Hindu Sena celebrates Trump’s victory

AFP, NEW DELHI: A far-right Hindu group which has been one of Donald Trump’s most avid overseas cheerleaders began celebrating in New Delhi Wednesday as the Republican pulled off a shock US presidential election victory.
Vishnu Gupta, chief of the ultra-nationalist ‘Hindu Sena’ outfit, said supporters had taken to the streets to bang traditional drums even before Trump claimed victory and would also distribute celebratory sweets.
Trump’s hardline rhetoric towards Muslims has found favour in some quarters in India, the world’s largest democracy which has had its fair share of tensions between the majority Hindu population and its Muslim minority.
