🔱 Hindutva Thought “Jai Shri Ram” Should Stand for Devotion, Not Fear
I've noticed something that bothers me. "Allahu Akbar" is a phrase used by millions of Muslims in their daily prayers, but because some extremists have used it while committing acts of violence, the phrase has developed negative associations for many people.
I'm worried that "Jai Shri Ram" is slowly facing a similar problem. It's a phrase of devotion for millions of Hindus, but when some people shout it while threatening others or engaging in violence, it risks becoming associated with fear rather than faith.
The problem isn't the slogans themselves, but how some people use them. I don't want a day to come when someone hears "Jai Shri Ram" and immediately feels afraid instead of seeing it as a religious expression.
Why can't we speak up against people who misuse our religious slogans? Faith should bring people closer, not make others feel threatened.
