1. The word "Hindutva" was already used by Panchanan Tarakaratna in 1840.
The word "Nazi" was not used for any political ideology until 1920
How could Nazis influence Hindutva?By travelling back in time?These are plain lies of anti HIndu Neo-Colonialists
2. What is Hindutva?
"Any person who adopts India as his or her country, and comes to love India as Fatherland, considers our country as Punyabhu is said to be essentially possessing Hindutva"- Savarkar (Hindutva p.130)
The below definition of Hindutva is given only by enemies
3. I challenge @audreytruschke to quote Savarkar or any founding Hindutva ideologue who says "India is a country for the Hindus, by the Hindus".
Where did she get this definition? Misrepresenting ideological position and fabricating fake quotes is not "scholarly" by any stretch
4. "Our main plank is Veer Savarkar's message which he preached at Calcutta session: 'Equal rights for all citizens and protection of culture and religion of every minority"-Official statement of Savarkar's party in 1940s
"Mob fueled violence" was never a definition of Hindtuva
5. The intention of the thread is smearing Hindutva(which is nothing but Hindu assertion) by connecting it with Nazism.Because Hitler committed one of the biggest genocides of 20th century,it is the easiest way to smear a community
Were early Hindutva leaders Nazis? Let us see
6.
"In the conflict of ideologies, the Hindus have made their position perfectly clear. We hate Nazism and Fascism. We are enemies of Hitler and Mussolini"
-Hindu Mahasabha Bengal President,Savarkar's deputy's official statement in March 1942
Truth shines its way through lies
7. Claims that early Hindutva leaders were Nazis would have been ridiculous, had they not been so dangerous and xenophobic against Hindu-Americans
It was Savarkar who urged thousands of Indians,Hindus and Hindutva activists to join British armed forces in their war against Nazis
8.Calling Hindus Nazis is pot calling kettle black.This is to hide the fact that Nazism itself originated in Christian socialism. It was to commemorate the birthday of the the father of protestant Christianity that Nazis killed Jews and burnt synagogues

9. Anybody who accuses Hindus and Hindutva of Nazism is ignorant, characterless dishonest and deliberately lying
Thousands of Hindus died in the world war camapaigns fighting Nazis and Fascists. Remarkable, Hindus did not have any stake fighting for their own colonial oppressor
10. Hindu Mahasabha President and Savarkar's deputy lauded Hindu war efforts in his statement in 1943
" Hindu boys had rushed forward and joined up in thousands. The African Campaign will put the Indian in the forefront of the noble heroes who decimated the Fascist [hordes]"
11.Calling Hindus Nazis is an old white colonial tactic.The British called even Gandhi a Nazi Sympathizer. Whenever Hindus asked for Independence, the British maligned Hindus by labelling them Nazis.
Now if a Hindu runs for president, colonialists resort to same propaganda
12. There is nothing special about @audreytruschke's thread. This is the same colonial propaganda carried out since 70 years. One must read @Koenraad_Elst 's book "Saffron Swastika" where he elaborates on the topic.
