"Hindutva" in India is a chauvinist and majoritarian political
ideology that conjures up the image of a peaceful Hindu Self
vis-a-vis the threatening minority Other. It is "porno-nationalism"
in its obsessive preoccupation with the predatory sexuality of the
putative Muslim figure and the dangers to the integrity of the
Hindu bodies. The proponents of "Hindutva" mobilize and generate
negative stereotypes of Islam and putative Muslims to legitimize
violence against actual Muslims living in India. Adopting a
critical ethnographic approach, this book investigates myriad ways
in which the discourses of culture, insecurity, gender, identity,
and violence intersect in Hindu nationalism's reactionary and
right-wing politics of fear and imagination.
