Tensions between British Indians and Pakistanis could swell again following the jihadist attack in Pahalgam in Kashmir .

The idea that Hindutva ideology is a threat comparable to Islamism or the far right isn't just wrong it's reckless.

Pursuing phantom threats will only make matters worse, writes Hardeep Singh .
