In this episode of NEWS that MATTERS, we delve into the controversial statements made by Kumar Vishwas and his endorsement of regressive ideologies, including those rooted in Manusmriti. Recently, during a poetry event in Meerut, Kumar Vishwas made a controversial remark about interfaith marriages, indirectly criticizing Sonakshi Sinha's marriage to Zaheer Iqbal. His comments not only reveal his anti-women stance but also expose his communal bias. Kumar Vishwas seems to suggest that women do not have the right to marry according to their own choice, particularly if it goes against traditional norms. The episode highlights how Vishwas, once a part of the Aam Aadmi Party and an advocate for change, has shifted towards endorsing the ideologies of Hindutva, including support for Manusmriti, an ancient Hindu text that has been criticized for its caste-based and patriarchal principles. The video discusses how his statements reflect a broader trend of misogyny and communalism in current political discourse, and questions whether Kumar Vishwas is now simply playing to the gallery for applause or actively promoting these regressive ideas. The video also reflects on India’s Constitution, which guarantees freedom and equality for all citizens, and compares it to Manusmriti’s oppressive views. The discussion connects Kumar Vishwas’s remarks with broader societal issues, such as caste, gender equality, and religious intolerance. The episode asks whether Kumar Vishwas is merely seeking attention with his controversial statements or if he is genuinely a part of a larger ideological ecosystem promoting Manusmriti and Hindutva. Join us as we explore Kumar Vishwas’s changing political stance and the impact of his views on Indian society.
