Sanatan Dharma: An Ideology or the Entire Hindu Community?

Even V.D. Savarkar, the most influential ideologue of Hindutva, hardly conflated ‘sanatan dharma’ with the entire Hindu community, unlike the BJP's position on the current controversy over the term.

Explaining the Hindu divide at the Parliament of the World’s Religions

It shouldn’t be hard to see why fusing of religious and national identity causes anxiety and fear.

Hindutva Profiles: Vikram Sampat

Sampat is considered by the Hindu far-right as someone who is putting forth an accurate ‘indic version’ of India’s past. Sampat is invited to platforms that eulogize Hindu supremacy and propagate the idea of exclusive Hindu polity (Hindu Rashtra), like The Sangam Talks, The Jaipur Dialogues, and others.

Nikhil Siddhartha, a small-time Telugu actor, has earned the tag of a ‘pan-India’ star mainly by indulging Hindutva sentiments. But does this signal a larger political, ideological shift for Telugu cinema?

In my view the #rise of the #Hindu #right can be summarized in these phases:
1. #Savarkar: the ideologue
2. #Golwalkar: the survivor
3. #Vajpayee and #Advani: the builders
4. #Modi and #Shah: the conquerors

Savarkar praised and called himself ‘Veer’ in biography penned by himself

Even in Maharashtra Savarkar has been a controversial personality with even the grandfather of Uddhav Thackeray accusing Savarkar of promoting falsehood and Brahminism.
