Hindutva is different from Hinduism. Most followers of Hinduism, like the followers of any other religion are peaceful, non-violent and tolerant. Hindutva is a political ideology. It advocates use of violence, confuses nationality with culture and religion, is supremacist and exclusionary. It believes that only people who support it should have first class citizenship in India. All others should be second class citizens. Nazism in Germany under Hitler said the same thing. We all know what happened when Nazism was allowed to grow. Sangh Parivar is a loose network of organizations led by the RSS whose founders were admirers of Adolf Hitler.

1971 would have happened irrespective of the party in power.I don't share your opinion that it is the most momentous event.
