Nationalism can mean different things to different people and countries. It can be bad in former colonial powers and good in former colonies.
And the BJP today under Modi is considered a "Hindu nationalist" after 70 years of Independence.
This is in sharp contrast to Pakistan which started killing millions of Hindus & Sikhs, and has more or less completely wiped out their non-muslim population. This ethnic cleansing started even before they were created as a country.
So perhaps the "Hindus" should have a say in the only country meant for them.
Pardon me for saying this but Christian and Islamic values have been enforced on much of the world, which includes India much of whose laws and education are Christian/Leftist leaning.
As for those who are not aware, "Hindu" (of India) is the catch all phrase for anyone who did not fit into the other major faiths. And the "Hindus" themselves mostly consider anyone who are not openly inimical to their pluralistic practices as being in the fold.
