Kanwar Yatra. The great pilgrimage of devotion to Lord Shiva.
This year, a record 4.8 crore kanwariyas took part.
Yet a video surfaces: boys aged 12 to 15, holding sacred flags (in some places even the Shri Ram flag), standing right in front of the camera and making vulgar, highly inappropriate gestures.
Sacred symbol + religious procession = zero respect. Zero dignity.
There is public outrage.
But the moral guardians? The politicians? Those who use religion as a shield?
Silence. Deafening, shameful silence.
Or the soft excuse: “They are just kids… it was a joke.”
Because speaking against these children could damage their vote bank and religious narrative.
So learn to ignore the vulgarity—protect the narrative at all costs.
Now look at the other side.
A 15-year-old minor, Ruchika Singh, during the CJP protest, used abusive language against the Prime Minister in a moment of anger.
On camera, the PM says:
“I have forgiven them. They are naughty children. We will guide them on the right path.”
The reality?
Supporters from his own party and the IT cell continue to issue rape threats, death threats, doxxing, and even intimidation by arriving at her home.
The family is forced to change houses three times. The FIR is not easily withdrawn.
Forgiveness in front of the camera.
Destruction of a life behind the camera.
Same age group. Same “minors.”
The only difference is whose narrative was hit.
- If you support their narrative — learn to swallow the vulgarity as well.
- If you stand against them — one mistake can destroy an entire life.
Hand children flags, throw them into mob energy without any understanding, and they learn only excitement and gestures. Not respect. Not values.
When religion is turned into a political weapon, its sanctity is the first casualty.
“Sanskar” and “maryada” are no longer principles.
They have become mere convenient political tools — used when useful, hidden when they cause damage.
A girl’s political mistake turns her entire family’s life into hell.
The indecent behaviour of children under the cover of religion is met with complete silence.
This is not justice.
This is the naked dance of convenient polarisation.
The question now is:
Where have those loud champions of “discipline” and “sanskar” disappeared at this moment?
Or will this too be buried according to vote-bank calculations?
Think. And let it sting.
