What is this political wave of Hindu religious dudes taking over Anglo-speaking nation's politics? Like your favorite dude, Rishi Sunak man. You got Vivek and then Rishi. They might become a dynamic duo in the future eh?
It is getting weird. Things are getting bad. Culture wars. Hypocrisy and some performances there on display.
Ramaswamy and Sunak.
It is time to go for a Hindu-inspired old-fashioned British hit from the past.
In addition there is also the more prominent candidate , second to Trump himself of course , Nikki Haley . But it's just that she converted from Sikhism to United Methodism , the religion of her husband . Before her there was Bobby Jindal , who converted to Roman Catholicism , from Hinduism . I personally feel that there is not all that much of a leap from Hinduism to Catholicism , as it would be from Hinduism to evangelical Protestantism , given the statues that Catholics have , low church Protestants are more iconoclastic , and do not believe in regarding saints as intermediaries . But with that being said , in an ironic twist , just as their are so called Messianic Jews , who consider Jesus to be the divine Son of God , there are Hare Krishna devotees who regard Krishna to be an incarnation of Jesus , and therefore just as much an avatar ( divine incarnation ) . And in addition to these politicians of Indian descent , we have had Tulsi Gabbard , who has been an adherent of a Hare Krishna offshoot , called the Science of Identity Foundation . Hinduism has thereby come to have an impact upon our culture , and even Hindutva upon our politics .

https://www.workersliberty.org/story/2022-12-20/strange-tale-tulsi-gabbard I do find it odd though that supposed self proclaimed Christian nationalists might at times make common cause with their counterparts in other religions and nations . But I suppose that politics does make for strange bed fellows sometimes . And more to the point of this thread , and so as not to go too off topic , some Hindus have even taken to support , and even to quite literally worship Trump .
