Modi government has developed a somewhat unique affinity for Hindu nationalism, resulting in the adoption of radical policies to make Hindu nationalism rise significantly and become the mainstream ideology in India. However, this radicalisation has led to severe unrest in the society along with religious and ethnic lines, as well as serious antagonism, which in turn led to religious and ethnic dissent in the country. In order to divert nation's attention from pressing issues and channel the nationalists' energies, Modi government adopted aggressive policy orientation & posturing against neighbouring countries, including provoking border conflicts in Dong Lang, Galwan River Valley. This has exerted a significant impact on India's relations with its neighbours, particularly China. Consequently, India’s 'conscious resistance' and xenophobic attitude towards China is increasing which has led to a significant retreat from bilateral relations, obstruction of economic cooperation, and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
