Periodic reminder —
There are US-based Hindutva proponents that are attacking and smearing scholars, conferences, and even students.
They do not represent Hindu Americans as a group. They’re using this broad-based, diverse community as a smokescreen to promote hate. #Hindutva

We see this, by the way, with other groups also. In the US context, Christian nationalists have done something similar, advocating extreme political views under the guise of religion.
(Oh, the irony of Hindu supremacists borrowing a playbook from a group they rail against).

Birds of a feather flock together.
Hindu supremacists are closest too, not most Hindus, but rather advocates of other supremacist ideologies. They overlap in tone and methods; in some cases, we know of alliances.
Hindutva’s bedfellows are terrifying.

Given all of this, how do Hindutva proponents treat Hindus?
Horribly. Hindu supremacists are relentless in their assaults on Hindus who say “not in my name,” sort of like how racist groups and individuals went after white allies of the civil rights movement in the US.
