The are praying for his victory — even if he can't get their accents right
At a campaign rally in Delaware three weeks ago, presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump chose to attack American outsourcing by affecting a cruel caricature of an Indian accent, to the delight of his supporters. Yet his apparent disdain for the people of the world’s second most populous nation doesn’t seem to faze a right-wing Indian group that is now praying — yes, literally praying — for Trump’s victory.
A new video released by Reuters captures members of Hindu Sena, a Hindu nationalist political organization, holding a spiritual ritual in the streets of New Delhi, asking Hindu gods to carry the New York City real estate mogul to victory this November. To that end, they lit ritual fires and anointed Trump’s forehead (on a poster alongside statues of Hindu deities) with a tilaka, a Hindu spiritual marking.
“Going by the statements of Donald Trump, we believe he will be the lone protector of mankind,” Vishnu Gupta, Hindu Sena’s president, told Reuters.
It’s not difficult to figure out why right-wing Indians are supporting the Republican candidate from half a world away. Trump’s incendiary comments on Islamist extremists and Muslim immigrants echo the sentiments of India’s Hindu nationalist movement, the more radical factions of which have been linked to linked to lethal violence against the country’s Muslim minority.

Fixed the biased falsehood.
Oh GREAT, there’s a swastika on the lamp. Just what we need.
(No need to explain the historic meaning of the symbol, I’m familiar with its history. Doesn’t mean dishonest people wouldn’t milk this photo for what it’s worth, though)
Indian prayers for a Donald Trump victory Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 00:38 A right-wing Indian group prays for the victory of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying he is the only savior of humanity.
Liberals are stupid.
Oh no! They put a dot on his head too!
Yup.
This is a pretty cool story though, should have mentioned that.
If it wasn’t for the whole displaced-tech workers thing I’d say let ‘em on in. I am too much of a sucker for Indian food.
They have attacked Indian Cathodic churches in Maharatstra State, responsible for over 900 deaths in the 1992-1993 Mumbai Riots, etc etc
Go ahead. Throw your lot in with these Brownshirt Indian goons, Trumpistas. Better yet, do your homework for a change.
Google “Shiv Sena”. Hint: Don’t go there.
Yeah? You gotta be a jihadist yourself to be say that. Most Indians know Kasmir, you know?
FReeper eyewitnesses that were there say it didn't happen - no accent. Where's the video, Time Magazine?

Yes, remember what the terrorists did at that hotel in Mumbai.
Like the Muslims, they have a food problem: http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/vedic-indians-were-beef-eaters-says-adi-godrej-bjp-ally-agrees-asks-for-modis-stand-on-ban/1/666366.html
You’re so educated!!! We fall on our knees before you!
Actually, there are plenty of decent Hindus around - I live in the largest community of Hindus in the United States. None of them are brownshirt Indian goons, thank you very much. Do you recognize any brownshirts in the photo? If so, please identify him for us. We’re agog to know.
The history of India is awash in violence created by muslims, hindus, the thousand other sects that find a home there as well as cruelties of the Raj.
Go, Trump, go!
Those were islamists, not Hindus.
Has Trump done anything to curry the American Hindu vote?
The Koranimals harass and kill wherever they reside. They have made a hell hole of the Middle East, but that is where they should reside. Spreading them throughout the world only ensures oppression, death and destruction.
European Christian organizations could go a long way in stepping up to protect European women from the rape and harassment of the left and the Islamic attack dogs.
