M. S. Golwalkar
Madhavrao Sadashivrao Golwalkar was the second Sarsanghchalak of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). He has been widely noted to be the most prominent ideologue of Hindutva. He was notorious for his controversial comments on Indian politics and religious aspects. Golwalkar is treated as one of the most influential and prominent figure among Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. He was the first person to put forward the concept of a religion based nation naming "Hindu Rashtra" which is believed to be evolved in the course of time into the concept of the "two nation theory" considering separate nations for Hindus and Muslims. Golwalkar was one among the early Hindu Nationalist thinkers in India and was widely criticized for his statements having racist and violent sides. Golwalkar authored the books Bunch of Thoughts and We, or Our Nationhood Defined. When central government under BJP rule named second campus of Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology after him, it was criticised by both Communist Party and INC as he was an extreme nativist who had even considered Islam and Christianity in India as foreign religions, contra-distinguished by Hinduism, which is the Native Religion of India.
