Delivering the lecture, Secretary, Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind, Maulana Abdul Hamid Nomani, explained that Hinduism and Hindutva connoted different meanings. While Hinduism was a religion based on a positive outlook, Hindutva, as defined by the Supreme Court, was a way of life, he said.
Dwelling at length on the current upsurge of Hinduism, Maulana Abdul Hamid Nomani said that the move was aimed at protecting the Brahminical order.
In his presidential remarks, the Chairman of the IOS, Dr. Muhammad Manzoor Alam, informed that the subject would be further debated after it was discussed at the meeting with the office-bearers of the Institute.
