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.

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

History in the Service of Hindutva

Srinath Raghavan reviews Vinayak Chaturvedi's 'Hindutva and Violence: V.D. Savarkar and the Politics of History'.

For Savarkar, history was a critical tool in a war to protect the Hindu nation. A new book examines the relationship between history and politics in Savarkar's thought and braids together the past and the present.
