Who pulled them down from the heights: Hindus who were so fed up of their treacheries that they did not bother to go and vote for them, or voted for others? Or Hindus who kept exposing their treacheries in the social media?

Dhruv Rathee, by picking up the same line, not only seeks to establish himself as a prime anti-Hindu, but also leverage this into the "polarize-votes-for-Modi" game of which he is a part. The funny part of his video is the way in which he alternately blows hot and cold on the subject of Aurangzeb, as per his convenience: in places he quotes (with a smug, gloating expression, I must add) Audrey Truschke's whitewashing attempts to show that Aurangzeb is not really bad and was actually nice towards Hindus. In other places he contrasts good Shivaji with bad Aurangzeb, when his aim is to advice Hindus on how they should behave if they want to be Real Hindus like Shivaji!

The main argument of these people is that Hindu is a name or appellation given to us by "foreigners" or "outsiders", whereas Sanātana is a self-descriptive name for ourselves.

Most of these issues are described and discussed in detail, with facts and figures, by Anand Ranganathan in his book "Hindus in Hindu Rashtra − Eighth-Class Citizens and victims of State-Sanctioned Apartheid". They are issues which should, in sensible words, be included in, and in fact should form the highlights of, the election manifesto of any political party claiming to be Hindu or Hindutvawadi, or even simply claiming to believe in justice to and equal treatment of all citizens regardless of religion. But these issues (with the exception of point 8, on which more presently) do not form any part of the proclaimed manifesto or agenda of the BJP.
But the BJP has huge unofficial armies of internet and whatsapp bhakts and trolls, who make all the Hindutva promises that the BJP itself would never dare to make − and would never possibly dream of even trying to implement − and manage to create the impression among gullible Hindu voters that a vote for the BJP is a vote for Hindu survival.
