Hindu nationalism
From RationalWiki
Hindu nationalism is (as Ed Poor would put it) a nationalistic political belief found among some Hindus.
Part of the beliefs that distinguish it from of other forms of nationalism include:
- Irrational hatred towards Muslims and India's minority Christians[citation needed]
- A fear that Muslims and Indian Christians want to destroy India[citation needed]
- A belief that Pakistan and Bangladesh are parts of India[citation needed]
[edit] Actions by Hindu nationalists
Babri Mosque was a historic monument in India which was destroyed by Hindus due to religious bigotry.[citation needed] Hindu nationalists claim that Babur's commander-in-chief Mir Baki destroyed an existing Hindu temple at the site.[citation needed] The Babri Mosque was one of the largest mosques in the state Uttar Pradesh, where 31 million Muslims lived.
