Abstract

H indutva as a majoritarian nationalism presents itself as an awakening of the majority Hindu community to the threats it faces. It seeks to convert the numerical majority of Hindus into a political dominance. Why should Hindus mobilize themselves politically as Hindus? Because if they don’t, according to Hindu nationalist thinking, Hindus will soon be reduced to a minority status in their own land, their country will be lost, their culture and religion destroyed, their entire civilization decimated. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
