“Hindus, according to Savarkar, are those who consider India to be the land in which their ancestors lived, as well as the land in which their religion originated.” Which make Muslims and Christians as Hindus as “True Hindus”. Actual Hindu is more of a geographical term used for the people who live in the land of Hind, east of Hindukush mountains. Today confusion is created by not understanding and term “Hindu” properly. Hindu word was used in religious sense by muslim invaders to define the people who were not muslims in the lands of al-Hind. Even today Arabs call modern India by the name “al-Hind”. There is no central authority to say who is true Hindu and who is not. Anybody who respect belief of others as much as his/her own is true Hindu. Anybody who is not bound by particular book or doctrine and have open mind is Hindu. So if Muslims and Christians exhibit open mind they are as true Hindus as anybody else in India.
