If Twitter is a bellwether, we are observing interesting shifts within H-Right
Traditionally, H-Right stood for Hindu Rashtra, not Hindu raj
All Hindutva figures (be it Golwalkar, Savarkar, Vajpayee or even Modi) averred
Sections of H-twitter are now disagreeing with this

H-Rashtra meant Hindu basis for nationhood
H-Raj meant Hindu state
The latter was never a hindutva item. Nor it is an item for say the likes of Modi / Shah, to my knowledge.
But trads on twitter have different views

What Hindu-Raj means is -
It is no longer enough for public culture to be Hindu, and an open acknowledgment of hindu glue holding India together
Rather, there is an urge felt for legislation to support many Hindu causes

This is not merely restricted to legislation that evens the playing field, removes appeasement of minorities etc
Rather for legislation to support certain H-ideas
E.g. Should we outlaw H-M marriages?
Should we outlaw consumption of beef? (not talking of slaughter-bans here)

These things are not openly voiced yet
But an urge is definitely out there. It is manifesting itself on the fringes of Twitter
Though no BJP politician has supported such lines of thinking afaik

It might be a sign of things to come.
Which might eventually cause a split in the BJP
With the more religiously conservative "H-Raj" seeking wing splitting away to form a far-right party, leaving the BJP as the dominant somewhat secularized center-right party
