Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh – Kunwar Raghuraj Pratap Singh, an MLA from Kunda and the chief of Jansatta Dal (Loktantrik), has stated that Hindus should observe and learn from Islam regarding unity. Mr. Singh, widely known as Raja Bhaiya, made these remarks while responding to queries about an ideology that could unite Hindus.
“In this regard, we should learn from Islam,” Mr. Singh told PTI Video. He elaborated by pointing out that while Muslims may belong to various political parties, including the Congress, Samajwadi Party, and even Left parties, their primary allegiance remains with Islam. “For them, Islam remains the priority,” he added.
The legislator emphasized that Hindus should not be solely defined by their political affiliations. He urged them to prioritize their identity as Hindus when matters concerning ‘Hindutva’ arise. “Political parties will come and go. Our ideology and our faith—towards the Divine, Dharma, and toward the Sanatan tradition—must be firm, intense, and openly expressed,” Mr. Singh asserted.
When questioned about divisions within parties concerning ‘Hindutva,’ with some advocating for ‘soft Hindutva’ and others for ‘hardcore Hindutva,’ Mr. Singh invoked a spiritual perspective. He stated that divine observation encompasses both external actions and internal thoughts, implying that no deeds are hidden from a higher power.
Mr. Singh suggested that, with few exceptions, most political parties do not actively promote unity among Hindus. He made these statements on Saturday, November 14, 2026.
Earlier, in May 2026, Raja Bhaiya had sparked controversy with remarks made during a religious event in Prayagraj. At that time, he claimed that many Muslims were originally Hindus who converted due to weakness, greed, or fear. He also stated that those who remained steadfast in their faith and made sacrifices were the ancestors of present-day Hindus. During that same period, he had also urged for Hindu unity, appealing for people to set aside caste differences and identify as Hindu brothers.
He had also linked the secular identity and Constitution of India to the country’s Hindu majority, suggesting that the Constitution could be under threat if the Hindu majority weakened. He asserted that India’s secularism is a direct result of its Hindu majority and that the nation’s diversity is protected by Sanatan culture.
These earlier statements drew criticism, with a Muslim cleric rejecting the notion that conversions to Islam were driven by fear or pressure, asserting that people embraced Islam willingly due to its values and the efforts of Sufi saints. The cleric also affirmed that Indian Muslims are indigenous to the country.
