What is Hindutva?

Hindutva, a political ideology, is the predominant form of Hindu nationalism in India. It is championed by the Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other organisations, collectively called the Sangh Parivar. The Hindutva movement has been described by scholars as a variant of "right-wing extremism" and as "fascist in the classical sense", adhering to a disputed concept of homogenised majority and cultural hegemony.

Person 1: The Hindutva movement is on a rise in India, it is quite troubling.
Person 2: Yeah but I have faith in the people.

Hindutva = Hinduism that resists bigotry, hatred and attacks on Hindus and Hinduism

Hindutva is a word weaponized by bigots to attack Hinduism while concealing their hatred for Hindus.

In other words, you can claim to be woke and say you"support" Hindus while hating/slandering Hinduism simultaneously (bigots having their cake and eating it too).
