Abstract :

Hindutva, an ideology of Hindu nationalism, has precipitated violent hatreds between the Hindus and Muslims of India, as was evidenced in the recent rioting in the State of Gujarat, which was never seen before in history. The factors which led to the emergence of Hindutva are reviewed and the emptiness of the ideology exposed. It is imperative to critique Hindutva's communalist approach and make concrete efforts to discreditit. This paper attempts to find out the historical roots of Hindu Nationalism and to sketch a way forward to restore the democratic values as per the Constitution of India.
