Okay to call Indian living abroad a ‘Hindu’: Kalraj Mishra
31 Aug 2014 4:53 AM IST
Union minister Kalraj Mishra on Friday said there is no exaggeration if a person living in ‘Hindustan’ is referred to as a ‘Hindu’ abroad.
‘There is no exaggeration if a person living in Hindustan is referred to as a Hindu abroad...a person going out is called a Hindu Muslim or Hindu Christian meaning a person living in Hindustan,’ Mishra said.
Elaborating on this, Mishra cited the High Courts and SC, which in their judgements, ‘have mentioned about the 2000-year-old ancient quotes and said that Hinduism is a way of life...a philosophy.’ ‘Hinduism is a nationality ... it doesn’t discriminate on caste and community and if anyone levels any charges, they need to study more,’ Mishra said.
