The Hindu Revolution (Hindi: Hindu Kranti or Dharma Kranti) is a term in Hindu nationalism referring to an ongoing "revolutionary movement" aiming to overthrow the pseudo-secular Republic of India and replace it with a Hindu State (Hindu Rajya or Rashtra). In particular, the movement is directed at what is perceived as hostile penetration of Hindu society by both Islam and Western cultural and religious neo-imperialism and neo-colonialism.

Famous quotes containing the word revolution:
“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
—Donald M. Lowe, U.S. historian, educator. History of Bourgeois Perception, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1982)
