‘Hinduism is not religion, only nationality’: Former BJP MP Ramesh Katti’s video goes viral
Belagavi: A video of former MP of the BJP Ramesh Katti, brother of former minister late Umesh Katti, recently stating that Hinduism is not a religion is going viral on social media.
The former MP’s words follow the statement on the term ‘Hindu’ made by Congress leader and KPCC working president Satish Jarkiholi, which also gave rise to a huge debate.
Addressing a gathering, Ramesh Katti had said, “Hinduism is not a religion, it is an inheritance, it is a style of life,” as shown in the video.
“We have the Himalayan mountain range at one end and the Hind Mahasagar (Indian Ocean) on the other. The people in this ‘Sindh’ region have been called Hindus. It is a term similar to ‘Europeans’, ‘Australians’ and ‘Americans’. Hinduism, therefore, is merely a nationality and not a religion,” stated Katti.
The video has been going viral on social media.

Sanatan Dharma remark: SC refuses plea for FIR against Udhayanidhi Stalin
New Delhi, Jan 27 (PTI): The Supreme Court on Monday refused to examine pleas seeking FIR against Tamil Nadu Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin over his "eradicate Sanatan Dharma" remark in 2023.
The three petitions came up for hearing before a bench of Justices Bela M Trivedi and Prasanna B Varale.
After the bench asked how petitions filed under Article 32 of the Constitution could be maintained, the petitioners' counsel sought permission to withdraw the pleas with a liberty to pursue an appropriate remedy.
Udhayanidhi, a well-known film actor and son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and ruling DMK chief M K Stalin, was accused of passing the remark which a plea alleged was hate speech.
In September 2023, the apex court agreed to hear one of the pleas seeking registration of an FIR against Udhayanidhi and others over his "eradicate Sanatan Dharma" remark.
