‘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.

Gambhir has a lot of experience, I am sure he will do great: Dravid
New Delhi (PTI): Former India head coach Rahul Dravid is expecting his successor Gautam Gambhir to do a "great" job with the national team.
Dravid was speaking to select media at the launch of 'Digital Classroom' provider' 'Roombr" here on Thursday.
Former India opener Gambhir began his coaching tenure with the tour of Sri Lanka in July-August.
"He (Gambhir) has got a lot of experience, as a player also he has played a lot, he obviously coached quite a bit. I am sure he will be great," said Dravid, who coached India to the T20 World Cup title in June.
"In any situation everyone brings his own experience and knowledge to the table. I am sure the team will benefit from everything that Gautam brings to them with his team," he added.
Under Dravid, the Indian team also reached the final of ODI World Cup and World Test Championship.
India begin their Test season under Gambhir on Thursday. The team will be playing 10s Test over the next four months including two against Bangladesh, three against New Zealand before travelling to Australia for a five match series.
