Recently, Mohan Bhagwat, RSS Chief speaking at the Golden Jubilee fuction commented that if residents of England are English, Germany are Germans and America are Americans then why all residents of Hindustan are not known as Hindus.
The cultural identity of all Indians is Hindutva and the present residents of the country are descendants of this great culture.
Bhagwat further said that Hindutva is a way of life and Hindus could be of any religion worshipping any God or not worshipping at all.
Quoting Vivekananda, not worshipping any God is not necessarily an atheist rather the one who doesn’t have faith in self is sure an atheist.
He said the world has now realised that Hindutva has been the only basis to keep India united since olden days above many diversities. He expressed concern that some in India are not realising it and whenever a discussion on it takes place, the protagonist are wrongly branded as communal.
