Hindu Nation under Siege

Abstract

Hindutva as a majoritarian nationalism presents itself as an awakening of the majority Hindu community to the threats it faces. It seeks to convert the numerical majority of Hindus into a political dominance. Why should Hindus mobilize themselves politically as Hindus? Because if they don’t, according to Hindu nationalist thinking, Hindus will soon be reduced to a minority status in their own land, their country will be lost, their culture and religion destroyed, their entire civilization decimated.
