Digvijay Singh's Hindutva Remarks Ignite Political Debate Ahead of Diwali
Congress leader Digvijay Singh's remarks distinguishing Hindutva from Hinduism and Sanatan Dharma have sparked political controversy, drawing criticism from the BJP, which accuses him of exploiting religious divisions. Singh clarified his critique targets Hindutva as a political ideology, not Hinduism. Another Congress leader, Udit Raj, questioned Hindu contributions to India's freedom struggle, intensifying the debate ahead of Diwali. The controversy revisits differing views on Hindutva's meaning, including the Supreme Court's 1995 ruling describing it as a way of life, highlighting ongoing tensions over religion and politics in India.
