Oscar-Award-Level Histrionic Depiction of “Bhakti” by a Woke Leftist Youtuber Vis-à-vis  a “Shankaracharya”

I never thought I would find a youtube video by a rabid woke leftist, featuring a “Shankaracharya” propagating Islam and the Quran, so continuously hilarious. But this video, which suddenly popped onto my computer screen on youtube, was so hilarious that I found myself wanting all Hindus to see it and laugh their blues away. The core hilarious part of it is the continuous Oscar-award level acting by the youtuber (who tells us her name is Nidhi Sharma and that she is a “sanatani”) as she listens to the words of this “Shankaracharya” (I didn’t really get which maṭha he allegedly represented): her sweet soulful smiles, her raptly devout expressions and actions and her “spontaneous” hyper-emotional repeated teary-eyed namastes (to the “Shankaracharya”), her ecstatic salute (when she hears this “Shankraracharya” talk about “the truth of Islam, the greatest lessons of humanity in the entire world” and stuff of that sort, and the need to distribute copies of the Quran to all Indians) and her tragic expression of empathy (when she hears him say that people wrongly accuse Islam of being spread by the sword): in short, her generally saintly, sattvik, sadhvi-like beatific demeanor, expressions and gestures could easily win her an Oscar award if there had been a category of Oscar awards for such acting:

A visit to her channel, “Kelaya reacts” where she clearly announces that her channel is an anti-BJP or Congress channel, is full of Islamic videos! The above video itself shows this “sanatani” watching a video by a “Shankaracharya” extolling the superior virtues of the Quran and of Islam, where the revered sage is speaking from a dias alongside a panel of fundamentalist Islamic clerics (Zakir Naik being particularly prominent among them) in a huge hall filled with cheering Muslims, and her video (titled “Shankaracharya ji speaks about Islam ‖ Indian Reaction on Islam”: yes, believe it or not, this woke leftist thespian claims to be a representive of the views of Indians on Islam!), at this moment of writing, has precisely 618,000 views, 1237 comments (almost exclusively by Muslims declaring themselves “proud to be a Muslim”), and over 21,000 thumbs-up signs,  and her channel “Kelaya Reacts” has 3.26 million subscribers. So, when I ask my readers to laugh away their blues by watching this video, I am not really afraid of being accused of contributing to her viewership: she must obviously be minting money hand-over-fist from her woke leftist anti-Hindu videos.

Some of the apparently over 2300 videos uploaded by this mercenary “sanatani” have the following titles (which are enough to understand what she represents): “BJP Ka The End”, “Modi Ke Ude Hosh”, “Modi media Out: Godi Media”, “Modi Pakda Gaya: Dangon Ke Liye Funding”, “Modi Joker Hai”, “Modi To Gaya, The End” – I have given here the titles of the six latest out of her over 2300 videos: over 95% of her videos seem to feature either Modi or the BJP in the titles.

As I am far from being a fan of Modi or the BJP, obviously I have no fundamental objection to her anti-BJP and anti-Modi videos. And she is anyway clearly and openly a brazen Congress Party propagandist. But it is her rabidly Islamist and anti-Hindu videos which catch my attention. Some representative titles: “Islamic NATO? Middle East Lost?”, “UP Ke Muslim Bhai ne Jeete Dil, Hosh Udaye”, “Hindu Ladki par Hua Surah-ar-Rahman Ka Karishma”, “Allah Ek Hai”, “Asaduddin Owaisi Ne Parliament Mein Hema Malini Ki Band Baja Di”, “Asaduddin Owaisi Interview With Anjana Om Kashyap”, “Savage Reply to Andhbhakts After Accepting Islam: Indian reaction on Convert to Islam”, etc., etc. No, the last video above does not indicate that she (i.e. “Nidhi Sharma”) converted to Islam: it is about some other female; but, as the title again suggests, this “sanatani” presents her own Islamist and anti-Hindu views as representative of the general “Indian reaction on Convert to Islam”!

I wonder if the Muslim clerics sitting with the “Shankaracharya” on the dias, the Muslims cheering and clapping in the audience (in the video), and the Muslims liking the video and commenting positively on it, really have respect for this specimen “sanatani” youtuber or this specimen “Shankaracharya”. Do they believe these two will land up in Jannat, or do they believe that they, as befits kaffirs who do not dress, pray, follow the “pillars of Islam”, etc., like Muslims, will land in the everlasting fires of Jahannum? Well, who cares?

Seriously, this article was not meant to expose this “sanatani” or that “Shankaracharya” (I only wonder who this clown in “Shankaracharya” getup was: is he really in any way connected to some maṭha or institution related to the Ādi Śankarācārya, and does he really have devout Hindus as his bhaktas?): These are the open enemies of Hinduism working hard (and lucratively) for the Breaking India Forces. But open enemies are always preferred to the stab-in-the-back chhupe dushman. You know where you are with them and they cannot really fool you.

This really was meant only to show how even the most brazen people can have their funny side. Some films and books, and stories, have the double-power of being funny and making you laugh, as well as making you feel emotionally stirred. This video has the double-power of making you laugh, as well as making you think philosophically about the kinds of low human specimens that can exist on this earth.
