Every struggle for human dignity is a political and spiritual revolution. While we go through the lines of “I Could Not be Hindu”, by Bhanwar Meghwanshi, we will wonder who could be a Hindu. The identity of Hindu is widely problematized in the auto-biography of Bhanwar Meghwanshi. His story narrates that Hindu is not a majority but a minuscule minority, that is Brahmin-Bania nexus, who pretends as the majority and reflects their image as the image of Indian culture. This book very clearly illustrates how the Hindutva’s ideological frontal institution RSS has nurtured the ideology of Hinduism and penetrated into the social fabric of Indian society. The author presents his views as an insider at the outset and reflects his ideological mooring as an opponent of Hindutva philosophy.
