Public meeting
In the public meeting held at the taluk ground, the Pratham Go Sevak Pramukh Harish Saralaya, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh's Pratham Go Sevak, said that every Hindu should unite in the concept that we are all one. Indians have taught the world culture, civilization and the art of living. If our country is to survive, Hinduism must survive. In that regard, he called on Hindus to organize.
The joint family is the greatest strength of Hinduism. The culture of living together is the source of our religion. The recent urban craze and modern lifestyle are increasing the number of divorce cases. This is a danger that is fatal to Hinduism and society. He said that the responsibility of preserving family values lies with everyone.
Chief guest Dr. Matanda Ayyappa spoke and said that India cannot be imagined without Hindutva. Only when we work from the perspective of Hindutva can we eradicate some of the ills of society. We must work together. Hindutva is not a caste, it is a way of life, he said.
