Let’s move to an African country, Uganda, to see the importance of Hindutva. Our population has gone from an absolute majority in Afghanistan just a few centuries ago to zero because we didn’t have a common political umbrella – ‘Hindutva’ over there. However, the desert cults chose to wage a religious war against Hindus, Sikhs & Buddhists & we are all but wiped out from the place. Sanatan Dharma has been a prevalent religion in Afghanistan since the dawn of time. Let’s take a look at our broken son, Afghanistan – a child we lost forever. Veer Savarkar joined the Hindu Mahasabha and popularized the term Hindutva (Hinduness) to form a collective “Hindu” identity as the heart of Bharat ( India). The first recorded use of the word Hindutva is believed to have been made in this work. Let’s look at the history and the ‘present-day’ motto of Hindutva to debunk the myth.Ĭhandranath Basu’s book Hindutva was published in 1892. The real reason why Hindutva exists is to preserve & protect the world’s oldest religion. Those articles felt like a personal attack because the actual definition of Hindutva, in my opinion, is much more calming and inclusive. Numerous other websites claim that Hindutva is wrong, evil, and a broken ideology. I am compelled to write this article after being bombarded with comments and personal messages accusing me of being a ‘Hindutva fascist’ when I wrote long-form articles on Hinduism, Sanatan Dharma & Indic History.Ī quick google search on Hindutva shocked me as Wikipedia states that Hindutva is a variant of right-wing extremism.
