हिंदुत्व / Hindutva -the myth.

हिंदुत्व / Hindutva -the myth 
--
हन् > हनति, हिनस्ति in संस्कृत / Sanskrit means 'to kill'. 
There is another root 'जन्' 'जनयति' in संस्कृत that means 'to bear / to be born', to come into 'being'. This 'be' itself has 'भू'  / 'bhoo' as the Sanskrit root, meaning the same i.e.'to bear / to be born', to come into 'being'.
Interesting to note that 'जन्' becomes 'जन्तु' meaning animal / creature, in Sanskrit.
Like-wise 'हन्' > 'हिनस्ति' > हिन्तु > हिंतुः > हिंदु > हिंदू > means that is killed / kills, destroyed / destroys.
The प्राण / चेतना vector (देवता) in the seed (संस्कृत 'सद्' > 'सीदति') / बीजाक्षर suggests that the Cosmic Energy / Consciousness when acts through this > मन्त्र-शब्द / 'mantra-shabda' aims at the total annihilation of the object it is associated with.
But at the same time, because हिंदुत्व / Hindutva itself is a myth, and this myth by being given the name of 'religion' / 'faith' was purposefully put at par with other such myths like Islam, Jew-ism, Catholicism and Christianity by people politically motivated, was doomed to meet its destiny. 
Like they claim 'Sanskrit' is a dead language, they also insist that हिंदुत्व / Hindutva is a dead religion. I fully endorse this view.
Because हिंदुत्व / Hindutva  is / was a myth, an adjunct (उपाधि-सत्ता) in the Vedanta-parlance, which has a formal and apparent existence with a view for practical use, it is never born nor dies.
As वेदांत declares :
न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचन नायं भूत्वा            
सनातन / वैदिक धर्म which is neither a myth nor a 'religion' or 'faith' but is ever so immortal, eternal spirit (अध्यात्म)  / Spirituality.
हिंदुत्व / Hindutva  on the other hand has to die, simply because it had a 'birth' in time / space.
हिंदुत्व / Hindutva  is but a concept and though could become a 'faith' of few, has no essence or substance that could overcome 'death', apparent or virtual.
