Garikapati narasimha rao caste certificate

Ashta avadhani

Garikapati is well-known among an upper caste Telugu audience for his Hindu discourses and framing of Brahmanical ideology as logic. Garikapati is famous in the upper caste Telugu sphere for his Hindu discourses pravachanam on mythological texts such as Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Vedas. In these discourses, Garikapati often draws lessons from these mythological texts for contemporary society.

Through this act, he offers perspectives and opinions on contemporary politics. His technique is to frame the Brahmanical ideology as logic and thus appeal to the younger, English speaking generation, including NRIs. Presenting a seemingly educated and logical argument, Garikapati deftly peddles Hindu supremacy. For instance, in one video on YouTube which has garnered over twenty-six thousand views, he says in India, ninety percent of laws have to be in favour of Hindus because they are the majority population.

As a convincing strategy, he gives an example from the Mahabharata saying when the Pandavas were struggling for food and when Kunti found food she did not divide it equally but gave half a portion to Bheem and the rest half she divides between herself and the rest of her sons. This, he says, is because Bheem needs that nourishment to do great things, similarly in India all religions cannot be treated equally but they need to be given their place.

He says the demand for equality is responsible for conflicts. Garikapati also claims scientific knowledge existed in mythological texts.
