Saffron movement

The Saffron Movement refers to a series of protests and political activities in India primarily associated with the Hindu nationalist ideology, represented by the color saffron, which is sacred in Hinduism. It gained prominence in the 1990s, advocating for the rights of Hindus and promoting policies aligned with Hindutva, the ideology of Hindu nationalism. Key events include mobilizing against perceived injustices towards Hindus and the push for building a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. The movement has significantly influenced Indian politics, contributing to the rise of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and changing the country's socio-political landscape.
