| | Nationalism - definition of Nationalism in Encyclopedia |
 | | Religious nationalism is the form of nationalism in which the state derives political legitimacy as a consequence of shared religion. | | | Nationalism may manifest itself as part of official state ideology or as a popular (non-state) movement and may be expressed along civic, ethnic, cultural, religious or ideological lines. | | | All forms of nationalism rely on the population being a nation; that is, that all the members of the population believe that they share some kind of common culture, and culture can't be wholly separated from ethnicity. |

| | Hindu nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Hindu nationalism is the political and cultural expression, histriographical and political theories of Indian nationalism distinctive to Hindu society in India, which asserts being Hindu as not merely a religious identity, but a national identity. | | | This article endeavors to explore the roots of religious nationalism in the history of India and Hinduism, the political and cultural expression of nationalism of the mainstream Hindu population, as well as fundamentalism and the contemporary revival of Hinduism. | | | The Vishwa Hindu Parishad was organized in 1967 by Hindu religious leaders and RSS members to focus exclusively on reviving the Hindu religion, religious tradition and expanding community unity. |

| | This book looks at national and other identities, the ethnic basis of national identities, the rise of nations, nationalism and cultural identity, as well as discussing separatism and multi-nationalism. | | | Instead, Bowman argues that nationalism is "often constituted within political discourses which link passion and rationality in a manner which modernism - with its image of humankind as intellectively rational - is incapable of explaining or undermining." | | | The author offers a take on why so many people in the post-Cold War world are defining themselves in ethnic and religious terms. |

| | World-nationalism: normative globalism as pan-nationalism. |
| | In fact, most of the world's population are committed both to their own national and/or ethnic identity, and to some form of religious and/or humanist idea of a universal moral community: only a small minority reject both of these. | | | Its current version (obviously different from the universalism of ancient theocracies) belongs firmly in the political tradition of nationalism. | | | In this sense, it would share the coercive aspects of nationalism. |

| | Nationalism - A Political Religion |
| | The nationalism of today swears only by the state and brands its own fellowfolk as traitors to their country if they resist the political aims of the national dictatorship or even merely refuse to endorse its plans. | | | Here is the distinction between the nationalism of a past age, which found its representatives in men like Mazzini and Garibaldi, and the definitely counterrevolutionary tendencies of modern fascism which today raises its head ever more threateningly. | | | Modern nationalism is wholly lacking in such love, and though its representatives utter the word ever so frequently one always perceives its false ring and realises that there is no genuine feeling in it. |

| | Hindutva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Muslims are also funded for the Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca and subsidies for their religious schools Madrasa, while Hindutva followers claim Hindus are accorded no similar privilege for their own pilgrimages or religious schools by the Government of India and are made to pay for subsidies to Muslims pilgrimages and religious education. | | | Hence it typically means that Hindus are those whose religion is indigenous to India. | | | The Indian subcontinent (which includes the area south of the Himalaya and the Hindu Kush, usually Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and sometimes Afghanistan) or Akhand Bharat is the homeland of the Hindus. |

| | Hindu nationalism and secularism in Indian politics - On Line Opinion - 17/6/2004 |
| | While the Hindu secularists of the Congress Party never sought to discover their religious roots or to make demands on non-Hindus, radical Hindu nationalists of the VHP and RSS sought such a national religious identity and to change the practice of Hinduism itself. | | | Hindu nationalism, represented by the BJP, failed to be an election winner despite the fact that 82 per cent of Indians are Hindus. | | | The defeat of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led by former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee in the recent 2004 national elections, and the return to power of the Indian secularist Congress Party led by Sonia Gandhi, does not suggest a major reversal in religious ideology. |

| | Fanaticism doesn’t only exist in religion, but it well thrives in other forms of non-religious ideologies such as nationalism, communism, clannism, etc. For example, the Nazis of Germany and Fascists of Italy were an extreme form of nationalism which showed all characteristics of fanaticism. | | | As a matter of fact, the opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not. | | | In Somalia, fanaticism had never been part of its religious belief nor was cases of religious fanaticism ever documented on Somalis. |

| | Belief, Ethnicity, and Nationalism: Religion and Peacemaking: U.S. Institute of Peace |
| | The affiliation between nationalism and religious "revivalism" of a Sudanese or Sri Lankan kind, or between nationalism and an ideology of cultural superiority of the Han Chinese variety, is, accordingly, not surprising. | | | The implication is that, on balance, liberal nationalism contributes to the conditions of peace by cultivating ethnic and religious respect and harmony. | | | Indeed, it is perhaps correct to suggest that nationalism is best understood as fundamentally ambivalent as between the liberal and the illiberal types, and that the individual "story" of each case of nationalism may best be described as a dynamic response to the countervailing tendencies represented by the two types. |

| | The Saffron Wave: Democracy and Hindu Nationalism in Modern India by Thomas Blom Hansen; Oxford University Press, Delhi |
| | His main argument is that Hindu nationalism has emerged and taken shape neither in the political system as such nor in the religious field but in the broader realm of public space in which a lot of political activity takes place. | | | Hindu nationalism is not anti-western religious fundamentalism as it wants recognition from the western powers. | | | Hindu nationalism emerged due to massive and protracted labour of organisation and ideological promulgation, the existence of certain receptivity and disgruntlement of broad social milieu and the presence of certain strategic conditions of possibilities in the political field. |

| | Jewish Nationalism and Emancipation (1897-1899) |
| | Granted-rand this cannot be too much emphasized-that religious prejudice lies at the root of the hatred of Israel, yet this religious prejudice at the same time implies the existence of the Jewish people upon which for nineteen hundred years have fallen the anathemas of the Church. | | | It would probably have been less violent, and yet even that is not certain; for Judaism would with equal readiness have come into conflict with other religious principles, just as took place in Alexandria and in Rome. | | | When socialists fight nationalism, in fact they are fighting protectionism and national exclusivism; they fight that chauvinistic, narrow, and absurd patriotism which leads peoples to set themselves up against each other as rivals or as enemies determined to grant each other neither reprieve nor mercy. |

| | A Historical Look at Religious Zionism |
| | Zionism as an idea and those who made it a reality, and the state of Israel, its ultimate creation, were and are today, poised before the dilemma of their connection to the Jewish religion, which is the source of Jewish nationalism. | | | In religious Zionism the reaction was especially meaningful: On the one hand there was the vision of the Torah centers and great concentrations of observant Jews in Europe; on the other hand the fulfillment of the yearning for Jewish nationhood. | | | The status of the religious aspect of Jewishness weakened (and since Judaism is a national religion much of the nationalistic connection weakened, as well). |

| | Israel - The Role of Judaism |
| | Orthodox Jews resented the dominantly secular nature of Jewish nationalism (for example, the desire to turn the holy tongue of Hebrew into an instrument of everyday discourse), whereas the Zionists derogated the other-worldly passivity of Orthodox Jews. | | | Because Orthodox Jews, like secularists, were organized in political parties, from an early date they participated--the religious Zionists more directly than the religious non-Zionists-- in the central institutions of the Yishuv and, later, the State of Israel. | | | Following Rabbi A.I. Kook (1865-1935), the first Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Palestine, many believed that Zionism and Zionists, however secular, were nonetheless instruments of God who were engaged in divinely inspired work. |
