Hindu terrorism, sometimes called Hindutva terror[1][2] or, metonymically, saffron terror,[3] refer to terrorist acts carried out on the basis of motivations in broad association with Hindu nationalism or Hindutva.
Such acts have principally been perpetrated by members, or alleged members, of Hindu nationalist organisations such as Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or Abhinav Bharat.[4][5][6]
The phenomenon became a topic of contentious political discourse in the aftermath of the 2007–2008 attacks which targeted Pakistanis and Muslims in India.
