Hindutva is neither Left nor Right, says RSS general secretary at book discussionHindutva was “neither Right nor Left” and its essence was the embrace of different ideas, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ‘Sarkaryawah’ or general secretary Dattatreya Hosabale said on Friday. “I don’t belong either to the Right or Left….Hindutva, it is neither Left nor Right,” Mr. Hosabale said. In response to an earlier speaker, former diplomat Pavan K. Varma, saying that there was a need for “shaastraarth” or discussion today, Mr. Hosabale said he was ready to organise such a debate.
