Fundamentalism - Hindu

Hindu

Hinduism is a conglomeration of distinct intellectual or philosophical points of view, rather than a rigid common set of beliefs, thus the basic definition of fundamentalism cannot apply to Hinduism considering that it does not contain any fundamental thoughts to abide to.

The allegations such as "A recent phenomenon in India has been the rise of Hindu fundamentalism that has led to political mobilization against Muslims. After eight years of agitation, Hindu fundamentalists destroyed the 450-year-old Babri Mosque in December 1992. The Shiv Sena is a political party founded in 1966 originally to express Hindu fundamentalism. It is allied with the nationalistic Bharatiya Janata Party." are considered mere speculation and are thought to be aimed at disrupting Hindu nationalist groups such as the Shiv Sena, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and others.
