What we see now reveals more things about the nature of the Hindutva project, its aspirations and ideological directions through the decades, than about Zionism.

Last paragraph is so good:

In all, the modern Hindutva ecosystem has been living its ethno-state, hyper-nationalistic dreams through the state of Israel. In the Zionist project, the modern Hindu nationalist elite sees a tangible conclusion of its own Hindu Rashtra blueprint. Israel shows that there’s isn’t an abstract dream; that there is a step-by-step means to the end. What they forget, however, is that the Zionist project owes the bulk of its success to the extraordinary levels of financial assistance and committed political backing offered by the US and Europe in the post-war period. None of that is available to India. Despite its growing closeness with the West, New Delhi doesn’t enjoy even a fraction of the support from the Western political elite that Tel Aviv does. This won’t change anytime soon. So, the Hindutva project’s starry-eyed love for Israel remains devoid of a real geopolitical premise and continues to operate on a brittle ideological fellowship.
