‘आसिन्धु सिन्धुपर्यन्ता यस्य भारत भूमिका. पितृभू: पुण्यभूश्चैव स वै हिन्दुरितीस्मृतः’ अर्थात – समुद्र से हिमालय तक भारत भूमि जिसकी पितृभूमि है जिसके पूर्वज यहीं पैदा हुए हैं व यही पुण्य भमिू है, जिसके तीर्थ भारत भूमि में ही हैं, वही हिन्दू है… A Hindu is a person who regards this land of Bharatavarsha, from the Indus to the seas as his Fatherland as well as his holy land, that is the cradle land of his religion.
