AHMEDABAD, Sept 29: The RSS Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat, who is on a two-day tour of Surat city in south Gujarat, has said Hindutva take everyone along and did not differentiate from one person to another.
The RSS sources said Bhagwat’s trip to Surat was a “non-political tour.” Bhagwat met different people including industrialists, social workers, businessmen and intellectuals at the Surat RSS headquarters. Later he addressed a gathering of intellectuals on Hindutva at the Science Centre in the city. “Hindutva has three meanings–darshanik, laukik, and rashtriyata (philosophic, worldly, and national). Those living south of Sindhu river are known as Hindus,” he said.
A society having a common culture is a rashtra, he added, before appealing that there was a need to stand united. “Hindutva means those who walk unitedly with all people,” he added.
Over 150 people from different sections of the society, including doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, professors, teachers, lawyers, and thinkers attended the event.
