Theosophy and Politics

According to the statements of Helena Blavatsky and Henry Olcott, modern Theosophy and politics are not connected between themselves in any way. However, investigations of historians and religious studies scholars show that the Theosophical movement has played a significant role in consolidation of Indian nationalism. Similar to neo-Hinduism, Theosophy had supporting promotion the nationalist ideology, and this gave to us a reason to consider it not only as a form of political movement, but also as an integral part of neo-Hinduism.
