The Azad Jammu and Kashmir President Sardar Masood Khan has said that due to political dominance of the BJP-RSS brand of Hindu nationalism, democratic and secular face of India is now dead and buried.

In an interview with an English journal, President Masood said that Hindutva doctrine has posed a serious challenge to the modern global system and a threat to the world peace.

Sardar Masood Khan cautioned that India’s neo-fascism is more dangerous than that of the Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini because of the number of its organized cadre. The current in-office Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) practices the Hindutva ideology, whose custodian and advocate are the world’s biggest paramilitary non-governmental organization – Rashtriya Sawayamsevak Sangh, with an estimated 6 million volunteers as its members.

He asserted that Hindutva was not only directed against the Muslims and other minorities of India but this also serves as a hanging sword for the so-called low caste Hindu communities.
