Which of the following statements is correct?

A- Atal Behari Vajpayee is the originator of 'Hindutva'
B- Kanshi Ram was the founder of BAMCEF

Only Statement 'B' is correct.

The term 'Hindutva,' coined by its originator V. D. Savarkar, literally signifies 'Hinduness.' In Savarkar's understanding, it forms the foundation of Indian (also Hindu, in his terminology) nationhood. Fundamentally, it proposes that to be integral members of the Indian nation, individuals must not only acknowledge India as their 'fatherland' (pitrubhu) but also as their sacred land (punyabhu). Advocates of 'Hindutva' contend that a robust nation can only emerge from a steadfast and unified national culture. They further assert that, in the context of India, this foundational element can solely be furnished by Hindu culture.

Kanshi Ram (1934-2006) was a driving force behind the empowerment of Bahujan communities and the visionary founder of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Departing from his central government position, he dedicated himself to social and political causes, establishing the BAMCEF, Dalit Shoshit Samaj Sangharsh Samiti (DS-4), and ultimately, the BSP in 1984. With keen political acumen, he recognized political authority as the pivotal catalyst for achieving social parity. His strategic insight contributed to the resurgence of Dalit representation, particularly in the northern Indian states.
