Hindutva philosophy

Hindutva is a political and cultural ideology that seeks to define Indian culture in terms of Hindu values and identity. It promotes the idea that India is fundamentally a Hindu nation, emphasizing the importance of Hindu heritage, traditions, and social norms. Advocates believe in uniting Hindus to assert their identity in the face of historical challenges. Hindutva has been associated with various political movements and parties, most notably the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). It often emphasizes nationalism and seeks to create a society that reflects Hindu principles, while critics argue it can foster exclusion and communal tensions.
