This book explores the emergence of identity politics and violence
at the forefront of political life in an Indian state. Through a
close reading of everyday politics in West Bengal, India, which
until recently boasted of the longest-serving elected communist
government in the world, the volume presents unique observations on
Indian politics and its trajectories. One of the first ethnographic
studies of religious polarisation and its interface with politics
in West Bengal, this book: Offers a fresh perspective, both
theoretically and empirically, by using longitudinal, multi-site
ethnography, to explain the mechanisms by which identity issues
have re-emerged; Studies key policy changes, political practices
and series of invented traditions during periods of political
transition; Examines intricate details of the micro-dynamics of the
formulation and expansion of Hindu and Islamic fundamentalism and
their political counterparts, which carry a capacity to push away
secular, democratic forces from the existing political spectrum;
Sheds light on the mechanisms of riots, its design, organisational
bases and mechanisms of spread; Includes key observations from the
2021 elections in the state. The volume will be of great interest
to scholars and researchers of political science, social and
cultural anthropology, sociology and South Asian studies.
