Here's the definition of Hindutva according to the Supreme Court, if anyone's curious
“Hindutva is understood as a way of life of state of mind and is not to be equated with or understood as religious Hindu fundamentalism…it is a fallacy and error of law to proceed on the assumption…that the use of words Hindutva or Hinduism per se depicts an attitude hostile to all persons practicing any religion other than the Hindu religion.”

- Utkarsh_Mood 3y agoAll the same, imo it's imperative people know what the actual definition is rather than misconstruing it for something else
- JumpCrisscross 3y ago> it's imperative people know what the actual definition This reminds me of the hacker/cracker and crypto qua -currency/-tography debates. Or, more pointedly, the Daughters of the Confederacy. Legal definitions aren’t “actual definitions.” Nobody likes a term they’ve adopted to be coöpted. But it happens, and it’s happened with hindutva in English.
