ‘The politics of the last few decades, which has reached the 2024 elections, is another example where an attempt has been made to impose uniformity on Hinduism, whether it is through one God, one temple, one book or one set of customs or lifestyle guidelines, the election results prove that such monotheism is resisted by peaceful means. The rejection of religious politics shows the strength and adaptability of Hindu values. Hinduism has emerged from a deep search for truth, which has adopted the idea that truth is manifested in innumerable ways. This is why Hinduism respects many gods and goddesses and religions, each of which represents different aspects of truth.
