In a video taken from the passenger seat of a car after Narendra Modi’s address to the joint session of Congress in June, Vivek Ramaswamy was full of praise for the Indian prime minister.
“Modi talked unapologetically about Indian national identity,” he said in the video, which was posted on X, the platform previously known as Twitter. “He quoted the Vedas, ancient Indian scriptures. Yet here in the United States we have now gotten in the habit of apologizing for our own national history. … That’s what I think we need to learn here from Modi’s visit, is that we in this country are at our best when we too do not apologize for who we are.”
These seem like standard talking points on their face. But there were two somewhat remarkable things about the comments. First, Ramaswamy referenced something so distinctly Indian—the Vedas (Hindu religious texts)—when addressing a Republican base that’s overwhelmingly white and Christian. Second, and more strangely, he seemed to praise Modi’s Hindu nationalism—and call for an American equivalent.
An American equivalent can mean only one thing. Hindus represent about 1 percent of the U.S. population; Ramaswamy certainly isn’t advocating for Hindu nationalism in America. Instead, he appears to advocate for a similarly shaped religious nationalism in the U.S. based on the country’s majority faith: Christianity.
Indeed, Ramaswamy has all but explicitly supported Christian nationalism on the campaign trail. “Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values, there’s no doubt about it,” the candidate told NBC News in July. And in an interview with NewsNation this month, he declared, “I believe I live by those values more so than many self-proclaimed Christian politicians.”

PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, thank you very much, Klaus. And a very special congratulations on your 50th year hosting the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum. A truly amazing achievement.
Who are you voting for?
They left out White and forgot to use the term late stage capitalism.
Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Abrahamic religions
The Abrahamic religions are a group of religions centered around the worship of the God of Abraham. Abraham, a Hebrew patriarch,[1][2] is extensively mentioned throughout the Abrahamic religious scriptures of the Quran, and the Hebrew and Christian Bibles.[2][3]

“What’s he know about American….”
He went to a Jesuit high school, St. Xavier in Cincinnati. He knows a lot. Enough that he was their Valedictorian in 2003, and his speech which is online (google it) is very enlightening.
That’s the conference where Trump handed them their posteriors on a silver platter. You’re obviously not trying to evoke false context here . . . right?
Vivek Ramaswamy’s Embrace of Hindu Nationalism
https://progressive.org/latest/vivek-ramaswamys-embrace-hindu-nationalism-ahmed-230821/
VIVEK’S core beliefs need close scrutiny.
Just how would a Jesuit high school give anyone knowledge about how to be American?
Hindu is pagan - they have many gods. It has also created a horrible culture where some people are classed as “untouchable” and where humans starve while cows walk around the street.
I don’t know how you reconcile American culture with somebody looking at a dancing elephant and calling it “god.”
Casteism abolished in 1948
He’s a Brahmanist first and foremost.
That explains the arranged marriages.
That explains ‘the end’ (Brahmanist wealth and power) justifies the means.
There’s a reason why the Raj chose the Brahmans to help them control India. The reason is that Brahmanism is a form of Statism.
It was the Brahmans who invented the caste system, and that is what they are bringing to all Western countries.
The caste system actually holds: We were born Brahmans because we were perfect in our past life. You are NOT a Brahman because you were not perfect in your past life. If you obey by our rules and live a perfect life ‘this time,’ MAYBE in the next life you will be born into the Brahman (Ruling) caste.
People, do not be fooled by any of these Brahmanists.
Kamala Harris was chose as VP not because she is half black, but because she is half Indian, and her family is of the Tamil Brahmans, the most ruthless and violent of all the Brahmans. Selecting her as VP was throwing a bone to all the Brahmanists in this country to continue to supporting the DemComs (just as they supported the Raj).
Breaks my heart to see so many Freepers being fooled by this WEF, Soros-funded BRAHMANIST.
He is. Soros funded his education, because Vivek Brahmanswamy cried poor, even though he was worth $1.3 million at the time.
Wake up.
You are being fooled by another Pence, another Romney, another McConnel. This one just happens to be a Brahmanist, so his goal is play by the rules to empower his racist tribe.
Judeo-Christian does not mean Jewish/Christian.
It means Christianity that balances Old Testament and New Testament.
“Jewish-ness” has nothing to do with it.
The Pope is a Jesuit.
The Jesuits are communists.
Communists and Socialists and Brahmanists are a perfect match for one another.
Who cares that someone guided him on his speech to make sure it would look good moving forward? He has been trained on how to say the right thing, just like McCain was and Romney and Gabbard and all the other backstabbers.
Thank you for that post.
Seeing so many Freepers here being fooled again by another Trojan Horse is nauseating.
Cisco (in California) was recently sued by some H1-B workers because their ‘superior caste’ managers told them their lower caste would prevent them from ever being managers and ever receiving a certain pay level.
If you think the caste system was ever abolished and that the Brahmans are not a race-based tribalist group seeking to expand their wealth and power into Western countries for their own tribal power, you are sadly delusional.
It’s like saying communism was abolished.
So this brings up another issue , because some Freepers say that the scholarship was from Paul Soros , not George Soros.
So then we’re back to disagreement about what the facts are, and deciding which Freepers do we believe.
Heretic.
