Trads (Hindutva)

Trads (short for "Traditionalists") is a term used to describe various internet groups relating to the alt-right within the Hindutva movement. Advocating for a Hindu nation based on traditional values and Brahminical supremacy, they also want a strict adherence to the traditional Hindu caste system. The group is seen as a Hindu supremacist faction that criticises other Hindutva groups like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), for weakening "true" Hindu traditions. Their content is based on provocative hate based on caste, religion, race, and gender and these groups promote rhetoric for genocide of Muslims and other Indian minorities.
