The Hindu supremacist movement is a growing threat to democracy in the United States. In recent years, Hindu supremacists have teamed up with White Supremacists in an attempt to codify Hindutva within U.S. legislation- and this is happening right here in Illinois.

The thrust of the citizenship movement indicates a decline in the rule of law and democracy. It has normalised the extraordinary power of the Modi-led BJP
