MUMBAI: Asserting that there is no such thing as a menace to Hinduism in India or wherever else, Indian American supermodel and writer Padma Lakshmi on Wednesday mentioned individuals of all faiths ought to be capable to stay peacefully in “this ancient, vast land”.
The 51-year-old, who posted a sequence of tweets, mentioned there’s “widespread anti-Muslim” rhetoric within the nation and hoped Hindus do not succumb to “this fear-mongering” and “propaganda”.
Fellow Hindus, do not succumb to this fear-mongering. There is not any menace to Hinduism in India or wherever else. True spirituality does not embody any room for sowing hatred of any type.
People of all faiths ought to be capable to stay peacefully collectively on this historic, huge land.

Tagging information articles from worldwide publications like The Guardian and Los Angeles Times on Delhi’s Jahangirpuri conflict between two communities throughout a Hanuman Jayanti procession and the violence in Khargone metropolis of Madhya Pradesh throughout Ram Navami celebrations earlier this month, Lakshmi mentioned “true spirituality” has no place for hatred.
“Sickening to see the violence against Muslims celebrated in India. The widespread anti-Muslim rhetoric preys on fear and poisons people. This propaganda is dangerous and nefarious because when you consider someone less than it’s much easier to participate in their oppression,” she wrote.
The New York-based “Top Chef” star mentioned all faiths ought to stay collectively peacefully. “Fellow Hindus, don’t succumb to this fear-mongering. There is no threat to Hinduism in India or anywhere else. True spirituality doesn’t include any room for sowing hatred of any kind. People of all faiths should be able to live peacefully together in this ancient, vast land,” she tweeted.
The Jahangirpuri violence, which erupted on April 16, left eight police personnel and a neighborhood resident injured. Almost every week later, a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ was taken out by Hindu and Muslim residents of the realm to present a message of peace and concord.
