What is the supremacy clause of Hindu nationalists?
The supremacy clause in the United States states that whatever the various kooky laws that each state or jurisdiction can impose on its constituents ,if it goes against the spirit and the letter of the U.S Constitution then the Constitution takes precedent. Similarly I have to wonder what takes precedence for Hindu nationalists- Hinduism or the nation. And no they are not synonymous. If they were ,we would have seen atleast something analogous to joint Christian efforts such as the Crusades, Lepanto or Vienna in combating Islamic extremism. There are none ,so therefore Hindus have not constituted a nation. Of course that doesnt mean they cant start. However in order to do that, we have start rethinking about our countries and its border. For example -why are Muslim Kashmir and Christian and tribal northeast in India while Nepal and Sri Lanka are not? This of course involved boldness ,strategic thinking and far reaching vision that no one expects of Hindutvadis and who can blame them
