Hindutva is a culturally far-right, highly authoritarian ideology, without any fixed economy (although generally a Market Economy with a heavy emphasis on collective Welfare). It believes that India is fundamentally a Hindu nation, and the sociopolitical principles and base tenets should be similar to those taught by the religious texts of ancient Hinduism. It also claims that the Hindus need to wage war against "internal threats" to protect their Dharma to be protected by it, hence is found often aligned and agreeing with Reactionarism.
Foundations and Beliefs
It wants to forcibly transform India into a Hindu Rashtra (Dharmic Nation). Hindutva often employs a distinctly militant form of Cultural Nationalism where it seeks to construct a culturally homogenous state based upon the sacred traditions and national culture of Hinduism. Hindutva, many times is inclusive of other religions which originated in India (like Sikhism and Buddhism) as being apart of the greater Pan-Hindu Identity.
Notable Hindutva Movements/Political Parties
Akhand Bharat Movement
A portion of Hindutva believes in the Akhand Bharat Movement, which is an Irridentist sub-section that wants to create a state that unites all the territories that once upon a time belonged to the practitioners of Hinduism; into a unified nation under the principles and culture of Hinduism.
Bharatiya Janata Party
Philosophy
The official philosophy of the BJP is "Integral humanism," a philosophy first formulated by Deendayal Upadhyaya in 1965, who described it as advocating an "indigenous economic model that puts the human being at center stage, apart from being committed to Hindutva. The BJP's Hindutva ideology has been reflected in many of its government policies. It supports the construction of the Ram Temple at the disputed site of the Babri Mosque.
Education
The education policy of the BJP-led government reorganised the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and tasked it with extensively revising the textbooks used in Indian schools. Various scholars have stated that this revision, especially in the case of history textbooks, was a covert attempt to "saffronise" Indian history. The NDA government introduced Vedic astrology as a subject in college curricula, despite opposition from several leading scientists.
Secularism
Taking a position against what it calls the "pseudo-secularism" of the Congress party, the BJP instead supports "positive secularism" Vajpayee laid out the BJP's interpretation of Mahatma Gandhi's doctrine of Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava and contrasted it with what he called European secularism. He had said that Indian secularism attempted to see all religions with equal respect, while European secularism was independent of religion, thus making the former more "positive". The BJP supports a uniform civil code, which would apply a common set of personal laws to every citizen regardless of their personal religion, replacing the existing laws which vary by religious community. Historian Yogendra Malik claims this ignores the differential procedures required to protect the cultural identity of the Musl*m minority.
