The Hindu nationalists are great nation builders.They have the aim of uniting the Hindu society which is plagued by casteism, regionalism and passivism about religion. The Hindu society is divided in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh on caste lines.It is badly divided on regional and language grounds in Tamil Nadu,Andhra Pradesh,and Kerala. VHP,BJP and Bajrang Dal are strong organisations.These nation builders have vowed to protect Hindu identity of India which is in danger. RSS is the world's largest organisation,though VHP is an international organisation. Their slogan is "Sangathit Hindu, Samartha Bharat." (United Hindus,strong India).
