Vivek Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old native of southwest Ohio, shared insights into his conventional upbringing, with parents who migrated to the U.S. from Kerala. Responding to Iowa voter Gunny Mitchell s Hindu faith, Ramaswamy asserted, "I am a Hindu. I won t fake my identity. Hinduism and Christianity share the same value set in common."
Indian-American Republican presidential aspirant Vivek Ramaswamy has expressed his faith as a source of freedom and inspiration for his presidential bid. He believes that his Hindu faith instills values similar to Christianity, such as respect for family, marriage, and parents. Ramaswamy grew up in a traditional household, where respect for parents and marriage is emphasized.
"Can I be a President who can promote Christianity across the country? I can't.I don't think that's what we should want a US President to do either.but will I stand for those shared values? Will I promote them in the examples that we set for the next generations? You are damn right, I will! Because that's my duty," Ramaswamy said. ‘My Hindu Faith Gives Me My Freedom’, Says US Presidential Candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
