The Hindu nationalists are not only invisiblizing the religion and cultural heritage of minorities in social space, they are also homogenizing Hindu culture by imposing cultural practices of Hindu upper caste elite on the entire community.
Colonisation referred to by Hindu nationalists did not begin with the British imperialism. Prime Minister Modi claimed that India had been colonised for 1,200 years. According to Mohan Bhagwat, the RSS Sarsanghchalak (chief), India had been colonised for 1,500 years.
