Sudhanshu Trivedi: Nehru's 'Pseudo-Secularism' Made India a 'Partially Muslim Country'

BJP National Spokesperson Dr. Sudhanshu Trivedi contrasts the ideologies of Jawaharlal Nehru and Narendra Modi, arguing that a significant shift is underway in India's understanding of secularism. Trivedi claims, 'Nehru was controlling the colonial legacy and he has made India a partially Muslim country by constitution in the garb of pseudo-secularism. Now Prime Minister Narendra Modi is turning it into a true secular country.' He criticises Nehru's stance on the Somnath temple restoration and defends government expenditure on rebuilding the Charar-e-Sharif shrine. Trivedi dismisses fears of India becoming a 'Hindu Pakistan,' asserting that Hindu dharma is inclusive and does not have concepts like 'jizya' or forced conversion. He highlights PM Modi's confidence in displaying India's cultural heritage globally, citing the construction of temples abroad and the significance of the Nataraj statue at CERN's laboratory as proof of a rising national consciousness.
