Washington: Indian-American presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke extensively about his Hindu faith, stating that it provides him with freedom and serves as a moral obligation motivating his presidential campaign. As one of the contenders for the 2024 White House race, the 38-year-old Republican candidate, born to Indian parents from Kerala, shared insights at 'The Family Leader' forum organized by The Daily Signal on Saturday.
Ramaswamy, a native of southwest Ohio, highlighted his belief in the "one true God" and the moral duty instilled by his faith. He emphasized that his faith teaches individuals that they have a duty to realize their purpose, and the shared values represent God's instruments working through people in different ways.
During his speech, Ramaswamy drew parallels between Hindu and Christian faiths, noting the common values they share that belong to God. He expressed his commitment to standing for these shared values as the US President, clarifying that he would not promote Christianity across the country but would uphold the principles that both religions share.
Reflecting on his experience attending a Christian high school, Ramaswamy recalled learning about the Ten Commandments and other core principles that, in his view, belong to God and transcend specific religious affiliations. As a presidential candidate, he pledged to uphold these shared values without favoring any particular religion.
