The Supreme Court dismissed a petition equating Hindutva with fundamentalism, reiterating its stance that Hindutva is a way of life. This was the third challenge in SC to “Hindutva” since 1994 when the apex court, in Ismail Faruqi judgment, said, “Ordinarily, Hindutva is understood as a way of life or state of mind and it is not to be equated with, or understood as religious Hindu fundamentalism.”
