Hindutva = Hinduism that resists bigotry, hatred and attacks on Hindus and Hinduism

Hindutva is a word weaponized by bigots to attack Hinduism while concealing their hatred for Hindus.

In other words, you can claim to be woke and say you"support" Hindus while hating/slandering Hinduism simultaneously (bigots having their cake and eating it too).
Hinduism: Oh, did my back hurt your knife?
Hindutva: I'm not gonna roll over and die in my country this time, just like what happened to Kashmiri Hindus

Hindutva is the Sanskrit term for Hinduism/Hinduness. Mostly used to refer the Hindu revolution which begins from the Heartland of Dharma. The primary goal of Hindutva is to make Hindus realize their true potential and make them mankind's greatest humans by following the path of Dharma wholeheartedly. In short, Hindutva means humanity.

Hindutva, a political ideology, is the predominant form of Hindu nationalism in India. It is championed by the Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and other organisations, collectively called the Sangh Parivar. The Hindutva movement has been described by scholars as a variant of "right-wing extremism" and as "fascist in the classical sense", adhering to a disputed concept of homogenised majority and cultural hegemony.
Person 1: The Hindutva movement is on a rise in India, it is quite troubling.
Person 2: Yeah but I have faith in the people.
