Ramdev's ‘sharbat jihad’ remark sparks controversy, claims funds used to build mosques, madrasas
Haridwar: Yoga guru Ramdev has landed himself in a controversy by using the term “sharbat jihad” in a viral video, where he claimed that a company selling sharbat is using its earnings to build mosques and madrasas, while promoting Patanjali’s rose sharbat.
In the video, which was posted on the official Facebook page of Patanjali Products and has garnered over 37 million views, Ramdev is seen promoting Patanjali’s rose-flavored beverage. He contrasts it with an unnamed competitor’s product, saying: "If you drink that sharbat, there will be masjids and madrasas made. But, if you drink Patanjali's gulaab sharbat, then gurukuls, Acharyakulam, Patanjali University, and the Bharatiya Shiksha Board will be made.”
While he did not mention any specific brand, media reports have speculated that the comments may be directed at Hamdard’s Rooh Afza.
The caption accompanying the video took the messaging further, warning viewers about what it described as “toilet cleaners being sold as soft drinks.” Referring to this as “sharbat jihad,” Ramdev likened it to “love jihad” and “vote jihad,” and said people must protect themselves from it.
The remarks have sparked backlash on social media, with some users accusing Ramdev of communalising consumer choices. One comment read: “Looks like he’s eyeing a political role now, suddenly remembering mosques and madrasas.”
Meanwhile, many users asked Patanjali to reveal the total number of gurukuls and universities they have opened so far.
