Why it matters
The statement highlights the intersection of religious discourse and political rhetoric in contemporary Indian governance.
There are conspiracies by vested interests to weaken Hinduism and undermine the strength of India, Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi said in Dharwad on Sunday.
“Some people are trying to destroy Hindu society as a whole. They include some within the country and others abroad. They are working jointly to weaken our faith, religion and the nation,” he said.
“In such circumstances, it is necessary to bring people closer to dharma. For the commoners, following the path shown by the seers is itself dharma. Our practices and beliefs may differ and there may be differences of opinion amongst those following different streams of thought. But there is a need to protect society,” he said.
“Hinduism is a great religion and we should all be proud of it. We must set aside our internal differences and stand united,” he said.
