Hindu nationalists pin their partisan acts favouring the majority community on the ‘decolonisation of ideas and culture’ hook. Sinha states in his article that the Hindu Temple in Abu Dhabi has the potential to redefine multiculturalism. The BJP CM of UP Yogi Adityanath asked the Muslim community to surrender the Gyanvapi Mosque in Varanasi and Idgah Mosque in Mathura to the Hindu community. The colonisation referred to by the Hindu nationalists did not begin with the British imperialism. The pre-2014 history, according to the Hindu nationalists, was history of ongoing war between the two communities.
