The Hindu Nationalist Movement in India - by Christophe Jaffrelot (Paperback)
The book "Hindu Nationalism" by Christophe Jaffrelot is a comprehensive and insightful account of the Hindu nationalist movement in India since the 1920s.
The author explores how rapid changes in the political, social, and economic climate have made India fertile soil for the growth of the primary arm of Hindu nationalism, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), together with its political offshoots.
Jaffrelot argues that political uneasiness, created by real and imagined threats of colonialism and the presence of minority groups, paved the way for militant Hinduism on the Indian subcontinent.
He shows how the Hindu movement uses religion to enter the political sphere and polarizes Indian society by stigmatizing minorities - chiefly Muslims and Christians - and promoting a sectarian Hindu identity.
Through close empirical research, Jaffrelot provides incisive interpretations of past failures and recent successes beginning in the 1980s, taking into account the subtle interaction between long-term strategies for changing a country's culture and short-term tactics of political accommodation.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of Hindu nationalism and its impact on Indian society.
