Abstract

Since Narendra Modi entered office and became India's prime minister, atrocities against minorities have increased, and the concept of 'Hindutva' has emerged as a frightening danger to the country's minorities.  This research paper will examine the evolution of Hindutva ideology which took place in Indian society and will take into account the recent government of Narendra Modi as a supporter of Hindutva. It will make use of qualitative content analysis to evaluate the reason behind inter-religious conflicts. This study will also examine how Hindutva is associated with Hinduism and has antagonistic behavior towards other minorities especially Muslims in India. In addition to that this research will also focus upon the implications of adopting Hindutva policies upon Muslims, using the lens of social constructivism.

Keywords: Hindutva, Qualitative Content Analysis, Indian Muslim Minorities, Social Constructivism.
