Congress Party does not like Hindu Nationalists
There is a reason why the very party
which invented the term ‘Hindu Terrorists’ to appease a group gets combative
when it hears the term ‘Hindu Nationalists’. If you identify yourself with your
Caste, the party will love it; if you identify yourself with any other religion
than Hinduism, our PM will say, “you have first right to get direct cash
transfer”; but if you say you are a Hindu, that upsets everything! They don’t
need Hindus to know they are Hindus! Easy guess that if Hindus unite without
getting divided on the basis of castes; that would be the end of Corruption
Raaj in India.
For Cong party, a Hindu Nationalist
means one who will never vote for it (in the present tense) and hence the
dislike. From what I have read Swami Vivekananda is said to be one of the first
proponents of Hindu Nationalism (at least in modern era). Hindu Nationalism is
centered around the “nation” and nation building and its welfare are its
supreme goals. But for some others, a dynasty or some foreign nation's welfare
is ultimate goal. E.g. Communists used to take orders from Russia and hence
India is not their central interest; so they are not Nationalists; Hindu or
otherwise.
