Islamabad: From parliament to pavement, Hindutva drives India’s state machinery, shielding extremists, silencing minorities, and exporting hate beyond its borders.

According to a report by Kashmir Media Service, with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) pulling the strings, India’s institutions have become enablers of impunity where violence walks free and justice is gagged.

Hindutva, rooted in Vinayak Damodar Savarkar’s 1923 vision, now thrives under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, blending race, religion, and language to marginalize minorities and redefine Indian identity.

Modi’s rise to power has turned Hindutva into a state doctrine, employing anti-Muslim rhetoric, welfare politics, and historical grievances to cement Hindu majoritarian dominance.

RSS-driven policies and pro-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) media outlets glorify Modi while vilifying minorities, turning Hindu nationalism into India’s unofficial creed and suppressing dissent.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the revocation of Article 370 exemplify how state power enforces Hindutva, disproportionately affecting Muslims and dismantling secular constitutional protections.

From lynch mobs to biased courts, Hindutva groups reportedly operate with impunity, aided by law enforcement and emboldened by government silence and support.

Hindutva’s journey from a colonial reaction to political dominance has been enabled by a weakened opposition, Islamophobia, and strategic use of populism and welfare narratives.

Educational reforms under Modi have allegedly erased minority contributions and glorified Hindu supremacy, turning culture, history, and classrooms into battlegrounds for ideological control.
