The new political Hindu order being established by BJP-RSS is a continuum of some sort of reform in Hindu society. Caste and hierarchy remain, but no overt exclusion is practised.
Ram temple has transformed India in its entirety. From party politics to cultural warfare, India or Bharat is undeniably Hindu today. Pluralism is just a colourful backdrop.
Hindutva needs several signposts and intermediate goalposts before we start believing that our Hindu identity is more important than the interests of our immediate social group.
Speaking at annual Vijayadashami event, RSS chief says Sangh organises Hindu society to protect 'dharma, sanskriti and samaj'. He also emphasises goal of 'Akhand Bharat'.
Street gangs are building a Hindu nationalist state with low-grade, everyday terrorism. Earlier phases of communal violence at least didn't undermine the authority of institutions.
The nationalism promoted by BJP-RSS, and mimicked by AAP, is the opposite of Indian nationalism. This version has no interest in healing wounds that affect national unity.
Author-politicians Shashi Tharoor, Pavan K Varma and now Salman Khurshid are taking refuge in this Hinduism-Hindutva debate. But Modi used ‘Hindutva’ just once since 2014.

Well written article; however remark that Savarkar was supporter of varna system and Manusmruti seems your own extrapolation. In my opinion, based on Savarkar’s writings, he dismissed ALL scriptures if those are not useful in present world.
I don’t understand why you are attacking the author personally like this? Where in this article has he said anything against Brahmins? Please don’t be so thin skinned. That all Hindus should be considered equal should not be so difficult for any reasonable person to accept in the 21st century.
Can’t expect anything better from the author ( ! ) having slave mentality. Your type of people prefered to remain slaves of muslims and brits . You deserve that ! Bramhins have always worked and spend their lifetime for betterment of our Bharat for thousands of years. Unlike you people who prefered to work for muslim and brit invaders. Shame on You.
