Bhagwat met different people including industrialists, social workers, businessmen and intellectuals at the Surat RSS headquarters. Later in the evening, 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. RSS Chief sounds like, ‘every Indians are Hindu’.

Over 150 people from different sections of the society, including doctors, engineers, chartered accountants, professors, teachers, lawyers, and thinkers were at the event.

Bhagwat arrived here on Tuesday morning. He will hold meetings with prominent citizens and local industrialists among others, the Gujarat unit of the RSS said.

Incidentally, the RSS chief is visiting the BJP-ruled Gujarat for the first time after a new government led by Bhupendra Patel took over, replacing the Vijay Rupani-led dispensation.

Though RSS chief wanted to emphasize as every Indians are Hindu, it is difficult to ascertain whether the anti-Hindu, anti-National and subversive elements like  Owaisi brothers, Khaleed Umar, Umar Gautam or Maulana Kaleem Siddiqui and many are so far Hindu or not.
