Swami Yo Dharma expresses concern over rising Muslim population in Bharat; Change in demography will threaten Hinduism

Swami Yo Dharma has recently voiced concerns about the socio-political and religious dynamics in India, highlighting a perceived threat from the growing Muslim population.

According to Swami Yo Dharma, several Western nations such as Britain, France, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, and Norway serve as examples where Muslim immigrants have significantly altered the demographic and cultural landscapes. He argues that these trends could similarly transform India into an Islamic country if proactive measures are not taken.

The swami asserts that there is no necessity for Muslims to integrate with Hinduism. Instead, he suggests a strategic plan by Muslims to increase their population to a point where they can influence national policies and cultural practices. This, he fears, could undermine India’s Hindu-majority identity. He further claims that Muslim-majority countries do not reciprocate by welcoming non-Muslim refugees, thereby creating an imbalance where democratic nations bear the brunt of the refugee influx.

Moreover, Swami Yo Dharma has expressed concerns over economic activities that potentially undermine Hindu practices and businesses. He points out that Muslim industrialists are engaging in the sale of Ayurveda medicine, a traditional Hindu practice, and suggests that these efforts are intended to monopolise the market and weaken prominent Hindu figures like Baba Ramdev, who is a significant proponent of Ayurveda.

Additionally, the swami highlights a trend in Gujarat where Muslims are allegedly establishing hotels with misleading names on highways, leading Hindus to consume food without realising its origins. He warns that this could have cultural and religious implications, as dietary laws are stringent in Hinduism, and such practices could lead to inadvertent violations of these principles.

Swami Yo Dharma’s statements underscore a broader narrative of religious and cultural protectionism, reflecting anxieties about demographic changes and cultural dilution. His comments resonate with a segment of the population that fears the erosion of traditional Hindu values and the potential for socio-political upheaval.

Swami Yo Dharma’s perspective brings to light the tensions between maintaining cultural identity and accommodating demographic shifts.
