Hindutva and Hinduism

In my recent readings, I came across two quotes about Hindutva and Hinduism.

The first comes from Sashi Tharoor, in his book The Elephant, the Tiger and the Cellphone:

There are some, like me, who are proud of Hinduism; there are others, including much of the VHP, who are proud of being Hindu. There is a world of difference between the two; the first base their pride on principle and belief, the second on identity and chauvinism. My Hindu pride does not depend on putting others down. Theirs sadly does.

The second comes from Ranjit Hoskote, a columnist for the Hindustan Times. In one of his columns, Painting The Art World Red, he writes:

It appears that the champions of a resurgent Hindu identity are acutely embarrassed by the presence of the erotic at the centre of Hindu sacred art. As they may well be, for the roots of Hindutva do not lie in Hinduism. Rather, they lie in a crude mixture of German romanticism, Victorian puritanism and Nazi methodology. What happens next, we wonder? Will the champions of Hindutva go around the country chipping away at temple murals, breaking down monuments, whitewashing wall paintings, and burning manuscripts and folios? Perhaps they will not stop until they have forced the unpredictable richness of Hindu culture to conform to their own tunnel vision of life, art, image and narrative.

Sashi Tharoor was writing in response to the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Ranjit Hoskote was writing in response to an attack on an arts student for painting Hindu Gods and Goddess's.
