印度教性（印地語：हिन्दुत्व，羅馬化：Hindutva），或譯印度教特性（英語：Hinduness），是一種印度教民族主義的表現形式[1]。這術語由維納亞克·達莫德爾·薩瓦卡於1923年創造[2]，這種意識形態被國民志願服務團及印度人民黨使用[3]。
印度教性運動被描述為「右翼極端主義」[5]的變體和「幾乎是古典意義上的法西斯主義」，堅持同質化多數和文化霸權的概念。[6][6]一些分析家對印度教與法西斯主義的認定存在爭議，並認為印度教是一種極端形式的保守主義或「民族專制主義」[7]。

Chetan Bhatt; Parita Mukta. Hindutva in the West: Mapping the Antinomies of Diaspora Nationalism. Ethnic and Racial Studies. May 2000, 23 (3): 407–441. S2CID 143287533. doi:10.1080/014198700328935. 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".
