Will Hindutva Cause Violence?

In terms of a global power, India is one of the most significant emerging nations in the world today. The traditional and influential powers of the United States, Russia, China, Japan, and the European Union (EU) have begun to recognize the potential of the Indian populous. This nuclear power has a thriving economy and the second largest population in the world. Although India is officially a secular democratic republic, the views of the Hindu majority play a significant role in the political decision making of the country. In fact, stability of the vast South Asian region (see Appendix A) is often dependent on the will of a people living in a dynamic religiously-focused environment.
