By Gurnam Singh | Opinion |While often conflated, Hinduism and Hindutva represent distinct entities. Hinduism, in its essence, transcends the rigid definition of a religion. It embodies a vibrant tapestry woven from millennia of diverse traditions, philosophies, and spiritual practices. This vast spectrum encompasses the profound inquiries of Shaivism, Vaishnavism, Shaktism, and Smarta, each offering unique pathways to understanding the universe and one’s place within it.
