This is usually the case in youth. They are very neutral,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>She then claimed that people&#8217;s thinking changes after coming into contact with &#8220;Islamists&#8221;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>&#8220;But as soon as they are in contact with Islamists, their thinking becomes so defined that they become Leftist. I think there is no harm in that because the Constitution gives you freedom. You can adopt any religion or ideology you want,&#8221; Ranaut said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Speaking about herself, the BJP MP said she no longer considered herself a &#8216;moderate Hindu&#8217;.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"29\"\/>&#8220;But when it comes to Hindu daughters, I will not defend myself&#8230; Yes, I was a moderate Hindu,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>&#8220;Today, I am being harassed. Since when did you become a Sanghi? I want to become a Sanghi. I want to become an awakened Hindu like BJP and RSS. I want to convert. Why can&#8217;t I convert?&#8221; she added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"34\"\/>Ranaut also argued that Hindu women should have the freedom to adopt a defined ideological identity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>&#8220;I used to do everything.

This double-minded thinking will not work,&#8221; she said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"40\"\/>The remarks come amid an ongoing war of words between Ranaut and Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) leaders after she criticised young protesters and referred to them as &#8220;generation gutter&#8221; following the CJP-led protests over the alleged NEET-UG 2026 paper leak. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"42\"\/>CJP leaders had responded by saying her remarks were not taken seriously, even within her own party.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"44\"\/><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/india\/people-become-leftist-after-meeting-islamists-kangana-ranaut-says-shes-now-an-awakened-hindu\/articleshow\/132827508.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kangana shares new clip amid &#8216;generation gutter&#8217;
