Donald Trump extended Diwali greetings to the Hindu community


On Thursday, former U.S. President Donald Trump extended Diwali greetings to the Hindu community and made a series of pledges aimed at safeguarding the interests of Hindu Americans. In a message posted on his official Truth Social account, Trump condemned the recent violence against Hindus and other minorities in Bangladesh and criticized the current U.S. leadership for what he perceived as neglect of Hindu issues.


Condemning Violence in Bangladesh

Trump strongly condemned the "barbaric violence" against Hindus, Christians, and other minorities in Bangladesh, which has been marred by student-led protests and subsequent violence that led to the fall of the government and the departure of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. He stated that such violence would "never have happened" on his watch, implying a stronger stance on protecting minority groups

Pledges to Hindu Americans

Trump vowed to protect Hindu Americans from what he described as the "anti-religion agenda of the radical left." He emphasized his commitment to strengthening ties with India and its Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, whom he referred to as a "good friend." This pledge is part of his broader campaign strategy to appeal to Hindu-American voters ahead of the November 5 presidential elections



Criticism of Biden and Harris

In his message, Trump also criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing them of ignoring the safety and rights of Hindus across the world and in America. He portrayed their administration as a "disaster" on various fronts, including foreign policy and economic management, contrasting his own record of cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and boosting American energy production

Diwali Greetings

Alongside his political pledges, Trump extended warm Diwali greetings, wishing everyone peace and joy during the festival of lights. He hoped that the festival would symbolize the victory of good over evil, a theme that resonates deeply with the Hindu community

Trump's message has garnered support from some Indian-American voters and groups like the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), highlighting the strategic importance of the Hindu-American vote in the upcoming elections. Conversely, Vice President Kamala Harris also shared her own Diwali message, focusing on the festival's themes of peace, joy, and the triumph of good over evil
