PM Modi at Gurudwara Rekindles Debate Over Faith and Politics
Images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi visiting a gurudwara, bowing his head and accepting prasad, have once again sparked discussion on social media. Alongside these visuals, an old tweet by nationalist Sikh user Gurdeep Singh has resurfaced and is being widely shared.
In his tweet, Singh had written that “he does not wear a turban and visit gurudwaras just to secure the Sikh community’s 2% vote share, but because he genuinely considers Sikhs his own. Otherwise, people should remember that by not wearing a cap, he has already rejected up to 20% of potential votes.”
The statement has reignited debate on whether such gestures reflect genuine belief or calculated symbolism. Supporters see it as an expression of respect and personal conviction, while critics view it through the lens of political messaging.
Regardless of perspective, the episode highlights how faith, identity, and politics continue to intersect—and provoke conversation—in India’s public life.
