PATNA, INDIA, January 12, 2003: The concept of “Hindutva” should be redefined on a broader perspective, salvaging it from what some believe are the “narrow confines” of a particular religion, two religious leaders said. “Love for all fellow beings, refraining from causing any harm to anybody with a spirit of sacrifice and dedication to come closer to the ‘Supreme Soul’ through spiritualism and meditation are the essence of the concept of ‘Hindutva’,” says Acharya Kishore Kunal and Ratan Lal Singh. They considered Hindutva as synonymous with an ideal lifestyle, devoid of greed, anger and feelings of revenge. They opposed intermingling of the pious approach of ‘Hindutva’ with nationalism of a particular country.
