The late Prof.Myron Weiner, a UNICEF chair and an international authority on refugees says that Hindutva is actually a uniting force in India.

In Weiner's own words "Weiner asked why Hindu nationalism, or Hindutva, was sweeping the country, and replacing civic nationalism, or secularism. He suggested that many people "were drawn to the idea of Hindutva, not because of any religious beliefs, but because to so many Hindu nationalism seemed to be a solution to increasing national divisiveness."
