By 2020, India will be Hindu nation, world by 2030: VHP patron Ashok Singhal
New Delhi, July 18: Calling the victory of the BJP- led alliance in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections as initiation of a "revolution" in the country, VHP patron Ashok Singhal today said by 2020, India would be a Hindu nation.
"I was at the Sai Baba Ashram where Sai Baba told me by 2020 the entire country will be Hindu and 2030 the entire world will be Hindu. I feel that revolution has started," he said at a function here attended by External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and other RSS functionaries.
"This is not a modest revolution. It will not remain confined to India but present a new ideology before the world," he said.

He was speaking at a programme for release of a book on the life and work of former RSS chief K S Sudarshan, who died last year with speakers remembering him as someone who encouraged promotion of 'swadeshi' model for the country's development.
Swaraj said Sudarshan had created a positive vibe around him due to which any worker could talk to him freely without fear and his "goodness" made him a "saint" amongst his peers.
"Sudarshanji created such an atmosphere around him that I could speak to him openly. I feel the goodness of a person is measured by the positive vibe that he creates around him.
If there is a sense of fear, no worker can talk freely. If there is no sense of fear, a worker can speak freely. He created such an atmosphere," she said.
