I'm a nationalist. I'm a patriot. Nothing is wrong. I'm a born Hindu. Nothing is wrong. So, I'm a Hindu nationalist, so yes, you can say I'm a Hindu nationalist because I am a born Hindu, I'm patriotic, so nothing is wrong in it.

I am proud to call myself a Hindu, I am proud that I am one of your unworthy servants.

Therefore have faith in yourselves, be proud of your ancestors, instead of being ashamed of them.

Swami Vivekananda

People value Halloween, like Valentine's Day, because they can tell themselves that it's not merely secularized but actually secular, which is to say, not Christian, Jewish, Hindu or Muslim.
