K Annamalai on his Hindu philosophy: ‘I am a Hindu...I lock up my caste, religion inside my house’

In a public statement regarding his religious views, K Annamalai defined his interpretation of being a Hindu as a practice rooted in equality. He stated that he chooses to keep his personal caste and religious identity within his own home when interacting with the public sphere.

Annamalai emphasized that a true adherent of Hindu philosophy does not view others through a hierarchy of high or low status. Instead, he argued that the faith should lead an individual to embrace everyone with a sense of parity.

These comments follow his recent departure from his leadership role within the Tamil Nadu BJP last month. His remarks highlight a vision of spiritual practice focused on inclusivity and the separation of personal belief from external social stratification. Source: News reports.
