‘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.
