This book is an ethnographic account of the emergence of Hindu
nationalism in a tribal (adivasi) community in Chhattisgarh,
central India. It is argued that the successful spread of Hindu
nationalism in this area is due to the involvement of the Rashtriya
Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a militant Hindu nationalist organization,
in local affairs. While active engagement in 'civilizing'
strategies has enabled the RSS to legitimize its presence and
endear itself to the local community, the book argues that
participation in more aggressive strategies has made it possible
for this organization to fuel and attach local tensions to a
broader Hindu nationalist agenda.
