<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />

Mahatma Gandhi:<br />

"I call myself a Sanatani H<strong>in</strong>du because I believe <strong>in</strong> the Vedas, the<br />

Upanishads, the Puranas and all that goes by the name of H<strong>in</strong>du<br />

scriptures, and therefore <strong>in</strong> avatars and rebirth.<br />

Above all, I call myself a Sanatani H<strong>in</strong>du, so long as the H<strong>in</strong>du society <strong>in</strong><br />

general accepts me as such.<br />

In a concrete manner he is a H<strong>in</strong>du who believes <strong>in</strong> God, immortality of<br />

the soul, transmigration, the law of karma and moksha, and who tries to<br />

practice truth and ahimsa <strong>in</strong> daily life, and therefore practices cow<br />

protection <strong>in</strong> its widest sense and understands and tries to act accord<strong>in</strong>g<br />

to the law of varnashrama."<br />
