The debate on why and how India is declared a Hindu state is not new. Now 26 years down the road, it seems the time to declare India a Hindu state has come. Modi’s agenda of transforming India as a Hindu state is based on a four-point plan. The BJP and its Hindu communal offshoots are very clear that India should be a Hindu state as the country has an overwhelming majority of people following that religion. A Hindu state ruled by fanatic Hindu leaders will not only destabilise India but will unleash the process of disintegration of that country on communal grounds.
