He details the present-day government failings, but then he gives amazing solutions from Vedic thought that are relevant even in the modern age, which will not only take India forward but also the rest of the world. He also emphasised the oneness with nature that Hinduism has always inspired but is lacking in present-day India, thinking it's being modern in a Western materialistic framework. He calls for the Arjun mindset of taking action for Dharma, knowing Krishna is fully behind him.

Right Wing Christian US Congressman Chris Smith Wants Rubio To Stop Indias FCRA Bill, Raises Modi, BJP? Why Hindu Superpower

Fearing the rise of Mola Ram from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, US Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ), who is a devout Christian and frequently cites his Catholic faith as the driving force behind his political career, wants Rubio To Stop India's FCRA Bill, because of India's rise as a Hindu cultural civilisation under the BJP's rule. Proving the US political spectrum, again from left to right, is full of Hinduphobic Nazis. Remember, due to pressure from Christian missionaries, the Republicans' lead, by President Bush decades ago, had banned PM Modi and his oversized RSS colonial baggy shorts, but the ban was lifted under President Obama, which led attacks on him by the likes of right wing christians like Glenn Beck after President Obama mentioned his Sri Hanuman locket he has carried for good luck. He had also thanked some Sathya Sai Baba followers after he won his second term, for a small picture of the Guru they had given him for good luck to win. So naturally, this peeved off the Salem Witch Trials committee, who fear the rise of the largest surviving 'satanic' pagan heathens in the world, known as the Hindus, which is what US Congressman Chris Smith is really having nightmares about.
