This is a brilliant scene from #kantara where the Diety screams in the ear of the hero and takes possession of him. That’s what needs to happen to us Hindus. When we take the Roudra Avatar of our dieties,no terrorist,evangelist or Marxist will dare touch us. pic.twitter.com/dr1NWI089V— Aditya Nayak (@adityavnayak) October 19, 2022
