1. "Hindutva ideology or Hindu Nationalism is ... rooted in fascism"
2. "Hindutva, the political philosophy of Hindu majoritarianism, is distinct from the religious practices of Hinduism"
3. "[Hinduphobia is] a distraction “in the west to silence critiques of casteism, Islamophobia, sexism, anti-Semitism, racism, and other forms of supremacist ideologies at the heart of Hindutva.”"
4. "the rise in power of Hindutva-aligned groups has led to a crackdown on all forms of democratic dissent and the intimidation and imprisonment of academics, journalists, human rights groups and activists"
