Abstract
The Hindutva ideology is taking a toll on all walks of national life in India. The current resurging of Hindutva-based socio[1]political discrimination has its roots in the historic RSS doctrine, which has adversely impacted the Nehruvian concept of secular India, turning it into a collage of ghettos of innumerable communities and faiths of people living in world’s largest democracy. This study examines how the rise of Hindutva-based political exigency has affected Indian nationhood and torn its social and communal fabric.
