Vision & Mission
1. Ideal of "Akhand Hindusthan"
The indivisibility of the land extending from the Himalayas down to the Southern and Eastern Seas being an article of faith with Hindudom. The Mahasabha shall strain every nerve to bring about the reunion of the States now called "Bharat" and "Pakistan," into a consolidated one, to be called "Akhand Hindustan."
2. Ideal of Hindu-Rashtra
The Hindu Mahasabha stands for the ideal of "Hindu-Rashtra" or a "National Home for the Hindu." It regards the present State of Bharat (and after reunion with Pakistan, the entire land from the Himalayas to the Seas) to be the "National Home of the Hindus."
3. Non-Hindus in Hindu-Rashtra
Non-Hindu Nationals in the Hindu-Rashtra shall enjoy the same rights and privileges as Hindus. No distinction shall be made by the Government between Hindus and non-Hindu Nationals while making appointments. They shall be entitled to equal civic rights and religious freedom.
