印度教性（印地语：हिन्दुत्व，罗马化：Hindutva），或译印度教特性（英语：Hinduness），是一种印度教民族主义的表现形式[1]。这术语由维纳亚克·达莫德尔·萨瓦卡于1923年创造[2]，这种意识形态被国民志愿服务团及印度人民党使用[3]。
印度教性运动被描述为“右翼极端主义”[5]的变体和“几乎是古典意义上的法西斯主义”，坚持同质化多数和文化霸权的概念。[6][6]一些分析家对印度教性与法西斯主义的认定存在争议，并认为印度教性是一种极端形式的保守主义或“民族专制主义”[7]。

Quote: "It is also argued that the distinctively Indian aspects of Hindu nationalism, and the RSS's disavowal of the seizure of state power in preference for long-term cultural labour in civil society, suggests a strong distance from both German Nazism and Italian Fascism. Part of the problem in attempting to classify Golwalkar's or Savarkar's Hindu nationalism within the typology of 'generic fascism', Nazism, racism and ethnic or cultural nationalism is the unavailability of an appropriate theoretical orientation and vocabulary for varieties of revolutionary conservatism and far-right-wing ethnic and religious absolutist movements in 'Third World' countries".
