India, as one of the most diverse societies in the world, has always been an arena of contestation between identity and political discourses. Drawing on the theoretical framework of Laclau and Mouffe and employing critical discourse analysis, this study examines the transformations of the “Hindutva” discourse in India’s domestic politics. This article aims to answer the main question that on what basis is Hindutva structured and how are these signifiers reflected in Indian domestic politics between 2014 and 2024.The findings reveal that this discourse, through the articulation of nodal points such as nation, culture, civilization, and territory, has sought to consolidate its hegemony over Indian national identity. Policies such as the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution and the enactment of the 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act,, have served as key instruments in reinforcing this process. At the same time, despite its expanding influence, the Hindutva discourse is marked by internal fissures and social resistance, rendering it an unfinished and evolving project. The study demonstrates that Hindutva is not merely a fixed ideology but a dynamic project that redefines the boundaries between tradition and modernity and intricately interweaves religion and politics in contemporary India. Adopting a critical and interdisciplinary approach, this research not only addresses an existing gap in Persian- and region-specific literature on Hindutva, but also contributes to a deeper understanding of identity and political dynamics in South Asia and, at a broader level, enriches theoretical debates on the nexus of religion, politics, and nationalism within comparative studies.
