This book offers an in-depth study of right-wing politics in India
by analysing the shifting ideologies of Hindu nationalism and its
evolution in the late nineteenth century through to twenty-first
century. The authors provide a thorough overview of the
chronological evolution of Hindu nationalist organizational outfits
to reveal how Hindu nationalist ideology has adapted in ways that
have not always corresponded with the orthodox Hindu nationalist
position. An examination of the overriding preference for Hindu
nationalism demonstrates how it has flourished and continues to
remain relevant in contemporary India despite being marginalized at
the dawn of India's independence. The book demonstrates that Hindu
nationalism is a context-driven ideological device which is
sensitive to the ideas and priorities that gradually gain salience.
It also explores Hindu nationalism as a vote-catching device,
especially from the late twentieth century onwards. Providing a
nuanced analysis of Hindu nationalism in India as a constantly
evolving phenomenon, this book will be of interest to researchers
on Asian political theory, nationalism, religious politics and
South Asian and Indian politics.
