I too don't like 'Hindu nationalism' (or nationalism of any other kind or place). I don't like 'Hindu revival' and all that 'sone ki chidiya' etc. Does that automatically make me a 'self-hating Hindu' (my parents are Hindus, so I qualify LOL).
I think it'd be better if both sides (or really just about everyone) stopped trying to psycho-analyze the other. It helps no body and only creates a highly prejudiced mind.
