🇮🇳🇮🇱From Savarkar to Golwalkar, why Hindutva admires Zionism | The Indian Express
Affinities between #Hindu nationalism and #Zionism are rooted in the long history of #Hindutva’s admiration of #Zionist ethno-nationalism, possibly because both have found a common enemy in their country’s largest religious minority.
Hindu nationalists held a fascination with #Jews and Zionism from day one as V D Savarkar expressed deep sympathy for a more comprehensive understanding of the Jewish race and underlined its appropriateness for the Hindutva ideology.
He was not only inspired by #Zionism and praised illegal colonial settlement but strongly believed that Hindus and Jews shared a history of oppression at the hands of Muslims and both deserved redress.
