In his latest report, Hemant Yadav dives deep into a crucial and unsettling question — What place will OBCs, SCs, STs, and Muslims have in a so-called “Hindu Rashtra”? As the narrative of a Hindu nation grows louder in political and religious circles, the idea itself raises uncomfortable questions about equality, identity, and democracy.
 
The report explores how voices like Sadhvi Pragya and Bageshwar Dham’s Dhirendra Shastri have been continuously spreading anti-Muslim rhetoric, framing India’s largest minority as the “other.” But Hemant goes beyond just the hate speech — he examines how this ideology could also marginalize large sections of Hindus themselves, including OBCs, Dalits, and Adivasis, who have long struggled for social justice and representation.
 
Through ground reports, expert opinions, and historical context, Hemant dissects the contradictions within the Hindu Rashtra idea — an ideology that claims to unite Hindus, yet thrives on social hierarchy and exclusion. What will happen to those who do not fit the upper-caste definition of “Hindu”? And what about the constitutional promise of secularism that forms the backbone of modern India?
