Hindutva Movement

Hindutva is a political and cultural ideology in India that promotes the idea of defining Indian identity primarily through Hindu cultural and religious values. It seeks to unite Hindus by emphasizing shared heritage, traditions, and national pride, often positioning Hindu culture as central to Indian identity. The movement advocates for policies that align with Hindu values and has been associated with efforts to shape national identity and politics. While it aims to foster unity among Hindus, critics argue it can sometimes marginalize or threaten religious minorities and challenge the secular fabric of India.
