Hindu nationalism, or Hindutva, is a political ideology that advocates for the alignment of Indian culture and governance with Hindu values and identity. As a central pillar of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the political platform of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the movement emphasizes the promotion of Hindu heritage within the nation’s secular framework. Recent political developments, including the 2024 general elections, have highlighted the ongoing influence of this ideology as the BJP navigates a shifting parliamentary landscape, balancing its nationalist agenda with the complexities of coalition governance and a strengthened political opposition.
