But this time, it looks like the page is gone for good. Savarkar, who defined it in his book Hindutva: Who is Hindu, published in 1925. But following a strong show of strength and support from fans and followers, the page was back up. The term Hindutva is a far-right-wing ideology and it was first used by V.D. Trolls would often get nasty in the comments section of some of the page’s wittiest posts.Įarlier in September, HoH had temporarily shut down as the administrator feared for his life in wake of journalist Gauri Lankesh’s murder. The page has been in the eye of the storm for making fun of right wing political leaders, spiritual gurus, the saffron brand of science and even the prime minister. Congratulations to Hindutva on winning this David vs Goliath fight.”

I have deleted the HOH page and will delete this website soon. I hope those who threatened me consider this as a victory and leave us alone. I have no desire to end up like Gauri Lankesh or Afrazul Khan. I am outnumbered, I live in a BJP state and come from a middle-class family with no political or police connections. I have recently received some threats to my life which I can’t take lightly. The page administrator, who has always remained anonymous, posted the following parting message on his website : To address this theoretical and empirical Eurocentrism, this article presents the rst in-depth analysis of Hindutva using the terminology of right-wing extremism. Humans of Hindutva, a satirical Facebook page that lampooned extreme right wing groups for their ridiculous interpretation of religion and culture, has been shut down. There is currently a right-wing extremist party governing the world’s largest democracy, yet it is remarkably absent in the literature on right-wing extremism.
