Mani Aiyar Sparks Row Calling Hindutva Paranoid Hinduism

Mani Shankar Aiyar, a leader from the Congress party, said that Hindutva is like Hinduism but full of fear and paranoia.

He talked about this in a debate where other important people were also speaking.

He said that Hinduism is a peaceful and old religion, but Hindutva is a new political idea that makes Hindus afraid of Muslims and does violent things.

The BJP, another political party, got very angry and said that Aiyar was insulting their religion.

They said that Hindutva is just another way to describe Hinduism and that the Supreme Court has already said it's a way of life.

So, there's a big argument between these two parties about what Hindutva really means.
