Abstract

Hindu nationalism is a political ideology that seeks to promote Hindu cultural and religious values and assert the primacy of Hinduism in the public sphere in India. It has its roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and has been influenced by a number of factors, including colonialism, anti-colonial nationalism, and the rise of Hindu religious and cultural revivalism. Hindu nationalism has been associated with several organizations and political parties, including the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In the post-independence era, Hindu nationalism has been a significant force in Indian politics, shaping the political discourse and direction of the country. Despite this, Hindu nationalism has also been a significant political force in India, and has been instrumental in shaping the country's political and cultural discourse. It has been associated with several key leaders, including V.D. Savarkar, M.S. Golwalkar, Balasaheb Deoras, L.K. Advani, Narendra Modi, and Amit Shah. These leaders have sought to promote Hindu cultural and religious values, assert the primacy of Hinduism in the public sphere, and shape the political discourse and direction of the country in a Hindu nationalist direction.
