Loyalty of British Hindus lies with 'karma bhoomi' UK: RSS chief

Hindutva is clear that your 'karma bhoomi' is where your loyalties lie and for British Hindus that is the UK, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat said on Sunday. Addressing a large diaspora celebration entitled ‘Celebration of Oneness’, attended by hundreds of community leaders, students and volunteers of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) UK in London, Bhagwat answered a series of pre-submitted questions by the audience. He was also asked to define Hindutva to clear up misconceptions associated with the term at the main public-facing event of the UK leg of his three-nation tour. He defined Hindutva as a concept of oneness: “We need not be separate. We can go together. We can work together. We can live together, and we should do together. That is Hindutva.”

There is unity in diversity,” he said.  Bhagwat went on to highlight the RSS as an organisation underpinned by sewa and expressed confidence in the role to be played by future generations in working towards a better world through this principle.
