Santa Clara, Calif. (Diya TV) — After capturing seven of the 11 “Super Tuesday” Republican caucuses, Donald Trump is the clear frontrunner for the party’s Presidential nomination. As his campaign continues to garner more momentum, a group called ‘Hindus for Trump’ is making social media buzz for creating a poster (seen below) where Donald Trump is seen in a yoga pose sitting on something that resembles a lotus with colors of the American flag, embossed with an ‘Om’ symbol.

In Hindu mythology, the deity Vishnu sits in a similar posture on a lotus.

The group’s Facebook page can be seen here, and they also have a Twitter page (@USAHindus4Trump). Using the hashtag #HindusForTrump, proponents of the group have began sharing their message as to why they believe the billionaire real estate magnate is the best candidate to support in November’s election.

The president of the group, AD Amar, is also a business professor at Seton Hall University in New Jersey. In addition to this group, Amar also helped to create “Indian Americans for Trump 2016,” a political action committee registered with the Federal Election Commission. Amar said Trump’s policies on illegal immigration and economy were the main reasons why other Indian Americans should support him.

“On realizing that the agenda of Donald Trump for President 2016 is focused on reviving the American economy, rightly bringing America on the world stage, defeating terrorism and establishing peace through strength, many Indian-Americans believe that he is the best hope for America and the right candidate to be the next President,” Amar’s PAC previously said in a statement.

In a recent blog post, Hindus For Trump also listed what they call ‘evidence that USA Hindus are supporting Trump’.

“Sources estimate that there are between 1.5 million and 2.5 million Hindus living in the USA. But is there any evidence that this growing demographic is organizing to support Trump? Yes! And this support is coming from some of the most influential and widely respected names within the Hindu community,” the blog post said.

The group’s founder, Shalabh Kumar, reportedly “is close to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, [and] has relationships in the Republican Party dating back to the Reagan administration.”

Rishi Bhutada, treasurer of the Hindu American PAC, told Diya TV “Hindus are supporting all sorts of political views. As a group, I don’t think they are supporting one candidate.”

When asked about the deification of Trump in the poster by ‘Hindus for America’, Bhutada called the group “overly enthusiastic” and said “it’s probably not in good taste to cast a Presidential candidate in the same pose as a Hindu deity.”

“I think it’s taking into account a few individuals on social media. It’s not reflective of the entire Indian American Community.”Quote Author

Bhutada says HAPAC has only endorsed Congressional candidates to date and was still waiting to see how the primaries shake out before taking a stance on the Presidential race.

Although the Hindu American PAC is a separate entity from the Hindu American Foundation, the two are closely associated. Mihir Meghani, the co-founder of Hindu American Foundation, is also the Chair of the HAPAC.
