Pavan Korada | 08 September 2025 | The Wire
Speakers at a pro-government event in New Delhi on Saturday (September 7) attacked secularism, past governments and global democratic norms while lauding the Manusmriti, denouncing India’s syncretic culture as a “fraud,” and accusing “one family” of the “systematic murder of democracy” for 60 years.
At the ‘Namo Bharat’ dialogue on ‘India’s Democratic Renaissance’, panellists argued for the supremacy of an indigenous “Sanatani” [eternal] culture over Western culture, alleged decades of historical falsification in school textbooks and dismissed international democracy rankings as “motivated perversity.”
