As per Savarkar, which is Not a difference between Hinduism and Hindutva?
AHinduism is a religious concept, Hindutva a cultural one
BHinduism has the larger scope and includes Hindutva ✓ Correct
CHindutva denotes the political ideology of the Hindu nation, while Hinduism is not a political ideology
DHindutva has the larger scope and includes Hinduism
Correct answer: (B) Hinduism has the larger scope and includes Hindutva — The statement that Hinduism has the larger scope and includes Hindutva is not a correct difference.
Explanation
★The statement that Hinduism has the larger scope and includes Hindutva is not a correct difference.
★For Savarkar it is Hindutva, not Hinduism, that has the wider scope.
★Hindutva is the broad cultural and national identity that includes Hinduism within it.
★Hinduism is only the religious part, while Hindutva covers culture, history and nationhood.
★Hindutva denotes the political ideology of the Hindu nation, which Hinduism by itself is not.
★So saying Hinduism includes Hindutva reverses Savarkar's actual relationship between the two.
★The correct view is that Hindutva is the larger whole that contains Hinduism.
