The Hindutva movement in India is a political insurgency. It is not a conservative takeover. This is why the proponents of this idea behave like insurgents – the preposterous rhetorical flourish in their writings, the historical illiteracy of their beliefs and their fascination with deceit and violence.

If there was indeed a single thread of dignified conservatism in their tribe, we would have felt the currents of a cultural movement. We don't. The Hindutva movement does not have an intellectual basis. They count Anand Ranganathan, Vivek Agnihotri and Tarek Fatah — a second-rate scientist, a third-rate director and a pumpkin — as the fountainheads of their struggle. Twitter, with its openness to spontaneous stupidity, is their only medium.

They do not have in them to spark a 'Hindu renaissance'. Hindu heritage is lost on them. It does not help that the formidable figures of our contemporary culture hate them –TM Krishna hates them, Girish Karnad hated them, and so did Kiran Nagarkar and MF Husain.

The conservative movement in the US and the UK had publications like The National Review and The Spectator. We have Swarajya and OpIndia.
