Hindu nationalism
Hindu nationalism is a political and cultural movement that emphasizes promoting and protecting Hindu identity, beliefs, and values as central to India’s national identity. It often advocates for policies that favor Hindus and highlights Hindu history and traditions, sometimes prioritizing Hindu interests over others. While it aims to foster a sense of unity among Hindus, critics say it can lead to social divisions and affect minority communities. Overall, Hindu nationalism seeks to shape India’s identity around Hindu culture, heritage, and values within a diverse society.
