Abstract: This paper examines the similar paths of Hindutva in India and Zionism in Israel as the successful ethno-religious nationalism models that promote internal control and regional turmoil. With a reliance on the setting of recent hotspot surrounding of the and May 2025 India Pakistan and the June 2025 Iran Israel, the study investigates what happens when state-sponsored religious supremacism facilitates the transformation of domestic politics, the oppression of minority groups, and the international confrontation. A comparative qualitative analysis pursued by the paper addresses ideological and strategic similarities between the two states, evaluates the reaction of key world political players and questions the reduced form of pluralistic democracies. The implications of the findings lie in the highlight they give to the effect of spreading the danger of religiously centered nationalism in the international arena in case it is institutionalized in the state policy.
