Census में नए धर्म के अलग कॉलम की मांग क्यों जोर पकड़ रही है? | Punjab Election | Ravidasia

Will India witness the birth of a new religion? A section of the Ravidassia community in Punjab is demanding that "Ravidassia Dharma" be recognized as a separate religion in the upcoming Indian Census. But why is this demand being raised now, and what does it mean for Punjab's politics, Dalit identity, Sikh history, and caste dynamics? In this video, we trace the story of Guru Ravidas, the origins of the Ravidassia movement, the 2009 Vienna attack, the role of Dera Sachkhand Ballan, the creation of the Amritbani, and the growing demand for a separate religious identity. We also explain the historical connection with the Ad Dharm movement, the politics of the Doaba region, and how this issue could influence Punjab's future. This video explores the intersection of religion, caste, identity, history, and electoral politics through verified historical sources and expert insights.
