Venkatesh Prasad has been making similar posts on his Twitter account recently. The talented medium-fast bowler has been posting Hindu-centric messages on his Twitter account for quite some time now. He also sang Shri Ram Stuti and posted a video of it on Twitter in June of last year. He also provided the audience with translations of the lyrics.
Shri Ram Stuti” is an aarti, written by Goswami Tulsidas in the sixteenth century. It is a beautiful call to Lord Rama.

Prasad recently slammed the Congress party for normalizing the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits and attempting to spread misleading information about crimes against the Hindu minority. The former cricketer accused the Congress of plunging to new lows by injuring Kashmiri Pandits’ feelings once again.
Prasad joined Twitter on the 8th of April, 2021. Within a couple of months, Prasad had made several tweets emphasizing his Hindu roots. He is one of the few celebrities who have been so open about their Hindu faith and one can hope that he is only the first among many to come.
