Debate With Arnab: Huge Political Faceoff Over Self-Styled Shankaracharya

Debate With Arnab: Political showdown over a self-styled Shankaracharya, where religious titans collide with state muscle in a battle exposing cracks in Hindu leadership and power games ahead of key elections.

Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati's bold claim to the Jyotirmath throne—despite Supreme Court backing a rival—ignited chaos at Prayagraj's Magh Mela when police halted his royal chariot bath, sparking lathi charges, disciple protests, and a stinging government notice branding him an imposter. Opposition heavyweights like Akhilesh Yadav roar of BJP's assault on Sanatan Dharma, accusing Yogi Adityanath of favoring "fake babas" while crushing true seers, as the CM fires back that no one can self-anoint as Shankaracharya. This viral faceoff pits tradition against legality, with seer loyalists crying state tyranny.

Republic TV's Arnab Goswami commands the warzone arena, grilling maulanas, sadhus, SP firebrands, and BJP warriors in a no-mercy grill on faith purity, electoral conspiracies, and who guards Hinduism's soul.
