Whether you love it or hate it, the real reason many progressive, English-speaking elites feel a deep, almost physical discomfort with Hindutva is not because it is “fascist” or “majoritarian”.
The discomfort comes from something far more threatening to their worldview: Hindutva is ideologically casteless. It declares that a Brahmin from Kerala, a Dalit from Uttar Pradesh, a Patel from Gujarat, and an Adivasi from Jharkhand are all simply Hindus; equal children of the same civilizational mother, united by territory, culture, and history rather than divided by varna or birth.
Savarkar made this explicit a century ago: Hindu identity is not about caste hierarchy but about who shares this land and its sacred geography. In one stroke, Hindutva removes caste from the centre of Indian identity and places Hindu unity there instead. For those whose entire moral and intellectual universe is built on caste as India’s original and eternal fault-line, this is nothing short of existential sabotage.
Calling Hindutva “Brahminical” is the last ideological defence mechanism when the ground beneath the caste-first worldview begins to crack.

Did Brahmins––a caste that makes up 3% of India today––TRICK the other 97% of Indians into worshipping them across 4000 years & 1.7 million square miles? Here's where that malicious & frankly insulting lie comes from: Enter JATITVA 👇🏾
