![]() ![]() The apartheid ideals of Brahmanical Hindu caste order are not compatible with constitutional democracy in India. Every control mechanism of Hindutva is essential to normalise all forms of exploitations and naturalise inequalities in India. Hindutva is a distinctive political project of higher caste Hindus to ensure social, political, cultural and economic control of the masses in India. The Hindutva project is an assault on reason, science and society in India. The Hindutva forces have turned mythology into history and deception into an art, diverting people’s focus from the objective reality of their everyday life and material conditions of mass suffering. This has weakened the emancipatory politics of Dalit and lower caste politics. Hindutva politics is reactionary identity politics of higher caste Hindus, designed to destroy the unity of the working classes by using the so-called lower castes in their political project. The success of RSS and BJP over last three decades is based on slow-poisoning the minds of the higher caste Hindus through deceptive propaganda. The Hindutva blueprint is to declare India as a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ (Hindu nation) by diminishing citizenship rights of religious minorities, most prominently Muslims, and the so-called lower castes. The political opposition is withering away everyday with the help of media, police, investigative agencies and judiciary. The Hindutva forces shaped by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and politically led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are accelerating this crisis to undo liberal constitutional democracy in India. India is facing its worst crisis in its history.
