Hindu Nationalism is a political ideology in India that emphasizes the promotion of Hindu culture and values as central to the identity of the nation. It seeks to establish Hindu principles in governance and society, often advocating for the idea that India should be primarily a Hindu nation, reflecting the beliefs and traditions of the majority population. This movement is often associated with organizations like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Proponents argue that it fosters national unity and pride, while critics claim it can marginalize non-Hindu communities and undermine India's secular framework.
