This is Modi's election. And in that, this election is a battle for Indians to wrestle back their identities that have been assaulted and demonized. In order to facilitate colonial structures that perpetuate slavery. This Indian election is an exercise in freedom.

Amrita TV started a program called Sreshta Bharatham. It is a is a reality show based on the epic ‘Ramayana’. One of the contestants, Rahul K, a class IX student from Kannur, left everyone shocked by his knowledge of Ramayana. It’s a quiz show.
Recently, a snippet video of one of the episodes went viral on social media, in which Rahul is being appreciated by Kavalam Sreekumar, Dr N Gopalakrishnan and Rahul Easwar, the judges of the show. In the video, Dr Gopalakrishnan mentions that he has become a huge fan of the kid. In another episode, activist Rahul Easwar also appreciated Rahul watching his arguments on the character ‘Shurpanakha’ from Ramayanam. (source)
The show is hosted by actress-turned -anchor Nithya Das.
The kid and the show have been very well received.

The express purpose of this show is to explore and promote Indian culture. And, this whole attitude towards what was done by the Indians in India and being antagonistic to it, while promoting half based Western ideas is truly masochistic. But that is what Hinduphobia is. And nothing has demonstrated this more than the reactions to this contestant of Sreshta Bharatham.
