Time to Militarise Hindus, Hinduise the Nation!
How the advent of Hindutva Supremacism has accelerated arming of
Hindus for sectarian violence

Introduction
Like every exclucivist
ideology/organisation/formation which claims to be centered around a particular
religion - may it be Islamism, Zionism, fanatic Buddhism - Hindutva has always
entertained a dream of preparing/arming its followers to fight the 'others' and
slowly albeit not so silently moving closer to usher into its dreamland of
Hindu Rashtra. Its ideologues/leaders have been candid enough to point out to
the faithfuls the 'internal enemies'' and ways to deal with them or exterminate
them. All these preparations dotted by regular drills, games and other militant
exercises serves as a counter to the the much publicised notion by the same
people that 'Hindus are Cowards' 1 or
"Islam was spread through the sword" which has been an item of belief
for the Hindutva fundamentalists.
