Contrary to what people think today about Shiv Sena as the flag bearer of Hindutva, the party never took a great leap towards uniting the Hindus from all parts of the country.
Taking advantage of the lack of any influential leaders like Subhas Chandra Bose in the country, both Nehru and Gandhi became instrumental in the execution of the partition.
Although the BJP has maintained a safe distance from the idea of “Hindu Rashtra” as propounded by Veer Savarkar and repeatedly demanded by RSS, the growing nationalism is, in reality, unifying the Hindus.
