	Hindutva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Indian subcontinent (which includes the area south of the Himalaya and the Hindu Kush, usually Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and sometimes Afghanistan) or Akhand Bharat is the homeland of the Hindus.
		Hindus have been historically oppressed in their own land by invading forces like the Muslims and the Christians.
		A Hindu state must be established to protect the rights of the Hindus in their homeland and bring about a general cultural revival.

		Hindu nationalists have all along viewed proselytisation by Christian missionaries in India as a threat to the safety, security, integrity and freedom of their country.
		Opposition by Hindu Nationalists: Against the backdrop of the “dark spots” of Christian history, the Hindu nationalists particularly the RSS and other constituents of Sangh Parivar strongly opposed proselytisation of the depressed section of Hindu society in the garb of a philanthropist movement.
		The Hindu nationalists on the other hand, are not prepared to compromise with the forces detrimental to their national interest.

	Hindu Nationalists Are Enrolling, and Enlisting, India's Poor
		Education is a centerpiece of the Hindu revivalist campaign, which is natural, considering its cause: to build a Hindu nation out of what is officially a secular country with rights accorded to religious minorities.
		The Hindu nationalists' larger mission is summed up this way in a required textbook for book 12th grade students at Sewa Dham.
		Indeed, it was to fight the Christian missionaries in the tribal belt that Rajinder Singh Negi, an upper-caste Hindu from the northeastern province of Uttaranchal and an energetic, affable teacher at Sewa Dham, chose his vocation.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Special reports \| Hindu nationalists storm airport
		Hindu nationalists today stormed an airport in central India and forced it to shut down in retaliation for yesterday's attack on a sacred shrine.
		Hindu nationalists blamed the attack on Pakistan-backed Muslim militants, but the activists have not yet been identified and nobody has so far claimed responsibility.
		The shrine was built by thousands of Hindu nationalists in 1992 after they had pulled down a 16th century Muslim mosque with crowbars, spades and their bare hands.

	Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is an Hindu nationalist organization which bases itself on the principles of Hindutva.
		Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Sri Aurobindo and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee are, however, associated with the kind of Hindu revivalism that eventually led to the birth of the RSS and modern Hindu nationalism.
		Hedgewar proposed the Hindu masses must be united to combat "cultural invasions" and protect the freedom and diversity of Indian Hindu civilization.

		Hindus say the mosque was built on the ruins of a temple marking the birthplace of the god Rama.

	India in the hands of the Hindu nationalists, by Christophe Jaffrelot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The BJP has its roots in the Hindu nationalist movement that emerged in the 1920s, that sought to strengthen the Hindus in the face of the Muslim minority, and this allegiance still remains a constraint to the BJP.
		The Hindu nationalists are guarded about such quotas: they perpetuate caste divisions (which they regard as a source of national weakness) and penalise their supporters.
		But the Hindu nationalists are not as talented as their counterparts in Congress when it comes to bargaining and compromise.

		For Savarkar, however, the Hindu symbols hold no religious significance because his concept of Hindutva is defined as an entirely secular invention of a national identity dependent on classification with a particular, non-Muslim, Indian community.
		The violent text clearly demonstrates the crisis of masculinity in the Hindu community at this time: “martyrs sacrificing their lives for Country, Religion, and Freedom sword in hand, to prove that the blood of Hindusthan that gave birth to Shivaji is not yet dead” (Savarkar 25).

		The nationalists, long feared by India's Muslims and other minorities, won the largest number of seats in an election that ended last week, but were almost immediately deluged with demands for policy changes and ministerial positions from allied groups.
		Despite the setback, the Hindu nationalists remained the favorites to emerge as the eventual government, not least because of the disarray that has so far confounded efforts by the Congress and the United Front to forge a partnership.
		A "national agenda" worked out with the 11 allied groups omitted several key nationalist election pledges, including an undertaking to build a "magnificent" Hindu temple on the site of a 16th-century mosque at the northern city of Ayodhya that was razed by a Hindu nationalist mob in December 1992.

		Lucknow, India, Mar. 22--(AP) Hindu nationalists seeking to build a temple on the site of a demolished 16th century mosque said Friday they would step up their campaign and reach out to thousands of villages.
		Many Hindus believe Rama was born at the site - in the northern town of Ayodhya--and that the mosque was built after the desecration of a temple.
		The council said the next phase of the campaign would involve organizing Hindu ceremonies, chanting religious songs and prayers in tens of thousands of villages, and expanding a fire worship ceremony that began in Ayodhya in February to all parts of the country.

		Today this persecution goes on: there were 400,000 Hindus in 1947 in the valley of Kashmir and barely a few hundred today.
		You also talk about the 'Hindu bomb.' But you should know that it is was Mr Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Benazir's father, who in 1971, after Pakistan lost the second war it initiated against India, realised that they could not win a conventional war against the Indian giant.
