Golden eagles don't mate with bald eagles, deer don't mate with antelope, gray wolves don't mate with red wolves. Just look at domesticated animals, at mongrel dogs, and mixed breed horses, and you'll know the Great Mystery didn't intend them to be that way. We weakened the species and introduced disease by mixing what should be kept seperate. Among humans, intermarriage weakens the respect people have for themselves and for their traditions. It undermines clarity of spirit and mind.

M. S. Golwalkar

They must not only give up their attitude of intolerance towards this hand and its age-long traditions, but must also cultivate the positive attitude of love and devotion instead—they must cease to be foreigners, or may stay in the country wholly subordinated to the Hindu nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges… not even citizen’s rights.

Magh Bahul Ekadashi. To this day Golwalker is one of the most revered of the Hindu nationalists. This is the kind of intolerance that Indian Muslims faced amongst the most extreme Hindu’s. The possibility that this would become a reality was one of the great motivators for partition of India on the part of the Muslims. The irony is that the Muslim nation that was created—Pakistan—follows this doctrine exactly, only they substitute Islam for the Hindu culture. With the exception of a few Muslim nations, most of Islam follows the intolerance that the Hindu extremists would have followed. Ironically, “Hindu” India still has many millions of Muslims and they are given full citizenship and more democratic freedom and rights than Muslims have in almost all Islamic countries with the exception of Turkey.
