Template:Hindu politics

Saffronization or saffronisation is a political neologism, used to refer to an increase in power of right-wing Hindu nationalism (or ) the Indian state, usually in a pejorative sense.The name derives from saffron being the political colour used to represent Hindutva.

A related term, the Saffron Brigade, is used as a descriptor of people and organizations in India that promote Hindu nationalism such as the Sangh Parivar; it strongly suggests such organisations following a militant Hindu Fundamentalist agenda and fascist principles. An example of its useage: "Ullal by-polls results are out and the Congress has retained its ‘forte,’ thus upsetting BJP and JD(S) calculations. The message is clear - the BJP has failed to gain the confidence of minorities. “Come what may. We do not want the saffron brigade or any other party which is supporting the saffron brigade to come to power in Ullal” - is the answer given by the electorate of Ullal."
