In a recent political development in Karnataka, BJP candidate from Dakshina Kannada, Captain Brijesh Chowta, has made a profound statement on ‘Hindutva’. Echoing the sentiments of the Prime Minister’s motto, ‘Vikas bhi Virasat bhi’, Chowta expressed that he truly believes ‘Hindutva’ encapsulates the same essence.
“Hindutva is our identity, it is a way of life,” Chowta stated, emphasizing the significance of Hindutva in the cultural and societal fabric of India. He further elaborated that Hindutva is about inclusivity and unity, about taking everybody together.
Chowta also highlighted the resilience inherent in Hindutva. He said, “Hindutva means where there is an attack on the culture or identity, you strongly resist, you strongly become a voice against these sorts of aggresses.” This statement underscores the protective aspect of Hindutva, advocating for a strong stance against any threats to cultural identity.
Furthermore, Chowta asserted that Hindutva involves a strong resistance against anti-national forces and anti-Bhartiya sentiments. This perspective aligns with the broader narrative of safeguarding national interests and upholding the Bhartiya ethos.
This statement from Captain Brijesh Chowta adds to the ongoing discourse on Hindutva in the political landscape of Karnataka, and indeed, the entire nation. As the political scenario unfolds, it remains to be seen how these views resonate with the electorate in the upcoming elections.
