> this isn't even remotely "nationalist"
Yep, I'm with you, I agree that the underlying power plays are fully harmonious with global (and globalist) trends.
With "nationalist" I was referring to the BJP's "hindutva" ideology, which is essentially a nation-centric ideology of "India for Hindus" (minorities and non-upper-caste/non-brahmanic forms of Hinduism be damned).
An ugly truth, one that must never be spoken too loudly, is that most of the people designated "lower castes" by the "upper caste" Hindus, and others designated "tribals" (adivasis), follow a variety of ancient pagan personal "religions" (belief systems) that are "Hindu" in name only. They don't actually consider themselves "Brahminical Hindus", and are forced to identify (by the "Brahminical Hindus") as Hindu because that's the only choice available to them, in census forms, etc.
The last para of your comment is inflammatory, biased, agenda driven and totally irrelevant to the topic under discussion.
I note that you are posting under an anonymous id.
