Hindutva is a far-right, reactionary Hindu nationalist ideology, that was inspired by European fascism, and seeks to establish Hindu hegemony within India. However, they often justify themselves as protectors of other “Indian” religions such as Jainism, Buddhism, Sikhism etc. Adherents of Hindutva have advocated and committed violence against Muslims, Christians, Dalits and lower-class Hindus. Hindutva organisations include the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The BJP won the Parliamentary majority in India in 2014, and has been the ruling party of India since then.
