Is Astrology Running India More Than Politicians?

Astrology and Political Power: Who’s Really Steering India?

Astrology has long been a part of India’s cultural fabric, influencing festivals, marriages, and even business decisions. But in recent years, its influence appears to have seeped into politics, policy-making, and public discourse, raising a curious question: is astrology now running India more than its politicians? According to Prashant Reports, a significant portion of political decisions and public announcements increasingly coincide with astrological guidance, suggesting that the stars might be quietly steering the nation’s course.

The Deep Cultural Roots of Astrology

Astrology is not just a superstition in India it is a part of everyday life and tradition. Astrology influences decisions in both the social and economic domains from horoscopes that guide marriage alliances to auspicious timings for business endeavors. Political leaders find it simpler to consult astrologers without worrying about negative public reaction because of this cultural acceptance. 

Both Astrology and Political Leaders

Some Indian politicians reportedly regularly seek advice from astrologers before making important choices such as deciding when to hold elections, launch projects or appoint members to cabinets. Although public politicians frequently refute these assertions, insiders say that astrological advice occasionally has an impact on important governance and policy choices. The harmony between cultural beliefs and logical governance is called into question by this blending of politics and mysticism.

Astrology in the Public Eye

Astrology is not just popular among politicians. Growing public demand is demonstrated by the emergence of celebrity astrologers, astrology apps and social media sites that provide daily horoscopes. The political ecosystem that results from voters’ belief in astrology encourages leaders to base their choices on astrological guidance in order to stay popular and credible.

Symbolism Superstition or Policy

Even though it’s simple to write off astrology as superstition it has real symbolic and occasionally useful applications. Sometimes astrologically favorable times are used to schedule public ceremonies, election dates and even the introduction of new policies. While proponents view these customs as innocuous cultural traditions that coexist with contemporary governance, critics contend that they undermine the ability to make logical decisions.

The Thin Line Separating Governance from Belief

The increasing prominence of astrology in Indian politics draws attention to a conflict between custom and logical leadership. Astrology can promote public involvement and cultural continuity but if it is used excessively it runs the risk of obscuring evidence-based policymaking. It is still very difficult to strike a balance between respect for cultural beliefs and the requirements of a modern democracy. 

It is indisputable that astrology exists in India and even the highest political levels seem to be impacted by it. Alongside elected leaders astrology holds a special place whether it is informing policy or influencing personal choices. The issue is not whether astrology is practiced in India – it is – but rather if it ought to be involved in politics. In a country founded on democracy and reasoned legislation this debate is probably going to go on for years.
