ABSTRACT
The nationalism in India emerged with the national movement as an urge of political independence, but it is not necessarily a derivative of nationalism. In this post-independence period, the concept took a drastic change from politico-cultural nationalism to particularistic nationalism of many groups and now essentially religious nationalism. The present blend of nationalism is interpreted as Hindu nationalism. It evolved from nationhood to nationalism. In this open world, Indian nationalism has been unrolled with a Hindu dominating policy due to which religion in India got politicized. The surge of religion is too high in India has become an important political agenda. It has shuttered the participation of the religious minority from the mainstream of politics. This paper is an endeavour to present this new discourse of Indian nationalism which emerged at the backdrop of Hinduism.
