On the holy festival of Diwali, where the festival of lights is being celebrated with great pomp all over the world, former legendary leg spinner of Pakistan Danish Kaneria has wished Diwali to the Sanatan lovers of the country and the world in a very special and spiritual manner. Kaneria, who has defeated big batsmen in the history of Pakistan cricket with his spin, has always been vocal about his unwavering faith in Hindu culture and Sanatan Dharma.

This time too, on the special occasion of Deepotsav, he has shared a very inspirational and deep message remembering the ideals of Lord Shri Ram on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), which is becoming increasingly viral on the internet.

Remembered the ideals of Lord Shri Ram

Through this special tweet, Danish Kaneria has explained the importance of Lord Ram's teachings and his philosophy of life in very beautiful words. He wrote in his message that Shri Ram is a living symbol of the victory of knowledge over power, dignity over ego and compassion over hatred.

His entire life reminds us that the real strength of a human being always lies in religion, humility and kindness. Making his message more effective, he made special mention of the famous Sanskrit verse 'Ramo Vigrahavan Dharmah' i.e. Lord Ram is the embodiment of religion and wished for the light of religion and immense happiness in the lives of all the countrymen.

Every Hindu festival is celebrated with pride in Pakistan.

Danish Kaneria, who belongs to the minority Hindu community in Pakistan, is deeply connected to his roots and celebrates every Hindu festival with full faith and pomp.

Be it the hubbub of Holi, the festival of lights of Diwali, the festival of Navratri or the holy occasion of Ram Navami, he openly highlights the importance of Sanatan culture through social media on every special occasion. However, due to living in the neighboring country of Pakistan and openly congratulating on Hindu festivals and making public his religious faith, he sometimes has to face sharp opposition from fundamentalists and social media trolling. Despite all these difficulties and pressures, Kaneria is never afraid and feeling proud of his religious roots, he always puts forth his views boldly in front of the world.

It has been such a wonderful journey on the cricket field.

Danish Kaneria, who has spread the magic of his spin in 61 Test matches for the Pakistan cricket team and taken 261 wickets, is the second Hindu player in history after Anil Dalpat to represent the Pakistan national team. Since his retirement from international cricket, he has been continuously speaking openly about the discrimination he faced in the Pakistani cricket setup and system and all the challenges he faced as a Hindu cricketer.

Despite this, Sanatan lovers across the world including India have deep respect for him and his spiritual and inspirational message shared on this auspicious occasion of Diwali remains a topic of constant discussion on social media.
