http://www.proxsa.org/politics/hindutva/hindutva.htm Hindutva is a nationalist ideology, based on a modern day version of
centralized intolerant Hinduism. It has nothing to do with a historical
tradition of spiritual practices that we call Hinduism. Such a
centralized and chauvinistic Hinduism - Hindutva - has been brought
to the fore front in today by a group of political organizations called the
"Sangh Parivar " (Sangh Family) - consisting of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteers Association - the mother
organization after which the label Sangh Parivar is coined), the
Bharatiya Janata Party (Indian People Party - Hindutva's
constitutional front that fights elections etc.), the Vishwa Hindu
Parishad (VHP - World Hindu Council - the formations activist front),
the Shiv Sena (the fascist front), the VHP of America (Hindutva's
overseas arm) and the Hindu Students Councils (VHP of America's
student wing).
