<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In the nationalistic genesis of these kinds of reinvented traditions one can see parallels with the Hindutva movement: it's "repressed history", its high priests, the Brahmins; its allegedly super ancient indigenous origins; its motif of maintaining "racial purity" (Muslims get out), etc.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Seems like she doesn't know the first thing about Hindus/Hindutva/Hinduism, no one in the first place considers Hindus as a race (if anyone does they need to get their head checked), next no one wants to maintain racial purity here, if the Muslims (even the ones who claim foreign descent) want they can all become Hindus and intermarry with Hindus, this is the polar opposite of maintaining racial purity, the reason we want Muslims to get out is because they are not supposed to be there in the first place after partition not to maintain racial purity and as for Brahmins being high priests, most of the popular leaders are not Brahmins but so called lower castes (such as Uma Bharati, Modi and so on), most of the Sangh Parivar cadre come from these groups, she exposes her ignorance when she speaks about the racial purity nonsense because she has never even cared to read even elementary things about Hindutva before passing off as an expert, this is what Savarkar (person who coined the word Hindutva and wrote a book by that title) had to say (Savarkar like Tilak misguidedly accepted the AIT):
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->"After all there is throughout this world so far as man is concerned but a single race -- the human race, kept alive by one common blood, the human blood. All other talk is at best provisional, a makeshift and only relatively true. Nature is constantly trying to overthrow the artificial barriers you raise between race and race. To try to prevent the commingling of blood is to build on sand. Sexual attraction has proved more powerful than all the commands of all the prophets put together. Even as it is, not even the aborigines of the Andamans are without some sprinkling of the so-called Aryan blood in their veins and vice-versa. Truly speaking all that one can claim is that one has the blood of all mankind in one's veins. The fundamental unity of man from pole to pole is true, all else only relatively so." (Hindutva, p.90)

She seems to have not read the book Hindutva itself before passing herself as an expert and spewing nonsense, this is like someone who has not read Das Kapital or any of the other works of influential Communist mass murderers (such as Stalin, Pol Pot etc) passing themselves off as experts on Communism.
