Political and cultural debates are still emerging in the country, but recently an incident has made headlines again. Sonam Wangchuk, known as a social worker and fan of Hinduism, made a great request to Premier Narendra Modi during his fast. Wangchuk claims that in some areas BJP is indirectly prohibited or opposed by BJP over Hindu songs and religious events. Sonam Wangchuk said in her statement that Hindu lofes are part of our cultural and religious identity. He said that recently hymns and Kirtan programs have been canceled in many places or put pressure on them, causing a wave of concern among the devoted. He called on the prime minister to intervene in the case and allow Hindu religious activities to continue without any impediment. According to Wangchuk, she is not only for opposition, but is also a cultural awareness effort. He believes that opposition to hymns and religious songs not only harms religious freedom, but also threatens our cultural heritage. He also called on the people to be peaceful of their religious rights in a peaceful way. This incident also created a stir in the political corridors. Opposition parties have questioned the BJP on this issue, saying that the government should ensure that followers of any religion or culture do not impede their religious acts. At the same time, there is currently no official response from the BJP. Experts believe that this matter is not limited to religious activities. It also highlights cultural identity, religious freedom and sensitive complications between politics. The issue of political intervention on religious and cultural opportunities in India has always been a center of controversies. Sonam Wangchuk’s fast and plea raised the question again how much the safety of religious freedom and cultural activities in the democratic system is certain. Both dedicated and social workers watch this incident very seriously and have become a topic of discussion across the country. After this development, it should be seen what response from the prime minister’s office or concerned officials comes and whether any restriction on Hindu songs and religious events is lifted. Right now, Sonam Wangchuk’s fasting continues and her message is clear – it is compulsory to protect religious freedom and cultural identity. Share this story -tags
