Can Hindu Gods help Trump?
By Sreekanth A. Nair
Though Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump is being criticized globally for his inflammatory comments, he seemingly has got some fans in India.
According to an Associated Press report, a group of right wing Hindus under the banner of The Nationalist Hindu Sena gathered in New Delhi and offered prayers to their gods for the victory of Trump in the US presidential elections, this November.
While Trump is being mocked and criticized all over the world, the right-wing Hindu group has found a savior in him. According to them, only Trump can save the world from Islamic extremism.
“The whole world is screaming against Islamic terrorism, and even India is not safe from it. Only Donald Trump can save humanity,” Vishnu Gupta, founder of the Hindu Sena nationalist group told AP.
They chanted Sanskrit mantras and made offerings to the gods for Trump’s victory. The photos of many Hindu gods were displayed at the function. They also adorned the photo of Trump with a sindoor (vermilion) mark on the forehead.
Trump has made several comments about India in his rallies; some of them being against the country and its trade imbalance with the US. He had recently mocked Indian call center workers while addressing a rally.

Coward inferior Hindus always look for someone else for protection from imaginary threats, For a starter do the Hindu sena leader know Donald Trump hate blacks ? Do this Hindu sena leader know Donald trump eats their Cow and Pig(vishnu) gods on daily basis? Most of the terror attacked in India are committed by Hindu terrorists associated with RSS (Google Saffron terror) and blame Muslims by taking advantage of what of happening in other countries.
