Hindutva ideology

Hindutva, meaning "Hindu-ness," is an ideology that promotes the idea of India as fundamentally a Hindu nation. It advocates for the cultural and political dominance of Hindu values, beliefs, and practices, asserting that India’s identity is rooted in its ancient Hindu civilization. Hindutva emphasizes the importance of Hindu unity and seeks to establish a society aligned with Hindu principles. While it seeks to promote pride in Hindu culture, critics argue that it can marginalize non-Hindu communities and promote sectarianism, leading to tensions in India's diverse society.
