He is right, One who lived near the indus valley are called Hindu (geographic name). As religion we are divided into Muslim / Christian.
All the top Chiefs of RSS & BJP are Brahamins. Still following that Brahmin superiority system. Now just trying to bluff people by giving a pleasant statement.
Mohan Bhagwat is not a rishi. He is not qualified to decide on how Hinduism should be changed.
Enlightened after Bihar debacle.
He is planning for Ayodhya and giving hint to cooperate. Still he didnot forget to mention that all those living in India are Hindus but he forgot the fact that Aryans came India from Germany and nearby countries.
Actually Allmost all leaders of Sangh parivar knows very well that RSS theories will not last long untill it keeps on their lies..........so sometimes like Mr.Sudarshan who went to Eidgah on morning. if you remember......and some time Advani's in law admitted that the Idols gifted to him was melted and made utensils for his home use !!!!!!!!!!!
so also if one asks RSS about what religion they follow....they will not say HINDU but they say Hindu culture........................its a clear form of ISIS in India...as Hinduism never say to kill an innocent women and rape....
Hindu is not a religion, every person who lives in India is called hindu...ghar wapasi doesn't work here....live with dignity and respect...that is what it is required by every citizens of India...
Now its your job to teach your bajrangi and various sangh pariwar to get rid all terrorism activities around....
RSS loves BEEF so they name as GHOSH camp.
