Is Shwetabh Gangwar Unknowingly Promoting Andhbhakti in India?

In this podcast, we dive deep into Shwetabh Gangwar’s approach towards Premanand and question whether his selective endorsement of certain “good” advices is unintentionally fueling andhbhakti (blind devotion).

While Premanand may give valuable relationship or life insights, he also represents a growing trend in India where gurus are treated like living gods. By highlighting only the positives and ignoring problematic aspects, even rational voices like Shwetabh risk contributing to this wave of blind following.

We argue that responsible creators must cover both sides of such personalities—praising what’s useful, but also exposing flaws and contradictions. Otherwise, the audience is left with an incomplete picture that only strengthens cult-like devotion.

This discussion is not about hating Shwetabh or Premanand, but about addressing the larger societal danger: how influencers and thinkers may unknowingly encourage hero worship, selective reasoning, and blind faith.

🔹 Topics we cover in this episode:

Why Shwetabh’s selective praise of Premanand is problematic

The rise of andhbhakti and living-god culture in India

Responsibility of influencers in shaping public thought

Why balanced critique is necessary in today’s guru culture

The psychological trap of cherry-picking advice

If you’re someone who follows Shwetabh, Premanand, or are concerned about the state of critical thinking in India, this podcast is a must-listen.
