What exactly you mean by Hindutva with respect to international Audience Hindutva is nothing but study of Hindu Sociology (community-sense or jathi or caste), study of Hindu Spirituality, study of Hindu history for betterment of mankind. Communist was gifted by one individual called Karl Marx, Capitalism was gifted by one individual called Adam Smith, Islam was gifted by one individual called Mohammed, Christianity was gifted by one individual called jesus, Judaism was gifted by one individual called Abraham, Hindutva was gifted to humanity by the collective civilization called Hindu Civilization.

I have never called them Hindu Parsis , Hindu Jews , Hindu Arabs , Hindu Mongols , Hindu Turks as there forefathers were never Hindus , there nationality is not Hindu ( Indian ) though Bharat is there adopted land and they are its citizen but not its nationality.

When temples of Jews were destroyed many Jewish nationality came to Bharat and adopted it. They were never Hindu nationals they were citizens of Bharat. When Israel was created many of these Jews left Bharat for Israel. By this I am not saying that state should discriminate the citizens based on there nationality or faith or race or creed everyone should be treated equally and should be given equal opportunity to grow. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Swamiji treated all children of this land, irrespective of their religion

as Hindus which is a cultural concept, he reminded: "The word Hindu, therefore,

covers not only Hindus proper, but Mohammedans, Christians, Jains and other

people who live in India." (III:118).à This I found from google search. Here Swamiji means Swami Vivekananda
