Baba Bageshwar Dhirendra Shastri's Big Announcement: Why Objection to Making India a Hindu Rashtra?

Baba Bageshwar Dhirendra Shastri has once again stirred political debate in Bihar with his latest statement during the Hanumant Katha in Gopalganj. He declared that he will undertake a Padayatra across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to unite Hindus for the cause of making India a Hindu Rashtra. Questioning the objections to this idea, he asserted that Hindus must come together to establish their religious identity in the country. His statement has sparked strong political reactions, with supporters hailing it as a step toward cultural resurgence, while critics argue it may deepen religious divisions. The Padayatra announcement is expected to further escalate discussions on nationalism and religious identity, particularly in Bihar’s volatile political climate. As preparations for the yatra begin, its impact on the socio-political landscape of UP and Bihar will be keenly observed.
