Indian Supreme Court’s Definition of a Hindu

KAUAI, HI : Yesterday’s article on HPI entitled “Being a Hindu in Indian Law” stated that “Nearly 15 years ago the Supreme Court had found it tough to define Hinduism.” That is not accurate. That particular decision embraced the definition by B.G Tilak, a concise and widely accepted formula:

“Acceptance of the Vedas with reverence; recognition of the fact that the means or ways to salvation are diverse; and the realization of the truth that the number of Gods to be worshipped is large, that indeed is the distinguishing feature of Hindu religion. (B.G.Tilak’s Gitarahasayal).”
