==Foundations and Beliefs==
Hindutva is a [[File:Reactcross.png]] [[Reactionaryism|reactionary]] and [[File:Ultranat.png]] [[Ultranationalism|ultranationalist]] Indian ideology that was formulated in the early 20th century. Hindutva, as an ideology, was developed by [[File:Savarkar.png]] [[Ultranationalism|Vinayak Damodar Savarkar]], a Indian politician and activist. Savarkar was influenced by [[File:Classfash.png]] [[Fascism|Italian fascism]] and many other European fascist movements.
===Nationalism===
The Hindutva movement is based opon an extreme form of [[File:HinduNat.png]] [[Religious Nationalism|Hindu nationalism.]] Hindutva activists believe that [[File:Cball-India.png]] India is a fundamentally Hindu nation, and for that reason, India must try to secure Hindu interests and put Hindus on a higher standard than others. Hindutva theorists also believe in a [[File:UltraCultNat.png]] militant form of [[File:Cultural_Nationalism.png]] [[Cultural Nationalism|Cultural Nationalism,]] as they invoke the concept of Hindu culture, values, traditions, and heritage being threatened by an enemy force that looks to erase them. Most Hindutva theorists believe in [[File:Ethnonat.png]] [[Ethnonationalism|Hindu superiority]] over other ethnic groups.
===Economics===
Despite Hindutva having no fixed economic system, most Hindutva theorists, such as Modi, believe in a [[File:Econlib.png]] [[Fiscal Conservatism|economic liberalization,]] holding strict [[File:Anticommunism.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Communism|anti-communist}} and [[File:Antisoc.png]] {{PCBA|Anti-Socialism|anti-socialist}} views. Hindutva theorists believe in decentralizing and reforming the Indian economy in order to eliminate the left-wing economic model. Hindutva activists commonly call for [[File:Indust.png]] [[Industrialism|industrialization]] and economic development.
===Tradition===
Hindutva is a [[File:Reactcross.png]] [[Reactionaryism|reactionary]] ideology, as it puts a heavy emphasis of preserving and restoring [[File:Trad.png]] [[Traditionalism|Hindu traditional values.]]
===Irredentism===
Hindutva is a [[File:Irridentism.png]] [[Irredentism|irredentist]] ideology that calls for India to [[File:Imp.png]] [[Imperialism|launch a campaign of expansion]] in order to establish "Akhand Bharat" ("Undivided India), a territorial concept that, if it were to be established, it would require India to invade countries such as [[File:Cball-Pakistan.png]] Pakistan, [[File:Cball-Bhutan.png]] Bhutan, [[File:Cball-Myanmar.png]] Myanmar, [[File:Cball-Nepal.png]] Nepal, and the [[File:Cball-Maldives.png]] Maldives. Hindutva activists justify these hypothetical campaigns of expansion by claiming that [[File:Jingoism.png]] [[Jingoism|they are necessary in order to secure the national pride of Hindus.]]
