On September 24, 2026, Vice-President Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan released the book 'Vishwasanchar Hindutva Ka', published by Saptahik Vivek at Uprasthrapati Bhavan. The Vice President expressed hope that the book would encourage deeper reflection on Bharat's cultural journey and its engagement with various aspects of society.
Speaking on the occasion, the Vice-President noted the long history of Saptahik Vivek, established in 1948, and its engagement with Maharashtra’s social, cultural, and public life. He appreciated its tradition of publishing books and research-oriented literature on Bharat’s culture, national and international affairs, and important social questions.
The Vice-President said the publication of the book is particularly timely as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, founded by Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar in Nagpur in 1925, has completed its centenary. He highlighted that he has had a long association with the Sangh and it is a personal honor for him to be part of this book release.
The Vice-President said the RSS was established with the objective of reviving cultural Hindutva and that Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar underscored the bond between Hindutva and the Sangh. He observed that the working methodology of the Sangh has stood the test of time, enabling it to establish itself as a significant organization with a presence across diverse areas of social life.
Emphasizing the inclusive character of Hindutva, Shri C. P. Radhakrishnan said, 'Hindutva is not against anyone. Hindutva cannot be against anyone. It takes everyone together.' He also noted that the word 'Hindutva' has acquired different meanings in different historical and intellectual contexts and has been interpreted differently by political thinkers, scholars, organizations, and critics.
The Vice-President called upon young people to read, question, investigate, and understand Bharat’s rich heritage while remaining conscious of the constitutional values and democratic institutions that shape the present.
