	Hindu nationalism Summary
		Hindu nationalism is the political and cultural expression, histriographical and political theories of Indian nationalism distinctive to Hindu society in India, which asserts being Hindu as not merely a religious identity, but a national identity.
		The main inspiration of Hindu nationalism arises from the glories of the Mauryan Empire and the Gupta Empire, under whom India was politically and military dominant and prosperous, and Hindu religion and culture at its greatest heights.
		The Bharatiya Janata Party and its predecessor the Bharatiya Jana Sangh are considered by observers and critics as the political wing of the RSS.

	HINDU REVIVALISM AND HINDUTVA MOVEMENT
		Hindu organizations have claimed that Babri Mosque was built in 1528 by the moghul ruler Babur on the very spot where Ramajanmasthan (the birth temple of Rama) was located.

		Hindu nationalism became situated as a communal ideology, in contrast to Congress nationalism, in a manner that marginalised the dialogue, the interaction and blending of these areas of thought about Indian politics and culture.
		Hindu nationalism developed into a kind of trope, which acted to define or affirm the non-communal credentials of the INC, a position which was only emphasised by the traumas of partition and the assassination of Gandhi.
		Identification with the Hindu race and nation is encompassed by the recognition of pitribhum; whereas identification with culture is encompassed by the recognition of punyabhum.

	Facing Internal Threats To Nation's Integrity
		The Akhil Bharatiya Pratinidhi Sabha (the All-India General Council) of the Sangh, in March 1953, severely condemned the repressive policy of the Central and Jammu and Kashmir Governments against the Satyagrahis and urged them to heed to the just and patriotic demands of the Praja Parishad.

		Traditionally conservative but apolitical Hindu temples in USA and Europe are now targeted by the Sangh in order to mobilize second-generation Indian-American youth through organization of VHP-sponsored Hindu summer camps and various religious conventions of HSC.
		Thus, in the nineties, RSS, VHP, and BJP forged the strong Hindu revivalist Rama platform that dwelled on the issue of the "historic" birthplace of Lord Rama in Ayodhya in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
		Clearly, BJP now seems to be the party of choice of the upper caste conservative Hindus-the traditional kingmakers of India-and the political equilibrium seems to have shifted in their direction.

		The meteoric rise of Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP in the Indian political horizon is all but certain to bring back an era of right-wing divisiveness and hatred that is bound to cause more bloodshed in the coming days—both within the country and on its borders.
		This may remind us of his campaign speeches during the recent Indian elections, "Is it a crime to be a Hindu in this country?" [2] One can perceive the same Hindu Vajpayee—only with refined rhetoric and a display of moderation—very similar to the recently toned-down functioning style of BJP itself.
		This is a centerpiece of the Sangh pledge to the affluent and conservative upper caste Hindus.

		The orthodox members of the Mahasabha sought to stop these proposed changes but were unable to do so, and so began to withdraw from the movement.
