Bhai Baldeep Singh to RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat: All Indians Are Not Hindus

2014-08-12-baldeep singhNEW DELHI, INDIA—While condemning Mohan Bhagwat’s statement on all Indians being Hindu, Bhai Baldeep Singh of Aam Aadmi Party has stated that the RSS leader had a lot to learn.  He said that Bhagwat did not seem to be a scholarly RSS leader.

Bhai Baldeep Singh said that everyone living in Bharat can be Bhartiya or Hindustani, however not everyone had to be a Hindu.  The statement by Bhai Baldeep Singh came after the senior RSS leader had passed a statement stating that all Indians had to be Hindus.

Mohan Bhagwat had stated that, “The entire world recognizes Indians as Hindus therefore India is a Hindu state. This is a very simple thing, if inhabitants of England are English, those of Germany are Germans and USA are Americans, all those who live in Hindustan are known as Hindus.”

Bhai Baldeep Singh stated that the cultural identity of all of India is not the same as the Hindutva ideology.  He said it is the diverse cultural identity of India that makes it unique.

Mohan Bhagwant is chief of the RSS, the Rashtriya Swamsewak Sangh, a right-wing Hindutva organization that mentors the Bhartiya Janta Party.

    In your own words .People Living in America can be American but
    not Christian.
    Similarly Every body living in INDIA can be INDIAN Or HINDUSTANI
    but NOT HINDUS.
