Across India or Bharat, there is one big word making the trend i.e. ‘Sanatana Dharma’.
Though this word is no new to the Indian society, its been so long listening to this being discussed and debated ‘as is’ in the public domain.
Interchangeably used as Hindu Dharma for centuries, Sanatana Dharma is in fact far beyond all religions and advocates the universal feeling in the name of ‘Vaisudaika Kutumbam’- The whole earth is a family!
All of sudden across India since some months back, everyone is talking about Sanathan Dharma. That is being discussed, debated and getting ready to be acted upon at the policy level!
Yes, Sanatana Dharma is trending now across the nation today. And, with no hesitation, its the popular star-turned political leader Pawan Kalyan the trendsetter!
Once a popular star and further the only politician with 100% strikers in politics, the Janasena Party Chief and Andhra Pradesh Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan emerged into an ‘Unapologetic Sanatani’ within no time!
It all started with the laddu adulteration at Tirumala Venkateshwara Swamy Temple.
Responding on this matter, Pawan Kalyan has literally set the political stage on fire with a powerful speech in his style pointing at the injustice and disrespect happening to Hindu Temples and Gods, rituals, etc.

But no one ever thought that Pawan Kalyan’s powerful speech will ignite the further discussion on Sanatana Dharma. In fact it did, making the point a big debate across the nation.
Pawan Kalyan literally called out for the establishment of Sanathan Dharma Parirakshana Board at the policy level.

That didn’t stop there! The Central Government’s decision to repeal WAQF Board came at the same time, adding fuel to the fire set by Pawan Kalyan’s advocacy for Sanathan Dharma.
Now it’s no more an on-stage debate, the point of Sanathan Dharma has started deciding the political landscape of the country.
That became very much evident in the recent Maharashtra state elections!
Sanatana Dharma Political Impact In Maha Election & Further:
Pawan Kalyan campaigned for NDA in this election and again brought 100% strike rate offering a big win to NDA and its leaders who contested in this election.
Though its a different state and inspite of the presence of Telugu community there, what worked out there was Pawan Kalyan’s image as the ardent supporter of Sanathan Dharma.
Organizations like RSS have continuously been working for uniting Hindu community and have driven thousands of Hindu groups gatherings in view of Maha 2024 elections.
But, it is strongly believed and admitted by many Sangh men and NDA leaders that it’s Pawan’s strong voice for Sanathan Dharma that created the magic in this election, adding due boost to the entire Hindu community across the country.
With this, Pawan’s image as Sanathan Dharmic has gone viral and made him much closer and respectful for NDA top brass from PM Narendra Modi to everyone else.
That was evident in the immediate trips and meetings that Pawan Kalyan had with crucial Central Ministers and PM Modi.
On an End Note,
In a political view, Pawan Kalyan’s Sanathan Dharma stand in one way may also help NDA to bring about a strategic shift in their voice from ‘Hindutva to Sanathan Dharma’.
In this backdrop, NDA is now eying to continue using Pawan’s powerful presence in the upcoming elections of other states like Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Bihar, among others and further across the nation in the coming One Nation-One Election in the years to come.
That means, Pawan Kalyan’s every presence reflects the debate and discussion around Sanathan Dharma at the gross root level across the country.
Addressing media in New Delhi, Pawan Kalyan also reacted on the attacks on Hindu community in Bangladesh. He said that India and Indians need to to talk on this and for that matter, on every instance that ats against Sanathan Dharma.
Let’s see what unfolds further!
