In a remarkable incident on the 20th of October 2023, a student from ABES College of Engineering in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, found himself at the center of an unexpected controversy during a college cultural festival. The incident occurred when the student greeted the audience’s courteous “Jai Shri Ram” with his own on the mic.

This exchange of ‘Ram Naam’ turned into a controversy as a secular professor at the college lost her temper with the student. Netizens are demanding action against the professor for her anti-Hindu stance as well as polarized political views. Let’s take a moment to understand why this heartfelt slogan incites Burnol Moments in the minds of sickular secularists.

The Incident That Sparked a Viral Controversy

The ABES College incident soon caught fire on social media. A video of the assistant professor, identified by reports as Mamata Gautam, berating the student for returning a “Jai Shri Ram” in greeting to the crowd went viral. In the video, she questions the student, “Why did you raise the slogan of Jai Shri Ram? Do you come to college for this? This is a cultural program. This cannot be allowed! Out! Get out!”

The incident transpired during a college cultural festival named ‘Navtarang 2023-24‘ and was intended to welcome the BTech first-year students at the ABES College of Engineering, Ghaziabad. She and another unidentified professor made the student leave the stage. They refused the student’s plea that it was just a return of the greeting to the crowd. They staunchly reiterated that the slogan was a political call and not a socio-religious greeting among like-minded individuals.

‘Jai Shri Ram’ – A Symbol of Sanatana Pride and Identity

Delhi BJP president @Virend_Sachdeva informed @myogiadityanath and @myogioffice and within few minutes action was taken against teacher 'Mamta Gautam' student will be re-admitted to college and the institute will be apologising on social media platform like X itself.

The incident has ignited a wave of online outrage. Many netizens are calling for repercussions against the teacher for reprimanding a student who simply responded to the audience’s ‘Jai Shri Ram’ greeting.

This incident lays bare the successful weaponization of sick secular ideals in the teaching staff.

Would the professors accept a student’s greeting of Allahu Akbar on the mic? As a true-blue secular she may justify that Allahu Akbar is a religious greeting; even if terrorists shout this before a beheading! She will probably never accept that ‘Jai Shree Ram’ greeting is an integral part of Sanatana Dharma

In this case, the netizens were able to catch the eye of BJP and CM YogiAdityanath. As per the latest input, the college will take action against the professor. Moreover, they will readmit the student and apologize publicly. However, the trouble is that public outrage is required to move mountains to protect Hindus. Why do managing committees need public or political prodding to do walk the path of Dharma?

The Unapologetic Rise of Sanatana Dharma

The incident highlights the growing assertion of Sanatana Dharma and its symbols, like ‘Jai Shri Ram,’ among the youth of Bharat. For many, this slogan represents not just a religious chant but a symbol of their pride and identity.

The Chetan-Sanatanis (Aware Sanatanis) are retaking their birthright in Bharat! They are ready to face the consequences of proudly proclaiming their Dharma. It also unmasks the sick mentality of liberals, leftists, and secularists. The Hindu heartland’s unapologetic youth are presenting ‘Burnol Moments’ to those who feel Sanatana is a political tool.

Secularism vs. Sanatana Dharma


The incident underscores the ideological clash between sick secularism and the rising influence of Sanatana Dharma. Leftists and liberals find it challenging to accept the resurgence of Hindu identity and cultural pride, often leading to such ‘Burnol Moments’.

Therefore, such incidents define the changing dynamics in Bharat, where the youth are unapologetically embracing their cultural roots and challenging the status quo. ‘Jai Shri Ram’ is more than just a slogan; it’s a testament to the growing pride and identity of Bharat’s youth in their rich heritage. While the clash between sickularism and Sanatana Dharma continues, Bharat’s Sanatana youth will undoubtedly continue to serve up ‘Burnol Moment’ for some.
