"Mahatma Gandhi had once said that all religions are true, but they are not perfect. Through this he is saying that each religion can learn from another religion. A nation which is called so diverse which has millions of gods and over 700 languages,” he said.

"Now they are saying that you are a traitor. So if I am a traitor let me say something. At present in India, I don't know how RSS will harm Islam, but it will certainly destroy Hinduism," he said, delivering a public lecture on the occasion of the Constitution Day at the Gandhi Peace Foundation here.

A vociferous critic of the policies of the PM Narendra Modi-led Central government, Vajpeyi has been under attack by the Sangh parivar for returning his Sahitya Akademi award to protest rising intolerance in the country.

Referring to the recent controversy over the statements made by Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, he said,"There is a difference between the nation and its government. The nation is larger than the government. Protesting against the government doesn't mean one is protesting against the nation."

I am a firm believer that Hindus were never and will never need an Organisation for its protection .

Hindus have been blessed with such a large Volume of holy books which feed the intellect of the person as per his abilities and taste . In coming years , With a 100% educated society , we will have no need of the Gurus and Pseudo Saints .

If Hinduism was weak , we would have been lost in the papers of some Ancient Religious texts .
But I do fear that some insiders can harm it , just like insiders were responsible for the invasion of Sindh , which led to the invasion of South Asia .

I think the fears are misplaced.

This is about unifying the people across many regions. What ever principles India is built and working will never be altered.

So you are saying india regrets the invasion of sindh. Does it also mean you regret having muslims in india because had there been no invasion there would be no muslims here right now.

I do not think RSS is the right representative of Hinduism.

Just a heads up, unlike other religions we do not have a religious figure or religious organisation- Christians have Pope and Muslims their Imams.
And Hindus have a reputation of not uniting for their religion.

Imam is like a pandit. He is not the spiritual head of the religion like the pope. Imam is of a mosque so the imam of the holy mosque is important but not like the pope.

Take the example of Iran where a religious head like Al Khamenei(?) (I hope I got his spelling right) is considered a supreme leader.

That is an iranian thing not a muslim thing whereas the pope is the leader of catholics worldwide irrespective of where they live. Iran is a shia country and the leader is a shia but he is not looked up to by shias anywhere else.
