Hindutva ideologies

Hindutva is an ideological concept emphasizing the cultural and religious identity of Hindus as the core of Indian identity. It advocates for India to be recognized primarily as a Hindu nation, promoting Hindu values, culture, and traditions. Supporters see it as a way to unify Hindus and protect their interests, while critics view it as exclusionary toward minorities and a potential driver of communal tensions. Hindutva combines religious nationalism with cultural pride, aiming to define the nation’s identity through Hindu heritage and history.
